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.
