#Lapis is traumatised on so many levels and she does take it out on Peridot and that isn't right or good and it shouldn't be looked over

Yknow I think I understand now when people were saying that the Steven Universe fandom was toxic back when I was in it, I got lucky, the fandom has been revived on TikTok and the amount of bullshitery I've seen already,,, I have got to write an esaay or smth about like "Bad Victim Criticism" and how it is so so prevelant in this fucking fandom

#I promise you guys Steven Universe Future isn't problematic trauma rep. It is so so real and honest #Steven isn't perfect and his trauma makes him make bad decisions. This doesn't make it bad rep. It makes sense #Also Steven turning into a monster at the end of the show ISN'T supposed to be reflective of his trauma and his actions #It is supposed to be a reflection how he feels about himself because he wouldn't stop bottling everything he felt up #I've also seen like. People making full on hate videos for Connie???? Like. That is a child??? #Yeah how DARE a child not be perfect and perfectly considerate of all of her actions and their consequences #Also I've seen people calling Lapidot a pr*ship and like???? #Okay now that I'm older I can look at Lapidot and be a little more critical of their dynamic. #Lapis is traumatised on so many levels and she does take it out on Peridot and that isn't right or good and it shouldn't be looked over #And I do get that Peridot is heavily aspec coded as well! #But this ship was so so prevelant in the fandom and cartoon network fed into it a lot #I guess it feels weird to put Lapidot - This big fucking ship that was so so popular - in with like #Stuff like Age-gap ships and Incest ships and that shit #Guys I promise you Lapis is a complicated characters and not just. A monsterous abuser who secretly HATES Peridot or smth #They were friends. Throughout the show Lapis is still learning how to live outside of being trapped somewhere. She makes bad decisions. #Because she's like. A person. And shouldn't be expected to always be perfect and moral and right #<<< I think I can say that to a lot of criticisms of characters in this show #Sorry holy fuck Steven Universe posting in the year 2023??? Insane #Sjsjsjsj #Steven Universe #SU #Android.txt
