In regards to Steven Universe's "racism" problem, it's important to note that the co-creator of SU is Ian Jones Quartley, a black man, who also co-created the characters of Sugilite and Bismuth with Lamar Abrams, another black man.

Funny how Lily never brings up Quartley or Abrams when demonizing Rebecca Sugar as this "racist Nazi sympathizer".

Well, Lily's weird mentality here isn't an isolated incident. It's often the basis of a lot of fandom harassment be it to a whole creative team or just the creator/showrunner. Even when it's within a franchise subject to the whims of corporate oversight.

I made a post about it here: https://matt0044.tumblr.com/post/765687831922425856/the-showrunning-scapegoat-a-troubling-fandom

That's not even getting into Lily leveraging the whole "white people can't write people of color" mentality onto Rebecca Sugar to discredit her. Yes, there are social factor that give white writers more than a few stumbling blocks in crafting character not like their ethnicity.

Except that people of color did have a say on Steven Universe AND that Estelle, a very famous singer and Garnet's actress, gave her input too. There was communication and consultation here. But Lily just can't let go of her grudge.
