What was this scene implying?
ruby and sapphire are gay
>>84439906
oh shit
>>84439900
Sapphire is actually a delicious blue ham bone in a wig.
>>84439988
Well she does love beating her meat
>>84439909
Too subtle. They need to dedicate 30 more filler episodes to telling us about it, including an episode about baseball where they outright say that they can't go more than 5 minutes without thinking about boning eachother, er I mean "fusion".

It's for children.
Besides, there are barely any F/F couples on TV, I think they're allowed to be just as hammy about it as most writers are with M/F couples.

>Besides, there are barely any F/F couples on TV, I think they're allowed to be just as hammy about it as most writers are with M/F couples.
Okay, let's be reasonable for a sec. Having an F/F couple on TV? Not a big problem. Making their gayness the defining feature of their characters? That strikes me as disturbing.
You can claim that Sapphire is passive aggressive, and Ruby is hot headed, and those are character traits. However, those take a back seat to them constantly having gem sex on the brain, to the point where they willingly throw a ball game against hostile invaders because they needed to bump vectors so badly.
>>84440081
>Making their gayness the defining feature of their characters? That strikes me as disturbing.
wow just wow good job showcasing your ignorance fucking misogynist nazi pig oppressing imaginary women because of their sexuality makes you literally worse than hitler
>>84440081
Its not the gayness that's the defining trait it's the relationship.
Now one could use that as a basis for criticism there but to say its about the gayness is just seeing things in a way that allows you to be offended in the same way tumblr uses it as a basis to convince themselves they are being pandered to.
>>84440081
>Okay, let's be reasonable for a sec. Having an F/F couple on TV? Not a big problem. Making their gayness the defining feature of their characters? That strikes me as disturbing.
Is making the straightness of an M/F couple their defining trait disturbing?
Also, I actually think that their attraction takes a backseat to their individual traits and that their individual traits are readily apparent even when they talk about their attraction, but hey, what do I know?

I really like how people pull out this argument when defending the show.
>>84440175
Who do you think the cartoon airing on cartoon network is made for?
I hear bronies make the same argument. the fact that manchildren have latched onto a show doesn't change the fact that it's made for children,
>>84440175
Complaining a children's show is too blatant for you, an adult, is pathetic. Go watch something for your target demographic if you crave nuance and complexity.
>>84440175
They mean manchildren. The show's rated 12+
>>84440066
But they are both black to start with.
>>84440033
It's hilarious how blind everyone is about pretty classic "loving couple is being dorky around each other" gags when it comes to that episode
>>84440203
It's not a good argument because children aren't stupid
>>84440205
Ratings are worthless.
>>84440236
It's the same as everything with people talking about the homosexually in this show its never about the genders it's about the relationships.
>>84440296
What do you want? So they hug and Garnet sings, they make-up and kiss once, they have an episode about the beginning of their relationship, they have a comedic episode and they play the doofy couple. Seriously, what do you want from them? They're hardly there. I know kids aren't stupid, but do we seriously need them like fucking quietly brooding over their feelings or some shit? How else do you want to feature them so that they have a bit of character depth and a strong relationship, but the show doesn't lose its focus or become to bogged down by the writers hassling with Ruby and Sapphire.
Lesbian couples are rare in adult fiction and it's even rarer for them to be happy and stay together/not die. Kids can really benefit from seeing an unabashedly happy, unambiguous gay couple, both if they themselves are gay or for when they meet people who are.
Seriously, what do you want?
>>84440033
>Bravo Sugar for your """""""""subtlety"""""""""""
Uh? I don't know. I ean, lots of cartoon show and movie have couple who kiss each other. I don't see how this is any different.
>>84440175
I am nt one of those; it's more subtle than that. see>>84440758
It's a couple that is in in love and they picture it the same way lots of cartoon do it too.
>>84440116
>Is making the straightness of an M/F couple their defining trait disturbing?
Maybe, but no one does that. What's so "special" about heterosexuality? The only reason queers get a free pass is because they're a minority, but it's still disturbing
>>84440033
They sang a song about fucking for the first time, had a lover's quarrel while on vacation, and then after settling said quarrel they hugged and kissed each other.
What's subtle about that?
>>84440081
>Making their gayness the defining feature of their characters? That strikes me as disturbing.
But it's not what they are doing. Just because it's all you can see doesn't mean it's all there is.
Ruby is first and foremost presented as an angry little midget.
Sapphire is first and foremost featured as a cold bitch who got disabused by seeing everything that is bound to happens. Them being in love is only a part of what define them.

> giving small kids a sexuality
kek, that's really something that can't be assessed until they're about 16, I think being born gay is a meme, you need time to think about who you really are. When I was 15, I thought I was an edgy bisexual.
>>84441357
And how are things shaping up a year later?
>>84441415
kek, now that I'm 23, I would largely identify as straight, because I'm smart enough to realize just because you'd be willing to fuck a girl doesn't make you a lesbian if you like dudes 90% of the time. Bisexuals are a meme.
>>84439988
Head canon acquired.
>>84441357
>>84441452
It's because you're a grill and therefore don't actually have a sex drive. I've known I swung both ways pretty much since I hit puberty
>>84441452
protip: if you were straight, you wouldn't be willing to fuck a girl
>>84441452
I think you just have problems with your own sexuality anon your bisexual you just have a preference for men
>>84441452
>>84441603
I'm not sure which of you made the more retarded statement
>>84441357
Being born straight is a meme too. Pretty much every 16 year old chick is bisexual.
Guys. I really, really like Sugilite. I especially like how the Crewniverse blew all their budget on Nicki Minaj so early in the show's run it legitimately affected the show's production quality in the long run.
>>84441842
That explains why there was so little action and so much drama
>>84441842
Is she really that expensive? I thought she was mostly just a feature artist. God knows her last album didn't make shit.
>>84441842
>I especially like how the Crewniverse blew all their budget on Nicki Minaj so early in the show's run it legitimately affected the show's production quality in the long run
While I doubt this happened using really big celebrity voice actors is usually stupid, using musicians is stupid and yeah the whole thing was fucking stupid for the sake of a contrivance mainly to appeal to Sugar. It's telling that the Broadway rando they got to voice Sardonyx instead of Janelle Monae was the best of the three, it turns out actually having some acting experience is an asset in voice acting. Also they could get her and not keep fucking Sinbad? He was actually good in S1.
>>84440816
Agreed with this. I think the big thing is that they can't function without the other, it's what makes them so prone to fusing. They lose all of their balance the moment they're unfused, so it's awful for them to be separate.
It's still very gay.
>>84441890
No, that's just SU.
>>84441842
>I especially like how the Crewniverse blew all their budget on Nicki Minaj so early in the show's run it legitimately affected the show's production quality in the long run.

>>84441452
Homesexuality and heterosexuality are memes too though.
>>84441452
You don't seems to know the Kinsey scale, then. You might actually a 1. Straight who can incindentally get into gay relationship.
>Bisexuals are a meme.
Just because your personal experience make you mostly attracted to male doesn't mean other can't be bisexual.
Also, you don't know what meme means.
>>84441652
> he actually believes that
no one is 100% straight or gay you dip, there's always that one exception in your mind. Doesn't make you bisexual.
>>84441603
I've always been horny familia, but in the end, I like guys the most and that's what I see myself spending my life with
>>84441688
See above. Bisexuality is a meme, right along with polyamorous
>>84442323
I'm familiar with the scale, I just don't believe anyone is 100% hard gay or straight, but a 50/50 isn't believable either.
>>84442479
>See above. Bisexuality is a meme, right along with polyamorous
Again, you don't know what meme means.
>>84442479

It kinda do.
>>84442479
>right along with polyamorous
Why do you choose the one tumblr thing that is auctualy a real thing.
>>84442848
It's just a fancy word to not say "Cheating" instead.
>>84441842
There was this amazing mashup of Sugilite and Monster that I drank to all the time and was taken down because it was too good. Proof is that it's gone.
>>84442479
>See above. Bisexuality is a meme, right along with polyamorous
Sexuality is a meme. Monogamy is also a meme but if you really love someone and aren't completely rotted through with misanthropy you'll just mutually want to do it.
>>84439900
I don't know that it was really implying anything, they were just getting to know each other since it seems like they'll be stuck together forever now. Like Garnet's said before you can't really love somebody if you don't know them.
>>84439988
I thought she was a blue onahole.
>>84442848
Poly is usually just some girl's boyfriend having his cake and eating it too. Notice you never see any MMF poly couples, just some nerd with low self esteem and some girl who wants to appear interesting by fucking girls in her bfs harem.
This is why I avoid the SU fanbase.
Everything has to be so "important."
And fucking political.
>>84448112
Well, there is echangism club.
Are people who just seek fuck buddies and do sex with other fuck buddies with no commitments in an "open relationship"?
>>84448288
It doesn't. Most of the time. It's important and political to anti-SU because they lke to complain about "agenda".
Most SU fans here on /co/ simply enjoy the show.

To have a discussion here.
>>84439900
I rally miss the days when everyone just fapped to lesbians instead of complaining constantly about their existence. How can you not find girl-on-girl hot? Kids these days are fucking horrible prudes.
>>84448449
There is discussion lots of time. Most of the time, the shit is about Waifu and how much Pure/horrible she is.
What was yours about?
>>84448493
Puritanism has made a strong come back under the guise of neo-feminism and anti-neo-feminism.
>>84448493
My only problem with lesbians everywhere these days is that there are little no gay dudes outside background characters and tiny cameos.
I'm jealous.
>>84448606
Only because lesbianism is culturally encouraged as an acceptable fetish for straight guys,
So how come Pearl got nerfed so hard?
She was shown destroying a ruby fusion and what seemed to be three or four Quartzes in that flashback yet she got punked again and again in the show itself
Gems don't age, so what gives
>>84448796
Well they were unarmed, Pearl is the only one to wield weapons during the flahsback.
>>84448595
>Puritanism has made a strong come back under the guise of neo-feminism and anti-neo-feminism.
That explains a lot.
Whether it's "all porn is evil and sexist"/"anti-shipping is good because that pairing is 'problematic'" or "these two hot bitches shouldn't make out or fuck ever because that's 'SJW' and all dyke porn is muh da Jewz agenda durrrrr" people should shut the fuck up. I just want to enjoy my hot porn in peace. Is that too much to ask?
If it's wrong for a man to enjoy two really hot chicks fucking each other in the nastiest ways I don't want to be right
>>84440116
>Is making the straightness of an M/F couple their defining trait disturbing
Yes, it is. It's reducing them to a singular trait based on outer behaviors, instead of giving the character a personality.
You know what my favorite gay couple on TV is? The two guys from Mission Hill. They were in a loving relationship, but it wasn't the defining trait of their characters. They were funny, multidimensional people who felt like real people, and they just so happened to be gay.
The entirety of Ruby and Sapphire's relationship is "ZOMG SCANDALOUS LESBO SEX". Or in the case of the gem homeworld's standards, they'd be considered "coalburners" in /pol/ speak, due to intergem relationships.
They only get angry/passive aggressive when the plot demands it. Otherwise it never comes up.
>>84448796
...Rose died.
>>84448985
Yeah, I was hoping to learn more about them as characters on their split up episodes, but it turns out those where only ever about their relationship.
Now Kora, that was the worst pandering I've ever seen. Literally just slapped in there at the last season to keep the show from being forgettable.
>>84449116
Korra could've been redeemed if her and Asami had character besides "boring lesbos".
>>84448985
>The entirety of Ruby and Sapphire's relationship is "ZOMG SCANDALOUS LESBO SEX"
Except no it isn't, not at all. It's just another reflection on the show's theme of empathy/understanding those different from you + "permanent fusion" (so again, empathy) as viewed as a bad thing by Homeworld. Empathy vs. Imperialism yet again.
They are just minor characters meant to illustrate that theme.
Beyond that it's just standard Reason and/vs. Emotion shit.
>>84449150
>besides "boring lesbos".
Korra and Asami weren't even lesbian at all on the show proper and Korrasami wasn't in the actual show itself at all. There are many Korra complaints, but that isn't one of them because Korrasami wasn't a thing that actually really happened on the show and characterization problems lay completely elsewhere.
>>84448985
It's not about the homosexually it's about the relationship.
You might be able to criticise that but thinking it's about teh gay is just wrong
>>84441842
I really love it, it's absolutely fantastic. Everything about her is wonderful.
So question. How many kids are actually even identifying the gems on SU as gay couples?
Most 12+ year olds I know are already a lot more ranchier/lewder shit thanks to other media like movies and music.

I feel like you're right on this one. And I keep thinking that maybe the point of their characters is that together they form something more complex and nuanced, which is essentially what Garnet is all about.
>>84453061
Garnet isn't better or worse than Ruby or Sapphire, but she is certainly different. I dunno, man.
