You fail to understand that Steven is the only gem with a gender.
>>
>>84461679

The part where it doesn't jibe with the available facts.

Gems have no genitals, physical brains or chromosomes. So all we have to go by is superficial physical traits.

And so far the most feminine gem of all is Rose, and she died. Second, I'd say, is summer-dress-wearing Lapis.

But the rubies? How can you even tell?

Why ARE all gems 'female' if they don't have a gender per se at all? All this time I have worked from the assumption that the whining and griping about this being a 'tumblr show' were unfounded. I really don't want to believe there is some kind of political reason why all gems are 'female' by default.

In short: I, me, identify rubies as male. And not because of Garnet / lesbianism bad (because it's not... it's one of the strongest evidences there is a God). Purely based on their behavior.

The only problem for me is that would be unfair to Charlyne Yi, who apparently has to deal with that particular issue in real life.

>>84461838

But the Namekians give birth. So they are not all male, they are all female.

Hermaphrodites? No, because they give birth without having sex first, something known as parthenogenesis (which is just latin for 'Virgin Birth'), which is something certain female animals do, such as stick insects and whiptail lizards.

Besides of which the Namekians are organic. Gems are mineral life forms who choose their soma-form. Why do they all opt for the female form? Well, appearance. And, again, in the case of the rubies even that is questionable.

....Maybe we will get an in-universe explanation some day.

Female is defined by possessing ovum. If the creature lays eggs/gives birth, it is female, unless it also produces sperm, then it is a hermaphrodite. Things that don't possess eggs and reproduce through budding or fission or something are asexual.

Piccolo Dai-Ma-O laid eggs, too. Just because they don't do it all the time, doesn't mean they CAN'T. They're virtually ageless. The need is very low. But unless Eldest condemned his species to slow extinction, they all have at least the potential for parthenogenesis.

Unless you want to argue Namekians are like bees or ants, in which case they are still female, just infertile!

they're male aliens that lay eggs because toriyama doesn't know shit about biology and also because he couldn't draw women well at the time so he just made an all male race

gems are all female as a response against the idea of aliens being 'male' as default.

this is not hard to grasp. if you're ok with toriyama's lazyness you should also be okay with all female gems

I think what gets people is that SU really runs with the idea. In Star Trek and most other sci-fi series, the all-feminine aliens all look like beautiful women, act like attractive women, and exist pretty much for one episode and give Kirk someone to kiss/fuck.

In SU, the female aliens come in a variety of body types (some of them not considered attractive), have annoying/abrasive personalities that would make them less attractive, and have relationships with one another instead of the main character.

There's no green/blue/red skinned alien space babe, which is how the cliche is supposed to work. When you stop going with the obvious cliche, people are more likely to "just go with it" and instead start asking questions.

Tell the truth. You haven't actually watched Star Trek, you've just searched cliches up on Tvtropes and are under the mistaken impression that ugly alien women are something even remotely new.

There's a lot to dislike with Steven Universe, but I think the worst part of it is the raging ignorance of the fans, who mistakenly assume the series is both "subverting" cliches and doing something new.

>How can a metal be a gemstone?
I've come to the conclusion that anything can be a gemstone if idiots think it looks good.
Lapis lazuli and pearls aren't crystals or gems either but there they are.
I eagerly await other precious metals like gold, silver, platinum,copper, and other to appear as characters

Come on. They literally stated "all gems are female as a response to all-male species of aliens" or words to that effect?
Link please?

The gems themselves are not female some of them just look feminine from a human perspective, all the gems (sans Steven) are voiced by female actresses.

Works better with a joke from Richard Pryor for the original.

"What's Black and Blue and Red all over? A nigga right after a fight."

Seriously if you look past it she's just stoic big momma ready to take the switch and fist to those who cause trouble to the family. That and the few lessons she gives/gets does remind me of the magical negro archetype when they air.

>Tell the truth. You haven't actually watched Star Trek, you've just searched cliches up on Tvtropes and are under the mistaken impression that ugly alien women are something even remotely new.

Seen all of the original series, most of TNG, and smatterings of the others. My wife is a huge Star Trek fan.

Ugly alien women as members of an "ugly alien race" is one thing.

A bunch of women only aliens, that aren't meant to be "Whoah, look how hot/ugly they are!", but just be a bunch of people who run a gamut? No, not in Star Trek. Not in most sci-fi/fantasy.

>>84466585
>>84466614

These things don't even look like women. We're obviously talking about aliens where members of the entire species that look like human women as compared to aliens where all members clearly look like men.

In fact, in both episodes that these aliens appeared to, the discovery that they were "female" is revealed as some kind of twist.

I think this is the straw that breaks the camel's back for me on their whole "The gems are female" thing.
This character is obviously drawn male. Why can't he be male? Why can't any of the gems be male? It makes no sense. You could argue that the gems are "genderless", but they all are created to appear, dress and behave female. Why? This serves no purpose to the story and is actually now becoming a distraction.

Pyrite is a mineral, and that form of bismuth is referred to as a crystal. Funnily enough, Pearl doesn't fit the definition. Also check this out;

>>84468999
Rocks aren't inherently minerals either. A mineral has to have a defined chemical structure and most rocks are an amalgam of different minerals. Fore example, iron ore is a mineral, but a silicon rock containing iron ore isn't.

Bismuth is also found in a ton of minerals and is sometimes referred to as a mineral on its own, as most metals are. In fact, bismuth crystals are even referred to as minerals on occasion. Just look up "Bismuth mineral" and you'll find plenty about this.

Rose isn't the kind to kill Pink Diamond. Something must have happened to her, and being corrupted into a pink lion seems to be most likely.

Rose being pink doesn't mean she is Pink Diamond, the same way Lapis and Sapphire aren't Blue Diamond. Pearl is Rose's pearl since she isn't completely pink, and she came to Earth under Pink's rule (hence the pink diamond in her space suit).

Given her involvement in Lapis's past I'm going to bet Bismuth's point will be to develop Lapis in some way, and perhaps in a tragic direction.

Perhaps Bismuth feels awful about what happened, tries her best to get Lapis to forgive her, but Lapis is so hurt and angry she does something to fuck up the crystal gems and shatter Bismuth.
>>
>>84470307
Because the base color of a bismuth crystal is blue.

Still should be all square and (literally) edgy. One of the most defining traits of bismuth is that it is edginess. And making Bismuth visually different could've brought out the differences between her and the other gems: that, unlike them, Bismuth is an element.

But of course, the iPod generation gets triggered over anything even slightly pointy and non-chamfered. Hence why Prof. Utonium's new look in the PPG reboot.
