I Finally Watched Su This Summer And I Honestly Cant Take People Saying It Is Bad Seriously Bc Imo Its

I finally watched su this summer and I honestly cant take people saying it is bad seriously bc imo its flaws are heavily overpowered by its advantages. And I can acknowledge the former -bc no show is perfect- but not when it is all that people see. It's pointless to discuss anything it in that case.

There is a great atmosphere in this show. It has awesome lore, likable and well-written characters and relationships, and it speaks about important topics in an incredible way.

Rebecca Sugar and the crew did an amazing job creating a story that is important to so many people and is an essential part of cartoon history. One might not like the show and they have a right to it, but that can't be denied.

I don't care if people enjoy Steven Universe.

I care that Steven Universe was subject to aggressively homophobic censorship, which is a genuine fucking social justice issue, and nobody cares because as long as something is "cringey" it's free-game to be homophobic toward, apparently.

There existed a children's television show that got cancelled over its inclusion of a lesbian wedding, and instead of being remembered as a victim of homophobic censorship, or as a historical milestone that allowed the production of other queer shows like She-Ra and The Owl House, it gets remembered as nothing but a bad discourse generating fandom.

And that really fucking chaps my ass as someone who studies queer media.

The Fandom May Be Dead, But The Big Four Was And Probably Will Forever Be My Favorite Crossover. There

The fandom may be dead, but the Big Four was and probably will forever be my favorite crossover. There was just such a good balance between the characters in terms of design and personality. Sure, the timelines never lined up completely in canon, but it was fun imagining all the adventures these four could get into together. I have no context for why they are discussing battle plans, but I’m sure there are plenty of fanfics this could fit into. The designs are from a SUPER old drawing I did back when the fandom was still active (with a few minor alterations). Gosh, I drew that 6 years ago… maybe I should do a side-by-side comparison.

When Izzy first walked out I was worried that he would be made into a joke that the crew would laugh at

An image of Izzy Hands from Our Flag Means Death. He is wearing dramatic makeup.

but then he started singing and the dancing began and I realized that he wasn’t meant to be a joke at all. This is the most open and happy we’ve ever seen Izzy and the show treated it that way. Not mocking him but instead celebrating this moment.

When we talk about queer representation it’s usually just focused on queer relationships, but what I love about this episode is it shows other sides of being queer. That moment where Izzy saw Wee John doing his makeup and had a realization that he wanted that too? That is what being queer means to me. The crew singing along and cheering for him? That is what being apart of the queer community means to me.

What i love about this show is that it shows queer joy, not in a sanitized way, but in away that is messy, beautiful, and without any mockery or shame.
