Brainrotting on Homestuck was definitely not on my 2024 bingo card

[davekat-sucks]

My real pet peeve with regards to Jake isn't that he never got to do anything cool, but specifically that everything cool associated with him was retconned away.

"Oh, who's this mysterious pen-pal who helped Jade build an invincible guardian rabbit-bot? Nevermind, he was just the delivery boy; it was REALLY made by totally-not-the-author's-self-insert! Surviving alone on an island of bloodthirsty alien monsters is pretty badass, right? Actually, he just cowered in his room all day while the not-self-insert's robot double protected him! He gained limitless power that eclipses even the multiple omnipotent bad guys? We'll just rewind that away and pit him against the joke villains! It's vitally important to canon that he specifically gives the main villain a beating of cosmic proportions? Actually, that was a doomed timeline version of him; here, have a scene where he shits his pants on live TV instead!"

The last semi-cool thing to Jake's name is Grandpa programming Sburb on pre-Scratch Earth; and I bet if we actually got Hauntswitch, it would reveal Jude/Dammek/Mom was solely responsible for that and Grandpa just took the credit.

Yeah, they really stripped him so damn hard despite being built up as like a genius. It's something similar to Jane's case. Nanna shown to be a smart, if mischievous woman at times with a good heart, kid self is complete opposite. If it's suppose to give the message that expectations of the guardians are subverted that the Alpha Kids are actually fuckups, then fine. Stupid subversion excuse that Hussie likes to use to think he's the first one to do something different. But it's another thing to try and say "All those things you learned, it was a LIE!!! You are an idiot for trusting the author because I tricked your sorry ass!!!"

Homestuck: FUN FACTOIDS!

The Beta kids were originally sketched out before being sprited. What the hell. Why is the sketch so clean. I get they're a professional artist, but...but what? How?

The first 10 or so panels of homestuck are so wildly important to establishing the nature of homestuck. It’s a give and take between author and audience, wherein both parties are trolling each other through the story. You read homestuck and in doing so you write homestuck. This is the main character of this story. What will you name him? Zoosmell pooplord? Fuck you. Where are his arms? They’ve been there the whole time you moron. The relationship between author and reader must be GENUINELY antagonistic, because that’s the basis of which the comic is built on. This is why, fundamentally, it does not work as a corporate product. You can’t truly antagonize a consumer base you’re trying to market to, and if you fail to antagonize them, you lose the core thread of what makes homestuck unique. In this essay I will

Let this be a living example that knowing the beliefs of any individual who wrote any piece of text- be it literature, articles, or posts- can and should drastically alter your perception on what the text is actually communicating, even if that knowledge has, on its face, changed none of the actual printed words. This is how application of real-world context works, and this is how it applies to any recorded medium.

It reminds me heavily of a quote from video essayist Jacob Geller, regarding the 1938 film Olympia- "It's different when Nazis do it". Olympia is a film that, on its face, simply depicts an artistic documentation of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. But within the context of its production taking place during the Nazi regime, with its director being a well known Nazi propagandist... The way the movie fixates on the power and elegance of the human form and Ancient Greek statues quickly shifts from being completely innocuous appreciation to the worship of what is perceived as the ideal forms of the "Aryan race". Suddenly, you understand the movie not to be a pretty inoffensive documentation of a historical event, but a propaganda piece.

Understanding the time period in which something was made, as well as the setting it was produced in/for, and whatever ideologies an artist may hold and experiences they've had is absolutely critical to getting a full understanding of anyone's work. There are some things that are near completely anodyne on their face, but the revelation of what the author thinks and feels about other people and the world around them totally redefines every word on the page.

This image is such a prime example of why context matters. This opinion, laid bare, stripped of context, is both inoffensive and nonsensical. No one's ever thought it to be lame to create your own nickname... But on its own, that's a harmless kind of wrong. ... But with the addition of them being marked as Anti-Trans (red) on Shinigami Eyes, a browser extension dedicated to crowdsourcing keeping track of Trans Friendly and Transphobic creators... Suddenly, "Nicknames" doesn't mean "Nicknames" anymore. Suddenly, you realize that "Nicknames" is code for "Chosen Names of Trans People". Suddenly this isn't about thinking choosing your own nickname is lame, this is about thinking that trans people shouldn't have the right to name themselves. Suddenly it's about invalidating identities, thinking they're worth mocking. Thinking that people who identify as trans are "just trying to be cool", and that they're not actually what they say they are, because you don't get to choose your gender nickname, that's something already decided for you.

Suddenly, you realize, it's not about "being lame".

It's about Transphobic Violence.

This is why you cannot ignore when an artist, author, essayist, developer, musician- so on and so forth- is bigoted. This is why you can't ignore the context behind their upbringing. This is why you can't ignore the context behind their lived experience, their ideals, their goals, their message. Yes, it may appear innocent on its face. Yes, it may look fine stripped from the context of it being written by an inevitably flawed human being. But what's really being said here? What do those words mean... To the one who wrote them?

Context redefines Text.

Even if the words didn't change.

A young woman sits alone in her room. It just so happens that today, the 14th of April, is the day she has decided to share a video essay from one of her favorite YouTubers. Though she has been sharing and reblogging content for months now, it is only today that she shall be given a name. What will the name of this young woman be?
