#i had no clue that that lauren zuke lady did something that everyone was up in arms about??

what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

no but HOW THE FUCK did they even manage to make the show without showing a sign of this, if this is how they really feel??

i remember how damn uncomfortable I felt at the garnet and amethyst fusion episode back when it first happened, cos it seemed kinda unfortunate and cringy that it was saying that... like... two dark-skinned ladies fuse and their fusion has anger issues even though neither of them had been shown to have anger issues on their own. And she’s like the personification of physical strength and beastial nature and she turns evil for no reason, and then their white teammate has to save the day and prove she’s stronger than them ‘in the real way’ and then they apologise for even daring to fuse. And like.. that only became less uncomfortable when it got put in context, yknow? it was awkward cos it happened so early on in the show before we’d had any other representation to constrast it. By now we’ve seen more development of amethyst and garnet, we’ve seen pearl have more flaws, and we’ve seen other fusions go out of control and stuff. And there’s been more characters of different races with positive depictions and just... seriously HOW does this bullshit actually exist?? I THOUGHT YOU WERE FUCKING BETTER THAN THIS! And there is NO WAY that I’m gonna forgive this bullshit just cos the show is mostly good to me personally. Its so horrible what this represents, cos probably if we cause a fuss about it, it might mean the end of a really promising show that had a lot of LGBTQ representation, and blablabla WHATEVER, I am not gonna be stanning for something like that, as if you’re allowed to be fucking racist if you do enough good things to other people to balance it out! What the fuck! God! But seriously I’m SO PISSED because I DID NOT HATE THE SHOW! Su critical people are probably happy to have a genuine controversy come up so they’re all proven right, but mannnn i wasnt bothered by any of the animation errors and i dont dislike the changes in story direction and i dont dislike the episodes about the regular beach city humans and i dont think Topaz’s design is bad and i didnt agree with ANY OF IT and i STILL REALLY ENJOYED THE SHOW and just... GAHH! fuck, like this has stained every one of my memories, every single good moment in the fucking show, all the time i was just fucking like.. misinterpreting the intentions of a bunch of assholes i cant even enjoy garnet’s triumphant moments and stuff cos i’m gonna keep thinking about how apparantly at least one person on this team is a racist fucker and garnet only ended up being awesome on accident, and god they might have been THINKING THESE FUCKING THINGS ABOUT HER

fuck fuck fuck god seriously its fucked up but i kinda wish this ‘mistake’ could have been in the show instead of in rejected concept art material it deserves to be out there so everyone can see it and see it for what it is it does not deserve to be something hard to find, for a show that looks perfectly okay if you dont see it... racism is the most fucking disgusting thing when its hidden and people suffer in silence And also DEAR GOD I’m already anticipating that people are gonna jump on this and use it as like.. ammo to be all ‘the show was bad because it had gay people in it’, if it fails it’ll probably harm the chances of any similar shows for a while BUT AGAIN I am not ever gonna play the goddamn oppression olympics and sacrifice black people for the sake of queer people especially since FUCKING HELL there are a lot of black queer people who’d see that FUCKING PICTURE and just... dear god I dont know how to say anything constructive about this issue, I’m sorry i just want it all to hurry up and get confirmed one way or another. i wanna see evidence if this is real, or if its not, but god it probably is and I can already imagine the shitstorm of apologists...

im sorry this has just fucking destroyed me seriously

not even JUST a blatantly ‘minstrel show’ design, but also ‘name: concrete, cant read, lol’ ITS LIKE A FUCKING PARODY OF THIS BULLSHIT HOW CAN ANYONE BE THAT RACIST

fuck fuck fuck goodbye
