Shattering Pink Diamond was a bad thing for the same reason Bismuth's plans for Home World were a bad thing - it's a horrific form of Gem ''murder'', and Steven had always believed that Rose was far above taking lives in order to solve problems. But not only did Rose take a life, but sure enough it did not solve anything and in fact has only made things ''worse'' since all the major villains now (Jasper, Yellow Diamond, Blue Diamond) took Pink Diamond's death as motivation for their horrible actions in the name of vengeance for her and spite towards Rose. That's the issue Steven takes with this whole Pink Diamond thing. Taking the life of another living sentient being is bad by sheer principle unless it is in self defense or absolutely warranted, and so far nothing has convinced Steven that the situation with Pink Diamond made murder necessary. |

Well if you don't like being challenged that way, sure. I personally think it's clever writing to show us horrible things done by these individuals who make up "the enemy" that make us perceive them as "evil galactic conquerors" and nothing more, but then throw a curve ball at us by showing that they're, for lack of a better term, human too and have reasons for their actions that we might not have ever considered before, all while not trying to make us think that their actions are in any way okay and they don't need to be stopped - they aren't and they do, no question. They're still the bad guys, but not everything about them is 100% bad just like far from everything about Rose Quartz was 100% good. |
