In topic: "Racial: When all black homestucks hang their heads in shame bc of the voice actors "

Coming into a thread where a black fan is expressing his discontent with the overwhelmingly

white state of a major homestuck project and claim that their fears and frustrations are a non-issue and that to simply express these concerns is "stirring the pot" is in of itself racist.

If you want to play in the space and believe the entire cast of homestuck is "white coded" despite the official claiming's of "araciality" (lol) go do that over there. What is gained by coming into a thread to say you never thought of the characters as anything other than white? Do you really think this is a unique perspective that adds anything to the discussion? That any black reader will see that and be struck with some revelation that homestuck WASN'T written as a story about 4 black kids on an adventure? This is about more than authorial intent, one of the main concerns here is with the fandom’s continued history of anti-black racism and how “canonizing” white voices for the main 4 characters of the story simply gives ammunition for racists looking to punch down.
