Steven Universe packs a punch when it comes to representation. Race, gender, orientation, and more are all covered in some form. The traditional roles of family and gender are questioned, and yet viewers are not generally offended by how different and progressive this show is. Steven Universe has a refreshing maturity about it, the likes of which are very rarely seen in children's television programming. It treats children like intelligent beings, like they can understand the world around them, and shows that they pay attention a lot more than adults realize, and they deserve to have answers instead of being ignored.
