They also stalked and harassed one of the storyboard artists for ruining their mineral lesbian OTP pairings, and drove her to quit the show and delete her social media.

I've seen fan bases do weird and terrible things to others, but it's absolutely disgusting how horribly these fans completely missed the message of the show they so zealously protect.

At least other fanbases still have some connection with the creators. Justin Roiland would drop into the Rick and Morty subreddit to hang with them and dick around. Toby Fox still enjoys meeting and conversing with fans of Undertale. Scott Cawthon was still teasing hints and stirring the pot among the Five Nights at Freddy's theorists. Even the craziest of the crazy Bronies still manage to book the show's top tier writing, music, and voice talents to appear an mingle among the crowds at their conventions. So as much as they get dumped on here on Reddit, they must still be doing something right.

Steven Universe? Not a thing. The show's creators have put an impenetrable barrier between them and the fans, they have dropped away from social media, and basically told the fans to fuck off. And honestly, I don't blame them for doing so.

I love the show, as much as I love a lot of other shows. I do fan art for tons of other things like games and comics and cartoons, and I do a lot of business with the denizens of the aforementioned fanbases. But no way in hell am I going to fish for business out of the Steven Universe cesspool.
