@A man of questionable sanity That's what I'm saying.

As cool as the idea of a "male" gem sounds it is literally the most unnecesary thing ever. All the gems could be "female" but they're all going to be completely different (As evident by the different personality types we've seen so far). We've literally seen 7 gems, not counting Steven since he's a hybrid, that were completely different. Making a gem "male" wouldn't add diversity to the story because guess what?! It's already incredibly diverse. Yes, Strong In The Real Way called me sexist in the comments of the page. But for the final time, my point was not to say, "we need a male gem", it was to get people to stop listing yellow diamond as female because we don't know what it is, you can see that clearly if you look at the main discussion point. I truly am sorry if you believe I think there needs to be a male gem, that was not the point of this thread. Since that was directed towards me I thought I'd respond.

What does what I say have anything to do with what Strong In The Real says or vice versa? Am I him/her? No. Did I call you sexist? No. I said you made it seem like having a male-pronouned gem is a necissity to keep the show from being boring or whatever you think would happen if all the gems were female-pronouned without any actually reasoning behind that other than they'd bring "diversity" to Steven Universe. THAT'S what I said. You still never fully answered what you meant by diversity. What could a male-pronouned gem bring to the table that a female-pronouned couldn't?

That's all I said.

Do you recall me saying it would bring diversity to the SPECIES (gems), not the show itself. Like I said before, if all gems were female it WILL eventually get boring, and there are people who agree with me. And Strong In The Real Way's comment does have something to do with it, you said nobody called me sexist. You do realize that gender/sexual/whatever diversity between sentients rocks would be pointless because they wouldn't be able to reproduce with each other (the point of gender/sexual diversity), right? It would literally have NO PURPOSE WHATSOEVER to have male gems, or in a universe with only male gems female gems. I wouldn't care if all the gems were male and there were no females because it wouldn't matter because they wouldn't need their counterparts and vice versa.

And you're kinda making yourself seem sexist (Let me clarify here, I'm not saying you are sexist but the way you choose to express your views kinda seems that way) by saying that if all the gems were female it would be boring. Really though? A male gem isn't going to make it any less boring if what's boring you is a lack of male-pronouned gems. Are you saying that a male-pronouned gem could make a boring story/plot better? Let's be serious. Let me clarify here, a never once said that "having a male gem would bring diversity to the show and improve its boring story" SU has an amazing storyline and a well written plot, I said the species, regardless if they are "polymorphic sentient rocks", would become more diverse. But that is NOT the point of this thread. If I wanted a male gem so badly, I would start a petition and sendnit to Rebbeca Sugar, that is not the point, I wanted to peacefully bring up the idea that yellow diamond could be male and could be female. My point may have gotten jumbled my me and you as we conversed, but I would like to restate my initial point:

It bugs me that many people assume yellow diamond is female, it could be the first full gem we see to use a male gender pronoun.

I hope that we can come to terms and end this pointless argument, I am sorry if your opinion of me is based on the fact that my opinion may sound sexist, but allow me to give you the full definition of sexism:

"Sexism, the belief that one gender is superior to another."

Please tell me how my expression of my opinion showed that I believe males are superior to females.

I hope that we can come to a peaceful settlement and possibly be friends after this. Again, I am sorry if you believe my opinion is sexist and if I offended you in any way.
