I like the dudes, too, but I seriously love how many awesome ladies there are! And I squee pretty hard when they go badass (which happens often! especially in the troll arc!)

[identity profile] findmyantidrug.livejournal.com 2010-09-15 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHA YES. God, there are some lovely lady characters in Homestuck.

I do like the guys, though. They just don't inspire the same frantic 'yessss' that the girls do. (Except Gamzee.)

[identity profile] radio-nurse.livejournal.com 2010-09-15 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, out of all the Homestuck secrets we've had, this is the one that really makes me want to read it.

(Anonymous) 2010-09-15 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Do what I do; read, obsess, and stay far away from the fandom.

(Anonymous) 2010-09-15 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck yeah. I genuinely think Homestuck's female characters are some of the best in any form of media currently being produced/shown. I'll admit I don't particularly like Jade or Rose (Rose is sometimes funny but she gives me weird feelings of embarrassment because I remember writing like that when I was young, oh my god) but all the troll ladies are amazing. I think the guys are all awesome too though ;D

It's basically the reason I don't object to the canon romance in the comic - normally in media the female character in a relationship is a shallow stereotype and you end up thinking "What can he possibly see in her?". Everyone is so likable I can't think of a romance couple I would really dislike.

Fuck yes to this. I love Karkat and Dave and John, don't get me wrong, but it's so fucking great to read a story and not be like "well the ladies would be awesome if they could do something cool, or if they weren't obsessed with the lovin', or if they were put in positions of power, or if they weren't all really girly, or if they weren't uniformly hating on being femme." There are tons of them and some of them are bluh bluh huge bitches and some of them are sweethearts and ALL OF THEM ARE PEOPLE. Fucking miracles.

yessss <3 I like the guy characters, but the girls are just awesome. That latest flash was awesome in this way too - I mean the only guy who was shown in hero mode (correct me if I'm wrong) was Tavros, and the poor guy was just stuck in the middle of three women trying to reap vengence on each other.

I'm easily pleased. give me some female characters who are varied, human, interestng and likeable, and apparently I just squee forever.

[identity profile] humblebot.livejournal.com 2010-09-15 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Homestuck is the only piece of media I can think of that has an almost perfectly equal gender distribution without:
A. Being written by a woman
B. women as the primary target audience
C. having the women there as love interests by and large

I honestly can't think of anything else atm. Which is sad. But better than being able to name zero, so yay Homestuck!

Avatar The Last Airbender.

So, yeah. Two.

Wait I guess Utena sort of counts? I always think of it as being "for women" because I personally love it so much but I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

[identity profile] cheshirecgrin.livejournal.com 2010-09-15 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, I have several favorite male characters in MSPA, but I think this might be the first fandom I've ever honestly been able to say that I have favorite girl characters. FIRST EVER. And it's not just one or two either! There are so many fucking awesome girls in this comic!

[identity profile] lanoyee.livejournal.com 2010-09-15 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Agreeing with an anon up there; this secret alone ALMOST makes me want to read Homestuck.

Almost because I once went to read a few pages and went "... wait, I'm not supposed to adblock this?"

(Anonymous) 2010-09-15 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhh? Your reason for not reading a webcomic is that you're paranoid about... animated gifs? Can you like, elaborate on this?

(Anonymous) 2010-09-15 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
ever heard of a thing called epilepsy, nonnie?

Not paranoid, just, uh, sensitive. I find animated icons, web-ads etc. very distracting and unnerving. For some undefined reason, actual movies or cartoons do not do this to me.

Guess I should just suck it up one fine day.

(Anonymous) 2010-09-16 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
All the stuff I heard about the troll girls is what got me into the comic, tbh. I love the guys too, but the girls will always have a special place in my heart. Especially Terezi; she's the baddest of all the asses. All of them.

Also, CANON LESBIANS \o/

[identity profile] sharknasty.livejournal.com 2010-09-16 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Are they really? I was under the impression that trolls didn't have a set standard for sexuality.

(Anonymous) 2010-09-16 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I believe AH came out and straight up said Kanaya is a lesbian in one of the chat threads. Can't find it atm.

When it comes to characters in Homestuck, their biological sex is one of the last things I take into account; but I guess you could see it like that. Wouldn't be wrong either.

[identity profile] box-life.livejournal.com 2010-09-16 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yessss. ALL OF THEM ARE PEOPLE. It's really made me realize just HOW BAD most media is in this department. I could hold Homestuck up and say THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.

I like the boys too, though. :) Karkat is AMAZING, and Gamzee and Tavros make me really happy. And my boyfriend is pretty much John in the flesh, down to the hair and the glasses. So, I gotta love him too.

[identity profile] eleusis-walks.livejournal.com 2010-09-16 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
I honestly think Homestuck is one of the most excellent feminist genre works I've ever seen, and it's all the more remarkable in that I don't think Hussie is -trying- to do it. It's just how he/it is.

[identity profile] ember-reignited.livejournal.com 2010-09-16 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
You are not alone in that thought.

Hussie has mentioned that he did want to have a cast with a roughly even gender split. And because he has such dedication to making all of his characters compelling, that was really all it took. Instant feminism, just add water.

[identity profile] nextian.livejournal.com 2010-09-16 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yup. No matter how problematic I might find it in other areas, I'm actually profoundly grateful that the comic exists just for that.

[identity profile] ember-reignited.livejournal.com 2010-09-16 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
I do like the guys too but... yeah. I am just continually blown away by how awesome the girls are.

Also that collage makes me really happy.
