I kind of agree, to an extent. I don't view Vriska as stereotypical, but I also don't view her as a positive "hey look what girls can do!" type of character, especially given that Homestuck has plenty of great female heroes who really are good models for "girl power" (not really a big fan of that phrase, tbh--it just tends to come across as a bit overwrought to me somehow--but it is the phrase used here).

Also, I should note that I'm just grinning over here because Roxy is my favorite human character and Aradia is my favorite character overall. Now THOSE are some really amazing girl characters, IMO.

yeah, i'm definitely not saying vriska isn't strong to a degree, but i just find it strange that of all the excellent women/girls in homestuck, vriska is the one that the op found "empowering" or as a symbol of positive girl power. i think pretty much... every female homestuck character is awesome. hussie does a great job of making his characters well-rounded, "realistic" (lol) people with their own weaknesses and strengths.

i think vriska's weaknesses in particular set her aside from the other girls in that her motives and behaviour are not equivalent to a female character that would make me - no less society as a whole - view her as independent from stereotyping, i guess. like i said, it's usually either "she's weak" or "she's a bitch" and vriska's lack of conventional weakness, while empowering to some degree, doesn't keep her out of the latter category. no other homestuck lady has this ~dilemma, i think. so overall i'm puzzled by this secret.

aradia doesn't get enough love from the fandom. i think people think she's boring or something, i dunno. she's not one of my favourites personally but she is far from boring! she's a great character, as is roxy. i think roxy is my favourite human.
