#oh dont get me started on how people characterize spinel i. i have so many issues

I will say this. I absolutely despise how there’s barely an inbetween when it comes to the characterization of the Diamonds post canon. It’s like people either want them to be dear loving aunt figures who did no wrong ever (they literally abused Pink and were essentially otherworldly tyrannic dictators but okay sure ignore that 😐), or completely ignorant creatures who can’t form a single decent opinion and will hurt everyone at every turn on PURPOSE, forgetting any development they’ve ever made in favor of calling others lower lifeforms (like girl then what was the purpose of the last season and SU future then)

Listen I know they’re not perfect and far from that, especially with how the show tried to redeem White because it didn’t turn out as well as we hoped, but WHEN WILL YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THAT FLAWED CHARACTERS EXIST! It’s obvious that the Diamonds were more wrong than good, but with the context of the movie and SU future it’s obvious they’re trying to be better. Even if they haven’t figured everything out yet. You can’t just deny any of that and make them to be completely irredeemable or completely wonderful when the entire message of the show is anyone can change their mind.
