@kara_dreamer@plural.cafe @nautilee Yeah. It's amazing how many people are fanatically into both shows yet somehow totally impervious to their themes. -_-

I had such high hopes for both fandoms.

Incidentally, I tend to agree about SU-- but Rebecca didn't have Hasbro to deal with. I've enjoyed all five seasons of Steven, but I do feel like it's gotten sidetracked and lost a lot of plot momentum, even without the terrible scheduling. (And I'm still miffed at how badly Connie's gotten neglected in this allegedly groundbreaking feminist show...) If Lauren had been left alone to make the show she wanted, I think it would've been better than SU, actually.

In fact, I think the moment I fell out of love with bronies was when I realized how PURE AND GOOD Wander Over Yonder is, and that virtually nobody from MLP fandom was going to support Lauren's other work, 'cause It Wasn't Pony. Some cynical part of me suspects it's because Wander ranked very low on the Narcissistic Self-Insertion Opportunity and Tiny Magic Waifu scales. -_-
