They touched on that one episode ago with Mr. Smiley and Mr. Frowny. Yes this is an important message but there's no reason whatsoever it has to be Pearl who's used to demonstrate this.

There's no reason whatsoever it has to be any given character. That's up to the writers. :shrug:

This is just a relationship that is still in the establishing stage so we get to see it grow and change. Smiley and Frowney we see years after whatever went down went down so it's not the same sort of impact.

We also haven't seen a positive queer relationship as it moves through its early stages except in The Answer where we already knew the outcome. I think that's way more important and probably something the Crew would care a lot more about showing than showing things not working out for whatever reason.

Nah, Gem mutants don't like live food.

Sorry that I saw a bad post on a poo poo website I guess?

It's a bad meme that bad goons use where they like to disproportionately hate any website or culture that isn't something awful. It's a lot like the bad meme they use where they pretend Allen Gregory isn't a really good, funny and progressive show, which it definitely is and everyone should get their hopes up and watch it.

There was total denial that Pearl was Gay as hell for Rose for awhile with people saying it was more of a Master/Student relationship or a more familial thing. To be fair, when it first came up in the show they were kind of vague but the show got to the point pretty quickly and there were some people that stayed in denial even after that.

'Lesbian' assumes a bunch, that they have no attraction to guys at all, but queer can contain 'lesbian' since queer is a set of a bunch of different sexualities. A lesbian person is queer, but a queer person may not be lesbian. I mean Pearl is probably a lesbian but I don't know why you're so mad about the word 'queer'.

Queer is a term that really has been completely owned by the LBGTQ community (hell it's in their name depending on how you interpret the Q) so it honestly seems kind of weird seeing someone offended by it's use. I can't remember the last time I saw it used in a derogatory way.

She was literally jealous of Rose's actual boyfriend/husband/eventual baby-daddy, how is this even possible. lol

A better analogy would be if you were to tell people of colour they aren't allowed to use the n-word any more because it's racist and they should stop being so darn racist to each other all the dang time.

There was some card or image macro going around not too long ago saying that Ruby and Sapphire were "best friends." Which is technically true but perhaps a little misleading.

It's set up so that it can develop off screen through flirty texts at whatever pace they want but I don't think they would do that and not have any intention of giving her any screen time. Ruby and Sapphire aren't enough to satisfy this show's quota of girls laughing and being blushy.

Maybe I should've added in a "most" or "a lot" in there. I don't think they'll just sideline her completely but a lot of what we'll see of the relationship will be showing how it affects Pearl and use Mysterious Girl's mysteriousness to fuel some humor.

Motherfucker posted:

I'm kinda hoping pearl's relationship explodes in flames because she's basically using pearlfriend as a replacement gold-fish and also because she refuses to 'lower' herself to doing human stuff the majority of the time which is very much expected of you when you're literally dating a human.

What you're failing to see here is that Pearl made a ton of positive steps in this episode. She got of of her comfort zone, went out to have fun, tried out human stuff, took risks, socialized, and did things because she wanted to do them. And yes, she chatted with a human who kinda looks like Rose, but Mysterious Girl isn't Rose, Pearl just finds her cool and interesting and...uh, mysterious. Pearl used to be more confident and rebellious, but she was also reliant on Rose to reenforce that confidence. Since Rose died, Pearl's been tied down by her old feelings and doesn't feel like she can be her best self without Rose there for her. This was part of what Mr Greg was about. This is Pearl now moving forward and being independent, and trying new things. It's good and healthy.
