i think i finally figured out what irks me so much about steven universe. the fusion aspect is so unbelievably creepy to me. an entirely new person is created by overwriting two individual beings, and once the fusion is over that new person simply just... ceases to exist again??
It's a representation of love, be it familial or romantic It's comparable because the ones involved usually have to have a huge level of trust in one another There are several episodes that show what fusion represents for the characters in the show
