That he apologized only alerts the internet that he has a soul and can be affected by backlash, which was his only mistake. A comedian or shitposter who never apologizes receives less backlash because comments never visibly bother them, so it's fruitless to even try

i’ve never understood this interpretation of internet comedy as a form of posting warfare that must never look back or introspect for any reason

He's not saying you shouldn't introspect just that you shouldn't do it publicly. And I agree with that based on how internet comedy audiences usually react to stuff

I could have and should have been more clear that I wasn’t joking.

You can, but this is fiction. Realistically he just wrote a bunch of poo poo about silly versions of infamous people, events or otherwise, and he's not a loving psycho off his meds. It's a popular form of posting now, and it's a worthless endeavor to dig into the psyche or motivations of a verbose guy who was just a little ahead of this curve, or to attribute intentional malice to his writings

on the plus side, all the Friendsim volumes are discounted right now so if 99 cents was too rich for your blood, now's the time to get in on it

I just found out I used to be really good friends with the guy who's head writer on Hiveswap

Which isn't TOOsurprising considering me him and Hussie all posted on the penny arcade forums at the same time when Homestuck was first starting but like

I got into homestuck around when hiveswap came out by a friend inviting me to watch "lets read homestuck" together. Grab a friend and listen to people give silly voices to homestucks and play the fun friendsim games.

It's weird coming into this after most of the drama. Now there's new drama and I'm here during it.

I'm worried about the racism but I still have fun with this... internet phenomena, disconnected from the author.

Skylla is clearly garbage but I'm glad you're enjoying the good characters, like Tagora

(genuinely though, Friendsim is pretty great, and it gets into a really nice groove after a fairly rocky period in the first few episodes. I really enjoyed it and became genuinely fond of some of the characters it features.)

It wasn't actual racism, it was just not treating history respectfully enough. Unless you're talking about the old Team Special Olympics stuff

If you buy the volumes with Chixie and Polypa, you'll get Tyzias and Zebruh too, so you'll get some good trolls along with the bad ones.

the masterlist of friendsim volumes that actually matter:

vol 3, because Skylla is super super good
vol 5, because Polypa is cute and i want to hire her to murder me
vol 8, Chixie is perfect, and Zebruh is a really funny trainwreck, as a bonus. its like if Cronus was funnier
vol 9, Azdaja is basically the rear end in a top hat son of Troll Kaiba and Troll Vegeta. also you get some stupid Thicc Clown lady. who cares!
vol 10, Tegiri is as wise and likable as he is relatable

all other volumes can be safely ignored, as they are about as important or interesting as Jade was in homestuck

The purplebloods in Friendsim all have fantastic routes which include some incredible moments of delicious what the gently caress mad comedy.

Also they’re all much better written and realised characters than Gamzee was by the end of Homestuck.

counterpoint: gamzee wasnt as much a character as he was a prop that hussie used to try to gloss over how stupid and incomprehensible the story was by saying "eh, gamzee did it" when things didnt make sense
