>>101764561The thing that pisses me off the most about current SU is the inclusion of Connie in huge events. Seeing her fight alongside the Crystal Gems, an alien race of warriors who have been battling gem creatures on Earth for 1,000s of years, and not getting instantly murdered makes me resent her. She’s fine here and there, but acting like she’s able to take on the diamonds in the same capacity as Garnet, Bismuth, etc is insulting to the other characters and causes her to feel tacked on.
In certain cases, the same could be said about Steven, but he is half gem and it is his show, so I can excuse that. But having her so prominent instead of being relegated to a townie kinda destroys the purpose of the premise. “Steven, the only human gem, fights alien monsters and fixes the war his mother started alongside his mysterious Gem Friends.........and a completely normal human.”
I’m drunk so I’m probably not articulating my point all that well but tl;dr I hate her for taking away the significance of Steven’s existence by essentially being forced into his spotlight (both normally and as Stevonnie, which is a whole other deal I hate)
