I’m glad that people are having discussions about Connie ghosting Steven.

On the “Worst thing this character has done” posts, I’m glad that people are acknowledging that Connie was in the wrong. I posted that a while ago but I got bullied and two people started threatening me so I had to take it down. But since it’s being discussed more, I wanna re-share my thoughts: 1. Connie doesn’t REALLY have a right to be angry. Yes, she can be upset and shocked, but she was angry after Steven went through a traumatizing experience, that he didn’t take her to get traumatized as well? 2. She took Lion. Yes I know that “Lion goes wherever he wants” but she said “let’s go Lion” and Lion, of course, listened. Lion was Steven’s only way to Lars. 3. When they talk again Connie says “what’s been with you lately?!” As if it’s HIM that’s ghosted HER. Then she says “I came by your house and you were on vacation”. That’s fine, but then text him that you want to talk to him. Don’t just go home and sulk. 4. Feelings are valid, but just like in real life, your feelings do not justify cruelty. 5. I don’t wanna hear “it wasn’t traumatizing for Steven” because it totally was. Steven throughout the show keeps a positive attitude and handles trauma well (for a while at least) but that doesn’t mean it’s not there.

I just had a very hard time liking Connie after that. It was obvious she didn’t care about Steven’s trauma or even feelings in that moment. She just cared about herself, and because of that, the moment Steven got out of that terrible situation on homeworld, Connie put him into a new bad situation on Earth.

Edit: She also was the reason her and Steven got thrown in prison in homeworld when she danced with him even though he warned her that it wasn’t allowed and she was all “since when are you embarrassed about dancing?” When it was about the fact that they were putting themselves at risk, not about embarrassment. This whole series of events makes me think that if he HAD taken Connie to HomeWorld the first time, she might have messed everything up.

I’m not looking to pick a fight, and I’m not looking for people to scream at me. If you have an opposing viewpoint, I’d love to hear it, but I don’t want people being mean over opinions.
