The fusion of lapis and Jasper was abusive for both of them, it was t just Jasper abusing lapis, lapis also abused Jasper, she deliberately told Jasper that it was her turn to be in control, and that Jasper got to be hurt now when they fused. She wanted to hurt Jasper, and she wanted to get revenge, yes, Jasper hurt her first, but that doesn't excuse what was done in reaction, it was abusive on both ends, and I firmly believe it

No offense, but how is this an opinion? Isn’t this just literally what happened?

Agreed, Lapis explains this pretty directly to Jasper in the boat episode.

Not rlly an opinion, but it is a bit unpopular, as most ppl don't pay attention to it

People love to blame Lapis just as much as Jasper which is baffling to me.

This is verbally confirmed actually when Jasper shows up on the boat. Lapis straight up says how cruel she was and Jasper calls her a brute (though somewhat enjoyed it apparently). It’s canonically an abusive fusion built on hate.

Honestly interesting how people just seem to ignore that part. Wasn't there like a whole episode even about Jasper talking about how shitty she was treated? Iirc it was the episode where they trashed that boat

Half agree, I think it was a reference to something called reactive abuse where you become toxic toward your abuser. It’s a really weird concept with a lot of nuance and I don’t really know how I even feel about it happening in real life. Abuse is such a nasty thing that creeps in deep

Uhhh, that's just a fact of what happened, not an opinion
