"But her own statements don't hold much water."

I'm not going to refute this i'm just enjoying this (possibly unintentional) pun.

I agreed that Lapis continuing to fuse with Jasper was idiotic, so I can't really refute most of what you said, either.

OK, I feel like a lot of what I say could be misread at this point, so I'll put it bluntly: '''I don't like Lapis very much. She was cruel a lot and treated most people like trash for no good reason. But I'm arguing for her because Jasper is seen as more forgivable, even for actions I would find unforgivable.'''

It seems the fandom is just more forgiving of Jasper than of Lapis, even though a lot of things Jasper had done is way worse than Lapis, and I personally think aggression is even worse of a reason to do bad things than being tortured and feeling bad for yourself is. And being made to fight doesn't mean she can torture mentally abused people, murder others (hell, as a Crystal Gem, I'm sure Amethyst would have been valuable), etc. I just find it kinda unfair how the fandom is so quick to treat Jasper as if the things she has done were always mild inconveniences. I like her, but I find a lot of tings she has done unforgivable.
