Rebecca Sugar said White didn't have an actual sense of identity. She believed she is just the default pure white light and thought everyone else was her in a sense, which is why she wanted to remove flaws and thought she can forcefully override others. For her they were all the same. It seems like White is the first Gem and the creator of the rest (though we don't know who created HER), so maybe the Gemkind was originally created in her attempt to remove her own flaws? Her fragile sense of identity could be related to whatever's happening to her in the Future's opening.

7:09 "She's stronger, faster," *and bigger too* *she's the first member of* *the diamond crew*

T pose for dominance.

Bro ofc she is an narcissist she literally lives IN HER HEAD

I love how the Three Diamonds represent 3 types of abuse. Yellow is the physical, Blue is the emotional, and White is the psychological one. For me, Abuse of any kind is the third of the WORST CRIMES of humanity

If every diamond were perfect we wouldn’t have stevens

I like how all of the Diamond's special aura powers seem to be connected to gemkind. Steven is the exception, but when isn't he? Blue and Yellow can have also physical effects when concentrating their auras, and White has probably no effect on any organic being, since she needs to hit a grmstone.

I remember reading this very interesting comment about White from Rebecca Sugar. Something a long the lines of how she views herself as the default of all gems, and that all gems are a lesser distillation of her. So in a sense, before the events of Change Your Mind, White really had no sense of self.

White Diamond’s worst enemy has to be herself, imagine spending thousands of years in your own head believing everything you say is final, until one day you start doubting yourself. I thought her idea of perfect was twisted but I doubt she thought of herself as cruel or enjoyed the suffering of others, after Steven freed her from herself she seemed genuinely happy to turn over a new leaf and figure out what’s considered morally right and wrong. Redeemed White’s socially awkward behaviour is also her questioning whether what she’s doing is on the right track, and maybe some guilt as she probably regrets the harm she was causing for others. (I mainly guessed that from that awkward hug she gave in her final scene)

I know she was the scariest character on the show until she was “redeemed”.

Anyone else scared shitless by White in Change Your Mind?

I see how the most broken she is out of the diamonds, because she is a perfectionists that has high standards because she's worried that she isn't good enough for everyone else: even for the rules, people close to her and herself. I always see her being the worry of the diamonds.

*_[Yeah yeah, White is great, but WHAT ABOUT A RUBY VIDEO!?! WHEN, WHEEEEN]_*

What happens when you try to pick up White Diamond at a bar: WD: "it's cute how you think you're good at negging."

6:24 Kris Karr: I'm no psychologist *Shows picture of a lawyer* Me: and the point of that was to...?

She's by far my favorite character in the show

*[White Diamond? More like White Lamp]*

I think all the Diamonds have some sort of mental health disorder. Blue clearly suffers from Depression, it's basically her main trait. Hell, her powers cause others to burst into tears, not unlike sudden drops in emotions. Yellow is suffering from anger issues, possibly Bipolar Disorder. Her tendency to suddenly flip from calm to unyielding rage is very much like a bipolar drop. White, as was mentioned in this video, likely has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. And finally Pink, or more specifically Steven. Steven has PTSD. Not surprisingly, considering he nearly died basically every other episode of the show. But I'd actually like to mention other gems, in particular, everybody's favourite dorito, Peridot. I personally believe Peridot may suffer from an attachment Disorder. I think this because of three distinct events. 1) Peri's dependency on her limb enhancers. When she reforms, she's extremely despondent to the loss of her limb enhancers, continuing to lock herself in Steven's bathroom even after she was given the okay to move around the house freely. 2) Her dependency on her tablet. She grew so attached to the device that when Amethyst tossed it towards the ocean, the mere thought of losing it caused Peridot to unlock her ferrokinesis. 3) Her attachment to Lapis and how depressed and angry she got whenever Lapis pushed her away (Seehere: the moment Lapis crushed Peri's tape recorder, another object of emotional importance to our dear lime flavoured dorito), and worse of all, when Lapis took the barn and straight up abandoned Peridot. (Edit: Removed a rather foolish and insensitive “connection” between Peridot’s attachment disorder and her AroAce identity)

Her design is just magnificent, just like her She's totally my fav character

“If every pork chop we’re perfect,we wouldn’t have hotdogs” -Steven

I actually have adelaphobia and I didn’t realize it. I can relate to her the most

Hey don't insult WD by comparing her to Snoke. At least she's got character :3

White diamond is amazing, but her head looks like a white sun with a face lol

I believe that White diamond was created with the planet when that solar system was formed, as white grew she learned her unique powers and found out she had 3 lights that made her. Which was Yellow Cyan Magenta which makes White. She possibly used those lights in her gem to create the other diamonds and also use her advanced technology in the gems she made and gave them a purpose and use the lights to create the diamond. Then those diamonds started making other gems while she was giving them a purpose The pink flaw was just a sign that she was connecting with pink, the same thing would happen with other diamonds too

White Diamond is one of my favourite characters in SU and SUF. Really wish we got to see more of the Diamonds, ideally after the movie or even before with OG Pink, as I have a theory that Pink was exaggerating how bad they were since that’s what kids do a lot 😱

*Waits for people to make racist “white is perfection” jokes*

Even though she doesn't mind control people anymore, White Diamond still don't play

So WD is a big time executive officer at a Fortune 500 company who doesn’t have time for her yellow, blue or pink children confirmed

It’s not because emotions that she thought was inferior she throughly she was flawed because she thought she was right about pink diamond was still here like pearl did when they were hanging out with baby Steven but like pink Steven said “SHE’S GONE!!!” when white found out she wasn’t right and was roasted by Steven after she threw a tantrum

Unpopular opinion: I love White diamonds Reason why: I’m into villains and the more evil they are the more they my favorite. White diamond give me old time mother vibe. She like the mother who trauma her kids and mind control her children this cause her children more like her . White diamond also give me the vibe of the mother of TANGLED . Both showing love to they “ children “ to make them do what they want and hurt people who get in the way . Analysis of white: white is the first diamond that we hear so she want to look perfect to show she can handle everything. It’s like a mother that have to be perfect for they kids but by doing that they traumatized them. White also that villain who work her high point. She work hard to show that she more powerful then everyone . Real life white diamond is a rare thing to get and you mostly get it for your love ones. So it’s amazing seeing the she abuse you mentally by showing you love so you won’t fight back when she ask you for something This is all my opinion.

When white mind controls other gem it’s called bleaching which takes color from gems

White diamond been listening to Beyoncé flawless on repeat

Do Pink diamond pls 😁😁😁

That moment when you realize you have Atelophobia: " But I'm supposed to know better, I'm supposed to BE better! "

I don’t know if it’s fair to call White a narcissist. After Pink Steven brought her to her knees (literally), she admitted she was wrong, and her response to seeing Centipeedle was pure empathy. She had simply learned to distance bottle her emotions, not horribly uncommon after an emotional loss (Pink). Steven’s breakthrough put an end to that behavior.

Third best character in the show, best diamond Don’t @ me

2:24 as for this little latest games of yours Yes sure 10000 years are nothing

Once you get to Pink Diamond, keep in mind the IRL source of pink coloring in a diamond. Pink is NOT caused by inclusions, but rather, molecular voids resulting from defects in the diamond's crystal lattice. Now, White said the source of her control was the removal of impurities, yet, her aura ray was completely unable to reach Pink Steven. That would make sense if Pink Diamond had no impurities to remove. This may also be a metaphor for one of the show's most important morals: LGBT people are fine just as they are; they don't need to be fixed.

See white diamond is a gaslighting gems

Unpopular opinion: The crew had a fabulous character, someone who could be a real threat. Someone who could possibly be used to show that some people can’t change. That the only way is to fight. But no! Instead the redeem her in one episode, then she was defeated by becoming pink? What an idea.

The only problem with White is that the Crewniverse didn’t had much time to write for her more

FINALLY WHITE DIAMOND, now we just need the diamond that started Steven Universe, GOOD OL PINK DIAMOND

I think they call more higher status gems "your clarity" because they are more valuable like a sapphire or a diamond 💎.

But she’s rocking Mcqueen level shoes

I'm not sure if she's the strongest diamon though. pink diamond's sheild can block any attack, no matter how powerful, rose's sword can instantly poof any gem, and pink can easily heal almost anything.

I'm really hoping you guys do two seperate videos for Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz!!! or one video with half focusing on pink and half focusing on rose :-)

NerdWire: White is the strongest Diamond Pink: BITCH I BRING PEOPLE BACK TO LIFE WITH MY TEARS

Good analysis of White! Got to know a lot more about her.

I like white💎

Please let Steven be next to breakdown

So since White is my Birthstone uhhh *HaI sTaRlIgHt*

3:04 blue diamonds, gem is drawn wrong

1:57 I laughed way to hard at black fingy nails 😂

Yes FINALLY IVE BERN WAITING FOR THIS lov the vids

White D is Beautiful and sometimes cute.

*Now steven and white needs a therapist* 🤣😂

"It's more accurate to say that people with narcissistic personality disorder or NPD are in love with" [AD] "Kaufland!"

7:21 is that a middle finger🤣😂🤣😂

What if the diamonds (and steven too, I guess) fused together

I adore the way Rebecca and the crewniverse has handled the diamonds as villains, it’s so easy and only seems to get easier to just classify someone as just plain evil even when we consciously know it’s more complicated than that. Just look at how quickly some people in our celebrity culture get put into the good or evil category without much thought. Remember that period of time when people felt justified in harassing Britney Spears into mental breakdowns because she was an “out of touch overly sexualized druggie alchoholic pop star”? Or how about reconciling people who have done gods awful things like Jim Jones and how before the cult he was known as someone who fought passionately for civil rights. Or John Wayne Gacy who loved to entertain children dressed as a clown. These things by far do not make up for the horrible things they did, but it does remind you how people are complicated and often not as one demential as let’s say, our picture of Stalin. Heck, there’s still a lot of people arguing whether or not Rasputin was evil or just a guy who got the short end of the stick. A lot of people like to compare the shows philosophy with the comic making fun of it with Hitler and Steven saying, “it’s ok, he says he’s sorry”. Which aside from being reductionist to the whole show and is an easy strawman for bad faith criticisms, is under valued. I sadly always forget his name, but there was a famous black jazz musician who collected KKK hoods, of members he basically convinced to resign, including high wizards. He did this by just having a drink and talking with them, often finding they had no personal experience with black people so they got a whole lot of misinformation. He was highly successful at this. And sadly, we’re seeing this still and it being hard still with people doubling down on negative traits because they’re afraid of things like, being ostracized by their friends and family, hurting their own self image and perception, being taken advantage of, being left behind by the system or ever changing times, etc. Rebecca said that the message she hoped people took from the movie was “that it’s ok to be a work in progress” and I hope by the time I’m 80, that will have stuck.

Clarification is that Diamonds aren't and have never been rare the brewer brothers bought up rights to pretty much all diamonds and control how much are given to jewlers.

PINK DIAMOND NEXT!!!

0:07 Steven: Are you sure about THAT?

*I love how the diamond just T pose and white has been T posing for eons*

“Stronger, **faster** and more durable” White diamond: literally barely walked let alone ran in change your mind

I was waiting for the Aries comparison, as we're hotheaded and stubborn and tend to act without thinking about others. As both an Aries and someone with NPD, I relate to White Diamond almost too much.

Her eyebrows are on fleek damn

1:25 light-shed?

That “You dare raise your shield against me?!” was so anime

the gem equivalent to blood shed is either cracking and or chipping.

Does anyone find it interesting how even White has a soft spot for Pink? Like, just WHY? I get that Pink is a very fun and adorable characters I imagine, especially in her younger years, but why does all the Diamonds adore her so much, even White Diamond, to the point that Yellow even gets slightly bitter about it? Pink/Steven was the only one she allowed in her Head upon coming to Homeworld, she didn't immediately use her mind powers on Pink/Steven, and she even has a pet name for Pink/Steven.

White diamond is on my list of favorite characters.

I don’t think anyone realizes that White Diamond’s design is a combination of all the other diamond’s outfits put together into one.

*sees white for the first time and passes out of fear*

Just Like In Your Pearl Symbolism And Blue Symbolism Video: I Know You Don't Like Rose/Pink But She Is A Crystal Gem/Diamond And Just Because She Did Some Bad Things In The Past Doesn't Mean She's That Bad. 🌹💎

I think we all drew to conclusion, but were smart/gracious enough not to mention "him". Thank you.

*HELLO STARLIGHT*

It's disgraceful how badly they wasted such an original, disturbing and unsettling villain

PLS DO PADASPARATICHA OR TOMATO SAPPHIRE!!!!!! WE NEED A VID ON HER!!!!

What would happen if while white was controlling someone she shape shifted into something with everyone under her control also be that thing?

Do fusion gems next!

Can you do pink diamond or a.k.a rose quartz?

Honestly white dimond i feel you

Familiar.... Why this feels so familiar

5:29 what the hecc no ones PERFECT!!

I think it's a testament to the writers skill that I never watched the show beyond clips and reviews yet the second I saw her I instantly knew "abusive mom".

White diamond:I wanna snap pearls neck 7:37

White diamond is pretty much every strict mom ever in existence

Can you please make Pink? I want to her bad habit of “running away and leaving everything behind (her friends, her mess) and never looking back”

Steven tries to slam her head in a pillar

In suf people seem to think pink white diamond is a fusion between jasper and white because of wierd lines on whites torso but if you pause at a certain moment you can tell she always had them

2:00 She also has the Disney villain’s cupid’s bow XD

do fusions next

1:27 I would say shard Shed

HOW DARE YOU CALL ME FLAWED!

Masters Candidate in Clinical Mental Health here, and....I actually don't have anything to add on narcissism 😅 But here is a comment anyway! Love your videos!

0:07 Actually, Pink Steven is the most powerful, despite surviving White Diamond’s powerful attack uvu

You should start doing the off colors next.

I haven't seen anything past Change Your Mind, so I always assumed that White had a creator since she said "I'm supposed to be perfect" like it was her life's purpose

Yellow and blue diamond is so cool I just want to get magical powers
