they look like girls so they're addressed as girls, but in reality their species doesn't have different lovees
yes?
as far as the viewer is concerned, yes. ofc not all gems look traditionally feminine, like topaz, but steven universe exists in a universe where everyone magically knows how to refer to everyone through TV magic. for instance, stevonnie uses they/them pronouns (which makes sense since they're a fusion between a human male and female) and somehow everyone just knows that, even without knowledge that they're a fusion, even though they definitely look very
hot feminine. it's just convenient for the viewers and makes things faster and avoids awkward scenes where people make casual conversation about what to call each other. sometimes you just gotta accept that some things are just the way they are because it makes it work better as an entertainment piece
yeah fair enough, though i feel like them speaking english is moreso just for viewer convenience
ya it definitely is
