>>101893285>Steven will not be able to win her over with le ebin power of friendship, he will have to use force, logic, or bargaining.Pretty much. And the only things that generally count as "true" evil, bad, wrong, and/or bandong, is not caring about people's feelings.
Kevin is like one of the few human baddies because A) He was an aggressive egotistical dick at a party, B) Didn't care how he hurt steven/connies feelings, and C) how he thinks helping people works is basically is all about being too cool for feelings or talking to people.
Everyone whose ever been bad has had disregarded something feelings-y, but also had feelings themselves. Jasper thinks fusion is bullshit, and thereby relationships are bullshit and don't make you strong. And even when she gets fusion obsessed, it really is about being stronger. Basically being "Lets Fuck its Fun and makes me Feel powerful".
White Diamond isn't exactly emotionless, she's relieved and happy, she's stable, but she presumes thoughts and feelings onto people. She might've always known Pink Diamond was Rose Quartz, known the war was a lie, didn't care. She didn't give steven a chance to speak, and more impotantly, didn't even give yellow or blue a chance to speak. Again this might be because she's ultimately the one responsible for dictating all Gem Roles. The one that said "Bismuths are Engineers" "Pearls are Servants" "Quartzes are Warriors" "Sapphires Are Advisors" and "Rubies are Soldiers".
Heck maybe the reason earth and yellow and blue diamonds gems are full of weirdos who can occasionally defect to earth and have off color thoughts, is because white diamond isn't personally responsible. She thinks because she designed them they'll always do what she says and intended.
If there is ultimately any predictions for her redemption, it might involve finally making her unstable, or "move". Perhaps Poofing her and letting her reform, and perhaps self sabotaging Jasper Style at the end.
