While animated cartoons are similar to film in that the scenes shown on screen are controlled by the producers, cartoon drawing artists have more control over the view of the audience.
Although there are few male characters, they, too, are shown expressing their identity in more than one way.
Most of the characters in Steven Universe are female, but they each express their gender identity in a unique way. Carol Clover, when writing about gender in horror films, related that “what filmmakers seem to know better than film critics is that gender is less a wall than a permeable membrane.” (Clover 46) The idea of gender as a spectrum has now dominated in popular culture and is exemplified by the cartoon show, Steven Universe. As the issues of gender equality and expression have grown in popularity, modern cultural productions have reflected a change in ideology.
This includes the producers of the culture industry. With the popularity of social media allowing news and opinions to be shared quickly among many people, creators are more conscious about their depictions and possible interpretations of their work.
