Well there is another thing

Rebecca is not the only one to have a say in Steven universe plots

Yes she is the creator but she is not the writers

And Peridot's voice actor says Lapidot and Pearlmythst two ships that would be ruined if this ship becomes canon 

Though she doesn't have a say it's important.

like cmon I don't want to be stuck looking at amedot on tumblr 

No tank you

Lapidot will be a laughing stock

Pearlmythst would be dead

And it would end up like stevidot or any ship involving garnet

But in the end we would ship it if it becomes canon

Like for example Lapidot

How I started shipping it

Tbh I started shipping it when I saw the leak for barn mates

Before that I shipped peridorito with...

Steven

OMFG I know I ship stevidot 

Hell and it was a real sinner

So

Point.
