what happened to stevie u

hello! it's me, your friendly neighborhood su critical blog! su used to be my favorite cartoon but then everything changed around s3. ask box and submit are open! 

[bitter-bismuth]

people were talking about su critical on twitter and saying shit like “if you spend all your time making fun of/blaming the crew for bad art theyre gonna see and youre gonna get blacklisted in the animation industry” and all i can think of is applying as a storyboard artist for a show in the future and having a questionnaire to fill out and theres a checkbox like “have you ever had or do you currently have a su critical blog”

They’ll hire ppl who draw child porn to work on their shows, but if you ever said Lapis Lasuli’s color scheme sucks you can fuck off mate.

[bitter-bismuth]

thats how it is in this bitch of an industry

Someone: I don’t really think SU was that g-

Angel-Baez crawling out of the sewers to spout their unwanted opinion for the 300th time in a row:

[bismuthspartnerincrime]

Hip SU fandom things:

Telling someone to die for saying the show is bad

[siobhanblank-deactivated2019011]

It’s time for Stanly Entropy fans to be systematically oppressed.

[sucritical]

i still can’t believe that grown adults are so upset about criticism of their shows that they feel the need to make it a part of their episodes and dialogue

[bismuthspartnerincrime]

“OK KO vagued su criticals because they used a star wipe at the end”

uhm. Unless i missed something here, that doesn’t really add up?

[bismuthspartnerincrime]

HA NEVERMIND i was completely wrong, turns it was more than just a star swipe. Honestly this lesson actually could have been decent commentary about how it’s wrong to jump down people’s throats and tell them to drop something for liking something that has problems, because they ARE significant and special to some people (unless it’s killing stalking, you can choke).

Ian using a his own cartoon to not so subtly tell people to get over SU’s harmful elements and come back to the show and start “appreciating” it is probably one of the most pathetic things I’ve seen from a children’s cartoon. I really cannot think of another cartoon that went “Hey stop hating on this other cartoon despite is glaring issues with racism and making it’s non-white audience uncomfortable. You’re all jerks for not seeing the positives”.

 Especially since he used a damn episode about racism and discrimination (something the crewniverse has faced a lot of heat for) to make this point.

me: minding my own business youtube: 

the comments of this video i didnt even bother watching: 

[sucritical]

its genuinely concerning to me that there are adults that are entering the animation industry/preparing to enter the industry that get incredibly aggressive the second that something they like is criticized

[sucritical]

and also kind of related- there’s nothing wrong if your favorite show is subject to criticism. instead of pretending like issues are not present, look at why people are criticizing these shows and use this to create better media. i know this has been so many times but if some of you want to go into the animation industry you have to understand that there will always be people who will criticize your work. I don’t want to deal with another generation of cartoons with crews that can’t handle any type of criticism/maintain any type of professionalism.

i was looking for some other people to follow from my main and there was one blog that had in their description “stalked by 6 su crits” are we seriously still doing this

[sucritical]

hoo i havent posted in a while

[013742985679]

ok im in the mood to talk about that concrete apology thing um….

1. so it was two different people who drew the character then wrote the description….. why isnt the person who wrote the description coming forward and saying anything like why are they hiding behind the person who drew it and staying anonymous instead of also coming forward and apologizing

2. who the hell was in charge of the art book?? like how long does an art book take to be published like is there no reviewing or double checking or what??? like nobody saw that and thought…”hey this looks like a racist 1920s cartoon” like im confused on how this even happened in the first place

3. the people on that post who were like “finally they apologized now we can pretend this never happened racism is over!! please stop not liking my fav show!!!” are annoying think critically for once

[aurous-android]

I’m glad that Lamar and Rebecca apologized n all, but a) that doesn’t mean that black fans/crits were wrong for disliking it; b) no one is obligated to accept any and all apologies; c) apologizing doesn’t mean it’s excusable and people can still dislike it; d) it does more harm than good to hold content creators to a deity-like status where “they did no wrong” and “we should be thanking them instead of criticizing them”

[peridontlikethat]

rebecca and lamar outright stated that they realized concrete was a racial caricature in their apologies and people are still saying shit like “how is she black if shes an alien though?”

[elliexer-moved]

Rebecca finally posted an apologize on her twitter

[iaintkissingnofrog]

It’s annoying how whenever a fan of colour/ black Steven Universe fans say something in the show is racist all you annoying fucks say ‘if it was racist we wouldn’t have Garnet uwu ’ Garnet isn’t a get out of racism free card

[siobhanblank-deactivated2019011]

Garnet’s not even a good character anymore so what kind of excuse is that?

[melanchole]

not to sound like a repetitive asshole here but honest to GOD cishet girls/women are some of the most toxic ass people in fandom spaces i have ever, EVER seen.

whether it’s 17 year old girls fetishizing their precious sin babies and wishing they had a korean boyfriend because of exo and bts, or 27 year old women with steven universe icons pretending to be “fandom moms” creating excuses for children to be shipped adults, opening up gateways for pedophiles to groom these baby 13-14 year olds under the guise that “in (x) show (character) and (character) have a 10 year gap its no big deal!”.

cishet girls will constantly either infantilize gay/trans men or oversexualize them. they only care about bisexual men when they’re in a relationship with another man, and when said bisexual man is in a relationship with a woman they get so fucking nasty it’s appalling. cishet white girls feminize asian boys for the sake of their yaoi and turn black and latino men into these beasts for their fetish fiction.

and then they have the absolute NERVE to dismiss criticisms of themselves under the guise of misogyny, as if there aren’t wlw in fandom spaces that know not to pull this shit, as if there aren’t trans women and woc in fandom spaces that know. not. to. pull. this. shit.

i understand why when you hear “cishet” you immediately think of a cishet man. but it’s time we start being unapologetically critical of cishet girls in fandom spaces as well.

between this and the chola bodysuit i think instead of an artbook i'm looking at a racist bingo card
