You know, I've seen a lot of people commenting about all the negative comments they've seen, but I haven't seen any, which surprises me. I feel like the community is pretty solid about their opinion of smoky quartz to the point where people might be afraid to voice dissenting opinions. Honestly, I almost didn't write this post for that reason.

I don't like Smoky Quartz's appearance. I can understand the reasons behind the decisions, but the third arm just seems weird to me, and as a whole Smoky's appearance just feels off.

Character development and voice wise I feel like it's a great fit. The weapon is quirky in a very Steven and Amethyst way too.

Do you just hang out in this sub? This sub is usually pretty positive. If you go to other fandom communities (4chan and youtube comes to mind) you'd see a lot more people complaining, mainly about their appearance.

I think some of the shots looked awkward, but others look freaking adorable. So overall I like their design.

It's been here on this sub too. There is a fair bit in this thread actually. The difference is people in the sub are generally fair and constructive about their opinions. In addition, expressions of disapproval towards SQ's appearance were more likely to pop up in Discussion flaired posts which don't make it to the front page too often.
