Steven Universe fandom (Gemtlemen)

I'm genuinely concerned that people keep rating my "don't enjoy children's cartoons publicly as an adult" post Disagree. Is it really so much to ask to not constantly sperg about you enjoying something designed for people full decades younger than you?

Spergs gonna Spergs but seriously you guys just start a thread in off topic if you want to talk about cartoons. Like nobody cares about that stupid cowboy bebop drawing that got drawn over, literally nobody.

We all know here that Steven Universe is designed for the "progressive" (wo)manchildren, not the kids.

you seem to forget the people that are disagreeing with you are half lolcows themselves.

Indeed. Dislikes in these cases are actually quite useful, because they tell you who to keep an eye on.

Those 'character of the day' things are pretty annoying. In typical Tumblr fashion, instead of bringing attention to characters that actually are LGBT, they just try to morph other ones to fit their needs.

I have to say, the dialogue, voice-acting, and writing are all quite good. It's easy to get absorbed into the show despite its faults and the fact that it's obviously intended as a kids' cartoon.

On its surface, the show seems to be a simple show about the adventures of a boy and his otherworldly hero companions - and one made in the innocent fashion of 1970's cartoons.

However, the show has very obvious undertones of complex relationships that go beyond your typical children's show. These undertones are what makes the show compelling, but they disturb me in two main ways.

First, the show infantilizes all of its male characters, while depicting most of its female characters as ultra-competent, ultra-intelligent demigods. I think that presenting a show to CHILDREN in this format continues a dangerous trend in children's entertainment towards promoting an extreme ultra-feminist agenda.

Second, the show makes thinly-veiled hints at sexuality and non-traditional relationships, which comprises the true essence of the series. While I have no problem with this content, and have said above that I find it compelling, I find its presentation to be troubling.

The show maintains a very 1970's feel and its marketing is aimed at younger children (In fact, the first few times I saw the show, I believed it was a rerun of a 40-year-old series intended as filler for parents of young children in a dead mid-day programming slot). I believe this is an attempt to get past the guard of parents with conservative or religious values to influence children in a very propagandistic manner.

Make no mistake, this show's subtext is far more mature than either its marketing or animation style suggests. The number of intimate love triangles that have existed among the core characters is impressive. The imagery used to convey this can even be quite sexualized. In one episode, one of the heroines pines over the loss of her fellow heroine, searching out her "sword" and claiming that nothing fills the "scabbard" quite like it. The description of the sword continues, using features that can be metaphorically linked to veins on a certain male appendage, as well as a rose (which has an analog so obvious I won't go further).

I just don't like the fact that this type of material is disingenuously presented to young children in a format more suited to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles than thinly-veiled lesbian melodrama.

Sad that IMDB doesn't allow comments on reviews, cause some of the arguing (since nobody on the internet can stand to have someone not like what they like) might've been fun to read.

Do they really votebomb IMBD now?

Well it's a rabid fandom full of autism so you do the math on that one.

Well if they send fake bad reviews to a motel that happened to be in the show, then I doubt they'll leave IMDb alone.

You'd think this would be very triggering to them since Superman is representative of ~archaic, chauvinistic and heteronormative conceptions of heroism and masculinity~. Then again maybe they think Clark Kent is a fellow mentally ill Xeno-kin.
