| 1 | * CriticalDissonance: Many review websites praised the episode for its message about problematic allyships in minority groups. However, many fans disliked the episode for its {{Anvilicious}} delivery, and not being a very fun or enjoyable episode to watch. |
| 2 | * DontShootTheMessage: Controversies aside, the episode still has some important morals, like "Don't act like you have authority over a group you don't belong to" and "You shouldn't support something just to boost your own ego." Most importantly, it shows that people who are willing to overcome bigoted tendencies still can't change overnight, and while some never do, other just progress slowly. |
| 3 | * FanonDiscontinuity: Many fans wish this episode never happened. Largely due to Ronaldo being even more obnoxious than usual, nothing of substance happening and all of the interesting plots being wasted. Plenty of veteran fans outright advise newcomers to just skip this episode, as to not waste their time with it. |
| 4 | * IKnewIt: A teaser was released of a potential new Gem for this episode. Fans guessed it was a BaitAndSwitch and there wouldn't actually be a new Gem introduced, with most saying that it would just be Ronaldo's Gemsona. Much to the fans' dismay, that's ''exactly'' what happened. Similarly, most correctly guessed that it was a Bloodstone. |
| 5 | * MemeticMutation: This [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/47d64c2b6ae6300b0d4a8f8ca414e117/tumblr_inline_olwvv52FaQ1sd1juf_1280.png face]] that Pearl made quickly became a popular reaction image, particularly among people who use it as their reaction to the episode itself. |
| 6 | * TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Ronaldo realizes that he's misjudged the Crystal Gems and decides to join them so that he can truly understand and help their cause. But when the Gems go on a mission, they don't allow Ronaldo to join for fear of him becoming TheLoad, which leads to him spending the whole episode acting like {{Jerkass}} to Steven, which leads to Steven [[WhatTheHellHero calling him out]]. While the Gems' decision was understandable, and he still learned something by the end, not allowing him to come effectively squandered a golden opportunity for Ronaldo to see what the Gems do first hand, gain deeper respect for them, and allow for positive CharacterDevelopment for him. It also could have allowed the episode to incorporate action while also giving the show an equally viable means of showcasing the Gem that was hyped in marketing but turned out to be Ronaldo's Gemsona. |
