Steven Universe fandom (Gemtlemen)

If I wanted to watch Steven Universe, I'd watch the show instead of a rection video to the show. I still don't understand the point of reaction videos. please explain

They used to be for shit like 2girls1cup that was both short, the people watching it knew what was coming, the person reacting didn't, and so I guess the idea was it was amusing to see someone be utterly horrified. It also didn't take more than a couple minutes, so as unfunny as it usually was even then, at least you didn't waste much time watching it.

Now, they're made unironically because atsimu and because of pop culture shit like Kids React, started by notorious pedophiles the Fine Brothers as an excuse to fap to Lia Marie Johnson.
 
Suddenly there's an influx of people trying to push that people who are open spergs about children's cartoon isn't a weird thing. Hmmm...
So this is what to expect from these community watch threads. For a moment, I thought the anxiety about what this thread would turn into was a little overblown.
 
So can someone explain the general premise and plot of this show for those of us who don't want to watch a children's cartoon? I think it would greatly contribute to our ability to comprehend what the fans are actually talking about.

Also, what the fuck IS a gem exactly?
A ten year old boy who's also his own mom goes on adventures with three alien rocks who take the forms of a bird-like ballerina with a huge superiority complex, a giant black woman who's really two lesbian midgets, and a "hip" fat girl for the Tumblrinas to obsess over. That's basically it. Also, according to the fandom, everyone is trans or some silly made-up gender or sexual orientation.

Lesbian space rocks that turn into humans help raise an annoying kid into a "good guy."

Also they can "fuse" with each other to form a bigger ballerina with a bow, a casino employee and Nicki Minaj.
