Morals don't fall flat...
An unenjoyable episode just makes ya not care.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I thought this episode was fine, really.
What does piss me off is that apparently an episode telling fans not to be assholes is making fans act like assholes.
Because that is the state of this fucking fandom, apparently.
Oh God! Natural light!Every fandom has its negative elements, the bigger it is the more angry fans can shout in an echo chamber. That's basically it.
I've seen a lot of great stuff the fandom has to offer, and for the vast majority, especially those of an LGBT lifestyle, it's resonated strongly.
Don't let a bunch of jerks spoil it.
That's why I stick away from art, posts, or reviews that raise my warning flags. They aren't worth my energy and emotional investment.
They can...officially retire Ronald if you'd like, he's served a good term, but maybe it's time for a new lunatic with semi-decent social skills.
Ronald can run away to be with his new family: the bus stop.

Yeah, I know. I'm just ranting.

I mean, that's fine. But from what I'm hearing (which is admittedly little and secondhand), you'd think that Rebecca Sugar killed these people's dogs or something.

Oh God! Natural light!I admit when I realized that this is a Ronaldo episode my reaction, "Oh wow what's he gonna do now." in a worried tone.
I was vindicated when he said he was gonna join the CG's. I was cringing at the stuff he was doing & couldn't watch most of the episode. I felt so bad for Steven cause Ronaldo was acting like such a jackass.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Episode would have been improved with Connie beating Ronaldo's ass. That's all I'm saying.
My various fanfics.But accidentally hurting her teammate Jeff-style really would make Connie seem less trustworthy.

I find it hard to disagree with that.

Oh God! Natural light!Hell, she doesn't even have to hurt him. Just break his shit-ass convention prop sword by staring at it real hard would probably reduce Ronaldo into a blubbering pile whining about how he was being oppressed.
My various fanfics.Breaking props is illegal...and rude.
Amethyst has been positive this episode...

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Unless he actually tried to spar with it, then it'd be his fault for acting like it wasn't just a piece of plastic.

That seems like a terrible idea, whether or not it happens to be true.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I half expected Steven to ask if he thought he didn't need to eat either.
Even then, the GIFT is an intrinsic part of that incident, while Ronaldo spent most of this episode interacting in person and doesn't even try to hide his identity online in the first place.

"If you wanted to see Pearl at her worst, then it was entirely necessary... "
problem is, we already seen worst Pearl: we see her trying to fly a spaceship that almost kill Steven because of that, yelling at everyone because she know Rose btter than anyone, trigging one of the few berserket buttons garnet have by taking advantage of fusion(which consider it represent relationships can be seen from cheating, abusing or even rape if you super cynic), being mean to Amathys over and over and the list go on, do we REALLY need another worst pearl moment? specially one is kinda creepy as trying to pulling steven gem?
Yeah, I dont think so.
"Honestly Worst Pearl was when she let Steven apparently fall to his death and just glared at him."
actually, that is the botton line for worst Pearl, from that she go up(which a few moment here and there) that is when she improved.
"They really need to adress what kind of relationship Rose and Pearl had. I only hope they will not play the Shayamalayan twest card. "
they kinda will, after all, they cant define the relationship without lay out Pearl past, I feel only after that we will see the Mystery girl again.
"this episode isn't 'cringey' in any way, shape, or form"
the premise itself IS cringeyy, since Ronaldo move from "Rock people are evil" to "I WILL BE A GEM" between one moment to another, that is just....weird.
"The hatred towards Ronaldo - and Andy - makes me consider the pitfalls of discussing social issues using fantastic elements."
Not really, is just that Ronaldo and Lars BARELY have any devolpment at all: Lars is a jerkass that nobody likes except Sadie who also have a pretty damn weird(and somewhat toxic) relationships while Ronaldo move from being a jerkass to being fall into is ass,the show never it dosent move beyond them like it did with Kevin that but neither let them improve.
In fact what you can consider double standar is how the show give nanuce to two space conqueror or an abuser like Jasper over gag chararters who somehow keep getting episode dedicate to them.

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"
I think Peridot and Lapis could be the best for him: the first is as nerotic as him while the second just dosent give a shit.
Also, while this episode is annoying for me nothing beat the one were he take steve because he have a lizard costume, that was...unconfortable to watch.
