Fandom Problem #11,020:
As a former conservative, the way the Steven Universe fandom reacted to the Uncle Andy episode pusses me off.
She portrayed a REALISTIC PICTURE of what most non-politicians who identify as conservatives are like.
She portrayed the CORRECT WAY to expose conservatives to new ideas and change their point of view.
Did y'all actually think screaming and demonizing conservatives was the way to make them change their minds!? No! That's how you play straight into the stereotypes they have about you! People are converted through kindness and patience! People are converted through SEEING THE PEOPLE THEY THOUGHT WERE THE ENEMY AREN'T ANYTHING LIKE THEY WERE TOLD.
Rebecca Sugar understands this. The fandom does not.
