cosmo and wanda i wish everyone who interprets the plot of steven universe in bad faith as “being friends with space nazis” goes to hell no matter what

#shut up pandora #su #steven universe #while i would have made the main characters be more uncomfortable with the diamonds genocide tendencies #(which they probably would have done if they didnt get canceled by cn for being gay) #steven universes message has been and always will be about family #the diamonds are your homophobic grandma who goes on about how she just wants the best for you aka to not date girls #she hates everything you are but she loves what you represent #and while its perfectly valid to cut someone like that off like steven does in the movie and future #irl relationships are always more nuanced than hurr durr grandma is evil lets throw her in a wood chipper #steven universes message is encapsulated in the last song of the original show #where people who hate you for your identity are not owed your compassion #nor do you need them to love and respect you #but everyone has the chance to change their mind #and youll be open to giving them a second chance #its an optimistic take on bigotry that not everyone agrees on and its okay #but you dont get to accuse this whole ass jewish person of sympathizing with nazis just because you dont agree with their life philosophy #also uh if you look at the diamonds as actual authorities it also tracks bc in case you havent noticed #every politician hates at least some maginalized identities #and if you refuse to kiss up to them they literally will not put in any effort into helping you make the world a better place #and yes sometimes you do need governments to help you #basically steven universes philosophy is be gay do crimes #cut off bigots but keep an open mind if they change for the better even if you dont forgive them #work with politicians even bigoted ones for widescale positive change bc sometimes thats the only realistic way to do so #and then cut them off and spend time with your gay found family and sing about your feelings
