Hussie saw the hornet's nest, got his best kicking shoes on, and just went sprinting at it.

To think, the pages of discussion we had over whether or not this was The Dumbest Thing that Homestuck has ever done. The fools we used to be.

Speaking as a Caucasian dude? Yeah, it's about that great. I heartily encourage being Caucasian to just about everyone.

Hussie throws a curveball, hitting us straight in the face, ricocheting off and knocking a bucket of water off a door onto our heads, as we stumble backwards into a pile of whoopie cushions before we realize that the entire ceiling is one coconut creme pie and it descends on us, killing the collective fan base instantly. He maxes out his Prankster's gambit and all of North America explodes from the exchange.

I don't get why everyone is so scared of Trickster Mode[tm]. I love it just for moments like this! Not only is it breaking the game, it's breaking Tumblr! Never change, Hussie. Never change.

Figures that I'd be in the minority here but boy howdy is that a stupid update that isn't funny at all! A shame since I'd been enjoying this interlude immensely without the weird race poo poo that Tumblr was bringing up until he literally forced the discussion into the story in the most flippant and condescending way possible. Ah yes, the top comedy has been reached.

Yeah, honestly I was laughing far more at what I feel Tumblr will do in light of this than the joke itself. Of course, I have a number of grievances with Tumblr to begin with, so the prospect of pissing on them and pissing them off is something I look forward to anyway....

FutureSushi posted:Figures that I'd be in the minority here but boy howdy is that a stupid update that isn't funny at all! Yeah, pretty much this. It was good for a laugh in the first split second, the kind where you laugh because you just don't know what the gently caress is happening. I'm really not sure how he's going to pull this into that whole "story" thing everyone keeps talking about, though. It really felt like he was actually going somewhere with it up until the last second, when instead he... well, did this.

Ablative posted:Yeah, honestly I was laughing far more at what I feel Tumblr will do in light of this than the joke itself. It's still a lovely thing to do. Saying "all the characters are aracial, they can be whatever you want!" and then going "whoops except now this one character's white" and then sniping at people who dare to criticize you for it is something I'd expect a 17-year-old deviantArt user to do. He's basically reacting to this in the most immature way possible, and saying you're laughing at the response of some Tumblr boogeyman doesn't excuse the fact that he did some bad stuff that they're right to be upset about.

Making all his characters white was a minor issue at worst. I like representation in media, but he made a bunch of white kids. Sure, why not, I'm not overly bothered. But he just had to set up a multi-step baiting of the people who would DARE be saddened about a lack of representation, putting every single person under the absurd banner of social justice warriors and seemingly giving them a nod with the whole aracial characters bit. Except he's made it increasingly clear that that too was just a gag and it's just kind of insulting. None of the problems raised bother me particularly, but rather it's the fact that he acts like a child with these stupid "rebuttals" to the vocal and harsh minority of these people addressed to the entire community of people who dare raise an issue with his comic. And the BEST part is that it will do nothing but galvanize his other fans against these people and against any sort of criticism they can level. Like how the concept of trigger warnings (which are misused by an ACTUALLY PRETTY SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE and are meant to block content that would cause an intensely averse reaction in someone) is a loving punchline to literally millions of people who don't know their actual purpose. All these passive-aggressive or directly aggressive snipes within a story that could and has been extremely funny on its own merits that weren't completely mean-spirited. It's just exhausting and frustrating to see him do this time and time again.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone gettin' ready to be mad as gently caress that Hussie has sanctioned plenty of official merch depicting the characters as nonwhite, so he clearly does not give a poo poo. This isn't about representation, this is about people who lose their poo poo over stupid things.

I think the "He's mocking everyone who takes this seriously" angle would play a lot better if Hussie hadn't himself taken a fairly aggressive tone back when he was explaining/defending the "a-racial" business.

I remember how a friend of mine (the same friend that get me into PS and then HS) was actually pretty happy that the author seemed to realize through discussions why race seemed to matter to fans and canonically said the characters depicted as aracial, and was pretty happy to see a Rose that looked like her in kickstarter stuff, and felt pretty happy that he seemed to listen. welp.

Especially if you think the 'trigger warning' misuse is a minority since it's not something that would come into normal conversation with people without traumatic experiences but is basically mentioned all the time on tumblr. The fact that some of it gets applied to chicken wings and hot dogs is just the peak absurdity. It gets used all the time in lieu of 'this bothers me I don't like to see it' instead of the actual 'just seeing this sent me into a panic attack or reliving my traumatic past experience and I had to throw up'. Also Hussie has never been interested in rebutting anything he does what he likes no matter what.

How can you not see how this line of argument you're going with is reductive and childish? Tumblr isn't a monolithic entity that freaks out in unison, the vast majority are people who agree with you, and it's not unreasonable to suggest that not only not taking someone's concerns seriously but openly mocking them is a lovely thing to do?

MrBims posted:He didn't change that here though? Can you come up with one good reason why trickster mode would make someone white that isn't racist in and of itself? I'm trying to think of good ways for him to resolve this and the only one I can think of is that he just goes and makes literally everybody other than Trickster Jane some kind of PoC.
