this show is on a whole other level
It weird how people reblog this and just accept it as some ‘deep’ quote without even challenging it. I’m not saying this because I feel like Pearl is mocking my humanity personally but because we know for a fact that the gems have very prejudice views of human.
The crystal gems see humans as inferior to them and you see that throughout the show. They don’t bother to learn the technological, try to understand their lives, or even the laws require to live with them. Everything about the human lifestyle is either weird or beneath them so why bother? The only personal interaction the gems even have with humans is usually because of Steven (either because he wants to go to a fair,festival, play volleyball or etc). So, with that being sad why do people seem to trust Pearl views on human society. She has never really bothered to learn about them in the first place, so where is this ‘profound’ information coming from.
To me this doesn’t really come off as deep. Instead I say it shows off a flaw in the gem’s character. This whole spill sounds like something about a group of people you don’t think highly of another. “Why do they do the things they do. Oh, it’s obviously because they have nothing better to do with their lives”
