Jolmev:

"it will be a very evil thing from hell"

and

"I sometimes feel you wish PD to be full evil from the deeps of hell, idk"

are both you've statements directed toward me. You appear to be under the impression that since I don't believe Pink Diamond wanted to stop colonization of Earth, I think she is evil incarnate. When I said I want her to be a villain, I simply meant that there is virtually nothing compelling to suggest she was "a covert Crystal Gem ally" or the like. We're supposed to root for the CGs, which is why I use the term "villain". Just because she wanted to colonize Earth doesn't mean I don't think she had any redeeming or compassionate qualities.

I brought up the other Diamonds because I was making a parallel to the Crystal Gems. Despite their differences in personality, they all share a singualr goal: to protect Earth from Gem threats of invasion.

For this reason, I presume the Diamond Authority should function the same way. I believe the Diamonds had a common understanding of how the Gem Race and Empire should function. For all their differences, Yellow and Blue both felt Earth was an appealing planet to colonize, and both of them adhere strictly to the caste system. When Earth was deemed no longer viable (which I assume was agreed upon by the remaining Diamonds), it is implied all three were involved in some way in the corruption bomb to punish the remaining rebels. Yellow wants her geoweapon to emerge and destroy Earth, and Blue Diamond has rather reluctantly accepted this fate for the planet.

In other words, Earth had a purpose to Gemkind (creating Quartz soldiers for only stars knows what), and when that didn't work out, they culled what they could and rather perversely found a different use for it (incubating a cluster-shard geoweapon).  If three Diamonds [implicitly] agree to utilitarian practices irrespective of how it affects other life forms as a whole, what are the odds the fourth Diamond was opposed to this dogma?

If we look at this in terms of "perspective", can we really claim with confidence that Pink shared the "perspective" of Crystal Gems, as opposed to that of the Diamond Authority? There is more that points to her "perspective" aligning with her fellow Diamonds, not the rebels.
