How could it have not been mostly Lapizuli? The Peridot gem in almost all of their appearances seems like she's only ever trying to avoid setting her off and making her happy.
Rightfully so, of course.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Because you are suggesting that Jasper had no involvement in that when she literally had authority over Peridot.
Because Lapis was not even aware that Peridot was doing that.
EDIT: Also, see above. Peridot started their relationship by imprisoning and interrogating her.

So then it's no one's fault, good.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Honestly, it sounds a bit like you're trying to whitewash Lapis here. Peridot's actions on the space ship really have nothing to do with their barn life together.
If I beat someone up one time, and we reconcile later, and they start emotionally abusing me (or something along those lines) that doesn't somehow make us "even" or that person not accountable for their abuses. The transgressions don't cancel out one another.

Less actual abuse and more like not really trying...
Up until the end anyway...

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I don't agree that :Lapis was abusing Peridot at all. Peridot was just reacting to Lapis badly and thus harming herself. In addition, Lapis's past with Peridot made Peridot's mere presence harmful to Lapis as well.
EDIT:
We saw Jasper with our own eyes. Lapis's testimony is unnecessary.

That was quite clear...but further posting is always intentional.

Let me ask you this: If I shot someone because I'm really angry and want to take my anger out on something, and then it turns out that the person was a serial child molester and murder, does that retroactively justify my actions?
Who Lapis actually blames is incredibly relevant, because if she doesn't hold Jasper responsible for those things, but is still lashing out at her because she wants to vent her anger and Jasper was the easiest target. That you, personally, hold Jasper responsible, frankly means less than nothing to the character's actual actions and motivations, or the justifications of them.

I'm saying she does hold Jasper accountable for those things. She just hasn't mentioned that as it wasn't relevant.
You know...if certain threads of discussion leads to "where's the proof something is true" and "where's the proof it isn't true" it's best to not continue down that road.
And continue on the stuff that isn't based on pure random guessing.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.The characters' words support my hypothesis. They make less sense in light of the alternative hypothesis. As for how they feel, we can't tell that except to guess based on the clues we're given. And the clues we're given support my hypothesis and not the alternative hypothesis.
EDIT: I mean, we have people blaming Lapis for treating Jasper as if Jasper responsible. So. The facts are:
1. Lapis treats Jasper as though Japser is responsible.
2. Jasper actually is responsible.
I think "Lapis considers Jasper responsible" is a more reasonable conclusion than, "Lapis incorrectly believes Jasper is not responsible but has decided to treat her as responsible anyway". Occam's Razor supports my hypothesis.

At no point does Lapis ever say she holds Jasper accountable for imprisoning her. She only ever mentions Peridot.
Also at no point is it ever mentioned that Jasper is actually in charge. If anything there's more evidence that she wasn't and that she was just assigned to Peridot as her escort.
The problem with that is neither 1 or 2 are actually true.
Where does Lapis say she holds Jasper responsible and where is it said that Jasper is responsible?

Oh really when?

I mean, even Lapis herself in the show outright says it was Peridot who imprisoned her and interrogated her.
Not really whitewashing if it's explicitly laid out in the show about who did what and why.
