"Ho ho, what's so biological about my picture of a cute anime girl eating a burger?" OK, aside from the already mentioned fact that only something built like us can even perceive the thing as intended, we are seeing a female member of our own species with highly neotenous characteristics consuming a food object that is dense in our-species-digestible calories and nutrients, and you're asking what's biological about it???

"All art is political"? WRONG! All art is sexual. The strongest, basest drive we have, underlying all of our psychology at a fundamental level, is the reproductive drive. Rule 34 exists for a reason: we make porn of every work of art because every work of art is already pornographic, acting subconsciously to titillate our sexual impulses.

"Ho ho, what's so sexual about my picture of a cute anime girl eating a burger?" Are you seriously asking this in 2026?? Anyway, blonde girl putting something thick and juicy in her mouth, NEXT QUESTION. "Fuck! OK, that was an easy one. But what about my Piet Mondrian wall print? It's literally just a bunch of squares." My brother in Yog-Sothoth, we have all read the 4chan thread about the guy with the bathroom tile fetish. Everything is a sexual.

"All art is political"? WRONG! All art is theological. Everything we do is grounded in our relationship to the ultimate source of being in the universe. To exist at all is to be dependent on that which transcends space and time, and this is doubly true of conscious, thinking beings. Even so-called secular art smuggles in a wide variety of assumptions about cosmic truths that the creator imbibed from their surrounding culture. And atheist art, of course, is also making an explicit claim about theology, even if it is a negative one.

Hi, @hieronymus-botch, how does it feel to be exactly the problem being called out in the OP?

Question: Another influence, especially lately, you can draw comparisons between Steven’s miracles and Christ figures. Are you exploring this, and potentially modernizing that allegory, with different kinds of love?

Rebecca: We’re inspired by every voice that has ever spoken about peace. I think–I’ve been reading about Hillel the Elder and how he said “If I’m not for myself, then who will be for me?”...

So no, Steven Universe (the character based on the Jewish author's Jewish brother) who is an allegory for, among other things, "being trans" and "generational trauma stemming from familial abuse" is not, in fact, Jesus.

In fact (spoilers, I guess) the finale has Steven undergoing the opposite of Jesus' character arc - he learns that sacrificing himself for humanity was a mistake which solved nothing and he finally brings about peace by saying "I am myself, take me or leave me but I'm going home".

No but this one really is jesus you guys! It totally doesn't matter that the original creator specifically answered a question asking if it was Jesus by talking about a Jewish figure.

A Jewish figure, by the way, who predates Jesus by centuries and was a major inspiration for Jesus' sect of post-Judaism/proto-Christianity - there couldn't possibly be a coincidence there! It's definitely not your ignorance, it's really secretly Jesus you guys!
