most annoying people in every fandom are the people who are like sorry this is cringe 😅😓 sorry for participating in this fandom i know it is cringe. like maybe for you it is. idgaf. that's between you and your own shame complex

hi editing the original post (but not touching the reblog version with my addition that i like more) because i want to clarify that this does not mean fandom is above criticism. feeling constant self shame doesn't help anybody, let alone yourself, and we're not going to get anywhere near a rounded discussion on fandom and fandom culture if people tie their self-worth so extensively to a media and the way people criticize it, as that has tended to happen in recent years.

so like misogyny and misandry's roots are miso- which is a prefix from the greek μισος (hate) and gyny from γυνη (woman) and then andry from ανδρος (man) so i think in omegaverse universe it would be called misomegany or misalphany. even misobetry.

i do think there is a lot to say on why homestuck’s fanbase is (to put it bluntly) so transgender in such a specific and interesting way. and i think its mostly to do with homestuck’s treatment of femininity vs masculinity in a way that is not typically done

femininity is presented as both something to save the world (space players and echidna, working with frogs, maids/sylphs presented as The Most Feminine classes and about creation/healing, despite it being said later on class gendering doesn’t matter, because it was written to matter at the beginning), while also being vicious enough to cause longtime and horrifying pain (kanaya and jade wield chainsaws and shotguns. the peixes line being as they are. its implied female trolls are culturally thought to be more cruel/violent on alternia due to condy’s influence via flarp being “for girls” as tavros is told. vriska. aranea’s help hurting everyone she tries it on.)

masculinity in homestuck is... frankly not aggrandized at all. it’s a reverse from the norm. every hypermasculine character we may have had a chance to look at has it ripped away in the end. bro strider dies to a little girl’s dog. lord english is first presented as a hypermasculine musclebound giant, then we meet caliborn and see the farce for what it is, LE is a little boy wearing an adult man’s clothes and screaming for people to take him seriously. and we do. until we notice that the clothes don’t fit quite right, and everything falls apart. grandpa harley was never alive. equius is the most masculine presented of any of the players, and... well. we’ve all seen equius. dad egbert is the only genuine show of masculinity in a truly positive light for john - and by extension the reader - to look up to, and he’s based around loving his own so much he makes cakes daily and tries to bond with him in any way he can, albeit often in ways that don’t really work. 

i don’t know. i think homestuck’s use of gendering is a fascinating aspect of the story. i think it helped me with my own personal experience of gender and the different aspects people can see gender through :] its cool to me

the bloodcastes in homestuck are so funny like heres this canon system of oppression these aliens have. heres how theyre bigoted with it. btw this only matters for about twenty minutes and the characters who are canonically the Only of their given blood color on their planet (and thereby the Most oppressed or quite literally Training To Be the Empress) are never going to talk about that to anyone else except One Guy and the One Guy is going to be a Huge Douche about it to them. the only hemoist character left by the end of the story is vriska also because everyone else is either A. dead or B. lowblood. no this isn't ever resolved because of the retcons for all we know vriska is still in fact hemoist by the end of the story because most of her character growth was removed

#grace post #to my memory. one guy being dave and eridan respectively. #<- unless im forgetting about anyone else karkat talked to about it. EXCEPT SPADES SLICK I KNOW HE TALKED ABOUT IT TO SPADES SLICK #IM BARELY COUNTING THAT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS OFFSCREEN.

jake english loneliest boy in the world (physically) vs john egbert loneliest boy in the world (emotionally)

jade harley loneliest girl in the world (physically) vs jane crocker loneliest girl in the world (emotionally)

is what im saying. harleyberts are flipping the situation turnways constantly in who they are and their backgrounds as characters. they’re the most mathematically exact in terms of world building crossing like punnitt squares. ok?

im so sad the guy making the 6+ language minecraft server sucks so bad because that is a perfect study for a linguistic anthropology person like me but knowing the person running it it will be a mess and people will be bummed with it in like 20 seconds

#grace post #like if the goal was to study. how people try to communicate across languages and cannot understand each other. that is a genuinely #very interesting concept. but thats much better studied in a less serious joking environment and not the... lore stuff the guy running it #seems to prefer. #this is also why i find the spanish-english smp where most but not all people are bilingual to be great to study. aurgh

[meenah]

cannot stop thinking about that post thats like "yeah homestuck sucks & is badly written with little moments of good writing for characters. thats why people are right when they don't read the comic or make up their own characterizations" because like the vast majority of these fanmade characterizations just fucking suck

its like john and jane know society enough to understand they will be rejected. jake and jade don't know society enough and fear the rejection and try to avoid it any way they can. john and jake choose not to think about the rejection until they explode. jane and jade constantly think about it until they get tired of pretending they don't. and then explode.
