      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. 🙄

      your thoughts are good thoughts and these are good points. even if we just consider anakin in a vacuum and leave the comparison aside, the Anakin Is Good Actually angle bemuses me greatly. Compare his arc to, say, Zuko and it's clear Anakin didn't really Do The Work.

      But as soon as we bring in gender then YOW the discourse is very discourse And Rose/Pink is an amazing example of that. We don't get many women who are ALLOWED to have that kind of... complexity in their flaws, and without shying away from the damaging impact of those flaw?

      yes! and honestly I think a big part of it is, we're discomforted by social justice origin stories where the person starts out in a position of privilege. and for good reason! but there's still something to unpack there about how we're conflicted about those trajectories.

      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.

          explicitly, I'm talking here about white women and white queer folks of all genders. pink diamond's transition to rose quartz is problematic, but realistically so. she fucked up a lot and made a big mess, but her worst sin arguably was lying about herself and her motives -

          - & I think, somewhat ironically, that ends up being reflected in people who get really goddamn vehement about pink and rose (and thus rebecca sugar & SU as a whole) being The Literal Worst because of that reveal without acknowledging their own SJW trajectories as human & flawed
