The quasi-[[Thanksgiving]]-themed episode "Gem Harvest" guest stars Andy DeMayo, Greg's cousin and a professional biplane pilot with openly conservative viewpoints who may be an expy of Archie Bunker from ''All in the Family'' since both are middle-aged conservative men with short tempers and strong [[New York City|New York]] accents. Andy's initially unsympathetic portrayal as well as the episode airing shortly after the [[2016 presidential election]] drew widespread criticism from fans, including, ironically, opposers of [[Donald Trump]], who argued that such political undertones were in poor taste.

The series' fan base, while it does not make up a large percent of the world's population, is one of the most vocally aggressive in the world. In October 2015, some fans [http://www.dailydot.com/parsec/steven-universe-fanartist-bullied-controversy/ bullied a teenage fan artist to attempt suicide] because she submitted fan art to the Internet in which she drew Steven's long-deceased, plump alien mother Rose Quartz as skinny. Subsequently, the fan base became so divided that the show's writers were forced to get involved. Likewise, series storyboard artist Lauren Zuke was harassed after she shared fan art on [[Twitter]] by those fans who believed she was advocating a "Lapidot" ship (that is, a fantasy relationship pairing between recurring characters Lapis Lazuli and Peridot) over other fan-preferred pairings of the show’s characters, none of which is official canon.

Similarly, some countries have the decency to censor or alter explicitly lesbian scenes and dialogue when they import certain episodes of the series, but when this happens, the liberal fans are guaranteed to complain and get their way like the spoiled, entitled adult children that many of them are.

The only positive thing we can say is thank goodness this series is definitely not rated TV-Y.

|In this epilogue miniseries to one of the most left-wing animated series of all time, things go even further left than before. In the ninth episode, "Little Graduation," recurring character Sadie Miller—originally a donut shop employee who is now on her rise to fame as a musician—is revealed to be pansexual since she is seen dating and performing on stage with a "non-gender binary" partner.  In the fourteenth episode, "Growing Pains," the titular male protagonist of the ''Dog Copter'' film series existing within this fictional universe is seen proposing to be "married" to another male dog during a television commercial for the sixth installment of his series.
