this is definitely an unpopular opinion and people will take this to mean i don't like homestuck at all which isn't true, but i think it's crazy how homestuck is definitely much more problematic than harry potter or the other things we don't look back on charitably and people brush off its misanthropy as "quirky" or "funny". the entire plot is structured around the concept that cruelty is necessary or everyone goes "soft" and "weak" and fails to defeat the barbarians. this is a theme that pops up all over the webcomic- vriska, both scratches, the retcon, dave's relationship with his brother. it is not hyperbolic to say it is a fascist webcomic. when will we be ready to talk about this.
