Pretty much, yeah. They can't use the space rock excuse considering they only use feminine pronouns. That said I fucking love the show

God, I love Steven Universe.

I just can't stand sugar for adding relationships and making them the forefront od the stories. Just look at what shes done/tried with A.T.
BloodiDodi
Let me guess she's behind that season with no Finn or Jake and absolutely no jokes, no humor. It completely killed AT for me.

i still like SU, but i did notice when the series became very much about drama. it feels like its written for highschool girls

I love Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems

As a 20yr-old, I don't watch this show, so she doesn't have the *entire* demographic.
Bacxaber
That's not how demographics work, champ.
InboxMeYourHDGIFs
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/demographic the third definition, the way she used the word. All I'm saying is that she should have said 1/
InboxMeYourHDGIFs
"Most" instead of "Entire". I'm just being overly technical.

Didn't adventure time (Pendleton ward) guy come out saying it's canon that Marceline and Bubblegum dated? Was there backlash on that?

So that's why I hate that show. I'm 29. It finally makes sense.

It's just a-gender space rocks in love.
WetBread44
Cartoon Network has always had shows that challenge sexual norms, gender roles, and so on. Honestly love CN and Adult Swim
sdfq3gb23gb423g2
the AT episode Princess Cookie is about a transgendered cookie.
yapyapblahblahdribbledribbledribble
Justice League had an interracial and interspecies relationship, Green Lantern and Hawkwoman.
Deathviper
There series Clarence has a boy in it with lesbian parents.
Stendal
Clarence is a way better show at selling diversity than Steven Universe will ever be.
sdfq3gb23gb423g2
steven universe had a lesbian couple in the background of the first Connie episode, and we thought that was racy then!

It's Princess Bubblegum X Marceline all over again except they got in shit just for insinuated lesbian tension
ShamnusMcfee
There wasn't 'lesbian tension', that was invented by weird motherfuckers on the internet obsessed with shipping everything in sight
SaltyInternetPirate
I know CN, but who are the other ones?
cavelcade
Rebecca sugar.
SaltyInternetPirate
Looked her up on IMDb. I've never watched any of those, mostly because I haven't had cable for years.

Countdown to Rule 34 Queening... 5... 4... 3...

this strikes me as decidedly non-gay
UncomfortableTruths
A feminine a butch woman making out isn't gay? If you say so!
Freudberg
ohhhh...they're both girls
UncomfortableTruths
Yes, Ruby and Sapphire are both women. They're also the two gems who make Garnet, who is one of the main characters of the show. In the-
UncomfortableTruths
episode the scene me and OP are referencing, Garnet had split apart because Ruby and Sapphire were fighting about something. Here's -

yay for gay!

I'm excited to see more of Pearl and her new friend.
RelativeVelocity
Me too
TheMrPendragon
But... but... isn't the implication that Ruby is masculine and Sapphire feminine? Sure, asexual and all, but how is that gay?
adhdtv
They're technically neither gender, but consider that their species has a single alien sex, then theyre all homosexual.
Kaineg
Masculine women exist. The gems are technically agendered but they're all coded female.
Deftscythe
In the eyes of CN, regardless of affectation both of the characters are referred to as "she," hence gay.
yourmomisminenow
well yea that's pretty gay
UncomfortableTruths
The gems are only technically sexless. They're all voiced by women and use feminine pronouns. Steven is the only gem that's a guy, and -
UncomfortableTruths
he is a unique exception who was created by his Mom and Dad under special circumstances.
Vempire
These special circumstances include Greg inserting his dick into a rock.

THEY MADE A BABY.
Goronhead
I still wish they'd elaborate on exactly how all of that happened. I don't expect them to, though.
JesusWasAMaoist
They stated that Rose shape shifted in a womb so she could be pregnant.
aerodynamit3
Pandering to SJWs. Makes for Terrible Content
wererat2000
They're really not pandering, that's just the story they want to write.
hooooooooooooooboi
This is why nobody likes us damn it
Marceline
Rebecca Sugar has spoken about being bisexual, so this show is kinda important to her and not only for that.
aerodynamit3
Except she said in the comic above explicitly that the characters are without gender. Therefore they cannot be any sort of "sexuality".
Marceline
That may be the case, but they are always referred to as "she" and "her". They may not have a gender but they're symbolic of femininity .
aerodynamit3
seems to me more like a cop out to silence criticism. or a way to have her cake and eat it too, and its super obvious, and disingenuous.
aerodynamit3
out of one side of her mouth she claims the characters to be agendered, while out the other they "symbolize femininity." thats insane logic
Marceline
Look, guy, what exactly are you complaining about? That there's a show that goes against the normal & somehow that makes it pandering?
IsDisassembled
Or maybe the creator enjoys her work and what it means for people. It's only pandering if you're doing it specifically to appeal to a 1/2
IsDisassembled
specific group with the only intention being to turn a profit. SU is not pandering. 2/2
NotRainman1344
Thats literally why she does it. To pander to the younger demo. That will buy the SU merch and watch the show loyally,increasing ratings.
IsDisassembled
Actually, she writes the content she does because it appeals to her. Her fanbase sprung up as a result of the material also appealing to 1/2
IsDisassembled
people who identify with the show's content. Pandering would be writing for the masses, not for one's self which happens 2/3
Marceline
A cartoon on a cartoon channel for kids is branded to appeal to the young demo by making something relatable and different. Total pandering
NotRainman1344
Despite what you see online, LGBT is not the norm
Marceline
I've actually heard that CN has been pretty supportive of Rebecca- it's just that bringing SU to different countries is a problem
Dispari
Similar issue with Korra. They were limited in what they could do because it would be banned in other countries.
iwillmessagerandompeoplegifs
Is that part of the reason why they went to online only episodes?
Dispari
No, Nick was yanking them around on funding and didn't know what to do with it. They also cut enough money they had to do a pseudo-clipshow.

Yea, we just heard that Russia's cutting out The Answer and Hit The Diamond for being too gay. Worse because HTD is an important transition.
Goronhead
Wasn't it Russia that put a mustache on Ruby, too?
Marceline
oh god, i need to see that
Goronhead
I found it again, but it looks like it's a fake. https://redd.it/4ykwcp

Lol that's fantastic
EnigmaRequiem
I dont know, I'm not really up to date with old bullshit, just new bullshit. TBH that'd be a sorta acceptable compromise.

Here in the UK they edited some to make it less gay, which is stupid. BRING ON THE GAY

What? Did they give Ruby a man's voice or something?

Cut out some of the rose/pearl scene where they dance and fuse

Japan gave garnet a man's voice ironically

Please please do.

If I was a kid and watching Steven Universe it would have taken SO MUCH LESS TIME TO FIGURE SHIT OUT I would have been like 6-7 and all "OH"

It's like yeah the reason you like following that schoolmate around so much.. that's called a gay crush.

yo to the downvote faeries, if you're not queer and looking back on your youth you won't understand this at all
