She has no obvious inner-turmoil.

I think Friend Ship showed that she definitely thinks she does.

The whole point of Keystone Motel & Friendship is to show that she's constantly dealing with inner-turmoil, but she makes it work despite that. I call nonsense.

[up] I mean, in Keystone Motel, she wasn't able to hold herself together because of Ruby & Sapphire arguing. Then in Keep It Together, she nearly unfuses because of the fusion-zombies, making Ruby/Sapphire feel like they were the ones responsible.. I think that if she was (still) dealing with extreme emotional torment, there wouldn't be a lot of Garnet in the first place.

[up][up][up]No, it doesn't.

Ruby and Sapphire only felt that because they WERE BETRAYED BY PEARL. Its unlikely that they are like that 24/7.

Also judging characters by their backstory is fucking stupid, stupid, stupid.

[up][up][up] Aside from the Sardonyx fiasco. It showed she was putting aside her problems to be a leader and keep the group together. Keystone Motel was where all of it came to a head.

[up][up]Too bad the only time we've seen her split up from the stress of leadership is when pearl betrayed her.Also, wow, good job ignoring the fact that you "Hurt an person emotionally."

[up]The guy without an avatar claimed that amethyst was boring because her "Back story wasn't as interesting", completely ignoring that her personal problems are actually really realistic and something that alot of real life people have compared to Pearl and Garnet. that includes me.

I actually kind of love how my opinion of Garnet did a complete 180 as I watched the series. At the start, I hated her for being an aggravatingly perfect Ace. But after learning more and more about her history and insecurities, she might actually be my favorite character in the show.

I still think she's a hypocrite for telling Jamie that love at first sight doesn't exist, when her very existence is proof that it does.

[up] Except that it was less "Love at first sight" and more "Accidental taboo fusion of souls followed by banishment together on a wild and ungoverned planet for who-knows-how-long and are able to talk about what happened and their feelings towards it an each other".

But, y'know. technicalities.

Being a leader is stressful regardless. It's not about her splitting.

and this is what I'm talking about

It's not easy being in control. I have weaknesses too. But I choose not to let them consume me. I struggle to stay strong because I know the impact I have on everyone.
She's constantly under pressure, because she's a leader, and she can't share when she's pressured, because if she did the group would fall apart and everyone would freak out. It's not always fusion-splitting pressure. (doy). But it's still a lot of stress.

Also yes, I'm ignoring you obviously, because I don't want to derail the thread. If you have a problem with me take it to PM"s. But to be clear I was never talking about any person. I was talking about my opinion about Amethyst. Saying I'm disinterested in a fictional character is not the same thing as saying it about real people.

"He even used the term First World Problems. THAT'S OFFENSIVE."

Ehh, that term is rather annoying, but I don't see how it would be considered offensive.

[up][up]Because Amethyst's feelings of inferiority and borderline depression are being compared to shit like "I left home without a charger."

@randomness4, First World Problems is literally about comparing little petty issues we have with our modern, technological society to the problems people have because they don't... have running water and stuff like that. So no, that was not an exaggeration.

Though it should be noted that people can be starving half to death with lice in their hair and still find the time to complain about how terrible their cell phone coverage is.

First world problems are still problems. The fact that people with worse problems exist doesn't mean I can't complain about my phone running out while I don't have a book and my crippling social awkwardness makes talking to people the OPPOSITE of fun.

Just think of it in The Sims 3 terms. An empty fun gauge won't make you die, pass out or piss yourself, but it still puts a shitty negative moodlet on you.
