Of course Peridot would have a large role, she WAS on the ship, and she was the interrogater. However, that doesn't mean Jasper had no part of it at all. It just means Peridot played a part in it, and besides, she was the beta escort anyway.

I feel like Lapis is demonized too much. She was forced into something she wasn't involved into, then interrogated unfairly (she was on the battlefield=she was a crystal gem? homeworld logic smh), then cracked, then let out, then couldnt even get to HOMEWORLD (i hope she didnt use any freshwater though) without using earth's main resource, then cured, then kidnapped, then interrogated AGAIN, then forced into something she didn't want but had to do (Malachite), then she had to keep a Gem down so it wouldnt hurt her or Steven, then was beaten, then was freed but knocked unconcious, then had to live on Earth with a Gem she was forced to be with even though she didn't like her for very understandable reasons, then she had to be reminded of Malachite (which she hated) by Jasper, who tried forcing her in AGAIN, and now is stuck in a barn with a hyperactive dorito. What a satanic embodiment.

Then we have Jasper. Sure, she hates herself, and her Diamond was killed, but that doesn't excuse a lot of the things she had done. She insulted the CG for no real reason, she stabbed Garnet (basically knocking her unconcious), then knocked out Steven. Later, she yells at Sapphire for singing at a very low pitch, then fights Garnet, saying her relationship is invalid and she is nothing more than a cheap trick, nearly beats her but is thrown in the core (destabilizing her), then tries to fuse with Lapis despite the latter OBVIOUSLY not wanting to, but pressures her into it, then gets her comeuppance for doing all of this (which is bad apparently), then takes control later on to destroy the Crystal Gems (after eating what could have been dozens of innocent Watermelon Stevens, implying she wanted to do the same to the ACTUAL Steven), then goes bye-bye as she goes into the ground, then finds the ship Lapis is and tries to force her into Malachite AGAIN because she's a masochist now, then attacks what are basically innocent, confused Gems for her own gain as if they're ATTACK DOGS, then fights Amethyst and almost KILLS her, then catches more Gems, cages them all and treats them like garbage, then fights Amethyst, calling her weak and defective, and lies she would be killed on Homeworld (as seen by the Famethyst, defective Gems from her kindergarten still worked at the zoo), then forces a corrupted Gem to fuse with her, then corrupts.

Honestly, I felt bad for Jasper, but I feel like her 'innocence' is grossly exaggerated. Unlike Lapis, whom only hurt people physically when she was upset, they traumatized her and tried to get her to fuse, or they tried to get in the way, and only emotionally when she was ticked off at that person (also, I doubt she knew what drowning could CAUSE, since according to a promo art, she doesn't know what death means), Jasper did it just to DO IT, and tried shattering a Crystal Gem, a fate which i feel is worse than death. Lapis is far from my favorite character, or even Gem, and I admit that she did a lot of bad to downright cruel things, but saying Jasper is 100% more redeemable than Lapis is kinda just mean. I like both Gems, though. What a paradox.

Whatever, these are just my two centipeedles.
