haha who says the canon lesbian who is literally wary of all men she is shown interacting with in the series is a lesbian :)
lmao shut the fuck up
While Pearl is very obviously not straight, where in the hell is she confirmed as a lesbian in canon? Has she, or her creators, verbally expressed that she is exclusively attracted to women because I don’t think so? I’m a gay guy who is literally wary of all men I’ve interacted with, does that somehow make me straight by this logic?
hmm maybe because of the fact she is only romantically invested ever in a woman that it is fucking obvious that she is a lesbian. men and women see men differently, and she literally does not like any man holy shit. every single man she is seen interacting with she has not liked. it’s almost like the fact she’s been only around women for most of her life to you gross ass lesbophobes means “she hasn’t found the right guy yet”
why do y’all hate lesbians so fucking much christ.
Here we go again.
Here’s the thing, the Crewniverse never have stated her sexuality. What they have done, though, in addition to Rose and Amethyst teases, is draw her with men severaltimesbefore this, Rebecca actually referencing it in an interview. The Crewniverse, including Rebecca herself, are perfectly comfortable presenting this character in a multisexual context. Pearl is theircreation, not yours, they know her best, so don’t be surprised when fans take the Word Of God(dess) over angry accusations that frankly speak more loudly of your own issues than they do about the people you are attacking.
It seems popular to say these sketches here are somehow the reason this artist no longer works on the show. Yet the Crewniverse’s official blog not only reblogged it, but called it “awesomely cute” and tagged it #waifu.
They. Don’t. Care. Actually, they very much seem to ENJOY it. It’s almost as if maybe, just maybe, this character could actually be seen as that horrible b-word or p-word harassers like you vehemently try to push away like it was some plague. It’s almost like when Rebecca said “please pair everyone with everyone else”, she meant “please pair everyone with everyone else”.
So Pearl can definitely be interpreted this way with a solid basis in the Crewniverse’s own imaginations. You have zero ground to call it homophobia unless you’re willing to say Rebecca herself is homophobic too, because she dares portray her own character as something you personally disagree with.
No one is denying Pearl’s love of Rose, and outside of television network edits and one troll blog I haven’t seen anyone say she has to be straight because ew icky gayness. THAT would be homophobia. This is not. Did you know that bi people don’t always show equal interest in all genders 24/7? We don’t also lose our bi card if we fall in love.
Pearl now gets along just fine with Greg, and she became much more cordial to Mayor Dewey when he stopped being a puffed-up shmuck and sincerely thanked her for her help on the play. There have been no instances in this show where they have showcased this “EW MEN” attitude you claim she has.
By your logic, Rose was a lesbian who was “changed” by the right man. Now, there’s already been plenty of erasure of Rose’s relationship with Greg, but strangely few people in this vocal mob gives two shits about that. There are people dogpiling this poor artist–a bad fucking habit this fandom has gotten into–when they know ZERO about them personally. You’re willing to make terrible assumptions based on art that Rebecca Sugar herself enjoyed and that the Crewniverse promoted.
Bisexuals exist. Stop trying to deny us a freaking HEADCANON of a character’s UNCONFIRMED sexuality, especially when the creators have drawn it themselves. If you want to roll your eyes and tag #lesbophobia, go tag it to them, they are the ones in charge, they created this character, they own this character, and they freely chose to present her this way.
You have your lesbian Pearl. Others have their demi ace Pearl. I have my bi/pan Pearl. There’s a Pearl for everyone. Live and fucking let live. And if all else fails:
This whole “If you’re not gay or lesbian you’re not valid” shit needs to stop. You’re not creating a safe space doing this, you’re making it more toxic. There’s WAY more letters than just LG for a reason.
