Why doesn't it have a toyline?

If you looked up "predictable response" in the dictionary it would literally just be a screenshot of >>6141702

Girls don't like toys that much

It truly is baffling, especially considering how many variants you could release of each character. Season 1 outfit gems, season 2 outfits, flashback outfits, different weapons/powers, the fusions, different settings, etc. But for some reason there's only the Pops and some other small figures? Like I get that the show is more feminine, and has a more teen audience, but CN, at least dip your toe in the water with it instead of doing nothing at all.

Not to mention those fucking awesome fusions. Imagine if they were somewhat to scale? Like you get a malachite toy and it's way bigger than your Garnet toy.
>>6141732
Those don't emulate the artstyle or the feeling of the show at all. Burger King toys would be more loyal to the show.

It kind of has like four.
They are all shitty minifigs/whatever the fuck you would call the Rockers but they are still technically toys.

I wish we could get some articulated figures even one of those shitty Jakks or Funko lines would be okay at this point.

Speaking of SU toys.
Has anybody heard anything about the Garnet gauntlets and the shield they showed off last year?

>>6141699

...I literally have no idea.

I would oay real money for an action figure line.

A Barbie Doll-type Pearl thing. Garnet boxing gloves. An Amethyst plushie. A Steven shirt. Jewelry (obviously).

I wanted to get her pint size hero so I can have a pocket Jasper to carry around. The ones on eBay are like 20 bucks, and I don't want to deal with that blind bag BS

>>6141734
But they do satisfy the fanbase. You could always make your own instead of crying about how devoted a fan you are. I doubt the tumblr audience even cares about physical things when the show is all about feelings.

For how creative the show is the fanbase sure does fuck all about it.

Early last year I think but that is still a pretty long time.

>>6141749
The few attempts I have come across were uninspiring to say the least.

>>6141699

From a corporate point of view the show isn't big enough to have a profitable consumer base and the character design isn't iconic or characterful enough to stand next to Hasbro products and expect to sell.

>>6141836
It's the most viewed show on Cartoon Network

The fanbase used all their imagination points on trying to come up with new genders that are more fictional than the cartoon itself. No way they are going to be interested in toys.

>>6141862
Steven Universe has literally never discussed gender politics in any episode

>>6141841
Over Watched is the most played video game yet there is no official figmas

>>6141862
Until something new comes along

Less popular/iconic (whatever that means) cartoons get toys all the time anon.

I thought that was Teen Titans Go.

>>6141875

>teen titans go ever other hour

Also amazing lady bug was a commercial product which is barely producing any sales toy wise

Lol they should make a playset of the hotel and pack it with a notepad so we can leave terrible reviews all over it.

They kind of had one episode about rape.

>>6141892
Girls dont buy action figures and parents still gender their children. Its why they are not given as liberal time slots as teen titans go which celebrates boys being boys and girls being girls because society is binary and nothing can chanhe that. People are insecure and conform to 'normality'

>>6141699

Isn't this cartoon aimed at gay college kids?

>>6141917

It's aimed at everybody who isn't a douchebag.

>>6141699
You remember how Marvel Comics completely fucked over their original fanbase and started pandering to SJWs for brownie points while berating white privilege in their books?

And then it turned out that the SJWs, while having books that directly catered to them and their ideologies, never actually bought any of the books because they don't actually collect comics, and in response to that Marvel Comics sales figures were basically destroyed and they had to ship free issues to comic retailers that they didn't order just to stay in the Top 10 Diamond list?

It's that for SU. Nobody cares about this cartoon aside from SJWs, and the "following" that it has is irrelevant when considering a toy line because, frankly, none of them would buy anything aside from Pops.

>>6141734
the funko poops look as much like your show as that tumblr fan art.

It's really just like mlp, everyone trying to give depth and detail to something that's very shallow and simple.

>>6141699
In order to have a toyline you need people to want to buy them
No one, not even the tumblr snowflake fanbase would buy these

>>6142228
>none of them would buy anything aside from Pops.

I would.

And you, mate, are a very negative nancy.

>>6142236

I only go to tumblr for the porn. And yes, I totally would buy them.

Quandary: if an SJW fights for social justice, does that mean people who think they are wrong are opposed to social justice? Do they prefer an unjust society, and if so, why don't they move to one of the many ones that already exist?

>>6142247


That's like saying you're against animals rights if you oppose PETA.

Everyone's the hero in their own story. In their minds, they think they are the hero when they fight for Social Justice and anyone who opposes them are evil. Trouble is, the people opposing them aren't necessarily against Social Justice.

>>6142247
If you were comprised of 20,000 clones, then a SU toy line would be worth making. Better get on it.

>Because some of the characters' anatomies will not translate well to a toy
>Because we'll all complain that they suck
>Because a shit company like Mattel/NECA/Funko/Jazwares will fuck it up in various ways

>>6142268
Bad analogy since PETA has been exposed as rather shitty to animals themselves, but I get what you're trying to say.

You are correct, it doesn't necessarily mean you're against the idea of social justice if you oppose SJWs, but at least from what I've seen, those who oppose them are usually from one of two camps:

>1. Those who ARE legitimately against social justice, whether by apathy or because they genuinely endorse racism/sexism/homophobia etc.

>2. Those who react to the term "SJW" like a buzzword and haven't stopped to think about what it actually means or represents

Folks from camp 2 are usually pretty amusing, cause they'll complain about SJWs but if questioned, their stances more often than not align with them. These types are usually parroting stuff they've heard from others without any real personal opinions to back them up.

>>6142337

You seem pretty adament in thinking Social Justice is inherently heroic and worthy of support no matter what.

Or maybe I'm just jaded because the "Social Justice" I've been exposed to have been the type that tends to like to CENSOR things I like just to protect feelings of a minority. That, and the incidents regarding the Steven Universe fanbase where they drove a child to near suicide because they drew a character they like wrong, or even driving the creators out from their own social media sites when they tried to defend people drawing what they want. Also, them crying about Steven Universe being censored in the UK when they were laughing at Street Fighter fans for them complaining about Capcom's censorship changes.

But I have a feeling you're going to say those opposing SJWs are inherently more evil than those who fight for Social Justice, so I think I'll leave it at that.

>>6142337
I've seen all the pro censorship and victim complex BS that these kids endorse. Not to mention the need to find issues in every non issue, from micro aggressions/racism in everything to misgendering somebody=violence against the person. The list can go on but I don't feel like it.

The Social Justice movement has become rife with ideological extremists who think everyone opposed to what they believe in is evil, and that because they're evil, they don't stand on equal grounds. They don't use reason and often resort to emotional responses to win an argument. I had a chick at my college calling me a racist and a xenophobe for saying whites can be victims of racism. They're the definition of hypocrite.

Don't act like the movement is perfect and anyone against it is either ignorant or a bigot. That's the shit you'd expect from someone with a closed mind or an SJW advocate themselves.

>>6142337

SJWs aren't SJWs because of what they stand for, SJWs are SJWs because they're pieces of shit. It's a derogatory term for a specific strain of liberal asshole that they've attempted to twist into a badge of honor.

>>6142361
Didn't some white dude at a con cosplay as Garnet and people claimed blackface because he wore brown facepaint?

>>6142366
Media outlets have adopted the term Social Justice to essentially mean liberal youth,primarily in regards to advocates gender or race issues.

>>6142228
I'm buying Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat and have several Steven Universe minis and there's nothing you and your narrative can do about it

>>6142374
There's always outliers, m8. You aren't in the majority.

>>6142367

If the Overwatch cosplay incident regarding a particular brown character is any indication, then not even asians are safe.

>>6142385
>then not even asians are safe.

Don't you know anything? Asians are basically just white people in the eyes of SJWs.

This is a thread about toys and a silly cartoon you jaded fucks.

Rebecca Suger and some of the other crew members are undeniably tumblr types but the show hasn't made any major political statements.

The closest thing it has are lesbian aliens.
Something that wouldn't bother you people at all If it were in an anime.

Anyway back on topic.
U KNOE?

>>6142367
That...literally is blackface though? I don't understand what you're trying to say. Are you being facetious? Do you think that blackface isn't blackface unless the paint is literally jet black? Or are you just straight up racist? I don't get your angle.

>>6142393
>>6142400
Well this is embarrassing.
Thanks 4chan app.

>>6142402
If it's just to look like a black character is it really though? Unless he's painting big red cartoon lips to boot to offend people I don't see it as blackface until it starts being about a statement or to belittle people of color. For example, Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder. I personally wouldn't call that blackface.

>>6141699
I think they really fucked up the Adventure Time toyline (Fuck you, Jazzwares) and so their being really cautious about SU.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_GS7lYKDWY

That being said my sister bought a cute little $3 Steven with his shield from HotTopic.

>>6142414
Robert Downey Jr.'s clueless, disconnected character in Tropic Thunder was meant to lampoon the kind of people who would do blackface in real life and have no idea it was wrong. There is a difference between simply slapping on makeup to play a black character, and doing it in a meta fashion that highlights what is wrong with doing so.

And yes, even if it's just to look like a black character, that's still blackface by definition. There's no clause saying "you're fine as long as you don't do the lips." You may not see it that way, but that's the way it factually is. The message here is, any race can cosplay Garnet--by wearing her outfit. Leave your skin the color it is.

>>6142414
I'm guessing you aren't black, right? It's not up to you to decide what does or doesn't belittle black people. Which blackface most definitely does. You might not see it as a big deal, but then again, you don't possess the tools to. It's not your struggle, so it's not your place to speak on it.

>>6142385

Addendum. The character is NOT black. So there's no real hang ups with blackface but SJWs decided to make it a problem.

>>6142437
>>6142429

Except the character's not really "black" in the "human black" sense. She's a gem. She's VOICED by a black person but that's about it. It"s not even the skin of a black petson by the colour of whatever Garnet is.

>>6142437

And yet SJWs (read: privileged white kids) speak on it and more. In fact, they'll even shit all over minorities who speak on it if those minorities don't support their side.

oooohhhhhh
what a wond-der-ful woooooorld

>>6142437
Holy shit, taking the moral highground, huh? Here. I looked up blackface and it's simply "a non black made up to look black" so hey, I guess it still is blackface, grammarically speaking. I still know the historical context of it though and acting like I'm incapable of even remotely seeing how others would feel about something is nice of you to assume. It goes without saying that people will never 100% understand how others unlike them feel. My point was if he wasn't trying to piss people off an just wanted to look like Garnet claiming racism or cultural appropriation is bullshit. >>6142448 Come now. Sugar clearly based Garnet off of a black woman. Don't deny it.

>>6142400
>the show hasn't made any major political statements

I disagree. Homeworld policy (totalarian and expansionist) and the rebellion (individual choice over collective effort) are a huge part of the show and seem quite political to me.

I sort of got placed in the moral high ground by default when you tried to argue that blackface wasn't blackface unless they did the big red lips.

Also, thing is, his intent really doesn't matter in this case. He fucked up. There's history behind what he did even if he's unaware of it, and it's perfectly valid for people to be angry about it.

My theory on the lack of SU toys is that no one believes they would sell, as the main audience is female and they don't buy figures.

>>6142758

Believe it. But why should you care? Do you have impeccabble taste? If we go over your preferred shows, books, comics, games and music, won't we say a few times "This guy is a complete twat"?

>>6143001

Okay. Then let them be angry, and then they can go home and fuck themselves. Because there are limits, and complaining about skin paint in cosplay is over it in fifth gear.

It's because they'll know that mentioning SU brings about bitching and whining.

The last piece of official SU merch to come out were the PSHs and they were released late last year.
