I will forever remember the reputation of "Kids don't be racist" it was so hated on for no reason

[@LoiterYT]

I mean... there was definitely ONE reason... yknow, the racists not liking it

[@KalinTheZola]

I used to be more right wing and listened to right wing youtubers at the time who hated the videos. Even back then as a SU enjoyer I was confused on what the issue was. Needless to say I am no longer right wing and ngl that was one of a few wakeup calls lol

[@HyperScepterOfficial]

@@KalinTheZola Few left wing people hated it too iirc because it didn't portray how racism works realistically in our society today

[@KalinTheZola]

@@HyperScepterOfficial ngl that's a bunch of cope on their end lol

[@HyperScepterOfficial]

@@KalinTheZola It isn’t tbh. This isn’t how racists act like irl, 1600s-1980s definitely, but we’ve come a long way since then. Nowadays people like masteroogway who make extremely insensitive comments while dismissing them as “jokes” are the most common form of racism and the shorts don’t even hint at that. Dismissing any and all criticism of the shorts as “racist” is just ignorant.

[@kayquevianna9204]

The first one gets trashed on so much, but i absolutely love it

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Let us know what other Steven Universe related content you'd like us to react to! I also figured this was a great opportunity to wish you guy a happy belated Juneteenth and a Happy Pride Month!

[@jojonugget1530]

It’d be so cool if y’all did a reaction to “ The Smothering “ ! It’s a fanmade Steven Universe AU project that revolves around the concept of a “ Momswap “, which essentially entails everything being the same except instead of Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl being Steven’s primary caretakers, they’re replaced with Peridot, Lapis, and Jasper. It’s about 11 minutes in length, which is about the length of your average Steven Universe episode.

[@mazzevano394]

There's a really good fan animation! It's called White Diamond vs Green Diamond, it's by BlooZStella

[@FlyingPotatoChickens]

You should really check out the official SU Movie documentary that came out with the DVD, it’s called “Behind the Curtains: Steven Universe the Movie”. Dunno if there’s a legal way to watch it besides the DVD, but a fan did upload it in full on KZbin.

[@SaveoYousif]

Memories of a diamond, it’s from phoenix prime

[@CaliforniumEra]

Have you guys watched the shorts yet? There are ones that take place during Season 2 and 3

[@jojonugget1530]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIISSS !! god, i remember when people meme’d the “ black people can’t marry white people !! “ bit to high heaven when these PSAs were originally being released.

[@w_aleed0]

3:52 HAD ME GAGGED LMAOOOOOO

[@weirdgamer1594]

"DON'T.BE.RACIST"

[@love-of-fiction]

The audience applauses!

[@Bread16091]

“Yes, Garnet,” we all say in unison

[@WepcapStinkhorn]

Percentage of racism drops like hell*

[@caitrose2198]

Pearl does NOT stand for historical revisionism lol, remember that episode where mayor Dewey wrote a play about the founding of Beach City and she rewrote the whole thing bc it was inaccurate?

[@JoeSnoe126]

Rest in peace Teresa Smith

[@Domi_Nique811]

It enfuriates me how the Pearl and black history is still relevant today as people are trying to erase histories such as a black samurai. Also the list of "inventions by white americans" goes way on by apropriating immigrants (the telephone) or foreigns (the airplane).

[@HyperScepterOfficial]

Imo it always bugged me Pearl acted so self righteous as if humanity is leagues behind her own species given she comes from a race of being who were far more prejudiced for far longer than humans canonically existed in the SU verse.

[@Ari.x22]

8:56 ur giving me hope

[@Haylo-1209]

as a black mixed child, i learned and experienced racism at the early age of 7 and still experience it almost 10yrs later, racism bothers me a lot and it’s very frustrating especially since it’s everywhere, and the it’s everywhere yet not acknowledged and that’s annoying

[@mazzevano394]

Hi! I loved this video, they used Steven Universe's charcters in a very clever way! As for a fan animation, I recommend White Diamond vs Green Diamond by BlooZStella, I always enjoy your reactions so much!

[@khloeydixon4778]

I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU... GARNET!!!!

[@khloeydixon4778]

Also, if you're looking for something else Steven universe related to listen to/watch you should check out Steven universe Future rewritten by kiwi queen 13. It's so good 😊

[@kenwiljulius74]

😎☝ Don't be racist Appreciate y'all and the discussions sm!

[@ikirbeeburgr]

40:54 What if it's a fanfiction that makes you go "it's so funny how Weird this is"

[@jupiter1289]

I was wondering why it has 10 views until I checked the upload date

[@Ari.x22]

YAY YAY 🙌🎉

[@patrickkh1245]

29:08 lol!!!😭

[@20000dino]

You should do a video checking out Steven Universe fan content on KZbin. I’d personally recommend the YTPs Rock Bottom and Rock it Out, though there’s tons of other great ones out there! I’d recommend doing a community post asking for more recommendations :)

[@Isabella-tu9fb]

Did you react to the other ones that they did with the same animation

[@HugeGarnetFan]

Have you watched the SU Dove adverts?

[@SputnikSpyglass]

Yep we watched them in the shorts video!

[@HugeGarnetFan]

@@SputnikSpyglass oh i forgot😅

[@justinehercthehuman]

Indi is right tho. Mixed marriages aren't really that controversial for racists to be against, they're more lowkey about it which should be the ones we're talking about. Gay marriage tho? Oh that's more realistic.

[@KalinTheZola]

I mean, not really? Some are the kind of racists who also want a "hot Asian wife" (blek...) but that tends to be dudes. As someone who's afab and grew up socialized as a woman in the Bible belt south? And is white??? Whoooo boy let me tell you. My mom had to sit down with me and explain that she doesn't care who I end up with but warned me if I dated outside my race a good chunk of my family would disown me. Ofc I didn't care. I hated most of my extended family anyways, and that didn't help matters.

[@KalinTheZola]

Oh and I remember when a cheerios ad came out and people in my state were in an uproar because it depicted an interracial family. This was several years ago but dude, I was only born in the 90s.

[@justinehercthehuman]

The first one is just too funny despite actually having a clever end. Those first lines of the kids were just too out of pocket 😂. This is not how kids talk and they should have said something more realistic to what kids would say irl. Though I get the point but still, using something extreme makes it a bit odd, people already downplay the actual racist things people say.

[@KalinTheZola]

Ngl I heard kids saying stuff like this growing up but it is important to understand I grew up in the south and those kids are parroting what they've heard their parents or other adults say.

[@kenwiljulius74]

That's just the line for the PSA the kid was supposed to say as an actor. I think they're showing how the original writers of the PSAs didnt consult with experts and that their ideas of anti-racism were outdated and not how we are talking about racism as something pernicious and systematic that can't be solved with a love everybody attitude. That's why Amethyst had to stop the "don't see colour" talk. And Pearl's PSA shows why the writers aren't up to date: they don't have a fuller perspective on how this works because education and other systems don't engage racism like that. It's a PSA within the PSA, teaching people who don't think they're racist (the film crew) how that isn't enough/not how this works, and that you must actively be involved to be a true anti-racism ally.
