I mean, the counterpoint could be that her spending all that extra time underground made her gem more vulnerable to cracking

One of the Dove self esteem PSAs had a good line about that Jasper spends the segment yelling at and abusing Amethyst for being too short and too small, and Amethyst shrugs it off saying the way she was made was "abnormal" but no worse than anyone else

Then they yell "Cut!" and Jasper reveals she was just acting for the sake of the commercial and apologizes And asks "How do you stay so calm under pressure?" Amethyst replies, "Pressure made me who I am"

Amethyst's original life story was defined by wandering alone in the Kindergarten for thousands of years but her part of this movie is about how all that is behind her now because she's found her family

(There was some mixed messaging with that too, like she's never fully gotten along with her chosen family of the Crystal Gems and they gave her an arc actually showing that meeting her "biological" family, the other Amethysts, filled a void in her life)

Yeah, it's one of those things where they make it resonate with a narrower set of people by going too far in exploring it Which could probably be said about the show in general, it necessarily slams the door on a steadily increasing number of the ppl it had invited in initially

There was definitely some fun resonance with Amethyst's emotional attachment to the Kindergarten All her nostalgic memories of growing up isolated and alone in an accursed blasted wasteland
