If the su fandom was personified what would they look like?

Your post about the steven universe fandom is great! People need to be aware that this stuff is happening so we can work to stop it and collectively tell people who are harassing others inappropriately that it's not ok.
Anonymouswell jsut telling them isn’t going to work because the writers of the fuckign show have said it many times and it hasn’t worked. THe only way to make it work is to participate in the drama and be civil about it. stay calm and stick to facts and call out every bit of bullshit the bad fans do.
you can still like a series without associating with a fandom, like how a lot of fans of mlp refuse to be called bronies. a lot of the Bad Fans(tm) are young teens and are still learning, unfortunately this website gives them a platform to publicly harass people and get other people too as well. ignore the fandom and the series will become more enjoyable
Anonymousconsidering there’s no term for a steven universe fan other than a steven universe fan, I don’t think that is applicable. the only way to not associate myself with the fandom would be to stop participating in theories and fanart and just watch it as is and as someoen who loves theories and making fanart, that sounds boring to me. Also, doing that would be a variation of the no true scottsman fallacy. I’m not going to deny the fact that I am a fan of the show and participate in making fanworks and ignoring the bad of the fandom doesn’t work, trust me. It just makes the fandom as a whole seem worse because denying that these things are happening within the group seems like it’s condoning their actions. I do not under any circumstance condone harassment so I will not ignore it or act like it doesn’t happen.
if you hate the su fandom so much why do you associate with it at all then?
Anonymousbecause no matter how shit the fandom is, the show is still pretty solid and the bad fans are a minority, like most fandoms. I’m not gonna try and pull a no true scotsman fallacy and claim they aren’t true fans. I’m gonna actively call out their bullshit.
How bad is the su fandom?
Anonymous- they ruined a small business which happened to share the same name as one of the businesses in the show by leaving fake reviews in reference to the show
- barred the brony fandom from “joining” because they thought it would “taint” their fandom with porn (despite the fact there’s been porn since gem glow because that’s why it’s one of the rules of the internet)
- they harassed people to near suicide because of fucking headcanons on three separate occasions. (one time was because an artist drew rose skinny, one was because they drew one character as human and didn’t make her black and one was because they shipped pearl and mayor dewey)
- they harass cosplayers who don’t have “the right body type” or “the right skin tone”
- they frequently harass the writers because the writers call the bad fans out and say that people are free to have their own headcanons and interpretations and that people are free to cosplay whatever they want.
- they accused rebecca sugar of being racist because bismuth
- and most recently they harassed one of the story board artists off of twitter because she says people are free to ship whatever they want.
Do you think the SU fandom would change their behavior in the end future?
Anonymousnot until they either get the show canceled or harass the writers to attempt suicide.
You've obviously didn't hear jasper literally screaming "your diamond, pink diamond" to steven for you to actually believe rose is still pd
Anonymouscould be her accepting steven isn’t rose quartz which would mean steven, as a crystal gem, would still have served under the former pink diamond. we’ll never know though because she then became a fucking furry
