I think the problem that they have in juggling the real life prejudice against some of the themes is that there's a definite difference in dynamic based on what gems are - super-powerful magical warriors that can ignore whatever they want from humanity. It's a lot easier for the gems to deal with Andy's ranting, because that's all he really can do to them, push comes to shove (I mean, seriously, even if he did get pissy and tried to evict Peri and Lapis, how the hell does he think he's going to do that, even if the two don't pull out their ferrokinesis/hydrokinesis). Similarly, with Ronaldo, the most he can do negatively is whine about the Crystal Gems. In real life, though? People quite rightly fear for their jobs, their homes, their loved ones, and most importantly their lives when dealing with that kind of attitude.
Pushing for understanding is way easier when one party isn't desperately afraid that the other is going to ruin their life.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.I'm not really seeing how Rocknaldo was a potshot at otherkin so much as people who have Chuunibyou or take roleplaying too seriously. Otherkin literally think they're fictional characters reborn, sometimes to the point of telling people to stop sharing or making things of certain characters because they think those people are portraying "themselves" incorrectly. Those people usually need genuine psychological help, and the show was not making fun of those kinds of people.
I don't think it was meant to be insulting to otherkin, but an otherkin could be offended if they took Ronaldo as being mistreated because he's kin. Which I don't personally think is the point but I see why it could happen.
Oissu!I still think people drastically exaggerate the negative aspects of some characters. Andy never even pushed any conservative issues. He was just surprised a lot. To be clear, on the one issue he did blow up about, taking out the engine of his childhood plane and turning it into an oven, I'm on his side there, that's just a gutpunch to the childhood. Andy never once enforced any outright bigoted viewpoints.
> Andy is clearly portrayed as the conservative uncle who may be a pedo (Cracked dixit) thorugh the episode.
There is absolutely no such evidence of this and I re watched the episode
If that was your attempt at being funny I suggest working on your humour material.
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverActually, the joke was "if you want to see male gem, you can see Age of Ultron" because Vision....pretty cleaver joke actually.
Andy didnt expose conservative values but IT show the personality, being upset Greg change is name, that he didnt marry and many other thing "tradicional" and calling the gem hippies is a cliche of conservative in shows.
But I dont think he is a bad character and to be fair, the gem at times dosent act very diferent: Pearl act dismissive toward amathyst in the first season, Garnet seen unconcern about the damage she prove in fights and Amathyst did the shapeshifting thing in from of Greg which is REALLY uncalled for, they come from a conservative society and it show, not matter how much space rocks they are.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"No it wasnt, Matt Burnett went something along the lines of "If you want a dudebro show watch Avengers Assemble". I love Steven Universe and Im on their side, but dont sugarcoat or deny the dickishness the crew displays sometimes.
Rebecca Sugar has never said such things. I love her.
I also ask Beatman 1 to calm down. You are being quite hystrionic. Even more so than the fandom extremists you hate.
