Only Girls Like It What the heck! I am a boy and me and my brother love this show! It doesn't mean that most of the characters are girls. The show even is my number one show I am watching in cn. If your a steven universe hater then realise that this show is the light for cn and probably is the only cn series with action this is the only series in cn which is thousand times better than any other show such as the today cartoons (ppg reboot or even Ben 10 reboot) and an the remake of Teen titans and even if I ask all the boys my class at school they will say Steven universe is the best all of them said that not even one disagrees. I watched the finale of steven universe (Change your Mind) and it was the best I have ever seen. I can tell that this show is not only for girls but for boys I love every song from steven universe and the plot is great so I am a boy and what I tell of steven universe that it is the greatest show I have ever seen and I love watching their episodes everyday so I tell Steven ...more I'm a girl, but honestly, the show feels Anvilivious (got that from Tvtropes) and j.t, "Made by women, for everyone! "



Cartoon Network had many shows with female characters. They had the Power Puff Girls (original is the best though), Winx Club, and Adventure Time. Obviously I cannpt remember anymore. I don't watch the channel nowadays.



I don't mind any character. If it's good, who cares? But SU uses one trait, and then bases the character over that.



All in all, this show is just feminist rhetoric. I don't mind, as it's better to make your show than to ban others', and I will express my opinion, but I want to see how they feel when this inappropriate show is banned. Ok so Cartoon Network FINALLY makes a show that has main characters that are female, and suddenly, that's an offending move towards makes?!? Seriously?!? You can't do anything without offending someone somehow. Quit making something out of nothing. I know plenty of boys who like the show. If you want to complain about something, do it about something that actually deserves complaining, like TTG and other crappy spin-offs and quit trying to bring down good shows. This isn't very true, but what I will say is since it's a gay lesbian show...it makes ALL males in it look stupid. I'm a girl, and yes it bothers me how ALL the gems are girls-what the hell is wrong with making some male characters important? Most of the female gems bother me because it's like none of them act like normal people. I get their aliens but their flaws cross the limit too many times.

It's Made by and for SJWS SJWs pervert the valid insights of both the political-economic theories of Marx and the critical theorists. They adopt post-modernism to attack the beliefs of traditionalists (who ought to be productively and legitimately criticised where necessary) yet play the reactionary when they feel like it, assuming a pre-modernist certitude in their parroted positions. It is not even that they are all talk, which they are when they talk at all, but their talk precludes almost any actions worth taking; their actions are mere diversions into LARPing the rebel protagonist against the successful and willful of the species (men and women of any race--their intersectional tripe invoking the no true Scotsman fallacy: you are Bourgeois, you are enemy now, and no longer belong to your "oppressed category."



All great minds came from the bourgeoisie of their era: luxury affords brilliance; the point is to spread the opportunity and the capital for the benefit of all individuals.



Shows like ...more Fat this, lesbian that, "the gems have no gender but they look like girls" aka non-binary bull. It's as if Tumblr turned into a haram anime that turned into a cartoon and some dumbass threw it on T.V. without even looking at it.



The only good part is that the PC asses actually made something and designed it instead of demanding it be changed. But I hope someone has a problem with it and complains to the creator just to see how it feels to have your work demonized for having it the way you want it. Started off good, then it tapered off into pandering for the LGBT community. Kids don't care about your identity problems, they want distractions from their own problems. Idolizing characters from this series will only further alienate them from their peers. No excuses for bad storytelling and animation. Haha all these people getting triggered over the nonbinary gems on the show...We're just gonna ignore the fact that most shows are strictly heterosexual? Oh, we are? Alright.

Rose Kind of Replaced God God himself had Jesus by falling in love with Mary? God is a gem from another planet? God can be destroyed? There r others with unique powers that matches god out there? Someone ruled over god? what? Wait so does that mean The Diamond replaced Satan? Kill this stupidity before it reproduces That doesn't even make sense

It Ripped Off Teen Titans Go! Whoever wrote this needs to be banished to a dark oblivion.



The superior show that is Steven Universe is nothing like that pile of crap you call Teen Titans Go. Why would Steven Universe rip off a show with not even a 5.0/10 star rating?

Comparing this show to that insult is disgusting. So you're saying Steven Universe is worse than Teen Titans Go? Worse than annoying songs and twerking? - IceBearRules They're polar opposites. How could they rip each other off?

It's Overrated All the fans are horrible with defending it, saying it's the best show ever...what? Are you serious? Clearly you have not seen classics like Ed Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, American Dad (I know it's an adult cartoon but most of the people who watch the show are adolescent-adults so...) At least those shows made me laugh and understand the morals! Steven Universe is way too complex and serious for the young audience it's meant to appeal to. The fandom...like I said ugh...the only reason many seem to like it is because it supports "gay rights" or whatever. Saying it's "the only show with a gay couple"...please! That is in no way true whatsoever! Modern Family *cough, cough* Even Courage the Cowardly Dog had a lesbian couple so Steven Universe fans-live your life but don't bash on others because you don't know your facts! Look, it could be a great show, and while I admit I haven't seen much, it's too late for me to even try getting into it. Either online or even in real life, the show is /everywhere/. I can't even get in a week of school without hearing about "gemlings" or stuff about the character Peridot. Sure, it might have cool concepts, but the spoilers were left and right and the fandom's frankly revolting these days. If it wasn't so overhyped and overrated, I would of considered watching it. While Adventure Time and other shows have gotten high attention for sure, Steven Universe's has grown to a ridiculous level. Trigger Warning! Easily Pissed off Liberals Avoid!



I do not like this show, sure it is overrated, but the inclusion of LGBT characters in a children's show is inexcusable. These children are not yet old enough to understand natural (Straight) Sexuality, so why shove LGBT sexuality down their throats?



Just to clarify, I have no problems with the plot. Honestly it is kind of interesting, but not my cup of tea.



Steven seems like an interesting character, but would get his ass kicked in a standoff with Krillin!

The characters rely to much on the rare "Deua ex Machina" moments when Steven obtains a new power and uses it to "save the day".



I would compare this to "Super Saiyan from Dragon Ball Z, it strays cool but then becomes so common it has no meaning. People think, "Oh hey, look! There's a new show about this kid with undiscovered poweres! " Only to find out, that he sucks at fighting, and, the episodes never really follow each other, they just kind of float out there. Plus, after a major event happened that had affected the enviorment, they never really picked up where the damage was put down, just, sweep it under the rug, no one will notice. Finally, to my last point, Steven's background is never really explained in-depth enough for the veiwers to really notice anything, even if they did, they wouldn't notice a major difference.

The Fan Base is Annoying Yea, I can agree with this one. A girl on Tumblr drew the characters differently than how they really looked, and others told her to kill herself! Why? Because she made Rose skinny? I'm glad she lived. She literally tried to kill herself. That girl actually drew Rose correctly! Rose was supposed to be skinny, not fat like a pound cake (or whatever they call her) because Pink Diamond is skinny and Rose is Pink Diamond! I'm an avid and total fan of Steven Universe, but I gotta agree with this. This girl on Tumblr made Steven Universe drawings of characters that looked nothing like how they did in the show. I see why they were mad, she stripped the characters appearances of what they really were, what they symbolized: that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. But at the same time, the fandom...I mean good lord, the hate had no end. Yeah they can be evil, but there are fans like that for everything. I personally DO get pretty upset when people insult Steven Universe, but saying that they don't like it is totally okay. But I HATE it when people make those lists about why it should be cancelled. And the hate on fan art has to stop. I agree, the fanbase is the most disgusting fanbase ever, I mean, look at these people defending steven universe, their grammar is using uppercase for every beginning letter for each word, oh my god.

Boring and Unfunny Wasn't there another thing on the list that said it was unfunny? So this is basically the same thing? They show all these weapons in the theme song, but instead we get to see Steven whining about why he can't get a certain type of donut. - BlueTopazIceVanilla The person who wrote this is boring themselves THIS IS ACTION-PACKED sure some episodes are boring but most of it is AWESOME Well its sorta funny but yes it is indeed boring like the connection between Lars and the geek NO ONE CARES

It Insults Us Men 1. Having strong female characters =/= an insult to men.

2. Many of the things that influenced SU were created by men, such as Dr. Slump and The Simpsons.

3. Rebecca Sugar, the creator of Steven Universe, worked on Adventure Time, a show with 2 males as the protaginists. Stop whining. It may not have many male characters, but the ones that are there are amazing. Example: Greg Universe.

By that logic, We Bare Bears insults women. As a woman I say this is not very nice for my gender as well, both men and woman! All the men on the show are losers and all the woman are either asexual or lesbian (Modern Family gay is one thing but Steven Universe is too far and for being a kids show I don't like it) How does it insult you. Does seeing a group of badass women give you shivers? Most of the cartoons these days feature male characters. It's only fair to see women in a show.

Steven is Fat I bet this is coming from a person who says bullying is wrong, Hypocrite. Anti bullies say that it doesn't matter on the outside, and then we have THIS. People who support this as a reason to hate a show is just mean.



And Anon's comment of the first episode, Steven wasn't showing off his "fat body", he was upset because a company he liked stopped making cookie cats. Then, Lars said "If you love Ice-cream so much, why don't you make some with your MAGIC BELLY BUTTON *laughs*" then Steven replied "That's not how it works, Lars! … Right? " then touching his stomach. It was a treat he liked, not food in general. The gems bought some for him after hearing they weren't making them anymore, so they got all of them. While Steven was eating one, his gem glows. Later that day, the mother of the monsters that attacked them earlier was found at the top of the gems's house. Steven brought the treats with him to try and help. However, it didn't work.

So, he kept eating. Steven is adorable just the way he is. And it isn't his fault. His dad isn't the skinniest and neither is his mom. As a matter of fact, she's huge, and beautiful. Yeah he makes mistakes sometimes, but he learns from them. The gems think of him as Rose. They know that one day he'll master his gem and be outstanding inside AND out. If you didn't listen to your parents, they'll be mad and punish you, but they'll still love you no matter what. I don't care if he is fat, but he is honestly annoying. He doesn't listen and they love him anyway, he gets in trouble and they love him anyway. And his dad is so stupid, he never watches him. Not to mention Steven only worries about food and stupid things. The episodes have no emotional or moral (of the story) values to them. I think he could be much better if he weren't so annoying. All the gems do is rescue Steven all the time. What the hell. Do you expect Steven to be a Barbie doll? Just because somebody's FAT doesn't mean that you should hate them. That is just STEREOTYPICAL and PREJUDICED, to judge somebody by their weight. Steven is an adorable, sweet, caring person.

Malachite Was Disappointing I really expected Malachite to get half of a season. I like Jasper, hate lapis, so the fact Jasper got part of the season dedicated to her made me happy, but really, they couldn't have made Malachite's existence as a villain instead of a "I'm here. Just sitting underwater." longer? She had ONE EPISODE where she was a threat. Sigh That I can agree on, and have reasons explaining why. And how she defuses is so silly and redundant (I'll explain more of that later) Yep

The Contenders

Opal is a Lesbian Fusion Honestly Opel only happens when Amethyst and Pearl absolutely have to fuse 1. Amethyst isn't lesbian.

2. And technically, Pearl isn't, since she has no gender.

3. Even if she was, why does it matter? Homophobe alert! Homophobe alert! Pearl and Amethyst are genderless,idiot.

The Gems are Weird Looking To me, it's not that they are weird looking. I just personally don't like the designs. Have you see some fanmade designs? They have more intriguing concepts and good design shillouette in my opinion. I'm so sorry but visual aspect is also a point that makes a show good. Some people like story more than visual aspects but some others like visual aspects more, and who are you to say that because you like story aspects more than visual, you are somehow better than other people? The character design in the show is astounding, the show was even nominated for an award regarding this. I must respectively disagree on this, simply because "weird looking" is no way to describe (in my personal opinion) the gem designs. Everyone in this show other than Steven is really ugly. I don't get why people like the design of everyone. I get that they aren't supposed to look human, but still, can you make them at least tolerable to look at? Ok some of em are kinda weird but that does not matter at all. Most of the gems are cool and not ugly and even if they were than that is NOT a reason to hate.

It's Not Exciting Okay, whoever wrote this hasn't seen the new episodes. The show goes nowhere. The characters haven't progressed since the start of the show. The action tends to be boring since it rarely evolve from brute strength battles. "Okay, whoever wrote this hasn't seen the new episodes."

This just really implies that the half first of this show was objectively unexciting. The show's designed to get you invested in it's characters and how they evolve. It's a drama mostly. I can see how that's not everyone's cup of tea.

Long Hiatuses These hiatus's have taught me to be more patient even though I am dying on the inside. Cartoon Network is the one in charge of the shows schedule, so you can't really blame the show itself, but the amount of hiatuses this show has gone on is ridiculous. No one wants to wait three months for an episode about Ronaldo role-playing as a Crystal Gem. - PanicAtTheHurricane This doesn't have an effect on the quality of the show though, so I personally don't believe it should be on this list For the animation guy, every single other show on cn ever doesn't have a crappy schedule like steven universe. Its not a reliable show and I don't find any qualities about it that I care about.

Steven's Voice is More Annoying Than a Crying Baby. This is the BIGGEST reason. I absolutely hate Steven as a whole. He acts like a loser crying for his gem mommies to come help him. In real life I feel like Steven would be the kind of person who cries when they don't get what they want and can't stick up for themselves not even in the slightest. His voice is so high pitched it sounds like Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks with a helium balloon. I don't think Steven should be compared to a crying baby, it is an insult to babies worldwide. Babies cry because they have no other way of communicating that they need help and are physically incapable of helping themselves, while Steven can do ANYTHING (with his supernatural powers) and he STILL acts like a toddler. This SJW show should be cancelled. Actually, Steven has a deeper voice now since he's matured. And he has a really nice singing voice. But the voice actor now has to be really high pitched in order to get Steven's voice right which is quite annoying. I think this is what drives me up a wall. Clearly you haven't seen the later episodes of season 1.

The Songs are Boring The songs come from the heart. These days, all the songs are about drugs and sex, and totally meaningless. In one episode of "Teen Titans Go," they were singing about burgers and burritos. And not to mention their song about different pies? I LOVE the songs. They provide emotion to the show and really set the mood. And "Stronger Than You," got SO many awards! Personally, I think that these songs are well written, and I love them. But we all can have our opinions, but if I were to find a song I didn't like in this show, I still wouldn't find it boring, as they all have meaning we can relate to. Well At Least Those Songs Are More Entertaining To Listen To Then To Hear Stupid Trolls Like You That Are Constantly Complaining About The Shows That Aren't Even That Bad. You can make that argument about anything. This is so whiny. Plus, don't cap all first letters like they are names - superbubble The score is so bad. It doesn't even convey the tones of the current scene correctly. If there's a fight scene, they'll insert some happy sounding bs song. THAT'S NOT HOW SOUNDTRACKS WORK! If there's a fight scene, epic music must be played along with it, or else it will not look good. For an example of a good soundtrack that emotes correctly, look to the star wars movies.

Two Characters are Gay Ok seriously? I cannot believe that I have to type this comment. Its retarded that no one really pays attention to rebecca sugar explaining and answering questions about the show. The gems DO NOT have genders. Rebecca sugar stated that the gems do take on female appearances but don't in fact have genders. They do have gender specific pronouns but do not actually have a gender. They are sentient morphing rocks. So they don't actually have lesbian/gay relationships. Its not possible for them to have sex since they don't have genitals. They literally use giant machines that shoot specialized minerals into the ground to mass produce the gem race. So they don't have gay relationships. They are only illusions projected by their gem. Their bodies are merely holgrams with mass. Rocks don't have genders. So they are not gay. Okay true, the gems are gender less. But the children don't know that, they are gonna think the gems are females, just saying that their gender less does not change the fact at all that this has a gay agenda and I honestly think kids should not be watching this. Other than that, I love this show and it does empower women but the homosexuality is not to my liking. Honestly, the LGBTQ community needs to stop enforcing their ideas to people. If I don't like homosexuals that doesn't make me a homophobe, it just shows me how religious/spiritual I am. Who cares if you are religious people can be gay or be lesbians if they want. Okay, what?



The person below me has commented that Ruby and Sapphire "Look like little kids" and are "too young for that stuff". Gay teens and younger kids exist. Hell, I'm one. Second, how does this make Rebecca look like a "feminazi"? She's not saying all men are bad and disgusting? Literally all she did was put a lesbian couple in her show and have the other characters accept them. How is that bad? I'm not homophobic I swear but geez ruby and sapphire look like little kids and too young for that stuff considering they're half the size of most gems and I don't know it just weirds me out. It puts the show in a bad light and makes rebecca look like a femenazi to be honest

It's Not Really Funny I totally agree that the jokes aren't funny! The only show on cartoon network that makes me laugh is the amazing world of gumball, since being a 13 year old boy, I can easily understand the jokes. But with steven universe, it's just weird stuff I don't understand. The show does have a little humor but the show is supposed to be serious and also make you feel something and you wont get it watching one episode.its you also have to watch them in order Shut up you insufferable, half-formed, traitor mega clod! You ruddy muddy clump beneath my gravity connectors! The humor is awesome! But thus show just isn't all about humor. I read this and I couldn't stop laughing. Have you even seen it? It can be funny at times and serious at times, sure it can make you laugh but really the theme here seems to be serious and less funny.

Steven is Annoying Sure, he can be annoying and is also a total dumbass, but he's also brave and compassionate, and is willing to fight to the death to protect humanity. He shows that you don't have to be smart to be a good person, and that's what I enjoy about him. - RoseWeasley I wouldn't say he is annoying, but being able to integrate his child's perspective effectively while demonstrating development in character is something that the show has not always done well. One example of this is the writers refusal to give him solid consequences (often enough for them to matter) and allowing him to fail (at some things). Instead they insist on bubble wrapping him a little too much in the later parts of the first season to current. He therefore doesn't have to learn as much as he has a kind of special treatment. They also seem to make him too chatty at times where silence is more fitting and he never gets called out for any of it, even where he spouts ridiculous notions. He's 14 but is still carried around like a baby. He bursts into tears over the littlest things. His voice. He's painfully stupid. Steven should of been a side character connie should of been the mc - Psyluv

The Disturbing Episodes It does have a few, like the one with the uncle grandpa crossover. - SamuiNeko Oh boy as a fan of the show I mist agree there are some moments that make me uncomfortable Someone had to add this! I started to try watching this show but even within the first season beginning episodes, they must have scared away a lot of people. I mainly am talking about Frybo and Cat Fingers, Cat fingers is just nothing relevant to much of the plot, and it's all about Steven wanting to shapeshift into a cat. This goes horribly wrong and he loses control, and he almost DIES basically, his whole body is turning into a blob of cat heads that Steven can't control. Luckily he has a great dad and he saved him with his carwash! Then there is Frybo, the more disturbing one to me. Steven finds a missing shard that pearl needs to find, when looking, he helps his friend instead putting it in a mascot named Frybo. After not too long, Frybo goes crazy and starts grabbing people, holding them still, and shoving handfuls of fries into their mouths almost choking them. Then end up killing him and ripping out the shard but they almost didn't Literally the only thing on this show I dislike, and there were only two and they're both in the first season.

Everybody is Overpowered Pssh, please! Buddy, chum, pal in the beginning it may seem that way but as the show progresses you get to see that all the gems know what they are and not capable of. They also have weaknesses as well. To be frank with you this is, ironically, one of the rare shows that are HUMAN. It shows how people can change and have to accept things for how they are and that everyone has their limits and weaknesses. You can't deny that we're all human here we, make mistakes, but we can learn from them and either become stronger or weaker; it's your choice. Overpowered? Ha! How much of an idiot can you people be? If you knew half of what this show was about, you'd know that each of the gems are aware of their weaknesses and boundaries. It's what makes them mentally strong. Actually watch the damn show in its entirety before you criticize it. Yeah I agree, but Pearl DOES have and inferiority complex, so I guess in a sense, they have emotional weaknesses. Not really, I would like you to tell me one character that is overrated

Too Many Filler Episodes There's so many filler episodes on beginning but it slowly stops on other seasons after Giant Woman. I think its just going to a good way on next episodes. There are no filler episodes, there were only the 'say uncle' episode that wasn't cannon but we got to learn how Steven uses his powers Well I mean I agree with first episodes but...watch season 2/3/4/5 - Panta I couldn't even get past episode 13. My ex tried to get me into it but its just way to boring.

Too Much LGBT Content I don't understand why people are having this "don't shove it down our throats" mentality like the LGBTQ is a thing your child is and will be surrounded by it. It's better if they get used to is now instead of having them confused when they see two men or women together because you blocked them from reality. This show's targeted audience is young teens and if your an adult watching this you should be over it by now, you don't have to accept it but don't be but hurt by something that doesn't effect you I don't care what people are. But this is a children's show. Y'all ban videogames for violen ce, but romance and other things are fine in a kids' show? Not putting characters like these doesn't create hate, but shoving these characters in your faces does. Also, the comment below, with "straight white conservative" as an insult needs to quit reading msNPC (See what I did there? ) and needs to actually know his/her boundaries.



This is a kids' show, and putting content like this isn't progressive or liberal, it's indoctrinating. Oh no, a children's show portrays characters that don't appeal to homophobic hate that has caused many killings and dramatically increased suicide rates from certain groups? What ever shall the high class, hateful, straight white conservative do?! What a tragedy! The lgbt propaganda in this is very annoying even found a article on the internet titled steven universe made me gay or something like that

It Has Bad Design The design is amazing! The artwork is beautiful and the gems are diverse. Who wants a team full of stick-skinny superheroes and a stick-skinny main character? What are you talking about? Steven Universe has amazing design! Especially in Ocean Gem, with the space scene. Art is amazing story bland decent how fast it ended the show should of followed lars more when he was in space thanks to the show being all about steven the story seemed to force the plots to put him in each scene the side characters saved the show is it worth rewatching probably not - Psyluv Diversity means nothing. Both Mad Men and City of God are excellent pieces of media, and both are non-diverse in two entirely opposite ways - Mad Men is mainly white, City of God is mainly black or African-Brazilian. You can't just slap some skin colour on a character and call them good, for God's sake. - liliputian7
