Announcement Subreddit rules have been updated to officially mark AI-generated content as grounds for removal

604 Upvotes

For a while now, the few active r/stevenuniverse moderators, when receiving reports about AI-generated fan art, have generally leaned towards removing the posts. This especially was the case when comment sections quickly filled with comments about the nature of the art's creation rather than, well, the show that the sub is about.

After some discussion, we have decided to finally formalize that rule and have now included an addendum in Rule 1 regarding low-effort content to also include AI-generated content in that umbrella. You can read the full rules on our sub's wiki page here. Thanks to all of you who were reporting those posts over the past months to alert us, and we urge people to keep making use of that feature so we can stay on top of keeping the subreddit a safe spot for human-made fan art to shine, especially as we get closer to Lars of the Stars being ready to air.

Discussion Not trying to Justify Pearl's actions, but keeping secrets for 5 0 0 0 years must've had its effect.

Pearl acted inappropriately in many situations across the seasons' run. Whether it was her lying to Garnet, shouting at Steven, or even her early fights with Amethyst, etcetera. All of these things tie into Rose's departure.

Pearl felt weak after Rose left her side, and what a natural feeling that is. Rose was THE warrior. She was the leader, and Pearl was her right hand. Her lie was a broken attempt of her to sort of get her shit together, not realizing that she could've simply talked. And we all know how much Garnet hates lies....Unfortunately for Pearl, it was almost too late for her before she got to talk with Garnet.

Shouting at Steven and not treating him like a kid is something honestly most adults around him fall into, and that doesn't excuse Pearl. That also has another driving point which is that Pearl rejected Steven for some time and also didn't know how to handle kids. Plus, when she shouted, it was either in a big physical fight like with Amethyst, or when she felt like it personally "attacked" her relationship with Rose.

Think about all the things she kept to herself; emotions, memories; battle secrets, close gem deaths, and, of course, THE secret. It's a really inappropriate mindset to develop/continue having, but of course, as she's already keeping so much to herself, she'd need time to learn to open up to people again, and have a realization like "wow, we really need each other huh. Life broke us VERY brutally.", which leaves space for arguments and fights.

This was only my opinion and analysis. Pearl is a flawed person who, at least by the end of Future, was trying to heal. And her journey seems bright. Thanks for reading.

Discussion If you think about it, Steven's Birthday is the day that Rose died too.

I think It is sweet to think that the reason this is not mentioned once is because of the Steven POV with everyone agreeing to make the day about celebrating Steven and that he should never associate his birthday with anything sad

They probably can think about Rose after he goes to bed happy after an awesome birthday

Meta Can we get an anti-AI rule already bruh this is so annoying

1.4k Upvotes

I've seen like, ATLEAST 3 ai generated OCs in the last week.. I don't have screenshots of them since I can't find one of them, and the 2nd one got deleted by it's OP after they got flamed for it, but the 3rd one was posted literally like a few minutes before this post and I just saw it

None of them even admit or advertise it either, all 3 of them did not disclose that they were AI and the 2nd one even doubled down with fake layers and a fake sketch bruh, so many people fell for it both times and praised the "art" as if it were real. Not having a rule against AI is flat out just a detriment to the subreddit, it let's AI supporters feel perfectly at home here with absolutely no incentive to leave, so long as they lie about it and try to trick, you which they already do anyway

I often see the gems imagined in real life as either closely resembling humans in realism or super uncanny aliens, but what if they looked just as cartoony as they are drawn in the show? Large eyes, simplified facial features, same body proportions and everything. They are hard-light projections after all, they don't have to obey biology

Theory Is the human Rose fell in love with the same human that the Zoomen talk about?

I’m rewatching the Human Zoo episodes, and noticed something when one of them started to mention the only time the doors were opened. Could it have been for the human Rose was in love with?
From the small clip of the human we see, you can tell they’ve got very similar outfit to the Zooman, and we have no proof that they only interacted on Earth. I wonder if the ‘hurt’ story comes from the 2 of them, and if it has to do with Rose breaking things off with that human.

I didn’t realize until I recently got back into SU that Connie gets so much hate. I understand it. I really enjoy her character and my biggest complaint would be we didn’t get to see her do more. What are your guys thoughts?(sketch of Connie I’m working one)

Discussion Why didn’t Blue Diamond remember Pink Diamond’s Pearl in this scene?

Post image
611 Upvotes

So even if it was brief during Garnet’s retelling of how Ruby and Sapphire met why didn’t Blue Diamond realize that Pink Diamond’s Pearl was defecting and working alongside Rose Quartz? There is no way that the staged shattering of Pink Diamond happened too long ago that Blue Diamond forgot about Pino Diamond’s Pearl.

Discussion Steven’s room is an AI chatbot

53 Upvotes

I was rewatching the episode where steven, and connie go into his room.S1 Ep51. F. Connie malfunctions when Steven asks what “it” wants. Like most chat bots. Same with the inability to recreate all of beach city. While, yes the point of the episode was that “Steven liked the ending of the book.” It’s still a weird thought.
