MODERATORS
The show is an allegory for being trans and how family may treat you like shit for wanting different things than them. It is made for kids under 13 years old. Telling kids they should kill people after they have changed and agreed to fix what was broken seems like a bad thing.
Also, the creator (Rebecca Sugar) is a queer Jewish person, so I think they are well aware of the history of fascism and its consequences. They chose to make the tone and arc of the show anyways, and maybe you should think about why they made that choice before criticizing a children's show for not encouraging murder as a solution to problems.
Also, shattered gems are shown to still have at least some awareness, meaning that shattering the Diamonds wouldn't be killing them, but subjecting them to eternal torture. While also removing the only hope for fixing the gems that are corrupted. Which is what the Diamonds are tasked with to start making things right, along with giving up their social power over the rest of the gems.
Steven Universe was the first show that came to my mind too. And my issue isn't, "They should have murdered the diamonds." No one said that in this post or thread.
However, the fact that they just get forgiven with basically no consequence is a problem. Consequences don't have to be murder. But they kind of just agree to do the right thing from then on, while still staying in charge. We all know none of it works that way in the real world. There's no combination of words that someone could say to, for example, turn Trump into a good person.
They don't stay in charge, and they are also tasked with fixing all the corrupted and shattered gems from the war. So they give up their political power and fix their mistakes. I don't know what further consequences (that would be kid-show appropriate) they should get.
