“pink diamond faking her death caused a war which made countless of gems get shattered! ”

Zircon said that rose quartz was a known treat for 700 years before the shattering. Her faking her death was something she thought was going to end this war, not to start it.

“why didn’t she try to change things from the inside? Why didn’t she try to convince the other diamonds?”

We saw her trying to convince them to leave Earth in the dream flashback in “can’t go back”. It didn’t work. Every time we saw pink trying to convince the other diamonds to do something they refused to listen and instead treated her like a child despite the fact that gems born adults. She thought that starting a rebellion would make them decide to leave Earth and when that didn’t work, she came up with the fake death solution. As far as she knew, the diamonds didn’t care about her and won’t miss her. There was no way she could have predict the curroption, which she tried to cure countless times later.

“Rose never really cared for Pearl, she just used her for her own selfish purposes”

Pink Diamond owned Pearl. She was born into a society where Pearls are serevent and their only purpose was to obey higher authorities. But despite that gems aren’t supposed to change, she meneged to unlearn this entire message she got since birth and instead treated Pearl as her equal and even fought so Pearl and other gems can live freely on Earth. In Pearl’s homogram flashback in “Rose’s scabbard” she gave her the choice to join her and also warned her about the risks, she didn’t want Pearl to sacrifice herself for her like she did in the war and even her “last (terrible) order as a diamond” was for her and Pearl to leave this power imbalance behind them.

Everything Rose did was what she thought would help other gems the most but had consequences far worst than she could have ever imagined. She never stopped regretting it, she even tried to come clean to Greg.

A lot of suffering was caused from her actions but she wasn’t the villan, just a flawed person who tried their best but messed up badly.
