The real issue is that /co/ doesn't realise that Rebecca Sugar is also a Lapidot shipper, shipping them with the roommates-type dynamic since before the characters were revealed.
Pic related, 2014 sketches that /co/ denies the existence of.
/ss/fags have spread the meme that Lapis was intended to get with a human male initially, but there's no evidence of this in the crew sketches or interviews which all back up Lapidot.
Rebecca Sugar stated that Steven and Lapis' relationship is based on the existence of a little boy in the Margo comic who had the same dynamic with Margo as Steven does with Margo. They were always intended to be a cross-generation friendship.
Zuke's breakdown wasn't over Lapidot full stop because Sugar also likes Lapidot and the entire crew signed off on Zuke's episodes as they aired. Zuke vs Sugar was about whether the lesbians should be largely textual (what Zuke wanted) or largely subtextual (what Sugar wanted and what the show is)
>>103174739Yes she is, it's obvious that What Was Missing had deliberate subtext and it was how that ship really took off. And the original genesis of Bubbline was Nat's fanart.
>>103174672Zuke did Too Far as well which is ironic because Amedot shippers hate her passionately because she ultimately only cares about Lapidot
t. hates knowing about this
