    "The loveliest lies of all" always sounded so insidious to me, but the way you explained it made it seem so much kinder. Thank you.

    Honestly my friend convinced me to watch this as a marathon on Halloween of last year. I was hesitant cuz I wasn't aware how long this series was and how long each episode was since I had to work the next day. But after explaining to me that the episodes are only about 10 minutes each and there are a total of 10 episodes I said "sure let's do it". I never regretted that decision. This mini series was so much fun and I absolutely fell in love with the fall atmosphere and design of the whole thing. I like exploring the creepy and spooky side of America like Colonial times a la Sleepy hollow. This series has stuck with me for months and I hope to watch it again for Halloween this year

    Didn't Rebecca Sugar outright state she uses Fusion as a sex metaphor? It's introduced like that when Pearl doesn't want Steven to see Amethyst and Garnet fuse like seeing it might mess him up. Makes it messed up anything Steven fuses.

    • @dantefloressq
      @dantefloressq 6 років тому

      Fusion is relationships in general. They can represent sex, but also they can represent all other types of relationships.

    • @effiek.8897
      @effiek.8897 2 роки тому

      Like the previous comment says it symbolizes an relationship. It can be platonic, parental but also romantic (or even intimate). Either way its not sexual because they are sexless creatures therefore can´t have sex (but can have romantic relationships). Pearl doesn´t want Steven to see becase fusion ist still innapropriate for Gems for various reasons (but not sexual cause it can´t be). Herself wants only to fusion when it´s absolutely nessesary so it´s more of her opinion only.

    • @PlanetZoidstar
      @PlanetZoidstar 2 роки тому

      @@effiek.8897 Pretty sure that is a post-hoc justifucation. Keep in mind what Rebecca said about Stevonnie's debut and it being a metaphor for puberty growth spurts. Being a child suddenly thrust into a maturing body. The Gems may be sexless beings but the symbolism and metaphor is very sexual. Then take the example of Jasper coercing Lapis into fusing. Her rape face and saying "just say yes!" no not help it look any less sexual.

    Is Rose trans cause she changed her sex(gem type). Did Greg have babies with a trans rose quartz. if you feel like a rose quartz can you just be one. What if garnet felt like a topaz.

    I haven't got a clue what you were on about. And I feel like you missed the point of the show and the characters. Or you got it and used words and phrases that only makes sense to people already versed in Queer Theory. All this agender and presenting as female stuff seems muddied. You appear to ignore that gems can only be as masculine or feminine as their gem type allows, and not much further. Fluid is the very last thing you could describe the genders in this show. All Pearls are pretty. All Quarts are tough. All Rubies are short. However the show does make it clear that no matter how alike these characters may seem to others of their type, everyone is who they make themselves to be. Pearl being such a renegade badass genius is the best example. But this feels more relatable to body types or even race. Gender is included but it doesn't look to be teh focus. Pearl is at her core still a Pearl and acts like one. She does not reject who she was made as. She just chooses to be more than that. This goes against a lot of feminism which shames women who are "too womanly" and paints men as enemies. And that's another thing. Gender is all but ignored in the show. Masculinity and femininity are shown to only ever be personal things. No-one ever uses these traits to insult or judge others. Not even the villains do this. Not even against Steven the only male gem. The show's message is that gender does not matter, and that's fantastic. Unlike in feminism where gender is more important than your name. Whilst celebrating who you are, and encouraging you to strive to be more than that, SU also tackles relationships. This is a part that is so huge I shouldn't even try to describe it all in this comment. That is a topic for a video. One that's already been done, and pretty well. Not saying gender isn't a good topic too, just, it's easier. And talking about feminism especially is easy, cause the entire show is extremely anti-feminist. Anyway dunno if you were confused, or I was not the target audience. I managed to get nothing from this video sadly.

      Boys dressing like girls or two girls fusing to make a cool person or every character being a women and the show being made by a lesbian are all great examples of how this show promotes gay lifestyles

    I am not a fan of your video. I think Steaven Universe is disgusting. I also think you look like a serial killer. I hope you continue to make more videos dispite my disagreement of your opinion.

      @teddypanda9068 6 років тому

      Shoot, Amanda! You got me. It was a pretty lame insult. To Nerd's Eye, I never was a big fan of Steaven Universe because I really did not like Pearl, Steaven, and the purple one, I cannot spell her name off the top of my head. I really only like Rebecca Sugar's forgive and forget attitude for the villians. I dislike Steavan U less as of now. There are more important things to be concern in this world. Thanks you for the reply and have a good day to both of you.

    • @madkinggaming3744
      @madkinggaming3744 5 років тому

      Nerd' s eye view it’s less that the lack of gender is a nuanced thought experiment and more that it is a great way to get around censorship. It’s why the gems present as female so that you can associate them as being woman but keep the backstory such that censorship boards can’t complain. Doing this allows them to introduce concepts like non heterosexual and non monogamous relationships to a younger audience but allow them to get around censorship guidelines. This is similar to how the 90s Spider-Man wasn’t allowed to punch so all fights focused on him incapacitating opponents in other ways. Pulling a wall down on them or webbing them up. You’re allowed to believe what you will I’m just stating what has been said by animators and creators.

      Yokai I never really meant to seem like I was attacking. I am more into the science of it and not feelings. Genderfluid is okay but honestly everything else is kinda weird to me (besides trans but that isn't a gender).
