Steven Universe Discussion - Tumblr Posts

Adding on to a previous post since I feel it's more appropriate to explain here. Warning it gets ranty

I feel a lot of people would miss these "this character is xyz" tweets and live streams. I mean Peridot having little to no sexual/romantic attraction didn't even cross my mind as a young kid or even when I got older. Her being aroace had to be pointed at to me by other YouTubers since I didn't have Twitter (not calling it "X") to see the tweet or the book alluding to her to be aroace. Also because her being aroace wouldn't automatically block off from fusion, since fusion represents varying relationships like toxic relationships, romantic, sexual, polyamorous, monogamous, platonic, and familial relationships. It seems weird to imply Peridot can't have strong platonic and familial just because she's aroace. That's an unfortunate stereotype that the Crewniverse fell into.

Also I won't even get into how Alastor's asexual/aroace identity was vaguely referenced by a joke that was very easy to miss.

Go watch this good video by The Ace Couple

And Octavia hardly contributed to Helluva Boss due to her being overshadowed by her neglectful father that sexually coercived a person with a poor education and a daughter, employees, and himself to financially provide for. I'll keep bringing up how terrible of a character Stolas is any chance I get lol But again a character being ace and or aro is an afterthought even to queer creators, but characters like Angel Dust, Fizz, Blitzø, Ozzie, and Stolas can mention how gay they are. There's nothing inherently wrong with sexual humor it is just that the writers of Hazbin and Helluva think overusing it is funny.

Full Moon was so bad for this 😭 Like making fun of sex toys by having the Cherubs think there torture devices isn't that funny and since they're intentionally or not making fun of people who use them. Like making fun of sex toys and BDSM is hardly funny anymore and really wasn't before at least in the ways some people did it so childishly. The people that participate in those things already get stigmatized enough, why is the show using it as a punchline??

It's just weird and kinda fetishy that the writers depict the prominent gay male characters in the show as extremely sexual people, while asexuals and aromantics can't even mention their orientation. The show uses the word gay or other similar words a good amount of times but only says ace ONCE in Hazbin Hotel that could easily go over someone's head. If people have to go looking for evidence and confirmation outside the show proper then that's not what I'd call good representation. What if platforms get taken down or the posts get removed for whatever reason, then that PROOF of the characters sexuality is gone.

Point is add more characters that are explicitly or heavily implied to be ace and or aro. This shouldn't be hard to make diverse characters important that are also their own person while not ignoring their sexual and romantic orientation. If a character can say they're gay/lesbian/bisexual etc. and like sex with pride, then why can't an ace/aro character.

So, I heard that the Steven Universe the movie is getting a Cinema release in America. *CUE SAD BRTISH SOUNDS*

Which is very exciting but I found out something weird in the description.

WHERE IN THE MOVIE WAS THERE ANY SEXUAL SITUATIONS/DIALOUGE?!!!!

I don't remember any sexual stuff in the movie at all. Due to this movie being for kids.

Anyone who has seen the movie, please discuss with me if you remember anything sexual.

Thank you.

So, WE all heard the news that Steven Universe Furture is ending on March 27th

And I know we all sad but I just want to say something real quick.

I'm a bit worried with the number of episodes that are left for SUF. All I want, is for Steven Universe Furture is to have a good well-thought out ending that we can all look on dearly not a rushed bad one. I'm saying this because there is some thing that has not been resolved yet such as Steven Pink Power, Steven's loneliness, his conflicted feelings about his mother, his sense of purpose, Jasper?, Spinel, The Diamonds, the open treasure chest and the two antagonists in the beginning card. How the Crewiverse needs to finish all those elements in 10 episodes? They pretty much, wrote themselves into a corner that they need to tie into a lovely bow. Hopefully they can deliver a GREAT ENDING FOR YEARS TO COME!!!

I love to have a discussion in the comments if anyone has the time. Thank you.
