It’s really easy to forget sometimes that gems have more in common with computers than they do with us, but what if gem corruption takes that one step further

What if gem corruption is Data Corruption?

On multiple occasions, we’ve seen the physical forms of both gems and their constructs glitch out

It’s not just gems either. Steven corrupted those Lil’ Butler tapes in Maximum Capacity when he saw Amethyst turn herself into Rose.

There’s some pretty hefty evidence here that Rose’s powers may have caued some of the homeworld gems to corrupt, but she’s not alone.

Homweorld had gem disruptors and force fields that directly caused gems physical forms to “crash” which I doubt is very good for them either. Actually, Steven himself has never glitched a gem’s body, only Holo-Pearl and Lapis’s water clones.

If anything, these things are far more dangerous
