I totally understand that and have done it myself, but it’s really a let down when you watch the show and discover it wasn’t as gay as you were lead to believe. LGBT fans have a tendency to latch onto any possible inference of a character being gay and treat their queerness as fact. As a pansexual man, I wanted to get excited but I’d been burned before. Then some gifs started appearing that made the show seem, well, pretty gay. I just didn’t think it was really for me. Contrary to the general ‘cartoons suck these days’ mentality many people in their twenties have, I was sure Steven Universewas a fun show that would be fondly appreciated by its core kid audience.
It dealt with a little boy and his Gem friends saving the world. This Steven Universe feature contains spoilers up to “Last One Out of Beach City.”Ībout a year ago I first started hearing about a little show called Steven Universe on Cartoon Network.
