>>92948807
I think it's more that they're both brought up with different ideals to follow. Gohan went on a classic Monomyth cycle during the Saiyan arc where the key development to his character was being able to overcome his fears and face his enemies just as the adult Z fighters do. He's faced hardships at a direct personal level as well, many of the fights that happen involve him at the forefront rather than staying in the sidelines or as backup. He had to learn to be strong, and how to use that strength for good purposes, because even though Goku, Piccolo, Krilin, etc. are there fighting with him he knows he can't rely on them to protect him at the same time. Compare that to how Steven is taught and trained by the people around him..

>>92949150
To be fair though, DBZ should never be taken as a realistic approach.

Gohan had to deal with his dad dying (and being abducted) at the age of four. Then he was put through intense training with almost no affection (at least initially) til the age of five. Then he watched almost everyone he knew die.

Then he had to go into space, and fight space Hitler. Then deal with his father putting the fate of the entire planet on his shoulders when he is like 11 or something.

It makes just as much sense as 17 being able to stand up to Goku in SSB... but there ya go.

>>92949297
>To be fair though, DBZ should never be taken as a realistic approach.
I supposed Steven Universe is more realistic than DBZ then?
Why does it even matter if it's realistic or not, this whole discussion is about how OP is a complete faggot for not seeing how poor a character Steven is now that people are throwing numerous examples of fictional pre-teen boys doing greater things than he has up to this point while also being less of a bitch he has always been. Nobody is talking about whether or not Steven's handling is realistic except for what you're implying by that post.

>>92949420
It's always an implied that realism is an sort of important in a comparison of emotional maturity.

I could write a character who watched his mother and father die, trained in martial arts for decades, then learned every branch of science to get revenge, and then with nothing more than some gadgets and his natural training is able to stand up to physical gods and stand above them at times. I could then point to other characters the same age and go "haha what pussies".

The fact that my character would be unrealistic as fuck makes it an inherently unfair comparison.

>inb4 "shinji's a big baby" faggots

Ikari went through literally as much emotional trauma as humanly possible, and he cried exactly two times. For god's sake, there's an episode where they tell him to get OUT of the robot, and he doesn't.

Sure, he ran away two times, but him pussying out is actually executed in a realistic manner. Shinji is a complete emotional wreck, but it's shown in actual ways that don't consist of having him cry every other episode like a fucking child.

>>92950330
>I'm so fucked up

Some people cry a lot in real life anon. Some people don't. Some people deal with their issues. Others have to bottle them up and turn into complete emotional wrecks with massive complexes.

Steven mostly deals with his emotional hang ups. He's a crier, but he's actually dealt with his problems for the most part.

>>92946844

>14 year old

Didn't he stop aging at the age of 11? And when he tried to fix that, his body returned the favour by making him a baby again?

Considering circumstances, only Aang and Les Enfants Terribles had a worse gig than he did. His existance is literally the epicentre of a planet busting space race's civil war, because all it's members think he's his mum.

His mum also took the blame for one of the most prolific war crimes of said war, despite it becoming increasingly unlikely that a) she did it or b) it even occurred to the extenet witnesses claim. Shit's got Prisoner of Azkaban written all over it. That's got to confuse your feelings a little bit.

Imagine being John Lennon's kid, and reading up on how big of a shithead he was to people before he went full hippie.

>>92950375
>he's a crier

See, the point is that Shinji (not) dealing with his emotional issues in the way that he does is much more interesting and actually watchable than Steven, who comparatively starts sobbing every fucking time something bad happens.

So, yeah, sure, it's realistic, I'll give you that much. But, just like in real life, someone constantly crying is fucking annoying. Please write your character's ways of dealing with their emotional hangups in a better way.

>>92950576
Yeah, but Steven's powers are emotion based. He's going to be like that. Also, even if it is a little heavy handed, I'm fine with characters outwardly showing emotion in shows.

I can't tell you how many men (not just 20-30 year olds, but in their 40s) I've seen come in who have emotional hang ups that they feel like they can't express. Men are shit at emotions, we just like to do "hurr durr men are rational" and bury it, but then have to deal with the fallout of being closed off.

>>92950427
He stopped aging physically at like age 9. This is going to be a problem in a couple of years when Connie begins to get a sex drive.

>>92950745

They wrote him like that, so they get to suffer the inevitable backlash that comes from having your character be an incessant crybaby.

>i'm fine with characters outwardly showing emotion in shows

Who isn't? Crying is sacred. It's something that occurs when someone is in the pits of despair and can't find a solution, or get out, or really do anything about it at all. Abusing crying is, subsequently, cardinal sin in your writing, because you just locked yourself out of tugging at anyone's heartstrings when your audience is so fucking used to your characters bawling that they don't give a shit about it at best, and are annoyed by it at worst.

>I can't tell you how many men (not just 20-30 year olds, but in their 40s) I've seen come in who have emotional hang ups that they feel like they can't express. Men are shit at emotions, we just like to do "hurr durr men are rational" and bury it, but then have to deal with the fallout of being closed off.

I could give less of a shit if crying is healthy. A lot of crying is annoying. Do you remember a particularly bad day as a little kid where you'd cry for a really long amount of time, and your parents went from trying to comfort you to just trying to get you to be quiet? We're the parents when we watch Steven bawl his eyes out constantly.

If you want to hit some emotional beats by having your character cry at a particularly low point? Sure! If you want to reuse crying to the point where your audience is completely desensitized to it? Please take a writing class.

>>92951028
>t. male who equates stoicism with manliness

Also, you're too full of yourself. You've bought into the idea that men don't show emotion. Steven IS constantly in situations where he can't find solutions or is emotionally overwhelmed. Just don't watch the show if you don't like it, that's fine... but it's not because it's a bad thing. It's just not in line with the stoicism you happen to like.

>>92951276
>You've bought into the idea that men don't show emotion.

Uh, no?

>It's just not in line with the stoicism you happen to like.

But I don't. I like people (and characters) showing their emotions, you retard. It's human. There's a difference between liking stoicism and disliking someone crying all the goddamn time.

>Steven IS constantly in situations where he can't find solutions or is emotionally overwhelmed.

Gee, then I guess they shouldn't have written Steven as a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve then, huh? If you write your character to be overly sensitive and then put him in a bunch of sensitive situations, that's all on you, baby.

>t. male who equates stoicism with manliness

Why do you keep looking into something when there's nothing to look into? Too much crying is annoying and desensitizes your audience to an otherwise extremely effective way of showing your character in a depressed emotional state. Too much crying is poor writing.

>>92951533
>Uh, no?

Yeah, really though. You're American, right? It's culturally ingrained. You've put crying on this emotional pedestal. For you (as you've already stated) crying is sacred.

It really isn't. From your perspective, crying is private and limited. Just like how strict religious/celibate people have a much different view of the sacredness of sex compared to people who are getting it constantly, you have a "sacred"/"limited" view of crying. That it cheapens it. That it is annoying. That it's an expression of weakness.

Also, stop referring to me like I wrote SU.

See, if you said "you've bought into the idea that crying is sacred" then your reply would make sense. But, no, you said "You've bought into the idea that men don't show emotion", which is wrong. Emotions are fun. Nobody should like being a rock.

>crying is private and limited.

Well, half right is okay. Showing perceived weakness in front of others is more a sign of strength, so I really don't see the problem in occasionally letting it all out to those close to you.

But, yeah, it should be limited, because when someone cries a lot, we get desensitized to the emotional value of it, and then it gets annoying, and we eventually just want them to be quiet.

Just like how Steven crying a lot is really annoying by this point, and how a large portion of the audience thinks the same! Isn't it weird how we keep coming back to constant crying being weak writing? You should probably address that, seeing as how you haven't.

>>92952347
It's certainly not massive, but I feel like it meets the criteria for "good".

Also, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that /co/ isn't the only notable group of people who find Steven's incessant crying to be annoying.

>>92952287
How does it reduce it?

The emotional value of the event is unchanged. If you get annoyed by crying (seriously?) I guess that can make it less so for you personally, but the event still happened. If a toddler cries in front of me because he didn't get his juice, it has no emotional impact on me. If a war veteran stares solemnly on while visiting the graves of his fallen comrades, I get choked up.

Crying is just how Steven expresses himself, but I don't get how it "cheapens" the emotions for you. Unless you need like, a cry-track or laugh-track to tell you when to feel things.

Fuck weeb memers, Shinji's alright considering he's a kid going through one of the most confusing and emotional stages of his life while also having to pilot a giant robot. Eva is a deconstruction of the giant mech genre, so of course they're going to have him react to shit like a dumb inexperienced kid sometimes, that's part of what makes it a deconstruction.

>>92952412

>>92952440

Desensitization, dude. Is it that hard to understand? If I see a war veteran cry every day for weeks on end, then I'm not gonna say that it's not sad, but I'm not gonna be emotionally impacted in the least after enough time's passed.

Same thing with Steven: There's no emotional impact to me when I see him cry, even if the event gives good cause for being sad, because I've seen him cry so much by this point that the action carries no weight to me. It's like walking or talking by now.

And, sure, I personally could not shed a single tear if Steven's crying over the new sad thing of the week, but that's just because the show has had its cast cry so much that it's genuinely impressive if the general audience hasn't been desensitized to it by this point.

>>92952697
You seemed to miss what I'm saying. The emotional impact for me isn't ever the crying, it's the context.

The emotional response you get seeing someone crying is just like... the knee jerk response as far as emotions go. I don't get sad when I see people cry in real life, I get concerned for them, and then follow up. My emotional investment (whatever it is) in the show is based on what leads up to the crying, never the crying itself.

My bad, man. The context can, and has, made me choke up on a good many occasions. What I'm trying to say is that the crying itself should work as a double whammy to the situation.

A GREAT example of this is the part where Vegeta cries after not being able to do shit to Frieza. Was the situation itself depressing? Yes. Did Vegeta crying make the scene twice as heavy? Fuck yes.

Sure, your scene alone can be the main source of depression, but the character crying in response to the situation (which ends up happening anyway, if the scene is sad enough) should contribute just as much to the overall mood and the impact the situation gives you.

If you want to show boys that it's okay to show emotion every now and then and not be emotionless robots, Steven is a terrible example.

They went too far in the opposite direction and made him a blubbering mess 99% of the time. If anything, I think he'd make boys less likely to be more open with feelings considering how much of a bitch Steven is, the opposite of what the Sugar crew wants to do.

>>92953493

All the examples used so far either still act their age or are able to accomplish feats that far surpass what is expected of them at that age. Look at the first series Ben 10, he abuses his powers constantly for personal gain and often treats the whole "saving the day" thing as a kind of game to play. Hell when he went to the future the whole contrast was that his adult self was tight ass workaholic who needed to see kid Ben to show him what he's lost growing up.

>If you want to show boys that it's okay to show emotion every now and then and not be emotionless robots, Steven is a terrible example.
I think this is the wrong way to describe what Steven Universe is teaching boys in general. Sadness and Love aren't the only emotions out there, yet they seem to be the only ones focused on by the show.
If we're talking about shows that encourage boys to show their emotions then we need to look at shows that encourage the display of all of them. Look at Spongebob, EEnE, KND, FOP, ATLA, GAoBaM, PPG, I mean there's a whole fuckload of cartoons you can pick out of just CN and Nick that have characters or stories where letting others see what you are feeling isn't discouraged, yet at the same time some of those same shows also showcase why it's wrong to simply allow yourself to be completely controlled by them.

No kid, unless raised by a single mother has ever or will ever act like this. And most males raised by single mothers don't even act like that in the first place. There is only one kid in either mine or my child's school that ever acted like Steven. And I moved around a lot. You don't fucking cry when you step in fucking frog juice after a dissection.

No but Steven would

>>92956057
punpun was a goddamn mess of person who actively sabotaged his relationships with people. punpun's life wasn't bad , he made it bad because he liked it being bad

the fucking story ends with him surrounded by friends who love and care for him and this was apparently a worse fate than death the creator could up for him.

>>92953612
What exactly makes him more disgusting than anyone else in the show? Other than the fapping thing.

>>92956527
It's the only time I've ever seen an ending that was only "bad" because we (the audience) know how much the protagonist hates it. Anyone else would be so lucky to have an ending like that.

>written like a kid
No, he's written like he's 6 and raised by a single mother when he's supposed to be 14.

He also stopped aging when he was eight.

>>92946844
Three alien women and a manchild raised him.
He being a crybaby makes sense when you realize the most image of masculinity on his life comes from Garnet.

What the fuck is their problem with Steven!? What's their problem?

>>92947865
the nigga murdered a fucking army WHEN HE WAS LIKE 8.

And unlike Steven when Goku cries he gets strong af and murders more things.

>>92954851
Well that depends is Steven trying to convince guts that Griffen did nothing wrong?

>>92958897
Steven stopped a zombie army combined into a doomsday weapon.

And he did it with the power of friendship and bubbles.

>>92959422

>>92954851
In a fight, I don't think so. Steven doesn't have a strong survival instinct, or the will to kill others. It might be a stalemate if Gutz can't break Steven's bubble. If Guts can break the bubble with a sword or magic, etc.; then Steven is toast. The shield doesn't have enough coverage, Gutz would get around it. But they probably wouldn't fight anyway. Steven might be able to heal (or partially heal) Gutz's curse mark or Casca's mind.

I can name eight at once.

They are called the Digidestined and saved two worlds.
And guess what:

they did the same thing three and seven years later again.

>>92959422
he didn't stop it, he just cut the wire of a bomb. The components of the bomb are still ready to set off if one platonic plate shifts.

>>92946844
people shit on him because you faggots don't keep it in one thread.

>>92947764
the tv he watches seems to primarily be parodies of cartoons aimed at actual children or shounens or literally anything that has no focus on school at all. im sure he saw a show in passing that had school, didnt understand what was happening, lost interest, then switched to crying breakfast friends because he was familiar with it.

he didnt really start reading books until he started hanging out with connie

>pproblems all solved by crying
>gets himself purposefully captured "to protect his friends"
>no way of knowing if his deal will work (it won't, hes just lucky the Diamonds still think the Earth will die from implosion)
>Only way back is leaving the the one friend that got captured with him
>Only way back entails using crying magic passed onto him from his dead mother by accident
He honestly hasn't done shit, literally everything so far has been complete luck and crying, and somehow convincing people into doing shit by crying and talking about feelings. But I will still watch this garbage.

>>92950375
>crying/showing emotion is dealing with issues
No its not, its a emotional response that doesnt do shit, in fact in moments of intense emotional response (fear, sadness) people have difficulty thinking clearly and doing much at all.
Bottling up and getting shit done is just as effective, if not more.

>>92964986
bottling up causes long term problems. the best way to handle things is to go out back, have a quick cry to release the built up stress, then come back with a level head and tackle the problem.


if thats not an option then bottling it up for the time being and crying about it afterward or later suffices. bottling it up all the time just leads to hiccups like topaz almost letting their prisoners escaping because they dont know how to have a quick moment of :'( before or after a mission
