Speaking of bears, I think Garfield made fun of Dobson's mentality already around 20 years ago.
Dobson: If you ever disagree, it means that you are wrong, I am andrew Dobson and sing my little song.
If it goes according to Dobson, Steven Universe is all awesome because it features lesbians and Bare Bears is all about diversity, because it is a brown bear (blakc person) an ice bear (white person) and a panda (asian) living together.
If he considers the later already progressive than I think he is more racist than he thinks, as he obviously thinks that "representation of minorities" is already achieved just by a different skin color. As for the Steven Universe thing, he has slightly a point but he makes a mountain out of a mole hill.
Regarding what I get from Steven Universe, it goes like that: It is made obvious that one of the characters was in love with the former leader of the gems (Steven's mom), who died a decade earlier. And the show tries to make her sympathetic in a certain way as it is shown she still seems to mourn the loss, while hiding it behind a facade of being the smart and logical one. So the SU fans jump on her, considering her deep and emotional, when in reality she also comes off a lot like a condescending cunt who had a stalker crush on someone who saw in her only a friend. The other thing is, one of the characters is a "fusion". A fusion is when two gems fuse together to form a new being with a shared mind. Normally two gems do that in battle to increase power, but the character in particular (Garnet) is actually a fusion born from the love of the two gems that form her and both are women named after the two versions of Pokemon Generation 3. I will be fair tough and say, the show does with Garnet and her fusion status an overall better job than expected. It has a certain relevance to the plot and while the creators are "proud" of their idea, they don't shove it into your face how progressive they are with it, unlike the guys behind Legend of Korra did after the show finale on tumblr. It really is the fault of people like Dobson that the shit is blown completely out of proportion.
Or in short: One is progressive because of multicolored skinned/furred bears, the other is considered progressive because for some reason when the west decides to do shit Sailor Moon did 20 years ago, it is the most advanced move in storytelling ever.
