yeah i don't think i've seen very many people at all get mad over steven universe
remember that time that artist got attacked irl for drawing SU characters with slightly lighter skin
remember that time people got extremely angry when people shipped pearl with a man because many fans believe she's gay and as we all know, a belief is the absolute truth
remember that time
this amazing moment happened
remember that time one of the show's creators told the fanbase to stop being cunts about stupid stuff & then they got these responses:



remember that time that fan artist attempted to kill herself after people endlessly harassed her for drawing SU characters slightly skinnier than they are in the show
remember that time when a part of the SU fandom had this as their response to that event:




there is a reason why so many people call it the worst fandom of all time. these people are the vocal minority, but the amount of damage they have done is inexcusable. telling people to kill themselves over fanart, telling people that they deserve to die because they cosplay characters that don't share their skin color (but they're purple so no one in the world shares their skin color...) and i think at one point they drove an SU writer off of tumblr too, because they were outraged at some minor inconsistency
being in this fandom is like living in a totalitarian dictatorship. these people want complete control of what everyone thinks, makes, writes, etc. it's sickening
it's still a mystery to me how a cute, happy show like steven universe with all of its positive messages & good vibes could possibly have attracted such a crowd of genuine monsters, but this is just how it is.
SU is the worst fandom. they have proven it time and time again and will probably continue to do so for many more years
