SU has great representations of real life like…

Different body types:

And the characters all have different types of hair:

Theres more than just white characters (not including the gems):

Its okay to cry even if you’re a boy:

The majority of the characters are women, and are powerful:

It shows how different people react to the loss of a loved one:

It shows different forms of sacrifice:

Just like real people the “perfect” characters aren’t always perfect:

Love takes time. Their relationships weren’t flawless:

It has characters who aren’t straight:

They deal with real life struggles like being stuck in something uncontrollable, growing up, and protecting loved ones:

In short steven universe is an amazing show with great representation, both physically and emotionally.
