Freak Futanari posted: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 this is why i prefer to believe he spent pretty much the entirety of act 6 as a brainwashed catspaw for aranea no matter how little sense it actually makes

The Lobotomy Kid posted:Kind of a deep cut but the epilogue kind of reminds me of Grant Morrison's Flex Mentallo miniseries, just without the part where the story reaches a climax and the themes running throughout it get properly addressed in a satisfying manner. I forget what that part of the narrative it called, but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. denouement

i have not cared or paid attention to anything homestuck-related in a long while but Star Fetchers is a bizarre free indie game prologue that dropped last month and gave me extremely strong "dave strider swordfighting on a rooftop" vibes for its 45-minute duration, if anyone is interested

kankri was a bullying rear end in a top hat who used woke rhetoric as a shield for his cruelty. those people are real and they’re common, they’re just kind of quaint in light of all the contemporary Nazis e: if we adapted his character for this brave new world of “like seven years later” then he’d probably be a TERF Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Feb 17, 2022 |

there’s no nuance about it, it’s just a fact. it’s part of the text. it becomes undeniable when he essentially tells the most severely handicapped member of their party that his existence is itself problematic, and the fact that this guy happens to be dating the girl kankri’s crushing on is, of course, strictly coincidental it’s not like we didn’t see the exact same thing on these forums, with a handful of malcontents screaming “transphobe” and “racist” at everyone who looked at them side-eyed while literally drawing up enemy lists and secret plans to coup the admin team e: like in the very same walkaround karkat outright says he’s just a prick who sticks to a calm and reasonable voice. kankri’s problem wasn’t that he used Social justice rhetoric, it’s that he used it strictly for his own self-aggrandizement (and occasionally as a way to demean others). I wasn’t surprised to see this comic’s waning discourse retcon him as a critique of the perfidious SJW’s Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Feb 17, 2022 |

Delphisage posted:Hey there, I'm a new poster here who's been reading Homestuck over the summer. if you're talking about Jollystuck then the "caucasian" thing had little to do with right-wingers overrunning the discourse, tumblr was on a constant hair trigger at the time and took the first mention of the characters' ethnicity as erasure, so hussie in his usual fashion decided to pull the same gag after the initial firestorm and then edited it to "peachy" a week later when the coals had cooled off

Delphisage posted:Well, if that's the story, then how come everyone else says it was backlash that scared Hussie into redacting his joke and also erasing all mention of the characters being white from older pages? i have never been involved in the larger homestuck discourse, but apparently "everyone" also says now that kankri is a mean-spirited jab at leftist discourse instead of a fairly accurate portrayal of a fairly common type of lunatic in fandoms at the time. if people are rewriting history so that hussie was "scared" of them instead of deliberately provoking them with another tasteless joke then i wouldn't be surprised in the latter half of homestuck he didn't seem to care about the comic's fans at all so much as some nebulous idea of "fandom" that he mined for meta gags and (increasingly unsuccessful) plot developments. jollystuck itself is basically what you'd get if you applied a Super Star to a game that's supposed to be about personal development, so all the characters launch into literally saccharine cliches to get their conflicts and resolutions over with as quickly as possible only to wake up with a crushing hangover, sucking worse than ever

the alpha kids were intended to have more “grounded” problems and personality clashes than the beta kids and especially the trolls, and as the players of a failed session there’s also much more hostility and communication failure between them. the issue was that, as you noticed, their conflict was just a different and way more tedious set of cliches

jake is an infuriating, passive, self centered git but he was also never given the faculties or the opportunity to behave any other way, so there wasn’t even any catharsis in the escalating mockery and abuse he went through. the comic locked this kid in the stocks and threw eggs at him and then made fun of him for having egg on his face

dipwood posted:The most unbelievable part about Dirk is how he's into Jake in the first place. Jake has no redeeming qualities even from Dirk's perspective. jake’s redeeming quality from dirk’s perspective was that dirk was into him. because dirk is a socially stunted giga-narcissist, he was pursuing jake as a project instead of a person, which left him completely at a loss when it came time to do things like share interests and hold conversations that didn’t involve traumatic head injuries

caliborn’s extreme persistence also needs to be mentioned in any analysis of him - he’s capable of complicated problem solving but solves them in the most tedious and circuitous way imaginable. I don’t know what that represents but it’s still a key part of his character, and maybe the only one that’s not a total negative

egg tats posted:that, too, is a way he mirrors toxic fans. maybe the most important fact about them is that they won't ever stop obsessing over something that they hate, even though they have either never liked it, or haven't liked it in months or years. i don't buy that comparison, though, because his persistence isn't based in obsessive consumption (that's actually closer to how his sister behaves) but meticulous accomplishment. homestuck is bad but even i don't think it would try to equate hate-reading with agency e: the crux of how you feel about caliborn's abilities hinges on what you think about drawing a circle out of countless tiny right angles instead of making a curved line. it's absolutely the wrong way to do it, but i think it's super impressive despite - or even because - of that Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Sep 17, 2022 |

further muddied by caliborn being one of the few genuinely aspirational characters in the entire story despite his repulsive personality, and calliope being a passive lump made all the more obnoxious by the cast's cooing over her most of homestuck's characters end up hapless dopes who just stumble and fall into one convenience after another until the last page, while caliborn actually struggles and grows (in his tragicomic way)
