Why is it always Steven Universe with these people?
Cookie Cat wouldn't stand for this
Doesn't Steven have a bunch of watermelon children he accidentally created?
I think so, but I forget what happened to them after the episode
They started a whole society of melon people on an island and eventually help him in a later episode
Yeah, that sounds right
Serves me right for watching cartoons while zooted out of my gourd

Remember the nazi brony stuff? Same thing but later and to a different audience. Adults like kids show because they're weird weird adults, fascists can then advertise to this vulnerable group of online nerds and have the pipeline of advertising to children with plausible deniability, they don't control image search results (directly).
And like basically all recent slurs it's zero-effort, etymologically pisspoor, and terminally online.

Just when I thought watermelon was fully reclaimed from being an anti-black thing...
Without context, if you told me somebody invented the slur "melonist", I'd assume it referred to people who supported Italian Prime Minister Meloni.
