currently on a PTSD-based hiatus, sorry :o(
@timebreaths@domoxd_800 when people point out that equius isn't a rapist your own comments under your post read as "well technically I'm reading middle school children having redrom blackrom sex: the comic, so basically he COULD have raped her from wanting her to be his matesprit while they're kismeses"
@timebreaths@domoxd_800 homestuck fans after raging about a character they don't like being a rapist when it comes to admitting their own favorite character is a rapist inspired by her favorite rapist: homestuck actually isn't that serious
@timebreaths@domoxd_800 you denying it is only proving you're bullshitting about equius being a rapist WITH THE SAME POINTS to make people look the other way when it comes to your favorite rapist
@chimeraAmbition@typicalIsopod I'd think more positive of the team once polyamory is addressed in meat without it being something like dave threatening his life over the idea of jake being involved with him and karkat while jake is only interested in taking karkat from him, because the team finds that SO funny
@chimeraAmbition@typicalIsopod are you aware of the other examples that aren't jade?
jane and jake's gamzee situation is called polyamory by jade herself
and john tries to gloss over his cheating, after claiming roxy was "probably" cheating, by suggesting polyamory after already tearing into jade over hers
@chimeraAmbition@typicalIsopod clearly no writer has ill-intention when making a specific pattern of for one specific queer identity they may be biased against compared to the others represented in an otherwise inclusive comic
@timebreaths should be vriska, who literally altered tavros's mind and made him act against his will to love her, especially since her point of reference was mindfang, who wrote erotica based off her raping her slaves she manipulated the same way, but okay
@typicalIsopod I think perhaps we need to consider the intention of the team writing polyamory in candy as "real couple with a sidepiece, someone shoehorning into a monogamous couple's lives, a bandage for active/past cheating" because it's everywhere with the harley-crocker family
@typicalIsopod@chimeraAmbition the team called jade's involvement "shoehorning" into dave and karkat's relationship and that she needs to realize she never "fit" in the first place
that's one of the few things john turned out to be right about when calling her out on it
@chimeraAmbition I get where you're coming from, but the writers intended this from the start
like with john trying to use the concept of polyamory as a bandage to gloss over cheating
it's the candy timeline, after all
