2 me besides the fact that su didn’t handle colonialism and genocide well at all; the real issue with rose quartz is that she didn’t get that other ppl were tied down by promises obligations and commitments. This is where the colonialism issue comes in; but I saw a vid of someone saying ppl are mad but rose quartz wanted freedom and got it and that’s not a bad thing which is true EXCEPT for that she is a pillar of a colonizing planet and she provided the fuel for them to try and actively exterminate the planet she found refuge on. It’s true that ur allowed to cut ppl off who hurt you but rose also started a rebellion which others joined under false pretenses and got damn near everyone killed. Like ppl are mad the diamonds didn’t have any teeth but that HAD to happen bc the show shifted from the homeworld destroying earth plot to dysfunctional family and that’s why it sucked sorry

#i dont hate su btw #and all of that above is like half baked I don’t feel like typing in depth rn #but like yeah i think su would’ve benefited if they knew from the start what the big issue was and moved forward accordingly #like Ppl are saying ‘ur mad a kids show didn’t have actual colonialism in it’ like no I’m mad the show didn’t follow through with that they #set up #im mad that we can address everything but a non peaceful solution #im mad that a lot of y’all used su to determine ur politics and never moved forward #im mad that the second u speak on racism in su it shows how little u actually know #cookie cat theory but saying bismuth’s treatment was anti black is a stretch please
