Steven Universe writer gets hounded from Twitter by fans
This is why we can't have nice things. "You’d hope that fans of Steven Universe—which might be the most progressive kids’ show ever created, up to and including starring a character who’s the living embodiment of a healthy romantic relationship between two women—would be able to take the show’s lessons of empathy to heart. But then again, this is the internet, where hope is a wet, dismal fart, and empathy goes to die. And so, it’s not surprising—depressing, certainly, but not surprising—to hear that Steven Universe writer and storyboard artist Lauren Zuke has deleted her Twitter account this week, after being harassed by fans apparently angry at the show’s handling (or non-handling) of one of its many relationships, and Zuke’s perceived feelings on the pair."
