If you want to completely remove such "personal adjustments", you basically have to use Incognito Mode or at least log out.
Something I just thought of regarding the "why were there warrior castes before Rose Quartz' rebellion"... I did think of one thing that could go in all sorts of different directions.
Namely, there are more than four colors of diamonds in real life. What if there was a different Diamond Authority, led by Purple, Brown, Red, and Grey Diamond? It does kind of monkey wrench a whole lot, yes, but it would fit.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.I mean, I don't think it's implausible that they've had to fight other races to gain control of their planets - I don't really get the impression that humans are the first intelligent lifeforms that Gems have encountered (although I do think they were probably the first Rose encountered).
Oh God! Natural light!There is that too. Of course, it could also be a "We have always been at war with Eurasia" scenario - there might not even be another power, but the pretense of one is propped up to ensure the populace stays in line with the desires of the leaders.

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.That's an interesting idea...
...Another explanation might be that the Gems were eventually created for a reason that has long since been forgotten, and now they're just doing what they've always done, as it's all they've ever known.
Oh God! Natural light!Youtube's recommendation algorithms are fucked anyway. Sometimes watching random fanmade videos about a work will get me tons of recommendations to "anti-SJ Ws" ranting about how said work is horrible and evil instead of more fan stuff.
They had to be conquering worlds since near their inception...and that means they can't have been around too long with how advanced the tech is.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Which doesn't really mean much. Technology does not advance in a linear fashion (it is very unlikely that another intelligent species also took 200,000 years to get "this far" they could have taken a much shorter, or much larger, amount of time. Or not at all, remaining as a hunter-gather species for their entire span of existence until they go extinct, even with human intelligence). It all depends on the environment, species that can be domesticated, ect.), and there is no reason to assume gem technology develops slowly in any fashion.
Gems could have been a space-faring culture since their creation by another space-faring culture.

But a comparison to human history is completely irrelevant—gems as we know them have explicitly been under a single, Diamond-controlled regime since they came into existence because (barring some unprecedented coverup) the non-Diamond gems as a race were created artificially.

I wonder if there are Gem libraries
When you live so long and know your purpose since birth, you may not need a large collection of written word
They have science data and such like on Peridot's finger screen though
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThat would be a pretty cool place to find in the universe, though the Diamonds being what they are, they'd repress any information that doesn't portray them as gods to their population. If one was around, it'd have to be a very ancient place indeed to escape their notice. I do think the question of how the Diamonds got their power at least will be answered, or implied.
I think there'd have to be a preliminary episode before a Gem Library could really prove useful. We know, from the attempt to heal Centipeedle, that there was a written gem language, but Steven obviously doesn't know it (but Pearl does, and apparently has no desire to teach it to Steven). If we wanted to see Steven (and Connie, who would be all over it) explore a gem library, they'd have to learn the gem language, first.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.The gems do seem to keep Steven in the dark a lot of the time,which understandable because they want him to understand as he gets older,but there are things that they should not have kept from him,like Rose shattering Pink Diamond,the fact they are incredibly nervous whenever pink diamond is so much as mentioned tells me there are lot other secrets they are concealing are from him,and that could really breed resentment.
As for Perl not wanting to teach Steven the gem script,could be because it's incredibly hard or,they don't want him to find out too much from any gem texts he stumbles across
As for gem libraries?Chances are they are in well guarded locations on Homeworld

have a listen and have a link to my discord server

Yeah I watched the video's that Adric's talking about. It's just a guy giving a negative review of the show and also responding to negative comments. Not sure why it's getting attention now.
