I stopped watching right after Lemonhope killed my final bit of hope in this show. From what I can gather it doesn't get much better until maybe Season 7, where it just becomes boring nothing and never stops being like that. Some have said the Islands mini arc is good, but honestly I think they're just deluded.

There is plenty more wrong with the show than just that and you know it. For example, there's no story.
While looking at SU it's easy to mistake the events that transpire for a narrative. I mean, they meet new friends, fight enemies, and discover all kinds of new things about their world, how could there NOT be a plot? Well, despite all of these "big events" occouring in the show, never do they directly tie in to one another. Steven discovering something about his mom doesn't have any effect on the direction the show takes, the next episode doesn't show him asking anyone questions or searching for the answers himself, which in turn leads him to stumble upon something that spurs on further events in the episode after, it's essentially forgotten and instead followed up on with an episode about a pie eating contest or some stupid shit like that.
One of the most egregious instances of this happening is in the episode "Room for Ruby", where a little angry red person falls from the sky and ganks back the ship Steven and company effectively stole from her and her cohorts who work for Homeworld. Now, if you've seen previous episodes, you'd know that the CGs are essentially hiding out on earth from Homeworld, and them being discovered is very high on their list of concerns. Having Homeworld discover them would lead to Earth being invaded and everyone being killed, so a Homeworld operative returning to base with such information should be a major OH SHIT moment. Now, what do you think happens immediately after this? How do the characters react to these events transpiring? They don't. Garnet just shrugs and reacts in a way that is tantamount to having a cute dog knock over a plush toy, saying something along the lines of "Dawww, what a little rascal." Nothing changes, the CGs aren't scared shitless and trying ANYTHING to prevent that red person from returing to Homeworld and ratting them out nor are they trying to hide in case an invasion DOES happen, they just forget about it and move on, and the following episode is about something totally divorced from this seemingly big development… at least until a later episode when Homeworld finally invades and begins snatching up humans, but you see what I mean, right?
A story needs flow, it needs events to logically follow eachother in a way that makes sense, and SU almost never does that. SU prefers to bring up these plot points for an episode, forget about them for fifty episodes, and then bring them back up apropos of nothing and expect us to give a shit. The only time I can think of them NOT doing this is with Jasper after "Alone at Sea", whose presence basically shaped the events of the rest of the episodes until the end of Season 3. Granted it wasn't perfect, but it was the closest this show ever got to a running plot in it's entire run.

Aside from the vocal gaggle of emotionally insecure and mentally damaged faggots, most aren't any more cancerous than any other fandom, however said faggots are easily worse than the most cancerous ones of shit like FNAF or MLP.
