I see where you're coming from but my argument boils down to, I don't think those things are separable. Narratives are always going to be situated in a specific cultural context, and queer romance being presented as natural, normal, and accepted is subversive in its own right and I think it's important to recognize that. But I'm gonna stop now before I go way off the critical theory deep end.

Yeah, and just for the record: I get where you're coming from too, and even though I disagree I respect your opinion.

Anyway, does anyone know what time screenshots from upcoming episodes usually leak? I normally try to avoid partial leaks, because I've heard the crewverse (or at the very least Matt) isn't found of them), but I really have to know what the HELL is in Onion's gang as soon as I can.

The relationships in Steven Universe are written in a way that makes them so universal that they're relatable to anybody, gay or otherwise. It's just love, dude.

Kinda varies. The last few have leaked screens on Tuesday or Wednesday, with the full ep usually appearing at around midday on Thursday.
I think the issue the Crewniverse seems to have w/r/t leaks has less to do with people seeking them out for themselves and more concern that context-free images or videos of major spoilers will be shared on social media, and thus spoil things for the 90% of people that are going to watch the show on time. They've also gotten annoyed at a few "official leaks" like when the Malachite vs Alexandrite fight scene got posted on CN's app. You wanna spoil yourself, though, go nuts.

I'm going with the theory posted earlier that Onion leads a gang of Rubies.

Yeah, I didn't notice any points where she looked particularly off, but it wouldn't surprise me if LemonLimeTime is right in that other boarders might struggle if they have to do an episode with her in it.

No sense in borrowing trouble, though.

It wasn't so much that the design might give other boarders more issue so much as the rainbow hair would be a nightmare to mesh with other colouration when you're doing it regularly. And animating it would be a lot more time-consuming, too.

I don't think she's going to be a 'regular' character, regardless, even if she comes back soon. Lapis will probably shatter her, declare war on both Earth and Homeworld, and ascend to arc-villain status. That's why her character development was kind of thin even after she came back.

I dunno, I just think it's a little shallow to say that Pearl's and Mystery Girl's genders aren't relevant to the story on the condition that you decontextualize their gender from culture. :shrug: It was a conscious decision by Sugar and the rest of the crew to include queer romances in this show and I think that decision carries weight beyond just basic representation.
I agree with both of you. It's important to have stories be uniquely queer sometimes, but equally important, in my opinion, is to have queerness be an entirely unremarkable part of other stories.

This show chooses the latter over the former, and I'm cool with it. I like the idea of kids watching a show where being queer is treated as perfectly normal and almost humdrum.

I'm not reading a single other post in this thread for fear of spoilers but I just want to say that I got sick of seeing this all over the internet and not getting it so I sat down to watch some of it, and ended up binging the entire first season today. This show has absolutely no right to be as good as it is and I'm mad at myself for avoiding it this long.
