It's one thing to reveal that a main character's a lesbian. It's another to reveal that a main character's actually been a lesbian romance all this time. That's an epic reveal, whether you're for LGBT or not
Well, homoromantic romance, at least. Wiki says that gems don't really have proper piping. Which raises questions as to how exactly Steven came about, but w/e
i guess the gems can fuse together to form other gems and Garnet turned out to be such a fusion (all fusion gems seem to have 3 eyes, hers were hidden until now with a pair of rad shades) of two gems who are in love and stuff idk i havent seen it

Pfah.
As we all know, the true route to queer acceptance is to have a 60-second scene hinting at lesbian romance with plausible deniability, at the very end of a poorly written show kids don't watch.
apparently somebody made a joke about SU fans calling themselves "gemtlemen" and it got telephone-style transformed into "the bronies will take over everything and draw porn of everything and when you google steven universe you will see nothing but porn and every child in the world will literally die" which has led to some truly incredible posts: http://shimmeringeyes.tumblr.com/post/113819085498/to-everyone-in-the-steven-universe-fandom-a-plan
From what I can understand, the people who set up Equestria daily were gonna set up a SU site, and then SU fans were like "Eww, no, bronies, and their toxic masculinity" people took this to mean that the porn of MLP was the issue, but other people pointed out how it's unsafe to search anything MLP without finding porn, and kid's shows should at least be kept SFW searching.

I think I saw maybe one post about it on tumblr and said post was just a screencap of a tweet that one of the people involved in SU's actual production made.
I think at some point we're more looking for reasons to feel vaguely "above" fans of the show than we are anything else.
Which really is the reason I've complained about how over fandom drama I am in the first place.
Between this, people getting on each other's cases over their opinions on To Pimp A Butterfly, and this faux-controversy over Hotline Miami 2, I'm really starting to wonder what it is with art that brings out the absolute worst in people.
At some point the conversation stops actually being about the media in question and starts being this weird game of intellectual posturing, it's just dumb.

I'm not going to read this because I do not want to feel more depressed about the state of art conversation in the world today than I already am at this moment.

It's quite literally the word "gemtlemen" and an accompanying SU-related reaction image.
I just wanted to point to the number of notes more than anything.
it's just someone reacting to "gemtlemen" with a gif of Garnet rolling out of a van
that seems completely apt a reaction to me if the person who posted it was under the impression it was actually a thing someone had said.
and really is the entire thing so unbelievable? It's not like there isn't a track record of insecure men trying to come up with stupid nicknames for themselves relating to their fandom of some kids' show. "Brony" is just the only one that really caught on.
I always thought that was silly because places like Toon Zone exist
They're not alone by any means
There is an overwhelming desire to reframe oneself as a persecuted minority in situations like these.
The reason the term "brony" exists and the reason this uproar is happening are the same. It's also the same reason GamerGate exists and the same reason white hip-hop fans whine about tongue in cheek articles that poke fun at them.
There is some fundamental kink in human psychology that leaves us apparently unable to discern when we are not "the little guy".
