I say isn't generally looked down upon because fusion (of the same gems) are allowed in Homeworld if it is needed. Choosing to stay fused for no other reason than wanting to, is what is considered as bad.

The reason of why has been said by Jasper herself in two different instances:

"Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak Gems stronger."

"Those who cannot fit inside this order must be purged! To come out misshapen, to reshape yourself outside your purpose, and to defend this ruined, worthless planet is a disgrace!"

The first instance is pretty much just a matter of principles between planet conquering beings. A Gem must be strong by themselves and should not need anyone else to be stronger, which is in opposition to the Crystal Gems's principles of "stronger together". Choosing to fuse is pretty much admission that you are weak and need someone else to make you stronger in the eyes of Jasper.

The second instance Jasper pretty much says that Homeworld has strict standards for its followers. If you come out off colored or misshapen, you do not fit in the standards of Homeworld and must be eliminated. If you choose to re-shape yourself (shape shifting and fusion) you are no longer following what Homeworld has laid out for you. What you look like and what you were made for is what you should only be, no exceptions. If there is no compliance, elimination is their answer. And if you were ever to deviate from Homeworld's view, it is considered treason and you must be destroyed. Those who cannot fit inside this order must be purged! So.... does this mean my edit was right or not?
