So it’s pretty clear Connie is a horrible fit for Steven and even someone like Spinel would be better, right?

Even if she loved Steven she still wouldn't except the marriage proposal because SHE'S 15

*accept

No. She would have. She doesn’t love Steven and never will. Pretending their relationship has a future is pointless

She’ll reject him. He’ll turn into a worm. She’ll talk him down and realize he needs her. He’ll follow her to college where he’ll just live well because Greg is rich and so Steven doesn’t need a job or school. Then he’ll enter into a codependent relationship with Connie and turn into one of those pompous sensitive hipster dicks who wants for nothing and tells everybody how to live. This will be explored in the next limited series: Steven Universe: Warrior.

You don't see that Steven is in the wrong for proposing to a fucking 15 year old?

Either she wants to marry him or doesn’t. It’s important to find these things out now rather than waste years being with someone who will never take that step with you

She obviously doesn't want to marry because SHE'S FUCKING 15! SHE ISN'T READY FOR THAT TYPE OF COMMITMENT!

And Steven is. If Connie doesn’t, that’s fine but he shouldn’t waste his time with her when he can move on and meet someone who is willing to commit

Steven is in a terrible place mentally and has made mistakes he wouldn't have done otherwise. Why do you think that it's because of love and not a last resort to keep connie

She’s about a year younger than he is. People that young have married for hundreds of years. It’s only been in the last few decades that the social rules have changed, and only really in the western world, in particular in America. I mean, I wouldn’t have done it when I was that age, but it’s not really that unusual.
