the bellcurve of justin’s character voices is fucking wild to me. This man went from a full 10 in intensity to just a normal dude then back to 10 but in the other direction. His power is terrifying

Just for the sake of information, the daughter said this when she was 15. And has since apologized and changed her views.
She said something else too about how reverse racism was real. If I understand correctly this was all while living under his roof. When she got out, she became educated and changed/apologized.
Take that as you will. Totally understandable if people don’t trust her.
reblogging again with this. I’m sure multiple people have confronted her about that pic above, and this was her response. timestamps are from this year!
Hey we gotta stop thinking people can’t grow or change, and we gotta encourage those that do so that they continue to grow and CHANGE.
She was literally raised by a man she herself claims to be racist so this behavior isn’t surprising, but the fact that she condemns him now clearly shows she was able to grow outside of his influences
I was thinking about why Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond is so hated.
The obvious answer is because of the horrible things she did.
But the other diamonds did horrible things too…worse things even.
Pink abandoned Spinel, which is wrong, but Spinel was planning to kill every living thing on Earth to spite the son of a person who was no longer even alive. Yet, no one talks about what a monster Spinel is.
So many Steven Universe characters have hurt people, but we forgive them and are happy to see them redeemed.
So why not Rose?
Then, it hit me: because Rose’s redemption arc is told to us in reverse.
The first time we see Rose is toward the end of her life when she is pregnant with Steven. We see her appreciation for life and how full of love she is for Greg and her future child. She’s willingly sacrificing herself to bring a new life into the world.
But then, we start learning who Rose used to be, all her mistakes, all the people she hurt.
The loving mother in Steven’s video becomes a distant memory.
For those of you who hate Rose, imagine her backstory unfolded a little differently for us.
We’re introduced to Pink Diamond: she’s spoiled, bratty, immature, irresponsible, and inconsiderate.
She throws temper tantrums when she doesn’t get her way.
Not exactly an endearing character, right?
But one day, her tantrum injure Pink Pearl, her best friend. From that day on, she keeps everything to herself. Now we see her dealing with a consequence of her bad behavior.
Then we see how she’s abused by the other diamonds. We start to sympathize with her.
We see her try to save Earth. We see her trying to do the right thing for once.
But it backfires horribly.
She spends the rest of her life trying to fix it, but she can’t.
She meets Greg. Here is where Rose has the most emotional growth as a character. She learns what is truly means to be a “real person.”
Finally, she grows such an appreciation for human life, that she decides to sacrifice her form to bring her son into the world.
The reason Rose is so much more controversial than other characters who have done problematic things is because her story is told in reverse, her redemption comes across as a fall from grace.
But there are plenty of characters who have a fall from grace who are still not as controversial as Rose. The reason why many people are less sympathetic to Rose is because we never see how Rose reacts to her mistakes. We never get much insight into how Rose feels about herself and the things she’s done. We get small hints:
For everyone who hates Rose, I get why. But I think we need to remember who she became instead of who she was.

You survey this bullshit unfolding from behind your FENESTRATED WALL. It’s obviously a massive waste of time.
Now facing SOUTH, you pause to marvel at the beauty of your office wall mural celebrating the works of Andrew Hussie. You had it commissioned some time ago by a promising young artist. Best $11,000 you ever spent!
You figure as long as you’re chilling at your computer you might as well see how that new MSPA story is going. You haven’t looked at it in a while.
