But Steven's not like Finn. He's more like Aang from AtLA. Except he's not even really as extreme about it as Aang was.
Steven threw a minfridge into a monster's head in the first episode, and he didn't know it would come back, only that it was dangerous to his friends.
Steven advocated that they "have to fight" Jasper and Peridot because they were "mean" and they were hurting his friends, when Lapis said that they should just lay low.
Steven refused to shatter Bismuth, but he still acted in self defense when she tried to kill him
Steven shot the Rubies out of an airlock when they seemed like a danger to the Crystal Gems.
Steven does not shrink away from protecting himself and the people he cares about from forces that are trying to do them harm. The fact that he believes in redemption doesn't preclude that.
