The idea that Pink Pearl was somehow broken or brainwashed into becoming White Pearl because she and Pink Diamond were too close to one another is absolutely horrifying but I think it’s a little hilarious that they tried to give her a new one to be more sensible or more robotic

You know, like the one who indirectly led Pink to start a war.

They made a replacement pearl that would be able to say “no” to Pink. We can see that CG Pearl was originally more like a babysitter, rather than the usual decorative-sidekick that pearls tend to be, with the way she jumps in front of Pink when Pink is trying to follow the Amethysts on their mission. It’s kind of really hilarious, actually, that in trying to give Pink a servant that would keep in her line by virtue of liking things orderly, they gave her a pearl that had a high capacity for individual thinking. 

Pearl was programmed to make Pink happy, and she was so “sensible” that she figured out how to do that by telling Pink how to bypass Blue and Yellow’s rules. Their entire plan backfired spectacularly. That is hilarious.
