You know what? Lots of people talked, so rapid-fire response time:
@elegantspinstress - To clarify most people were saying it as a joke unrelated to anything truely bad. Just the bad luck of the internet for the origin of such phrasing.
@mobiancruxtruder - Oh I absolutely agree that it is fine to compare fascists in stories to fascists in real life. Though obviously we have to be careful we don't trivialise stuff, so it is a fine balance to strike at time.
@tavroscrocker - Whilst I do not know the specific situation, knowing the internet it may not even be a deliberate reference because of how time and constant reference laundered the origin point.
@the1woomy - to reiterate if I wasn't clear before, yeah, it kinda sucks to learn, but you didn't do wrong in this case, and you shouldn't feel bad for it. In this case I'll be honest, it doesn't actually do much harm because most people have forgotten the origin, and the original meaning is basically lost, but the origin is unfortunate (and I am personally surprised at how I forgot it).
@jakemorph - I agree. Maybe I was a tad too hyperbolic, but I just wanted to point out the unfortunate origin of the phrase in that example.
@griseousaconite - Yeah, the "bait" thing is unfortunate, but it shows that you sometimes do need to be careful with things whenever you run into a conincidence. In this case, it doesn't mean that Vriska's quirk is bad, but that when using said quirk, you should see if there's other options to phrase what you want to say. On the topic of Nazis and jokes, I think they should be mocked relentlessly, but people should avoid accidentally making them sympathetic or anything like that. Idk if I make sense, I'm getting tired now as it's approaching midnight.
@duckbuster - Basically yeah what you said here is what I think about this.
@alex - <joking>eep scary mod!</joking> I did some searching and last time she said it was Act 6 Act 6 Intermission 5 in 2015, page 7830. And yeah, that's true, there are probably other things that have less nasty origins that kinda got merged into the phrasing through the passage of time and the internet. <joking>I wonder if any could be repurposed for modern Vriscourse.</joking>
@stagelights - Honestly, if it has an origin before that, then I'd be curious to know. It's definitely a case that the 'edgy version' seems to have become the loudest by the time I had heard of such phrasing initially. And, maybe I am being a bit too eager to go "wait that's kinda bad"! Still definitely feels kinda unfortunate. and even if the Vriska version is basically innocent, on a personal level I will avoid the phrasing in the future. Though I guess I'm not gonna be like "you're a bad person to say that!" to anyone lol.
@autumnwyvern - Yep, I agree with your first pont lol. and yeah, Homestuck is full of the gunk of the 2000s to 2010s internet. Personally I think we should leave that as-is, but give people the right warnings and context for it, because in some ways, I find that part of the value of Homestuck? It is a flawed but also a time capsule in some ways.
My PFP isn't Vriska, though I may have stolen her aesthetics.
