my aesthetic:
kids cartoon show that starts off as goofy jokes and no consequences then slowly transforms into an incredibly rich world with complex characters and emotionally devastating story lines
There is a reason Gravity Falls and Korra couldn’t get away with intense lesbian stuff that Steven Universe did. It’s because Gravity Falls and Korra had HUMANS as their characters.
Remember, gay and lesbian relationships can’t be shown because Russia and China will ban the network. And the differences between male and female humans is pretty obvious. You can’t redub Korra to claim Asami is a guy. But the Gems in Steven Universe are pretty Gender Neutral looking. Heck, the only identifier of Ruby and Sapphire being lesbians is they both use female pronouns.
So all it requires to air in Russia and China is swapping Ruby’s pronouns to masculine. Tada, instant straight couple. So while you celebrate lesbians in Steven Universe, remember that it’s because they’re aliens with swappable pronouns and no gender differing traits.

son-ofthe-bat-blog asked: I can to your blog to see if you had addressed my reblog of your post and saw your latest thing. I'm really sorry that you're getting hate but uhhhh..... You have no "evidence" that they identify as girls man. You're actually going against what the creators said. How is that evidence?
the evidence is that Ruby (you know, the person who is in an intimate relationships with sapphire) says “I need to find her” and Jasper yells “WHERE IS SHE” before running into the room from where Ruby came entered.
I’m getting hate for bringing evidence that show Sapphire and Ruby might identify as female.
