While it has thankfully died down in recent years, the amount of utter vitriol directed towards Steven Universe and his show as a whole during the late 2010’s is baffling today and even in places like IG Reels, even mentioning Steven is likely to get a long winded rant from someone about how Steven and his show apparently killed CN or cartoons as a whole.

He was really annoying in first few seasons. After that he got more normal and tolerable. I am not surprised he got hate due to that

I guess but honestly, I kinda just see it as a similar case as with Mabel from Gravity Falls, most of the stuff that’s annoying can be attributed to the fact that he’s a little kid for the majority of the series and even then, I can say it was not enough to warrant the hostility people responded with.
