OK, can we all agree that having a parent throw a child in a closet as punishment is a form of child abuse ?

I'm pretty sure what we just saw here was child abuse as Stevonnie wasn't sent to Pink's room but to a small room with no windows in it...a.k.a. A CLOSET!

What we witnessed here was not a faux pas committed by a member of the Diamonds but the Team Dad (Yellow) toss a child into a (relatively) small dark room because the Team Child (Steven/Pink/Lasanga) came out in front of the White Pearl...who I'm pretty sure is no longer White Diamond's proxy but puppetmaster.

It's starting to become more clear who the real despot is in this empire and how she is using the tallests and strongest people in the empire to ether inflict physical abuse (Yellow) or emotional abuse (Blue) using the worse kind of abuse: Psychological.

Think of the most common countries where a dictator operates. There was a joke for about a few years (until 2016) that Fidel Castro was still the leader in Cuba because his brother Raul was doing some "Weekend at Bernie's" thing.

Personally, I didn't know Hugo Chavez (former President of Venezuela) had died of cancer until like a couple of years after he died. Even so, there were accusations that the United States had send CIA agents to poison him.

What we need to remember is that Homeworld is under despotic rule, the leaders are worshipped as goddesses, and to offend them is to offend their god. However, this empire is crumbling, and no matter what propaganda is being spun, it doesn't pardon the fact that Homeworld is dying, the leadership isn't just corrupted but abusive, and the person on top is being manupulated by someone who by their society's standards is somebody from the bottom, but rather than go public with the revolution Pink Pearl (who is now White Pearl) kept it on the down low and rules with an iron--or rather diamond--fist.

Whatever happened that caused Pink Diamond to swap Pearls with White Diamond had to have been justifed and while Pink Pearl was being repaired, something went wrong and the creation killed its creator but rather than get away with murder, she created a FAKE White Diamond to take her place to still enact authority throught her avatar.

Go back and watch. White Pearl is not in the same room as White Diamond. Some Wizard of Oz stuff is going on only instead of a humble wizard hiding behind the curtain, a corrupted servant has usurped rule of Homeword and for thousands of years imposed expansion of the empire through out the galaxy to exploit and consume the resources of other planets, some of which had life on them...

And the Earth is next.
