“PINK DIAMOND LIED TO GET OUT OF HER RESPONSIBILITIES AS A DIAMOND!!“ “SHE’S IRREDEEMABLE FOR THAT!!” “THE EXPERIMENTS, THE CLUSTER, JASPER!!”
ah yes,
And, for my final trick, the biggest issue I’ve seen people have with Pink/Rose is…that. Ugh. Okay… let’s do this.
Pink Diamond did NOT lie to get out of her “responsibilities” as a Diamond.She lied to free herself and her gems from the idea of Pink Diamond.

Specifically this one. Yellow and Blue clung to that idea of Pink long after Pink told them that’s not who she is or wanted to be.
and when they didn’t listen, THIS was her answer.
She wanted to give the Earth to the Crystal Gems–Gems who chose to fight with her, not Gems who fraught with her because she was their Diamond and it was their magical destiny.
If the Crystal Gems were not literally fighting Pink Diamond, then they were fighting a figurative Pink Diamond, and because of that, this “lie” changes nothing as far as I’m concerned; Rose is still the cunning sweetheart who fought for Love and Change, and she’s still the foolish child who never quite got empathy, until her time with Greg.
