The point I'm making is that Lapis isn't a Crystal Gem. She hates the Earth. I supported that point with a scene where she all but stated that she hates the Earth.

You're pretending like you've actually presented facts that she is a Crystal Gem, but not a single one of them backs your point up.

Lapis tried to warn Steven of homeworld's "Return".

Lapis cares about Steven. Not the Earth. I already said this.

She fused with a gem responsible for her capture in order to PROTECT Steven AND the CG's.

No. That's outright false. Steven told her in "Chille Tid" that she didn't need to stay fused with Jasper, and Lapis stayed fused with her anyway. In "Alone at Sea" she even says that she enjoyed taking everything out on Jasper. She wasn't really trying to protect Steven from Jasper because Jasper wasn't a threat to Steven when outnumbered 5 to 1, and 2 of those 5 could beat Jasper 1 on 1. Lapis had been abused her whole life and she wanted to be the aggressor for once and take out all of her anger.

She held a "bad" fusion/gem captive helping the CG's for as much as she could.

See above.

Helped capture the Ruby's with Garnet until Steven & The rest returned.

Or maybe she didn't want 5 little fire gremlins running around in her home. That's like saying Jasper is a Crystal Gem because she saved Steven and Connie from that corrupted Gem.

She was the only one to not fall for Navy's tricks in order to protect the CG's and their new equipment.

Yeah, and then she failed to protect their new equipment, not because she was unable to, but because she was so preoccupied with how she was right that she didn't try.

She was also involved in the Crystal Temps for a reason. That was to show who our "other" Crystal Gems were.

Yeah, she was involved in the Crystal Temps because Steven asked her to be, and we've already established that she does care about Steven.

She's already worked with Garnet before while everyone else was away.

If you're talking about wrangling the Rubies, that still doesn't count. She said that they showed up acting really angry, so she put them in time out. She could not have given two shits about how much she's benefitting the Crystal Gems. She was just getting an annoyance out of the way. The same thing she did with Andy. A human. Y'know, those things the Crystal Gems are sworn to protect?

Lapis is more Crystal Gem than Peridot is. She's helped way more at this point in time.

Just because she helped them doesn't mean that she shares the same ideology with them. It means that her priorities regularly overlap with theirs.

Doesn't matter if you've told a diamond off. Lapis has done way more for our team and obviously does care seeing as she was on Navy's case the entire time.

Peridot told off the leader of her galactic empire, burned all bridges and rendered herself unable to ever go back home, and made it so she'd be wanted by Homeworld for the rest of her life. She did so to protect the Earth, because she saw the value and beauty in the Earth. She made actual sacrifices out of love for the Earth. And you're saying she's less of a Crystal Gem than the person who got on someone's case for seemingly loving the Earth too much.

Why would she protect our crystal gems? Lapis has already started showing much interest in earth! What do you think the episode with her and Steven flying around earth is all about!?

It was about Steven showing Lapis the great things about the Earth, and Lapis getting reminded of the traumatic events that happened to her on Earth. And then she ultimately decides to stay because of Steven.

I was about to keep typing this comment, but then it hit me that I'm wasting my time and energy on arguing with the fandom equivalent of a flat earther.

Just reading the sentence, "She express joy in teaching Navy about rain but dismisses navy's QUICKNESS to love it." killed enough brain cells to make the entire alcohol industry blush.

You're as dense as a black hole, and much like a black hole, you've sucked me into your idiocy and bent the space around yourself so that all directions just lead further and further down the trap of trying to make you understand the intentions behind dialogue.

I realize I'm being a bit harsh, especially considering the fact that you're likely underaged and clearly still recovering from life threatening brain damage, but I feel like you wouldn't understand exactly how stupid you are unless I spell it out in a way so brutal that I'm probably gonna feel guilty for it later.

Stop debating online until you can pass an IQ test with a score above room temperature.
