>>115726284>Lapis AGREES to fuse with Jasper to trick her into months of fusion Jasper didn't consent to because she's "tired of being everyone's prisoner" and wants her own prisoner>Lapis OUTRIGHT ADMITS to forcing Jasper to stay fused and enjoying taking her anger out on her>none of the other characters care that Lapis essentially locked Jasper in a rape dungeon and used her as a living punching bag until Jasper got stockholm syndrome, so she gets away with itIf you replaced your pic with Lapis you'd be onto something
>>115727422>mommy I want to be a lesbian rapist now thanks for letting me watch this showIs pretty much what the writers are asking the audience to feel with Lapis and Pearl's "rape" metaphors, both are presented as good guys despite doing awful things and neither were really punished for the fucked up stunts they pulled. Pearl was scolded after taking advantage of Garnet but by the end of the arc it was all about Pearl's feelings and Garnet was the one consoling her.
This is a reoccurring problem in Steven Universe. Nobody gets comeuppance or faces consequences, everyone is immediately forgiven, including the facist dictators who force fused millions of gems together for fun, the abusers' feelings get more focus than the ones they hurt. Remember how horrified Garnet initially was at the sight of the experiments? The writers must not have, otherwise they would've realized that the diamonds were too far past the moral event horizon to be quickly befriended and portrayed as Steven's quirky grandmas.
Jasper is the only exception to this and is the only character who faces any consequences in the show, despite doing the least wrong out of all the ex-antagonists. I think people tend to subconsciously demonize her to justify how unfairly the narrative treats her compared to other characters. She was born into the war, betrayed by Pink, trapped in a forced fusion, corrupted, and murdered but nobody in-show gives a shit, because.... she's mean?
