Why aren’t they all the same color?

More importantly why didn't Rebecca do anything interesting with human/gem influence. You'd think at least one of those human focused episodes would've had someone utilize gem technology in some capacity rather than humans being regular humans or humans but they're treated like pets.
Racemixing propaganda.
Watsonian explanation: the gems who run the zoo want to preserve a caricature of human biodiversity, so they genetically alter embryos
Doylist explanation: If they all had the same phenotype they would inevitably resemble one human ethnic group more than others, and would end up being offensive to the very sensitive target audience of the show.
Because its a shit-written series where the creators don't care about humanity or their agency, that would just cut into the rock aliens being lesbians with each other and random staff members using the series as an excuse to put out their fanfictions instead of plot.

That's it, but simply through the choosening.
They have been selecting who is allowing to fuck with you so that they remain diverse.
Because genetics don't work like that. Genes jump through generations.
dna does
why would they be?
did you miss the computer that told them when and with whom they could pair off or are you just another baiting racefaggot?
no social boundaries between races
isolated for eight centuries
i'm not sure what the math would be here but i would expect people to look a little closer in skin color if these people chose their mates at random
Because the Crewniverse preferred slice-of-life anime over action/sci-fi anime

if these people chose their mates at random
bruh did you even watch the episode
I once conceptualized a human villain who profited off capturing corrupted gems and making them fight each other like pokemon
Too creative for this terrible fucking show.
Where the worst villain ever that Steven hates is some dude that hit on his (actually) transexual fused form.
yeah, i watched it, i probably don't remember b/c it was OVER EIGHT YEARS AGO, anon
anon them being assigned who they fuck was a main plot point of the episode
I hate that enough time has passed that Steven Universe has become "nostalgic". So expect every valid criticism to get glossed over from now on
The writers had to split up gem stuff and human stuff because Cartoon Network wanted episodic episodes for re-runs and lore gem stuff for week-long events.
I wish Balfur were real. He'd talk some sense into the boy.
Wouldn't he have a bunch of demented gem ghosts in the back of his mind schizoing-out constantly from being shattered
i want to know when the rest of Anon Babble realized this show was awful
Honestly its been so long I can't even remember what specific point really did it for me.
It was long before Rose being confirmed as Pink Diamond, but that really put the full stop on the story being trash. It just killed off anything about the conflict being interesting.
Worldbuilding, plot and common sense were always meant to be secondary to characters crying over pointless bullshit.
Mid-season 2.
Jailbreak had good momentum that they utterly squandered.
characters crying over pointless bullshit
Reminds me of when zombie donut-ears came back.
He's in his spaceship with his crew of downie fused gems, and they have the dialogue rapidly state all these 'cool' things he is supposed to have been doing offscreen while cosplaying Captain Harlock that would have been interesting to see, but as soon as anything starts happening now he's immediatly crying and bitching over dumb life bullshit again
Doesn't matter. He's more sensical than Greg and the Crystal Gems put together.
Greg should have fought the Diamonds alongside the Crystal Gems Full Fusion in his Giant, Robot, Van
That doesn't really get them off the hook for their overall worldbuilding being shit.
They could have had required 'slice of life' episodes without making humans so entirely tofu-like.
It's sad how actual charcater moments and storylines were just ripoffs of dumbass anime Rebecca Sugar watched.
Never
Dumb Frog Poster
the gems make the mating selection in order to not make them all inbreeds
Why aren't they on my dick
Its too small for even one of them to get on
living here in beach city
fighting evil diamands
you've gotta find first gear
IN YOUR GIANT ROBOT VAAAAAN
