Quite a bit of it, has, unfortunately landed on rachel, who if I recall correctly, is in charge of a lot of the business decisions, or at least enforcing them. Theres a problem with activations getting backed up, & stuck in our system. Well, sure! This Mo Black guy seems to know what hes talking about, you think. As Dirk ascends, though, he gains full awareness of the story itself. Since my social justice related posts seem to encourage more discussions than ones that do not rely on social justice critique, I figured I would use this next post to explore a very talked-about and controversial aspect of Homestuckits ableism. While many people inside the Homestuck fandom thought this was an excellent and humorous reward (especially considering they got all the other rewards below it as well) people outside of the comic fandom didn't get the joke and thought it was an example of Hussie being and egomanical jerk. ._1W1pLIfaIb8rYU6YeTdAk6{margin-right:6px}._1H6Meh6ZAemKxOJDOEasfK{border-radius:50%;box-sizing:border-box;height:20px;margin-left:-8px;width:20px}._1H6Meh6ZAemKxOJDOEasfK:first-child{margin-left:0}._30vlMmCcnqKnXP1t-fzm0e{display:inline-block;margin-left:-8px;position:relative} The end credits and post-end credits content were released in the style of Snapchat posts. It is a subversive work of fiction that plays with the concept of creation on multiple levels. The only challenge to his control over the story is presented by Calliope, the dead, all-powerful sister to Lord English I mentioned earlier. I didn't find many of the document's arguments compelling, but I also don't find this rebuttle compelling as it focuses very much on reacting more to the person/people writing than any points made. I don't think writing off Hussie as a person for his work is at all fair. Theres even a page that compels the reader to take selfies and post them on social media. And thats about how Ive come to regard all fandoms now.. They're not human. As long as he is in a certain proximity of the storys events, he not only becomes the narrator (literally already been done), but the author himself, capable of willing events into the story simply by narrating them to himself. WebAndrew Hussie (born August 25, 1979) is an American author and artist. To start, the music created in the making of, and parallel to Homestuck is simply incredible. I think one of the most impressive things about the webcomics music is how much of it there is (a lot of much there is, thats how much). Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is the latest product to feel the review bomb burn. WebMarch 3, 2023. And thats not even touching anything a part of Homestucks spin-off game, Hiveswap. With the source of his partial-paralysis being Vriska, he is tormented by her and others on occasion for his disability. ALL trolls have horns.

There was some controversy when homestuck first came out. I dont know what to say or think about any of this at this point. They dont have a concept of incest and I wouldnt be surprised if they werent bothered by age Gaps either with how impersonal their mating is. Calliope isnt an unbiased narrator. Homestuck uses Flash, which means that it has The first Game of Thrones book is just shy of 300 thousand words, and the longest book in that series is just over 400 thousand. Conveniently, two EMBEDDED HYPERLINKS have been placed within your line of sight, each fitted with an ATTRACTIVE THUMBNAIL to guide your ravenous eyes in their general vicinity. And then they play it. I don't really care about homestuck drama, it is a product of its time as another comment said but.. OP seems vastly unaware of a lot of social issues to be "responding" to this drama. Reminder to message me @colorfulconstellations if you would like to apply to be a mod!

I cant put them on a scale from 1 to 10 and I cant recommend anyone read them or not. They also continually support gross artists, like Aeritus for example who has lots of merch on ffbf, and ships incest ships without much of a second thought despite being 27 years old. I feel like you had "better" things to say than I did. The NSFW route, hes a complete douchewad, bullying Lynera and trying to pressure you into drugs and sex.

WebHomestuck has three characters with definite disabilitiesTavros, Terezi, and Solluxthough for the purposes of this article, I will focus on Tavros and Terezi as, ever since Sollux has become blind, we simply have not had much screen time with him to merit analysis The largest flaw in Terezis portrayal is that, while she is blind, she relies on superpowers that essentially eliminate her blindness and eliminate the real experiences of actual blind people, making her blindness into its own disability superpower. What am I reading here? I already break the fourth wall, numbnuts! Why pick them out? An exciting plot is all fine and good, but no one is buying into that if your characters are nothing but paper puppets, acting in any way that moves the plot forward. This applies to the treatment of Mituna, who due to the overexertion of his psychic powers received brain damage that altered his personality. As of now, recordings of the content exist on YouTube and are embedded where the Flash animations used to be, but take it from me when I say its really not the same. Like I oughta. A member of fandom may have a good attitude for a while, but since their involvement is predicated on obsession or very strongly held feelings, that positive attitude can turn on a dime, and it can take very little to trigger extreme negativity. I think a lot of new authors start out by aping works they admire. But then, homosexuality in a society where bisexuality is the norm is kind of a different thing.

Okay so later John says nominally Jake is indeed not at fault for being abused but appreciate for a moment how a story about kids playing a computer got to this point. When I said "Hussie created them that way for a reason", this doesn't mean "Hussie agrees with literally every awful thing in Homestuck" despite what some people seem to think that's what I'm saying. Maybe that Naruto fan now makes kick-ass, empowering, shonen-like stories. If Im Hussie, I use the epilogues to tie up lose ends and put the story to rest, not start this whole other tangent about what canon really means and how all your favorite characters are actually awful people. Just don't think it's safe for your thirteen-year-old brother just 'cause the protagonist is the same age xDD. Homestuck is the longest and most well-known & loved of the MS Paint Adventures.

He would commandeer a handful of characters, and I do the same. We really would be here all day if I summarized the story in earnest. They treat the characters of Friendsim and of Homestuck as though theyre all actual adults and write them like that, and just ignore the fact that theyre all like, 13-14 (and BARELY older if they are save for Chahut). If it is morally wrong, I want explanations.). I do. WebHomestuck tends to congregate in large groups that can cause problems at conventions. Here's a post discussing it. The mock content warnings that show up at the beginning of the epilogues are not mock anything and are entirely legit. Why didn't you bring it up then? Read it on a computer. Time to be controversial here. As the community got larger, and Hussie wanted more control of the story, this eventually petered out, which did distance some of the older problem sleuth fans. Two friends who realize they see each other as something more I live for that kind of stuff when its done right. A confirmation hes referring to Kanayas lesbian identity as the fetish he remarked from above. Hussies apprehension of fandom and the wild projections that come with presiding over one seem appropriate given how public comments on his work ignite controversy within the fandom. I came to regard that fandom as being pretty close to a cult. Question: Hey hiveswap team and @skullmandible, confirm Lanque as a trans boy yes/no? Question: do thirteen year old girls have boobs? Oops. Music is even baked into the comics mechanics. Dogfighting is a type of blood sport in which dogs are forced to fight one another for the entertainment and/or profit of spectators.

Besides the sometimes-cane, she needs no assistance at alland while that is fantasticit would be preferable to see her use the sort of assistance that blind people typically use, instead of Terezi just being able to see everything that she licks. Terezi wanted them to be "L1K3 4 Even worse, Hussie confirming dersecest to be a canon ship in a doomed timeline in the most recent homestuck book, which is better explained in this post. Accusations of certain characters beings Mary Sues. Here appears another symptom of ableismthat of the view that persons with disabilities need to be fixed in order to fit in with normal society. Theres a problem with activations getting backed up, & stuck in our system. There. Copyright issues; unlike many, more mainstream (and powerful) content producers who kind of give convention artists alleys the big shrugaroo, a small buisness like What Pumpkin LLC, the company that sells Homestuck merchandise, does not have the luxury of being able to afford turning a blind eye to fan produced content, and is thus very strict about people selling fanmade Homestuck content. We apologize for this The Meat/Candy dichotomy is one Hussie developed for himself long before the release of the epilogues. To me, black is just a color. Dividend Yield. The lesson here is that an abuse victim needed to learn to take life into their own hands sooner. The majority of the story, other than the epilogue they are minors.

It seems that whatever small ways I was able to control that brand, back when I still was interested in doing so, has since become dramatically overwritten by the preposterous hallucinatory projections of a zealous fandom.. It is not a document promoting real-life rape and murder. Anarchist. Its also an allegory for what Im doing presently with Psycholonials. Chances are Hussie changed it in part because he wasn't really feeling the joke in the first place. Welcome to Alternia.
