You Are What You Love

Steven Universe with Mei Rothschild (Part 1)


Listen Later

Mei Rothschild, creator of the Webtoon original "Brimstones and Roses," joins to discus the animated classic, Steven Universe. 

We talk about how the show took steps for diversity on screen, how Steven's exploration of his own heritage represented a diasporic experience, and how the show broke ground in both style and subject matter. Tangents include how diverse media is held to an almost impossible standard, why adults aren't allowed to enjoy things for the sake of enjoying them, and the constant embarrassment of being alive.

We'll be back next week with part 2 of this interview!
