And by children I don't mean 11-12 year old tumblr chicks that are already into fandoms, I mean actual fucking children that watch Cartoon Network on TV after school. And by 'watch' I don't mean passively letting it run in the background, but rather actively investing themselves in the story and shit.
Do actual children watch this shit?

kids don't watch cartoons user
John Cook
In my experience, no.
Most of the people watching this kind of stuff are grown ass men and women.
Nolan Diaz
No, just fat ugly dykes and some retarded waifufags
Henry Hall
Kek, no kid below 11 invest themselves in the story, just ask anyone outside of Yea Forums if they remember a single plotline of TMNT, He-Man or Thundercats.
Jonathan Martinez
Do people actually watch okay, k.O? what other cartoons do kids not watch ,amphibia?
James Thompson
You appear to be having a stroke
Bentley Nguyen
Kids watch ttg and tlh, while manchildren bitch about ttg and tlh
Nicholas Garcia
Lots of kids watch or have watched TLH, and I noticed that there's kids who watched Harvey Street Kids. That's about it.
Daniel Hall
I don't think most kids have the attention span to watch an overarching series, or at least get invested on them.

My dumb ass was able to follow teen titans back in the day. I don't see why not kids couldn't watch and keep up with shit. Especially now, since it's easy to get your hands on episodes and not wait for reruns
Kayden Garcia
i was invested in stories that young, but not weak episodic shit like TMNT He-Man or whatever and more like anime like Naruto
Ayden Phillips
anime is literally arcs, so I guess you must be wrong.

>implying 10-13 yo girls isn't the intended demographic of SU
Elijah Gomez
I don'r see more than 2 episodes of SU and there was nothing like narrative arcs.
Colton Gutierrez
When I was a dumb kid I watched cartoons for funny character interactions and cool fight scenes (which SUI is admittedly very stingy with). I would say no, but maybe they're smart enough to just skip filler eps
Jace Sanchez
My brother is 9. He likes Steven Universe. His friends like it too. My female cousin who's 6 loves it. Her Halloween costume was Garnet.
Chase Jenkins
OP here again, and another thing I find odd is the fact that SU is a children's program as it seems very pandering towards a teenage/womanchild audience. Why not just make it an adult series where you'd be actually able to explore the so-called "deep" themes of the show, instead of having to cut down on stuff so it can get broadcasted. Is it because the creators knew that the fans are pussies that can't handle serious intrigue? Is it because they genuinely thought it would appeal to children? Is it because they want to infect the minds of already developing children with themes of third wave feminism or transgenderism or whatever (Keep in mind I've only watched a few episodes back in like, 2015, so I'm not an expert on what the new episodes are about)
Luis Cox
I sure hope you're not black, if so your brother sounds moist as fuck.
Liam Price
It's bait for pre-teens. Basically very infantilized and "Cartoonnetwork-esque" anime
Ayden Campbell
Just look at their programming block, user. How often it is aired should tell you something. Also I don't think SU has ever been an "after school" show.
Blake King
yeah they do. kids aren't complete dumbfucks that are incapable of liking some story.

>With the latest episode nearly having the protagonist die on screen after his life support is ripped from his stomach
The phrase you're looking for is "accessible". Steven Universe is "accessible".
