If you speed it up to 2x, you go from 2 hours of stupid shit being said, to only 1.Welp, Jerry's Steven Universe video is up and running for the whole world to see. I knew we wouldn't have to wait until December, but this is still a little earlier than expected. I'm really tempted to watch it and do the same thing I did for Jerry's last Glass of Water, but it's so long and it's for a show I really don't like that much. So will it be Steven Universe fanbase to respond, me, or noone? Suggestions I guess.

Jokes aside, there is tons of shit Jerry gets either blatantly wrong, or puts words into Sugar’s mouth.
- He claims that Nicki Minaj hasn’t returned to voice Sugilite because she was unaware of her “racist” portrayal, and asserts this point with no sources to cite. It’s been made clear plenty of times that the Crewniverse hasn’t brought her back because she was expensive. A better point would be criticizing the Crewniverse for using Nicki in the first place.
- He brings up the Concrete Controversy. A long dead topic that was stupid when it was new. Enough said.
- He gets upset that Pearl and Rose’s relationship is unhealthy, when that is the entire point of the relationship. Sugar and Ian have said that Pearl is a heavily flawed character, and her existence is to show that people (particularly girls) shouldn’t need to be in a relationship or devote themselves to someone in order to feel complete. Pearl’s arc was about escaping her unhealthy obsession.
- He insists that Rebecca has said that Jasper was the abuser in Malachite, when in reality, Rebecca said that Malachite was mutually toxic and brought out the worst in both Jasper and Lapis. She has said that Lapis’ part in it was having complete control over Jasper and uses her as a scapegoat to vent out all of her anger from being trapped in the mirror. Jasper was meant to depict someone making self-destructive decisions due to a deep rooted shame and self loathing from the huge standards set upon her by being the only good thing that Homeworld got out of Earth, and Rebecca summed her role up as appealing to Lapis’ anger and desire to vent out on someone.
- Rebecca never said Rose was supposed to be a good person. If anything, the show seemed pretty dedicated to taking Rose off of the pedestal characters had her placed upon. Rebecca said that Rose is a very morally grey character and was a horrible person who struggled with feeling empathy (though I will agree that PD twist felt rushed as fuck).
- Jerry insists that fascists can’t be nuanced characters. Kylo Ren called. He said to go fuck yourself with a bayonet.
- Talks about racial coding.
- Jumps on the “Steven is trans” theory as a means of understanding why Stevonnie appears so feminine, when it’s been said plenty of times that the Fusion designs are made to look cool. Not to actually mean something.
- Complains about Steven treating the Diamonds like they aren’t genocidal dictators, when he hasn’t. He’s the one forcing them to fix the corrupted gems. He cannot physically mess with the Diamonds on their level or “punish”them for their actions. All he can really do is tell them that they’re assholes and to fix the shit they made.
- He complains about Homewold some more, when the show has stated that they don’t just destroy planets for no reason, they need resources, and Earth had resources.
