Steven Universe fandom (Gemtlemen)

[Accel_Rider]

From cuteosphere, but applies more here. You know that the primary audience for the cartoon to relate to is supposed to be children, right? Again, somehow a character that is nothing but a total stereotype created by white people is the best representation and not a funny punchline. Right.

Ah, good old "coded black". Can't talk about Garnet without that.

so after a few weeks in the med my skin is sadly a shade darker, the same can not be said for tumblr's gemsonas...

while we wait for my latest half assed recolours to get noticed here's some lingering angst over my 24 hours of whitewashing two weeks ago:

Spoiler

strangely though i seem to have lost my ability to reblog :S tumblr is a fucking atrocious mess of a site
EDIT:

Spoiler: some more

"I believe no one should be judged on color, but I don't want any white friends and have suppressed them from my life"
The cognitive dissonance is so strong in this one that she managed to contradict herself in 20 words.

That's a lot of salt.

"You're transphobic if you don't agree with me!"

The chimpouts in this fandom are pretty great.

Again, what's with the hypocrisy of that crossover character doing the same "lol, man in a dress isn't normal" joke being the worst thing ever but when the main character does the same thing he's trans?

Because he's from a cartoon that Tumblrites hate. Ergo it's problematic.

"Literally everything about his narrative can be interpreted as a young trans girl's personal journey..."

I haven't watched much of the show, but I've never seen Steven express any sort of discomfort with being a dude, which last I checked is a pretty important part of being trans.

Do the space rocks ever act in a way that suggests they're black?

According to Tumblr, you don't need to be uncomfortable with being a dude to be transgender. Just ask Sophie LaBelle.

I believe one of them is sassy. Another might have expressed a liking for chicken.

I think one of them also talked about how much they loved watermelon, too.

KOTH confirmed more progressive

 

[Bisharp]

Well... This is a thing.

 

[Steamboat_Bill]

Well... This is a thing.

Frankly, it's not surprising that it is a thing. On the Internet, anything can be a thing.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Well... This is a thing.

Yeah and?

It's stupid, but by this point, much worse has been seen on the internet.

 

[Gensdupays]

Well... This is a thing.

Christ, it's actually a thing. It's not just the one blog.

 

[Bokrug's Basement]

The best type of SU fans are the ones that think they are the cartoon space rocks.

 

[Scratch This Nut]

Well... This is a thing.

This is actually one of the tamest things to come out of the fandom sadly.

What is that even supposed to mean by host's name anyways?

 

[Gensdupays]

Jesus.

H.

Christ.

Why is this acceptable?
