How do you feel about the new Homestuck animated adaption? idk how to feel abt it bc it looks cool but like vivziepop is racist soo... :/
i’m warily enthusiastic, vivziepop’s studio is funding it but she has no direct control over the writing. so i’m not like, concerned about it being more like her specific writing style. i want it to be mostly faithful, though i know some things will have to change across mediums
also idk much about vivziepop or hazbin or anything like literally at all, but like. we have to be honest with ourselves. homestuck also has a bunch of racist stuff in it, among other things. so many things we like without a second thought have racist and otherwise bigoted elements, but we tend to hold up the things we like on a pedestal while being happy to rip apart something else we already didn’t like. there is a lot to criticize and unpack when it comes to homestuck. and a ton of other beloved series. that’s not saying you can’t like any of them, obvs- i literally talk about homestuck on this blog- but we also can’t hold them up as moral standards when they never met those standards to begin with
so idk. are vivzie’s works way more bigoted than hussie’s, or do we give homestuck grace because we like homestuck, and don’t like hazbin? i can’t answer that because like i said, i don’t know vivziepop or her stories very well, but i do think the reaction to this from homestuck fans who don’t mention the bad shit in their own series is a bit misinformed
