That's very much my point though. I think "let Dave be black" should mean more than just casting a black person to play him. People keep bringing up Roxy's hair as a good example of representation so I feel like there's some agreement that the "aracial" thing is a cheap copout, right? Hair is disambiguating detail. So why not literally make Dave black?

Which is rather the point I was making when I stressed that this was an official piece of Homestuck media. Like, Roxy's hair is a big deal because its in Friendsim, no? It's not just good fun and interpretations when the official Homestuck animated pilot is glossing over the whole *waves hand around* race thing. Hussie decided that his characters were white in 2009, but now this new Homestuck thing exists and it doesn't seem too enthused about changing that for the fans who want it.

And again you're being very nonspecific. What am I doubling down on? That they should do more to improve Homestuck's representation? If I could edit posts I would, since the only thing you've called out specifically is the phrase "devil's advocate". Sorry for misusing an idiom I guess?
