What the entire actual fuck is wrong with Democrats?
(hexbear.net)
What the fuck level of cult of personality even is this? They're writing fan fic about their fucking overlords. What the fuck I cannot emphasize enough what the fuck?
Because they're removed enough to where politics is, as others have said, a show. It's Steven Universe. It's West Wing. It's Harry Potter. They want all their favorite characters, good and evil, to have a showdown or hug it out or otherwise resolve their conflicts so Harry can smile as he sends his kids to Hogwarts and know that all is now well.
I imagine this person thinks of Trump as a Palpatine sort of figure of pure evil, corrupting young and misguided Vance, who can still be redeemed and returned to the good, liberal light at the end of Act III.
I just realized something: Their fanfic is the millennial equivalent of saying "we need a strong Republican Party."
putting Steven universe in the same message as Harry Potter and west wing is horrific, did the show getting cut short really fuck up people's reading of it that much? the authors apparently Word of God said that the genocidal dictators were never meant to be "forgiven"
Let that be. Alesson t you - have your characters shoot the bad guy in the head and watch him die on screen so no one libs out about your show.
The writing was fucked up, not the reading. It's good, but the last portion of the series dropped the ball with the theme.
well, yeah, but it was definitely not the original intent for the series. I'm pretty sure I heard it got cut early, maybe I'm wrong?
It was pretty rushed and so they didn't really have the diamonds take responsibility for the lives they destroyed for their empire. It was more focused on the family issues.
The diamonds weren't forgiven so much as had their records expunged so they could sing songs for the movie.
It was never realistic, but there was a distinct lack of average gems confronting the diamonds for their actions. The diamonds work to restore damage, but they can only do so much given the massive violence inflicted with thousands of years of imperialism on a galactic scale.
