Yeah - (From what I observe of it, due to :autism
THAT... is probably part of why people love this show so much... He (and his friend) doesn't act like other teenagers normally do in this medium (or its more abundant & successful Japanese counterpart.).

You mean another Cartoon Network show turns out to have been the brainchild of somebody who has some real issues and is trying to send some kind of message through children's TV? And here I thought Flapjack was the end of that shit.
But it is kind of telling when Cartoon Network repeatedly has shows meant for Adult Swim toned the fuck down to be shown mainstream instead, while at the same time outright progressive-message pushing stuff originally pitched for mainstream of extremely questionable nature (again, Flapjack is my go-to example) gets full support way too easily in comparison.
Sealab 2021 should be a role model for how to improve shit like that. Still need to see if the first season of that exists on DVD, come to think of it...
Perhaps there is a reason the recent trend is rebooting all the awesome shit from the 80's instead of trying to create all new IPs - along with why most of these reboots don't really work if they deviate too much or have corporate interests too closely tied to their success as was the fate of the Thundercats revival.
Heh, that reminds me of Animaniacs which made no attempt to shy away from those kinds of jokes - like, goddamn, the pianist joke is one of the best examples. Wako Warner outright coming on after those jokes to say 'goodnight everybody' almost is a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement that the joke potentially just shown to children was something meant for adults.
I thought all the girls in the show were actually timelord-esque regenerating gems or something? Granted I never have watched the show but I've heard a few things about the premise. And also how Steve has serious 'my parents are dead' issues or something.

I never knew anything about this show, but the more I know the more I see why retarded autists love it so much.

My answer to this is ''so what?''
People create shit that they feel its close to them, and she managed to make something that doesn't come as straight on propaganda and pandering. If you forget for a second about gender politics and all that bullshit, this show is pretty ok for its standard. Unfortunately, its premise attracted most abysmal part of Tumblr and got worst fanbase you could ask for.
At least Steven isn't holding poster of a dead trans teenager in his room.

Filled to the brim with a ton of low brow humor or jokes mainly about being fucking pricks to other people just for the sake of being assholes.
And then there was the Candy Wife. Jesus Christ was there no reason for anything involving it.
I didn't even get that far, the show was so disgusting and mean-humored I couldn't see how it ever was enjoyable.

Oh I figured you meant it had some pedo ass rape thing or something.
The show is horribly preachy as well. Garnet is the fusion of two very co-dependent Magic lesbians, and their inability to exist as separate beings is praised in the show by titling their obsession with being fused 24/7 as "the perfect relationship"
Preachy, unhealthy, stupidly idealistic. That's what this show is, idealism in SJW lenses.

Flapjack was pretty funny from what I remember. But it shouldn't have been on Cartoon Network daily shows. More of a adult swim title to be honest.

SU is a cartoon made by fetishists (both sexual and of political ideas), for fetishists, to legitimize their fetishes. IMO there's being a bisexual in the animation industry and then there's being a weird overzealous creepo putting her sexuality where it shouldn't be, and Rebecca Sugar leans towards the latter. Her befriending Shmorky says a lot.
You know how 80s disney basically created furries? I wonder what SU will create (if kids actually watched it tho lol). Can't wait to get called a shitlord for disrespecting the neighbors' kid's transgemderness.

You realize that describes nearly every old Looney Toon and Tom & Jerry cartoon ever, right?
FWIW I didn't care much for Flapjack either.

A better form of their beloved representation was if they had shown that yes Garnet is the fusion of some rock lesbian couple, but left it at that. Instead of what they did, insert a lot of romantic moments whenever they're in an episode together in a show demographic where the most we generally get is the characters having crushes on other characters. Instead it's all LESBIANS LESBIANS DID YOU FORGET THEY'RE LESBIANS which seems to be there for the benefit of people like Andrew Dobson.

It's like saying the narrator of The Stranger is justified in killing a guy out of pure racism.

You can laugh at something without endorsing it in real life, dude.
