Why are you guys so against the notion that Ruby and Sapphire might love each other non-romantically? And before you even ask, the reason I'm against the notion of the opposite is because I think that when I saw them hugging, it felt like a "you're my family." Don't you guys know that FAMILY>SPOUSE/LOVER

You can love somebody in a way other than romantic, guys. Please give it a chance because to me, it's pretty obvious. Freddy Fagbear, even your name says it, you're a troll. Get out of here. I didn't post this for chaos, I posted it for a true answer to the question, why is our world so biased, as soon as they see one kiss, it has to be all about sex and romance? Didn't your family ever kiss you goodnight? Oh, they didn't? Sorry that you have a terrible and unloving family, then. Yes you can love someone not romantically. But the show, their actions, the song, the creators have all been pointing us to one idea, and that is they are romantically in love. You do realize that romantic relationships form bonds akin to that of familial bonds, right? Even one's friends can become family, or are family, needless to say someone you have strong bonds to. Some people see this as: FAMILY>LOVER/SPOUSE; others see it as FAMILY=LOVER/SPOUCE. Also, the Gems don't have parents and or siblings.

We gave you an honest answer, you just keep denying it. If you accept our answer, then good for you; if you don't, then still good for you. We can't force you to see what we see, in the same sense that you can't force us to see what you see.

Sex=/=Romance; understand that sex need not always equate to romance, or vice versa. I'm becoming more suspicious that you have very little understanding of love. When they kissed, our minds didn't go directly to "OMG, they kissed! They must be having s--, how romantic."; the bulk of the community thought "OMG, they kissed! They must be in love, how romantic".

You come here and preach about bias an yet you posted a statement saying "why is our world so biased, as soon as they see one kiss, it has to be all about sex and romance? Didn't your family ever kiss you goodnight? Oh, they didn't? Sorry that you have a terrible and unloving family, then." I mean seriously? No really, are you serious? If people can't learn how to differentiate what is romantic and familial love they come from a bad family? Ever heard of the word Hypocrite?
