"No, I'm sick of people using a cliche that's been done to death and needs to die. And..no. Just...just no. The sword doesn't cut both ways if the sword's owned by beings such as the Homeworld Gems. I repeat: THEY'RE ASSHOLES! Who cares what they think of the Gems that actually care about perserving life?! And for the record, I don't NEED to see full-on appearences to know that they're monsters in their own right. From what the show's given us, both through dialogue of the Gems and the subtle hints that the show's given us, we can easily assume that they care little for other forms of life due to their immortality and near indestructible bodies. And frankly, I'll take those who are evil in the eyes of a callous race over those who are evil for their own personal gain."

Great job on not being shortsighted, great job! . . ..

Equality and fairness would like to see how the Homeworld Gems see the CGs. If the HGs turn out to be evil then they're evil but if they have an actual reason, then that's something else but that doesn't make it any less bad to humans. Yes, we can ASSUME that the HGs are evil but that doesn't make them actually it. I'm not talking about specifically the HGs here but often times those who are seen as evil by a callous race is often times just misunderstood and often times right on point.

"Really? Because by the looks of On the Run, the Homeworld Gems seem to be thriving just fine! If this is what they did to one canyon on Earth, imagine how many times that has happened on other planets. Yeah, a REAL dying race!"

How was showing a canyon with holes indicate that the HGs were okay? There is always a reason for this things, they don't just do it without a rhyme nor a reason. You haven't read much comic books have you? Or any alien shows? Because there are actually some aliens that destroy planets to keep their own alive, granted this may not be the case for HG.

"Lapis gave no indication that she was sent to Earth to do ANYTHING. If anything, she sounded like she despised the idea of Earth. The only time that wasn't the case was when she was with Steven. And even then, he can bring out the best in anyone! My best guess is that Lapis was a rebel even by Gem standards and was not only exiled, but sealed in the mirror as punishment for an as of yet unknown crime. And the cracking of her Gem was no doubt because she tried to escape said punishment."

If Lapis was a rebel, why'd she want to go home? Also, she said "Are you really a Crystal Gem? (to Steven)", "You three knew I was in there, and you didn't do anything. Did you even wonder who I used to be?!", "I'm Lapis Lazuli, and you can't keep me trapped here anymore!", "They're not going to let us leave."  the homeworld gems didn't really put her in there, the CGs did.

"And as for Peridot, notice how one of said robots hounded on her leg like a dog. Indicating that they love her to some capacity, otherwise why would the writers put that in? Besides, am I seriously the only one who's pro-robot around here? If Star Wars and Futurama can have robots worth caring about (Star Wars in particular comes to mind as inspiration for the show itself), why can't this? And lastly, what compromise? The stickers Steven put on the Warp Pad? What kind of compromise is that?"

ಠ_ಠ

Why would the writers put that in? To actually make her to break one. If she stomped on a perfectly good condition robot she would be seen as very evil. Destroying a broken one was more practical. Uhm. . . Hooray for you for going pro-robot? The compromise was Steven's sticker. Peridot had no idea what the sticker was and is, she took no chances. Even GAP have a hard time with earth related objects and they have been on earth for hundreds of years.

"And if you STILL don't believe my side of the story that the Homeworld Gems are equally as evil, note that it took them THIS LONG to try repairing the Warp Pad for Earth."

So because they took a long time to repair a warp pad means that they are evil? I am so totally convinced right now.

The CGs had destroyed the Homeworld warp, so the robots had to take the LONG WAY to get to earth. And by long way I mean dart across space like Lapis did.

"So that gives Homeworld Gems the right to potentially disrupt the balance the Earth for their own gain? My problem's not that it's the law for them (though I SINCERELY doubt it's some backwards law), my problem is that it's no excuse for what they did."

It gives them no right to destroy us but we also don't have a right to tell them what to do. It's all a matter of perspective. Morality comes into play here, but I'd rather not dabble in that.

"Frankly, what the Homeworld Gems have done is anything BUT innocent! See the aforementioned paragraphs above for proof of that. And note that I said that they were jerks and a-holes, not outright evil. They just a little Steven Universe-style persuasion to have them see things differently. And for the record, I will CONTINUE to see the Crystal Gems as good for not only protecting the Earth, but also showing that not all Gems are insensitive towards other beings!"

Good that you have your own views but don't immediately deny others of their own because they don't fall in line with yours. I see how the CGs are good and will always be fighting for the greater good and that the HGs are evil but I also see the other side of the coin of how the CGs are the ones that are wrong and the HGs are just misunderstood. Continue to have your views and let others have theirs. Difffering views and opinions only really become a problem when one or more parties try shoving their ideals down other peoples throats. If you're so sick of these views and see people posting them, at the very least try to understand where they're coming from. Don't just jump on the "they're wrong" train because you want people to see things the way you want them to see. And these are all just theories, they're one up from a hypothesis but they are not facts. It's ok to believe in different things.
