🔥Steven universe

OH MAN THIS IS THE ONE I HAVE TO START WITH

My unpopular opinion is that Steven Universe… is a cartoon. It is a cartoon that sometimes pushes boundaries and does some good, but it’s just a cartoon, it’s not the holy grail of television/lgbt rights/whatever and it’s not some demonic hell show sinisterly promoting ~problematic~ ~toxic~ ideals. 

it’s a cartoon. it’s important to people (including me!), but it is not and cannot be perfect, and taking it so seriously is just… off putting.  (I don’t mean seriously as in theorizing or analyzing or even critiquing, I mean casting moral aspirations on people who respond/react to things certain ways, or expecting the show to align with the exact minutia of your beliefs and ideals. )
