This is just a guess but I feel like the reason they removed '^2' from beyond canon's title is so it's not seen as an official continuation/sequel to homestuck, which- im ngl I feel like doing that in the first place would have made the discourse a lot less toxic

Like. They could have just positioned it as an exploration of beyond the canon of homestuck proper (which it looks like this new team is doing), something like paradox space - but instead, they basically went 'yeah all these controversial decisions and butchered characters? Yeah they're the official follow up to homestuck' which absolutely didn't help

#i think thats why i didnt mind post canon #because id already mentally separated it from canon proper #so instead of getting upset about the (numerous) bad decisions and how they impacted canon #i could just ignore them and instead focus on the interesting or cool ideas and how theyd impact canon #<- highly recommend btw probably the best way to read post canon #also. lets be real post canon has some cool shit in it #dirks candy death? ult dirk? alt calliope and ult dirk fighting for narrative control?#commander karkat and davebot?#the kids?#theres some interesting shit there #me.txt #homestuck #homestuck beyond canon #god is that what the tag is now #homestuck 2 #still using this one
