a thought occurs (Steven Universe)

Sadie miller

is a really fucked up character, is creepy as fuck, and needs to be punished

there was an episode back in like season 2 I think where she abducts Lars and Steven in an attempt to emotionally torture Lars into falling in love with her

mind you this same plot was used in an episode of the show We Bare Bears but with a MAN doing this to a woman, and it was correctly portrayed as horrifying and wrong purely on the man's behalf there

whereas in Steven Universe it largely seems like the show was trying to say both parties were at fault, which is bullshit for many reasons

for starters Lars is terrified and crying the entire episode and Sadie feels fucking great about herself

second

it's been confirmed that Sadie is a grown woman (by both her mother's confirmation and a refference to her no longer being in school in show)....and lars is still in Highschool

so she straight up abducted two children in an attempt to seduce one of them

 

nothing lars did in this episode was equivalent to what Sadie did, and with what we now know about sadie....it's even WORSE on her behalf
