OK, good point, but if one were to find Amazon Island, they probably shouldn't explain to them what's a male trough Optimus Prime toys and Beast Wars episodes.
Yeah pretty much, now I doubt gem think themselves as lesbian because that is just a silly thing with the hairless monkey deem important
But the diferent between gems and human show to time to time, they way I see is like combination of the eldar(artistic,prone to superiority complex, dismisive,etc) and straw vulcan(value logic over emotion, tend to be cold in general and have tendecy of being insensitive) this color they interation a lot
In fact, I consider the main conflict in "Too many birthdays" being pretty much cultural clash that anything else(well that and Steven rushing judgement as ever)
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Luckily for you Sapphy was just confirmed to have legs.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I used the outfit she was wearing in Hit the Diamond for reference.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.You mean the length?
Because Ruby's pretty thick.

I'm sure that this has been posted before, but today I found my new favorite Steven Universe video here.
I do wonder why Pearl's mistakes often get a Never Live It Down treatment, while Amethyst's more malicious behavior gets overlooked. Don't get me wrong, I like and understand Amethyst but when she's mean she's outright cruel.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Pearl doesn't hate hewmans, she's just really condescending...because hewmans suck and that's a true fact.
Openly condescending...

I think you mean...[Insert "intelligent" Animal Here]
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Yeah cattle's a bit much. They acknowledge humans are sentient, just by their nature far less experienced than they are.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.With Pearl and Amathys is very simple: we have more episode of her being "wrong" that Amathys, Pearl episode have her learing something while Amathys usually end with her being pitty, also Amathys is look like adolecene while Pearl is see as an adult(I know it sound meanless with +7000 gems but anyway)
In fact I have the oposite opinon that the rest of the fandom: I think Pearl really need therapy and start seen her obssesion with Rose while honest, is just unhealthy and at the same time I want punch Amathys in the face for what it did to Greg, that was fucking low punch, really
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"It's a good thing Peridot turned out to be ultimately as likable and harmless as the fans kept projecting. If she'd stayed a villain or hadn't received as good an arc as she did, the dissonance might've really made her a Base Breaker. Even then it wasn't until midway through her arc that we were given proof she can change for the better.
I'm glad that comic made her doing it again didn't ruin any positive points for Amethyst.
You'd think she have better manipulation skills. They'd go well with her shape shifting.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.about gem view of mankind, Homeworld see earth as playground and mankind as bugs, something you eradicate to make things better for you
CG have typical Elves/Vulcan view of man: Amathyst sort of like them because she is from earth,Garnet dosent really give a damn(or dosent voice her displesure by her being stoic) and Pearl is the most condesending
you could also said CG are like the typical first world actitud toward third world country, at least that is how I saw Rose behivor until being call out by Greg.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"If and when we see Homeworld, I hope they don't show it as some kind of dystopia built upon oppression like people seem to be expecting it will be.
That is, Homeworld should be obviously draconian from an outside perspective, but considered perfectly fine and beneficial by everyone within it. In fact, I like the idea of it being a seemingly perfect society with everyone happy with their lot in life, until the Gems and Steven show up and start making chinks in the Homeworlders' perceptions of their world.

Pearl doesn't hate humans. From the extended theme song "we were amazed to find/your beauty and your worth." She even uses human concepts (such as knighthood) to motivate herself and train Connie.
Her condescending nature towards humans is a combination of lack of understanding, difficulty speaking towards them, and a lack of respect. You can find something wonderful and fascinating, and worthy of protection, while still not respecting it. Besides Pearl has a tendency to sound condescending towards everything.

In a techincal sense you are right, just like in a techinical sense Optimus is not male because he is space machine or how and alien civilization look a lot like romans,jews or whatever, in techincal sense they not that way but in storytelling sense are code in that way to make thing easier to the reader, for the show being aliens matter very little: the crew refer them as gay,the show treat them as gay so in short, they are gay.
But if you want to be pedant(because, why not?) you could said they are gem equivalent of gay which serve ether way, granted this open more intersting question here: lets said Steven and connie become a couple, they will fused everytime they date or feel conect to each other? they will have human made marrige or will be perma fusion like Garnet? can Steven even have kids like regular human or he will suffer the same destiny as her mother?
The best answer I can said is that when a show become more about the message it lose quality as the show have to bend over the message or become narmy and anvilious as many green-aseop movie or series the 90 spawn show well.
The fact this show manage to mantain good storylines while mantain a inclusive message is statement to writers hability
Edit: a pagge toper? damn.
