Ronaldo continues to be obnoxious. Also, the marketing for this episode was just plain stupid and inflammatory. I mean, who thought it was a good idea to advertise a new gem (which people love seeing, look at the ratings for That Will Be All and Bismuth) and then have it be Ronaldo's gemsona (Nearly everyone hates Ronaldo)? Fans just feel cheated.

It seemed pretty obvious to me that it was going to be Ronaldo's gemsona. There was no way they'd introduce a new gem in a Ronaldo episode.

I dunno, I saw a lot of serious online hype for the new gem. So you've got people pissed off about more Ronaldo episodes, people pissed off that there's no new gem, otherkin pissed off by the episode (I mean I'm not a fan of otherkin and don't understand it but it seems rude to take potshots at them), while male elements pissed off by the episode thinking that it's some kind of potshot at them, and probably Zuke haters pissed off too just because she hasn't been fired (I don't find this view reasonable but it probably exists so I'm mentioning it).

Yikes.

Oh wait.

I heard about the "new Gem" promotion. ... so it was just Ronaldo pretending?

Wow. That is uncalled for.

Yeah, I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to be miffed at the advertising staff on that one. I seem to remember people saying they were only going to watch the Ronaldo episode due to the "new gem" being advertised, so...

Personally, I considered the episode decent. But I've never had much of an issue with Ronaldo anyway.

I still want a Nanefua episode. Or just an episode about the Cool Kids. Or the Pizzas as a whole.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

What about a episode where we see what Garnet really gets up whenever she goes on one of her solo missions

I would be happy if we never saw Andy again. I'm hoping for another Onion episode, or a Nanafue episode. Mystery Girl getting actual development would be nice.

We're likely going to get a Mystery Girl episode very soon.

Considering when Andy first appeared was during a particularly heated time in American politics, I can't blame anyone for disliking him. Hell, being voiced by Carl aside, I don't even like him too much. He reminds me of the more conservative side of my family.

When one side of the aisle's entire platform is refusing to recognize the human rights of gay or non white people it gets pretty hard to set aside differences or come to an understanding.

Oh really when?

I dislike Andy because his entire episode hammered in the fact that I have family who refuse to recognize my sexuality and gender. As a result, I heavily dislike him as a character. He's one of those realistic characters who are are easier to hate than fantastic bigots.

To a lot of people, it seemed to be a call to come together. Whether or not people tried that, it became So. Much. Worse. Reminds me of a criticism for Zootopia I've heard: coming together and accepting change is good... But sometimes people are just hateful garbage-people.
