How come whenever there's a chance that a female/female-passing character has romantic feelings for another female/female-passing character, people are always quick to say that they're just "very close best friends"?''' Literally every single time? 'It's starting to get really,  really'' unsettling. I've seen people do it to Ruby and Sapphire too. Like, imagine if people looked at Rose and Greg, and Lars and Sadie, and went, "I think that they have a really deep, platonic love for each other. They just intensely love one another as best friends and nothing more."

The only difference between those pairings and this one is that it's never outright stated that Pearl had a crush on/was in love with Rose, so I'll give you that it's not confirmed, but it's hinted at just as strongly as any other ship. I'm not saying that you have to ship it or look at their relationship like that, but people have got to stop denying that it's there! I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, this has just been happening a  lot and I feel like something had to be said about it.
