I sometimes wonder what the IP situation for Homestuck actually looks like. Like, yes, on paper Andrew Hussie sold the rights to Homestuck outright to Viz Media in 2017, but what did he actually sell? What did they actually buy? Hussie famously made extensive use of uncompensated fan-labour in large parts of the comic’s production, including labour performed pseudonymously and/or labour provided by minors, and definitely there’s a conversation to be had about the ethical dimension of that – you can genuinely make an argument that Homestuck was built on the back of child labour law violations, which I bet isn’t a sentence you were expecting to read today! – but I have to imagine it’s also rendered the comic’s IP situation a hopeless mess.
people used to send me gore in the hopes of upsetting me but when I was an idiot teenager I wanted to be a forensic pathologist (lol. lmao) and read so many textbooks and saw so many dead bodies that images just don’t really faze me.
anyway one time someone sent me gore and when I didn’t react they used “is not upset by gore” as a bullet against me in a callout post. sorry for not being easy to trigger…?
“ruh-roh! this dangerous psychopath failed to be sufficiently destabilized by my attempts to traumatize them on purpose! stay safe guys xoxoxo”
