@eriroxy fan no, i don't think the writers believe jade gets in the way of davekat. you're talking about one of the people who made jade route, which was a commentary on this misogynistic trope with the advent of earlier homestuck 2. it's not going to happen that they recreate it unthinkingly with the amount of thought they're putting into their time at the helm. also: double standards does kinda come with the territory of being in this space, yeah? you have to decide which characters you like or don't like, i won't blame anyone for that (though i may blame them for liking the ones i don't like, heehee)
