It did start out as a character in a series of children's books in the late 19th century by Florence Kate Upton, and was intended to be a positive magical person, but because she didn't copyright the character it ended up everywhere and became a quintessential icon of blackface.

Wow, what was even left?

I've always been impressed at how efficiently Steven Universe can pack in emotional punch, but that final 4 and a half minutes are incredible - Garnet's freezing up as Steven panics, the anger internal confflict between Ruby and Sapphire (Which Estelle nailed, by the way), Garnet finally coming to terms with the…

Connie to the seagulls: "Run back to your masters, tell them we're not afraid of your kind!"

Jimminy Jillikers!

I had a similarly difficult introduction to the series with Going Postal* , a book that takes for granted the now well-established world but is also stylistically dissonant thanks to Pratchett's brief flirtation with chapters. It would have been totally alienating if I didn't care so damn much about the characters and…

Thing from The Addams Family, implications be damned!

I've heard Scott C. describe the characters in the series as enjoying the fact that they are The Great Showdowns.
