I'm not being "blinded" by anything. You replied rather quickly so I assume you may have not read my wall of text, but I made some good points about Lapis. Steven Universe as a show has been praised for dealing with sensitive and "adult" themes and this episode was absolutely one of them. It's just so many people are unable to see it, and it makes me scared for humanity, because it's such a clear metaphor, made in a perfect way for a kids show.

I think Rebecca herself was in an abusive relationship and that's clearly her inspiration for this episode.
