| − | |Don't let the cutesy character designs fool you in this one. On the surface, it looks like a harmless animated series about the beauty of family unity among a half-human-half-alien child, his benevolent human father, and his extra-terrestrial friends who teach the boy how to use his superpowers. However, looks are deceiving—it really exposes children to filth. First, the series teaches that gender confusion is "normal", as the alien characters, while they look like space rocks who turn into women under light, are actually androgynous, and it tries to use their androgyny to justify their lesbian and bisexual behavior (which is based on [https://www.autostraddle.com/rebecca-sugar-is-bisexual-steven-universe-creator-comes-out-at-comic-con-346094/ the series creator's bisexual lifestyle]). As a result of these sexless aliens looking like women, the series has a strong [[Feminism|feminist]] bend, with the feminine-presenting aliens and even genuinely female humans portrayed as much more powerful or at least more competent than the male characters, many of whom are weak, silly, or incompetent. When male characters show some form of competence, such as the hero's father's parental instincts worthy of Mufasa from the great conservative animation ''The Lion King'' or skills with construction, the feminists who rule the show give said male characters less credit than they deserve. Lastly, innuendoes are peppered throughout, especially in terms of "fusions", which were originally supposed to be battle tactics that involved combining the aliens' bodies and minds to form more powerful entities before the show's liberal writers shoehorned in the idea that fusions are expressions of the aliens' "love" for one another. Some episodes even feature the title character going from being male to being "fused" with his female love interest to make a disturbingly androgynous hybrid, shown to be one of the strongest characters in combat. | + | |Don't let the cutesy character designs fool you in this one.
