Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-26949737-20150705063149

Okay, before any of you jump right to the comments and hate on this, please just bear in mind that this is only my first forum and that I'm fairly new to the Steven Universe Wikia. I don't blame anyone on the Wikia (just Tumblr, a.k.a the site parents haven't ruined yet), honest. I keep hearing a bunch of people who are calling her some perfect innocent little angel who did nothing wrong ever. I'm not going to supply anything with evidence, otherwise this would be a "Lapis is bad" forum. Please, if you're going to comment, be polite and gently share your opinions. This isn't for debunking, just a discussion. If you treat me like a young/full-grown adult, I'll treat you like one. If you like Lapis-- if she's your favourite, that's fine with me.

What I like about her

I found it funny that, while trapped in the mirror, she messed around with Mayor Dewey, repeating the flatuence noises that Steven made.

Of course, her sacrifice. But I kinda cringed at how she said "I'm tired of being everyone's prisoner! Now you're my prisoner!" Only due to it sort of also meaning "I'm sick of everyone prisoning me so I'm just gonna imprison myself"

Her decision to protect Steven and the Crystal Gems by warning them about Homeworld, despite what the CG had done to her.

She's blue. My favourite colour. (Then again, there are blue characters I dislike)

What I don't like about her.

She tried to drown Steven and Connie. After agreeing to let the CG go in "Mirror Gem" and then meeting again in "Ocean Gem", we see Steven trying to talk to Lapis, despite the battle. Instead of agreeing to just talk (at first), Lapis wants them all to leave (Yes, I am aware that she was still mad at the CG, and probably Steven for not agreeing to come with her). Instead, Lapis decides to pick a fight. (Shoot, was this an evidence thing? My bad) In my opinion, her trying to drown two children was very uncalled for. I would have just expected them to be thrown back.

Intentionally broke Greg's leg during the battle. Though Steven is a pretty selfless guy, and wouldn't hold a grudge, I'm pretty sure he was upset at the moment that his dad had his broken leg.

Almost destroyed the Earth by stealing all the water-- perhaps the entire ocean. I am aware that she was desperate, but again, in my opinion, this was a completely selfish act. When I was newer to the series, I actually expected her to do something like talk to Steven in the middle of the night while the other Gems are away.

Overrated. This is self explanatory.

Conclusion

Nothing really.

But what I will say about the overrated thing is:  I usually start to dislike characters who are overrated, but on extremely rare occasions, I like them. With the fact that a bunch of the fandom keeps romanticizing her, I started to get pretty annoyed. Also, am I the only one who is noticing a Lapis version of at least two different things? I feel like in the future, there's going to be a bunch more of Lapis version stuff. Like, of 90% of the other awesome songs that involve emotion, sort of.

Anyway, just tell me your opinion about Lapis in the comments, and  DO NOT  diss me or debunk anything. This is a discussion thing, not a claim/debunk thing.
