I can name:
- Homestuck.net
- The Homestuck.net Bluesky and Twitter
- (apparently) The Homestuck Discord
- (apparently) r/homestuck
I feel like giving one guy control over all of these spaces is a little scary. Not to mention, they (because someone doesn't have pronouns in bio!) have been pretty vocal about supporting Gio and apparently the mods have started deleting any negative opinions of him off the Homestuck reddit, I don't know how it is with the Discord though I don't tread that far idk. I would recommend just not using these if you're concerned with unbiased reporting.
If you (or even Makin themselves, since I know they're here) can prove me wrong somehow, I'd also appreciate that, I'm not too concerned with keeping a grudge. These forums and Tumblr are one of the only major Homestuck communities on the web where everyone has gotten to speak their mind on the situation and it's really great.
everyone acting like the transphobia thing is just something we made up like somebody didn't just post him being transphobic on main earlier lol...okay...
@elegantspinstress these people clearly feel like they need some kind of win and behind the keyboard is where they wanna get it I guess. Yeahhhhh I'm gonna start making my own block list too ngl until one or a mute feature is finally implemented. I also agree, the new fans are so refreshing. Important for the environment I'd even add. Saw some Vox x Doc Scratch art the other day posted unironically and was like oh hell yeah these kids are having so much fun, I'm glad! I remember wanting to make Naruto x Homestuck art once upon a time myself.
@alexis as the wise words of a pop song once said, "no one should have all that power" (in this case influence, if you wanna get hair splity about it). It is concerning for sure. Also yeah no, I'm not in an official discord for anything besides Soulframe preludes and that's because they have bug reporting and that sort of thing and the game isn't fully out yet, but I mostly lurk there. I lurk in majority of servers I'm in just due to social spoons.
I’m sorry but Makin saying Hussie isn’t enby isn’t transphobia. Hussie has never come out. You’re the ones transvestigating Hussie.
@alexis
I apologize it’s been a while since I read psycholonials, what exactly was said. The credits I recall were just mocking fandom infighting.
Could you show a screenshot or something akin to that of the Psycholonials credits? I cannot find anything like that online.
@elegantspinstress @alexis y'all hear that? Now we're the real transphobes according to the open transphobe. lol lmao even
They confirmed that they're serious about the clowngender identity when asked through their Troubled Cosmos Twitter account 4 years ago.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4iX3tQsm7Q it ain't in the credits fwiw
man it is so weird how any mention of trans people gets the usual people to flock to the thread to talk about how its actually not that deep and maybe YOU'RE the bigot for talking about trans people so much huh? ever think of that??
just because someone came out via a video game (and later confirmed on what im pretty sure is a now defunct twitter account) does not make it less true, and if anything it makes it very cool.
anyway wow weird anyone else notice a strange uptick in activity all at once suddenly? weird.
what are you even talking about
@elegantspinstress these same people probably think that egg jokes are an actual threat to "men who just wanna explore" probably. lol I know we got way off topic but damn this is a good block list, look at all these transphobes coming in.
@autumnwyvern it is pretty gods damn cool and epic like actually 💜 100% agree
i think Makin controls the community wayy too much, plus he's 100% a mean old transmisogynistic duck towards Hussie I've seen him do it
he should give the discord to someone who's not transmisogynistic and like, is so much cooler than him (me)
also the reddit I guess but i'd just delete it since I don't even use reddit.
anyway jokes aside transmisogyny being a thing in the work probably means it's a thing that potentially happens in any community that's about that work. also idk what SEO bullshittery happened here but the first post appearing when we search for "homestuck reddit" is literally celebrating the departure of Kate from the team. even after all these years. so that's definitely not a good sign to argue the lack of transmisogyny within these spaces.
anyway Makin sucks like the duck he is & should give me the discord NOW !!!!!!!!!! I just noticed Feferi slander in there and I think it shouldn't be tolerated (feferi is also trans)
sincerely, literally feferi peixes
Hussie referring to clowngender as being a literally clownish concept should make it abundantly clear what his true feelings on the subject sre
tara and raven superfan
I don't think you can be transmisogynistic against Hussie because he's not a woman. If anything, you can be transphobic, but transmisogyny requires a unique intersection of transphobia and misogyny in ways that Hussie just isn't compatible with as an AMAB non-transfem
my bad, less credits more settings in the cast page via their sona (for anyone else who wants to check, admittedly I did have to double check because a lot of online sources list the wrong part). it has also been established in at least one press release that they use gender neutral pronouns. similarly to the who-has-more-transfem-mods discussion, it is a little bit moot. makin and the reddit has a reputation that's lasted a while. I remember years ago on the reddit seeing a Black Rose drawing and the comments being terrible. I genuinely hope the vibe has improved.
I unironically and wholeheartedly believe the world would be a better place if Reddit as a whole went down, like it'd objectively decrease the amount of suffering in the world

"Coming here as a long-time Homestuck Discord regular, you know exactly why."
this is sooo fucking funny to me
the epilogues are the best part of homestuck
