So... Bismuth...

[RaeSyndrome]

With what you said before, she would not be on the same level because she was actually doing something right. Eliminating the problems. Who cares if they kill things that are bad?

That's like saying you'd kill someone because of their different views and/or opinions. To Homeworld, they believe what they're doing is right even if the Crystal Gems find it wrong. Homeworld sees what the Crystal Gems are doing as wrong too. There is no right to killing at all, it's immoral, and yes it would put Bismuth on the same level as Homeworld. The only thing it would bring is more casualties, as it has over the course of the war. Why kill when you can settle disputes without murder? It's already been proven that you can be friends and solve problems WITHOUT death. Peridot and Lapis befriending the Crystal Gems are perfect examples of this. There was no need to kill anyone for them to side with them and join them on Earth. On top of this, killing a gem was what started the war in the first place. Shattering gems won't solve it. Liberation can happen without death. "Killing things that are bad is OK" isn't a valid argument either. Sure it may be our view point that Homeworld is nothing but bad, but I believe there is more to them than that. Homeworld gems do what they do because they were created for a purpose and that's all they know. Rather than immorally murdering them, someone needs to show them that they can be their own gem and that they can be free to be who they want without bending to someone else's demands. Just as the higher gems need to be shown that there's more to life than tyranny and more to life literally. That there are others in the universe besides them that also have importance and value. They need to experience LOVE. Just as the Crystal Gems have come to know. And killing others is not love. Death will solve nothing and will only bring more grief than it's worth. And who cares? Well the other Crystal Gems do, which says a LOT already.

Homeworld is bigger than just Lapis and Peri.

Homeworld is bigger than just Lapis and Peri.

Well duh.

 

[RaeSyndrome]

Homeworld is bigger than just Lapis and Peri.

The whole point was, it's possible to befriend one another without death. To liberate without death. To stop a war without death.

I think bismuth will come back later in season 4 because I don't really see Rebecca hyping the fandom for another crystal gem just for her to be poofed again in barely one episode. If lapis was able to come back Bismuth should be able as well.
