not saying steven universe doesnt havs its faults but i personally find comfort in the idea of a fantasy universe where abusers can change and acknowledge how they’ve hurt you. fiction has always been a form of escapism and while its perfectly fine and good to be critical of the media you consume i feel that a lot of people miss the integral part of steven universe in that it doesn’t play by our rules. its nice to envision and be a part of a world where violence can be met with love and kindness.

its nice to see media that handles being gritty and difficult topics with the right mix of positivity and love. you can yell all you want about how it doesnt make sense, how it wouldn’t go that way, how some things are unforgivable, but at the same time, sometimes escaping into a world where things do work out and hurt doesn’t have to keep happening is nice.
