#everyoneismiserable

It's kind of interesting how Steven Universe slowly built up the full picture of how miserable Gem society is over the course of pretty much the entire series. First it was established that the Gem society was miserable towards non-Gems/organics. Then it was established that is was miserable for those who chose to love or act outside of Gem's standards. Then it was established that it was miserable for lower class Gems. Then we find out that there are people who are just born "wrong" by Gem standards, and of course it's miserable for them too.

All of these come with the assumption that the people at the top are comfortable on the backs of all this misery. And then here we find out that even they aren't happy. ''Everyone'' in Gem society is miserable.

Even White is miserable. She copes by trying to make everything perfect, and deludes herself into thinking that perfection works. But everyone fails to live up to her standards so much that she hides herself away from society and never interacts with anyone, except to throw the occasioan control freak fit.
