According to Kaiser, Steven Universe is now outdated, because if it had been written starting now, it would support violent revolution instead of peaceful negotiation. The idea that Rebecca Sugar could currently support peaceful negotiation, with full knowledge of current events, doesn't seem to have occurred to her.

I don't think this is a contradictory thing to say. It might or might not be a correct stance, but I think it's at least coherent. It's an opinion about what the work should do, not an opinion about what the creator would actually do.

I'm not familiar enough with the website or the arguments or the context, I'm just going off the example provided.

So...

Protip: read the piece of text you're quoting.

I did read the piece. But we're relying on OP summarizing a point of view that they admittedly don't agree with. I did try to quickly look for whatever the original source of this argument was, but I couldn't find it in a quick 5 minutes of Googling.

And I sort of doubt that the argument was that Steven Universe actually factually definitely would support violent revolution if it was made today, because that's an obviously stupid claim. So I sort of thought it was more likely that OP made a slightly loose choice of verb mood when summarizing, because that's the kind of thing that happens literally all of the time.
