<p>Oh, you mean like what Bismuth thought when she attacked Steven?

<p>Bismuth: It is <i>you</i>, isn't it, <i>Rose</i>?
</p><p>It is understandable that the (we as)viewing audience sees Steven Quartz Universe as a child but to Gem characters, with the exception being the Crystal Gems, they do not see a human nor a child. This has to be explicitly explained to them to understand what a human even is and why humans are fragile and important.

<p>This is the fifth time you stated this, I get it. It doesn't mean I am going to agree with you.
</p><p>It's my opinion that bubbling Bismuth was stupid. Besides that, she can't do anything to a modernized Homeworld without any actual way of getting there. And it is highly likely that she never saw a Corrupted Gem, so to assume she would <i>shatter</i> it without reason isn't a fair assessment.
</p><p>Bismuth was locked away based on her extreme ideals, not her actions. And for all of Steven's sympathetic moments involving lines such as: "<i>try to see this/it from HER point of view</i>", this was not done with Bismuth.
