Considering that one of the products released on Cartoon Network‘s online merch store was a Pride-themed Garnet pin I have a feeling you may be onto something here.Even the wedding itself was praised more for being gay than for the characters in the end. Doesn’t help that Ruby and Sapphire are pretty shallow as characters despite being these gay icons.
Don’t forget the whole “Shep is a good example of NB rep” crap... Actually, take your pick from any bit from Future and I’m sure you’ll find someone wiling to call it out.Concerning the fanbase, while you’ll always have the hardcore ones who will lap anything up, there are some that will call bullshit on the writers. Peridot being “aroace” is a good example of that.
As for the whole “Peridot is aroace” thing is concerned that just felt like pure self-fulfillment on Maya Peterson’s part and claiming Word of Saint Paul on the whole announcement felt incredibly disrespectful to Rebecca, if Rebecca wants the green triangle Gem to be a turbo-autist in both the social and romantic sense then let HER Be the one to confirm it.
