It's a colorful show primarily about growth and family and self discovery and overcoming trauma so "Steven Universe says to befriend fascists " is, in my opinion, just a bad faith hot take dunk attempt by people who have some kind of grudge or just hate anything that isn't grimdark prestige TV.
Like I said before, "from what I've been told," specifically about the genocide-committing antagonist that is apparently "forgiven" in the end. I haven't actually personally gotten around to watching it, though the fandom can be really, really aggressive at times so it tends to discourage me too.
If you're not generally a fan of animated shows for kids already, it's not gonna be worth your time, especially since it starts pretty slow. I don't know anything about the fandom but I'm sure it's a shit show just like every other fandom.

I am, actually. I've seen quite a few of them, but early (personal, I might add) negative experiences with the SU fandom put me off a bit and I didn't get around to actually watching it.
just like every other fandom
Some fandoms can be worse overall than others especially when it comes to size and prevalence of their toxic sides.
I still play 40k sometimes but I accept and admit that for the most part the average 40k experience among strangers is going to be pretty awful compared to, say, Pathfinder.
well the "toxic side" people usually complain about is people who are too militant about being against drawing the characters thinner so while it is weird and toxic it's not the kind of weird and toxic 40k is
I won't argue with you there. Sometimes I do seriously consider giving up on my Orkz entirely because casual play with strangers more often than not makes this thing make funny sounds
Admittedly, very old portrayals of Orkz, that predate when I started playing, had uniform and aesthetics. I only found out about that later. I of course reject that entirely and I've even refused to play with people that had "vintage" pieces.

They're also fundamentally alien. Nobody talks about Steven's cultural imperialism of their fascist traditions!
