What the fuck level of cult of personality even is this? They’re writing fan fic about their fucking overlords. What the fuck I cannot emphasize enough what the fuck?

    putting Steven universe in the same message as Harry Potter and west wing is horrific, did the show getting cut short really fuck up people’s reading of it that much? the authors apparently Word of God said that the genocidal dictators were never meant to be “forgiven”

      The writing was fucked up, not the reading. It’s good, but the last portion of the series dropped the ball with the theme.

          It was pretty rushed and so they didn’t really have the diamonds take responsibility for the lives they destroyed for their empire. It was more focused on the family issues.

          The diamonds weren’t forgiven so much as had their records expunged so they could sing songs for the movie.

          It was never realistic, but there was a distinct lack of average gems confronting the diamonds for their actions. The diamonds work to restore damage, but they can only do so much given the massive violence inflicted with thousands of years of imperialism on a galactic scale.
