Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond is basically a reverse Anakin/Darth Vader - went from bad to good, instead of the other way around - and yet is the more reviled of the two in discourse. I wonder why.

like, of course we want privileged people to unpack their shit and understand oppression! but they still come at it from a different place, and just by virtue of upbringing and being a person, they (we) will have initially been complicit in some bullshit.

I think a lot of people get so angry about the pink diamond reveal because she reminds them of themselves - of *ourselves*, those who are contextually privileged along one axis but oppressed along another, who have tried to do better but still have roots in social privilege.
