Discussion My biggest issue with Pink wanting to protect Earth
I can understand Pink not wanting to destroy life on Earth and to let its nature and life blossom, but here’s my biggest issue with her belief.
Gems live for essentially forever so the lifespan for any human will be a tiny grain of sand compared to the length of time the Crystal Gems live. Maybe they will have meaningful connections with some humans for a short period of time, but when they die they will eventually be forgotten and replaced with a new human to gawk at. How many humans do you think they connected with in the centuries they’ve lived on Earth before Steven and how would it be any different after Steven, Connie, and the rest of them eventually die after many decades?
I know this may be a rough take, but the Crystal Gems and Pink protected a planet to basically live among pets.
