Did Peridot deserve redemption?

She's basically Gem Joseph Mengele, torturing gems and making abominations. She also just doesn't seem to be picking up on the whole "sanctity of life" thing Steven and the others are putting down.

Pretty much the only reason she went against Yellow Diamond was because she though YD was acting illogically in wasting the planet's resources.

Honestly, redeeming Jasper would make more sense than redeeming Peridot, regardless of how cute the little cat-nazi appears to be.

>Did Peridot deserve redemption?
"deserve" is applicable to the real world, cartoon characters don't apply. Also it's a different world with different morals.

>She's basically Gem Joseph Mengele, torturing gems and making abominations
Nice assumptions and conjectures.

>She also just doesn't seem to be picking up on the whole "sanctity of life"
Just like normal humans.

>the only reason she went against Yellow Diamond was because she though YD was acting illogically
So what? It's a war, if you get a new ally you smile and say "thank you", you don't whine until they help you FOR EXACTLY THE RIGHT REASON.

Christ, what kind of moralfag wrote this?

But Peridot wasn't actually involved in the experimenting - she was just there to do the maintenance and report on it

The reason why her redemption worked was because she was left stranded, and that Steven is just that nice a guy that he wants to at least try to teach her that working for the Diamond to ruin a perfectly good planet is bad.

Unlike Jasper, she was just someone who was pulled into the mess - she was just doing her job. Though, doesn't excuse her behavior in squishing the broken robonoid and the DIEDIEDIEDIE thing

>>79129677
Jasper is much older than Peridot, and has actually fought against the rebels on the miserable hunk of rock that is the Earth - She's also the only one of the two who is an actual, real threat - She got tossed into a ship reactor, suffered through the crash, and wasn't poofed.

Meanwhile, all Garnet had to do to poof Peridot was squeeze her between her fingers. So while Jasper wasn't even properly doing her job either - she told Peridot to fuck off the second she saw Steven with the Rose Quartz Gem. The main difference between the two is threat-levels and motivations, really
>>
>>79129652
>Though, doesn't excuse her behavior in squishing the broken robonoid and the DIEDIEDIEDIE thing
Both robots and gems are disposable and can be replaced.
Gems are obviously conditioned to see themselves of one of many and having no individual value ("there's ton's of me!").

Amorality isn't the same thing as immorality.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion.
She stated that the earth's organic ecosystem produces valuable resources which is true organic life may be the least common resource in the universe.

Or the lifeforms themselves or in the case of humans our culture
I'm pretty sure the gems could refine steel or build a nuclear reactor but organic life is in itself a extreme rarity in the universe and just on earth the creatures that live here are the source of many many different resources that we take for granted but since they come from a product of our ecosystem would not occur elsewhere in the universe.
Also humans being a seperate sapient race from gems would have numerous cultural differences which could serve either to teach gems of new concepts that they were unaware of or at the very least supply a distraction to curious mind, Peridot had already come to realize this one in particular what with her getting obsessed with a human tv show.

You're giving her way too much credit by the Mengele comparison. Peridot is one step up from a pencil pusher. She's a (crappy) technician sent to check on things. She wasn't involved personally in any torture or significant scientific experiments.

She comes across as cold towards life because she had never seen any organic life before. During her very first encounters with it on earth, after only a few days she almost immediately begins to understand its value and turns on her masters. She's a good person. Just really annoying.

Gem culture is different from earth culture. Their society is extremely hierarchical and racist; every gem's existence revolves solely around obedience towards the higher castes. They don't consider emotions, like love, to be valuable. Their primary concerns are utility, power, and aesthetics. Peridot came straight out of this culture, so it's natural that she would have some trouble adjusting upon arrival.
>>
>>79134556
>that's how 4chan works

It's also customary not to make frivolous threads that you know won't create any discussion, like asking a singular question with a pretty direct answer, especially when there's other, more active threads that are relevant to the topic.

Hopefully before Lapis'.

It bothers me that so much of the fandom sees Lapis as an innocent victim who dindu nuffin, even though she was totally fine with killing off humanity to achieve her goal, too. And now she's trapped someone in a hellish prison for months out of pure spite.

But Jasper, who's pretty much identical in morality to how Peridot was, is a big bully who's getting her just desserts from poor, pure Lapis.

Uhhh, by "resources" she meant the living things of Planet Earth. That was the point - she DID learn the value of life on Earth, and wanted other Gems to learn from that too. We saw more of that in Log #Whatever, when we see her fascination with insects. "Resources" just means anything that's useful, and doesn't she specifically say something like "the life forms here on earth aren't useless"?

They didn't know it was Lapis in the mirror. The Cgems do know that gems are harvested to power their technology. Probably bad gems are the ones that get turned into batteries/cpus. So they assume that Lapis was a dangerous criminal.

The original plan was to Gemform the Earth. Making it a hollow husk full of Gem cities and warp pads. While all the exploited earth material and life force was turned into Gems and Gem Tech.

I mean, I hate the blog it comes from... but I love this comparison because the gems are acting a little like "paper clip maximizers"... or at the very least, self replicating machines.

Most just don't give a shit about humanity. Or life. It's all about replicating.

Earth just happened to have advanced enough biological life that they were exposed to alternative views. Some left the old program behind.

Peridot was part of that old mentality.
>>
>>79127636
Peridot wasn't around for the war, she didn't even know who the Crystal Gems were, there's no goddamn way she could have been involved if she didn't know who the goddamn forces they were fighting against were. So she wasn't involved in the experiments at all, beyond checking on them for her boss who actually made the things.

I do not know just how manytimes you people need to be told this shit. You have been told time and time again. And you refuse to listen. Because you don't want your Mengele joke to die due to a lack of canon in its diet.

I'd rather she and Jasper both serve as examples that you can't "fix" everyone.

Lapis would make a good middle-ground character if she's willing to work with the Crystal Gems, but never completely forgives them for locking her up in a mirror for ages, while Jasper would make a fantastic example of being totally unable to affect someone.

No, Anon is saying that the original plan was to colonize the Earth. That's why all the structures like Kindergartens were there for. THEN the war happened because Rose opposed this, and when the rebellion made colonization more trouble than it was worth, YD decided to create the Cluster - Creating an experimental super-weapon to use for other conquests, and destroying the Earth completely.

Only because Steven talked her down and healed her.

She wasn't even past Earth's atmosphere at that point. Until Steven talked to her, she would have kept sucking up the ocean until she either got home or there was nothing left - The latter of which would happen far sooner.

I'm still wondering when human involvement is going to become more of a thing. You think at least one scientist, or someone from the military, or some kind of representative of human power on earth would try to establish a dialogue with them for the purpose of advancing humanity's interests, given how much danger the earth is in.

It was a rape-and-switch.

Lapis is the one who ultimately did the raping.

Heres my humble theory about that matter.

I think Gem tech uses some kind of idiot wave or something like a sonic fence which makes humans uncomfortable around.
If I were this advanced I would use something like that to keep these low lifeforms away from the stuff i build without haveing to kill them anytiime they come to near. They just stay away themself.

That would also kinda explain how Connies mother thought that these Shardmutants were just normal traffic victims at least if Gems themself were able to radiate something like that.

Which is nowhere near her destination - Homeworld is in another fucking Galaxy. Lapis wasn't even 1/10 of the way to our own moon.

Nope. In the most recent episode, Garnet says "You can see Homeworld's galaxy from here."
