It's Hussie trolling the shit out of people who think Homestuck is racist, lol

considering all the characters, in all his comics (except for dersites and trolls and cherubs) are white, i don't see what the big deal isBulbasaur said:

Hussie specifically stated that none of the characters of Homestuck have any race- like a coloring book sort of deal- when asked
he decided that Trickster Mode Jane, however, has a canonical Caucasian skin color, which is resulting in a swarm of people getting pissy about him "bringing race into it" and "ruining Homestuck" (the I'M FEELING CAUCASIAN line didn't come in until after people started flipping out)

so... why is it a big deal?
if anything it only puts caucasians in a bad light because jane is an awful character, so

if you consider "stupidly overpowered for no apparent reason" to be good, then yeah
IF SHE WAS STUPIDLY OVERPOWERED THEN SHE'D HAVE EFFORTLESSLY SOLVED A PROBLEM OF SOME KIND BY NOW
AS IT IS SHE'S CAUSING NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, AND EVEN THEN IT ISN'T ANYTHING TOO BIG
AND "NO APPARENT REASON" ARE YOU EVEN PAYING ATTENTION

you're just a big fan of no apparent reason because that's why gamzee is still alive
To be honest, I couldn't really see the skin color thing at all initially. When I first saw the update, I thought her skin tone was supposed to resemble cookie dough or something (I mean, she even has a muffin in her hair).
I still can't say I like the update that much. I have trouble seeing that this is still the same comic that I started to like some time ago. Everything is so meta now. I mean, of course Hamsteak was always meta to a degree, but the amount the outside world is bleeding into the comic lately... I don't know. For me it feels like it is suffocating the plot. The plot which is barely even there at this point. <_>
Many of the big earlier conflicts (which still haven't really been concluded) have been replaced by whimsical new shenanigans. A bunch of acts ago Bec Noir was supposed to be a big deal. The whole plot was centered around finding a way to overcome his threat. Then all of that was very unceremonially discarded by Vriska who basically said "What? Bec Noir? That's old news, there's a new guy now!". This new threat surfacing was mostly handled in abridged form. When he appeared in the comic, everyone just sorta knew about him already. It feels like everything is just being replaced left and right, nothing is properly introduced anymore, everything is just assumed to have been there all the time. New characters are brought in for no reason, no older plot threads are tied up satisfyingly, no closure is given. And ironically, even though Calibore is now the biggest threat to the characters by far, the actual suspense I get from that threat is miniscule because everything that is at stake I don't even really care about. Maybe that's the purpose of the comic: Setting up the ultimate irony of having a villain who is so stupidly dangerous that actually nothing relevant is at stake.
I'm beginning to think that everyone actually died around the time the Green Sun was created. Gamzee was the only survivor and he is now sitting in a circle of everyone's heads, trying to tell and conclude the story in a way that makes sense to a homicidal clown.

Every little thing has some form of significance at some point.
Betty Crocker. The Horrorterrors (and, by extension, the Squiddles). Marquise Spinnernet Mindfang. Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. Problem Sleuth's Fan-Reqested Game Commands. I'm still waiting for GameBro's time to shine, but I bet we'll see it.
This is what's happening with Trickster Mode. It already seems like a big deal, considering the implication that it's responsible for Cal, the Warhammer of Zillyhoo, and the Squiddles.
