Fusions are literally meant to represent romantic relationships

no

Yes. The only reason why people think fusion is a romantic thing is solely because of Garnet.

Going off the logic it represents only romance makes things fucked considering Steven has fused with his entire family minus his uncle

It's super inconsistent. It means whatever they want it to mean depending on the situation. Peridot doesn't want to fuse? It's sex. Steven and Greg fuse? It's not sex.

>is solely because of Garnet.

There was also the whole Peridot will not fuse with anyone because she's supposed to represent asexuals, which makes no sense if fusion isn't supposed to be sex.

Autistic people really don't understand human interactions.

I feel as though the notion of fusions equating to romance or sex is based in so little evidence in the actual series. People just saw the provocative dances in the early episodes and based fusion off that and never really let go despite the show not really supporting that concept the more it went along and the more fusions were revealed. I mean what symbols are really presented to determine fusions as innately sexual and or romantic aside from the early dances and Garnet. I always found it to represent relationships in general based off how they were described as well as Stevonnie and Smoky Quartz existing at all. I mean I could be wrong if there is anything consistent backing up the idea that fusions are only romantic or sexual I’d like to hear it

What's wrong with incest? Barring of course problematic inbreeding and underages, the act itself is sightly different to having sex with a stranger.

>anything consistent

The problem is there's no consistency. It just means whatever they want it to mean at a given time. I again point to the whole Peridot thing where her refusal to fuse is supposed to reflect asexuality and aromantics, but with fusion not actually being sex and romance, it means she's anti-social instead.

It's just an inconsistent metaphor that means whatever they want it to mean.

I don't think theres anything wrong

>she's supposed to represent asexuals
Says who?

dumbasses on twitter

Both of those are relationships of some kind. Are you autistic?

>>fusions are literally meant to represent romantic relationships

Except that clearly it doesn't. (Neither romantic nor sexual.)

Steven + Greg is not romantic.
Steven + Amethyst is not romantic.
Steven + Pearl is not romantic.
Pearl + Amethyst is not romantic either.

Word of God, specifically Maya Petersen, a show crew member.

>people gave a real explanation
>that user thinks everything has to do with trans people and damage control
I hate this already

They're just relationships in general. Steven fused with Amethyst, and their relationship is clearly treated as that of siblings.

If you want to go that retarded route of reasoning that the gems are Steven's cousins/siblings/aunts/whatevers, then be prepared for the copious amounts of incest that entails.

She didn't write the movie now did she?

They are all romantic. The entire show is stealth swinger propaganda.

The crew line about Peridot not fusing because she's "asexual" was retarded and I doubt they thought about the nasty implications created by that claim. It's well-established in the show that fusion is all kinds of relationships, not just romantic or sexual. What kind of relationship the fusion is is heavily implied in the dance or interactions leading up to it.

Objectively BASED

>romantic
nah. But man, do I miss the sensual dances.

They never went into explicit detail as to why fusion is possible and why it was taboo in the eyes of the Diamonds, or maybe just White Diamond.

>why it was taboo in the eyes of the Diamonds, or maybe just White Diamond.
Pretty obvious. White Diamond's whole thing was that all germs must serve their intended purpose, if two different gems fuse and become a "new" gem, they violate that. That's why 3 rubies fusing together is fine (they're doing it to fulfill their intended purpose - to be good bodyguards), but not Ruby and Sapphire.

I still don't get the rules of fusion and how two gems come together to make something completely different. Ruby & Sapphire are both precious stones, both corrundums, but when they come together it makes garnet, a much lesser stone? That's dumb. It should be be Ruby + Sapphire = Purple Sapphire or something like that.

Yeah logically I guess, but Purple Sapphire is a retarded name.

Kind of what the other user said.
In a society with a strict caste system any form of lateral movement is egregious. You are born into the roles you will fulfil until your death. If you are born a ruby you die a ruby, if you are born a pearl you die a pearl.
The act of fusion isn't taboo. If 2 rubies fuse they're still a ruby. If 2 pearls fuse, they're sill a pearl.
Take Garnet for example. That's like taking your lowest rank private with no insignia and instantly promoting them to general.

Why is it retarded? They have 4 diamond colors and like 100 Quartzes. It would fit in just fine.

Then why is Leridot considered asexual because she doesn't want to fuse?

There's nothing wrong with incest. Only when there are minors involved but that goes for any relationship.

What's wrong with pedophilia?

Google it.

Edgar Allan Poe was a pedophile. i think
And he was a hero.

It's more that there's nothing wrong with casual sex incest between consenting adults. Lots of inbreeding will lead to problems. But in this modern age of decent condoms and birth control there's no reason why it should be totally fine. Some states in the US are even totally fine with it from a legal standpoint.

Except sex doesn't have combat/form changing powers. He fused to save his friend and the world, seems a little more important than OH ICK GRODY NOT WITH DAD.

it's been shown to negatively impact the victims as children and as they grow up

Tranny has become the new popular word for "person I don't like", like cu.ck, onions, etc before it.

shut up tranny cuck

>He fused to save his friend and the world
Not really on the second part since he absolutely failed in that respect. But thankfully the poison didn't destroy the planet.

Well, he was attempting to save the world. You know what I mean.

given how all gems seem to have been derived directly from the fluid excretion of the Diamonds, I would guess this also adds to the dangers of fusions undermining their society. The Diamonds are literally the queen bee/ants of their society, and all gems have a pretty strong reason to serve their direct mothers.

Fusions are blasphemy to their culture because, from what we've seen, fusions create new life, arguably separate from the Diamond's will. All singular gems are directly linked to the Diamonds, while fusions are separate from the Diamonds by one generation; kind of like grandchildren in a human perspective.

Fucking hell Sucrose, why couldn't you wrap up this juicy fucking lore with the last 10 episodes. Guess I'll have to wait like 5-10 years before she gets off her ass and publishes a comic continuation or a definitive lore book or whatever, assuming CN would even let her use what is probably legally their show, not hers.

i didnt know this show could get any gheyer. Disney is smart to end a show at 2 seasons.

There's nothing wrong with it in fiction. There is a problem with it irl

Fusions aren't actually the gem they're named after, they generally choose the name based on resemblance to another gem or category of gems. Garnet, for example, chose her name because most garnets look like this.

no

Was the double dick shadow intentional?

Considering Peridot lacks the ability to shapeshift, and ability that so far most era 1 gems seem to be able to posess, maybe she and other era 2 gems are incapable of fusing?

Either that, or she's just not into fusion since there's really not a reason to fuse. She's rarely put into danger to warrant its usage for combat and although she appears to have bonded with characters like Steven or Lapis, once again, there's really no need for them to fuse outside of randomly in their leisure

Why would it be a problem in real life? The act itself, of course, not the side unfortunate crimes that plague it (inbreeding, molesting children, and others).
