the whole “homeworld gems think fusion is gross, on earth ruby and sapphire are free to love each other” thing is so obviously a metaphor for homophobic oppression at this point in time that if you’re actually still arguing that THE GEMS ARE NOT GAY BC THEYRE NOT WOMEN BLABLABLA you’re missing 100% of the hard fucking work crewniverse put into making this show as affirmative to gay/bi people as it is
I also wanted to add a comment in support of this important commentary: Homeworld gems don’t think fusion is gross- they think fusion between two DIFFERENT gems is gross. We recently discovered that fusion between two gems of the same type is more commonly accepted ((albeit for combat purposes)). That furthers the analogy, and anyone saying otherwise is really discrediting the passion and effort the Crewniverse is putting so much work into, which is downright disrespectful.
