Why do Furries love Steven Universe?

Part of the great thing about Steven Universe is that it manages to be as progressive as it is without feeling like its pushing an agenda.

Oh yes; it just feels like a very "queer" show to me.
I heard somewhere that Word of God has confirmed that Ruby and Sapphire are technically lesbians, as we humans would define them.

Of course it does. It's one Supernatural GIF away from being Tumblr: The Show.
Chiming in to add it is a beautiful show that touches on a lot of adult themes that kids can understand. What I prefer over this over adventure time is that adventure time kind of.. develops a plot then it either fizzles, drops, or everything gets fixed again. Pearl is shown to continue making mistakes- more grave than the last- and they communicate their issues in the end. Amethyst touches on themes of self hatred and abandonment, Pearl unhealthy codependant relationships, and so on and so forth. The show is very loving and human- I really enjoy it.
Its also nice to see progressive themes (women in love with other women) that doesn't feel like they're shoving it down your throat. Now obviously, the show has caveats- like starting slowly, and of course, steven being kind of annoying starting out. The point of the show, however, is that it progresses as Steven gets older and learns more things. The music is beautiful and the art is gorgeous. Its a great show.
Its not for everyone, obviously. I have no opinion on tumblr's reaction to it. Tumblr is tumblr is tumblr. As is reddit. Fortunately, both sites provide me with funny GIFs and cool stories.

The only reason I have ever heard of this show is that one of the characters shares a name with my mother, Pearl. And my mother is always complaining about how it's such a rare name. Seems like Steven Universe is popular with everyone, not just furries. Can't see my mom liking it because she's so homophobic, she'd think it was promoting lesbianism.

if you want more korrasami fluff, there will be some in the LoK comics.

I have a strange sadness when I think about Stephen universe...I think "gee, I would have loved that show as a kid!" Instead of "I love that show!" Kinda look at life differently I guess.
Ive heard good things about it. The creator was a sailor moon fan and it shows. ;3 I'm sure Ariosto noticed.

I think some kids shows are a lot more inventive nowadays than when we were growing up. They're allowed to tackle themes no one would have been able to get away with back in the 90s, which is great, but at the same time I wouldn't give up the stuff I had, since it helps me appreciate how cool modern animation can be. Not is, since not every show out there ATM is a winner, maybe not even most shows, but there's some light there.
As backward as it sounds, I think I need to watch more TV. A lot of modern culture is passing me by.

Actually 90's cartoons did tackle a lot of things that were relatable for that time. Like Hey Arnold!, Gargoyles, Captain planet. If a show tackled AIDS and safe sex nowadays, parents would throw a hissy fit. The only difference between today and the 1990's are the issues. Back then, you had shows that tackled gang violence, drug use, AIDS and HIV. Now it's LGBT, war, etc.

Oi, the thing about any show that sets fire to Tumblr is that it will generate a tsunami of super-hyped fans in its wake. Look at Supernatural, look at LoK, look at Homestuck, look at Doctor Who. There will /always/ be the loud, obnoxious, overexcited fans who only want to drag you into their fandungeons for the sake of having someone else to enjoy their superawesome favourite show with. And you hear the loud minority far more than the quiet majority, always. If it looks like a certain show or game has a huge cult following (haha) then it's just cause there's a relatively small group devoted to expounding its glory to the world.
What do you folks think, is this legit?

It's an apt assessment.

I like it because the storyline is very organized! They aren't spending every episode chasing Dorito Peridot, instead they put other episodes in the mix to keep the how from getting so overheated. But I do wanna see the Homeworld and Peridot finally getting captured. 
I also LOVE Warp Pads!

I personally enjoy Steven Universe because I feel like it's a great cartoon for kids. It doesn't always sugar coat that Bad Things Can Happen In Life, and it doesn't treat the audience like they're vapid idiots (staring as you, Dora the Explorer). I'm really happy that my grandnephew loves these kinds of shows, they feel like they're important for a developing mind.
And, the music is catchy, too. Much better than some kids shows manage.
