I don't see how it's Homestuck, unless you just use "homestuck" as shorthand for "bad webcomic". It's about a fat nerd who gets transported to a cutesy world of pop culture references where everything behaves like the rules of a wargame.

It sounds like the comic itself is aware of the fact that she's gone to far towards the other extreme, and that she'll need to learn to how to balance out her personality in order to become the Rising King.

I mean yeah absolutely it's on purpose, he didn't draw it that way by accident unlike, say, magic scissors

I don't really see how Erfworld is either like Homestuck or fetishistic.

If I were going to describe it, I'd say it was about a wargames genius transported to a world of wargames, where he learns a valuable lesson about how people's stupid drama will interfere with the perfect strategy every drat time, like seriously Wanda can you keep it together for ten drat minutes?

Erfworld had some BDSM notes early on, and occasionally it comes up that these child-sized adults are sexual beings. I guess that's where the "fetishistic" bit is coming from, but I'm lost on the "Homestuck."

K6BD is more Homestuck, considering its origins and that it occasionally asks for audience input.

Superficially they are both about universes that follow game rules, it's not a completely spurious comparison.

Also, one of them is bad. I'll let you decide which ;)

I have a hunch this is a trick question, but I will never know for certain as I literally do not have enough free time to read Homestruck.

The secret is they are both bad. Liking either comic demonstrates nascent stockholm syndrome tendencies since you should have given up well before you got to the point where either were interesting.

i thought erfworld long ago ceased being a bad comic and instead became bad online fiction.

Erfworld book one is actually pretty good as a stand-alone work. I wouldn't call it afterward BAD but it's got flaws that aren't really present in book 1.

I used to try to keep up with ErfWorld, and I'm gonna agree. Book 1 was pretty good as its own short one-shot thing.

I might be really late to this but has anyone pointed out how Alison's sorority sisters kind of look like her current team?

I'm guessing this is just a fun visual and not a Wizard of Oz type signifier that it's all a dream.

Looking at it again the middle sister could be Maya? She says they need to talk about this sword.

The bindi worn by the one on the right side of the panel represents the Key of Kings which is why she called Alison out for being a white girl wearing a bindi, think we just figured out who the REAL final boss is going to be.
