Sad news: we did everything we could, but we couldn’t save The Unofficial Homestuck Collection. Here’s what’s been going on behind the scenes. Sorry in advance; it's real bad.

Being anti-genocide isn't inherently antisemitic. I agree there are definitely folks, even a lot of them, who are using the genocide as an excuse to show their proverbial ass. However:

Continuing to imply that being against the genocide in Gaza IS inherently related to the rise of antisemitism, and doing "air quotes" on "genocide," is really fucked up.

I agree, which is why I never said that or implied it. And those are quotation marks.

It's crazy how many people use Death of the Author to mean "separating the art from the artist" when it's actually not supposed to have anything to do with who the author is as a person and is supposed to be about the idea that the author's interpretation of their own work should not be seen as the definitive, correct opinion on that work. Like you're not supposed to invoke Death of the Author when JK Rowling devotes her entire life and fortune to transphobia, you're supposed to invoke it when Trent Reznor says Closer by Nine Inch Nails isn't a sex song.

i love the phrase "sex pervert" like. as opposed to what? abstinence pervert?

I like how the homestuck pilot stuff is just giving everyone a rude awakening that a lot of indie creators know each other and respect each others work and that your individual cringe does not exist in a vacuum. And that at the end of the day you’re all clowns.
