thats what happens when you introduce a blonde twink into your story, especially one so closely related to the striders. the one thing we know about him is that he buys wholeheartedly into dirks warriormale ubermensch utopia society and that single trait is already getting erased because hes also cute. sigh. i trust homestucks team to handle it with tact of course but i also hope swissfever dies down soon and people start actually analyzing and engaging.

(i dont think swissfever is actually that prominent a phenomenon its just an annoying one)

hmm. thinking about this now i realize its likely that dirks society is exclusively gay and roses is exclusively lesbian. (though i imagine its in a similar way to how humans are 'exclusively hetero' and trolls are 'exclusively bi' despite there being evidence to contradict both.) interesting theory material there. hoping for an influx of nymph yuri.
