Okay, it's complex.

Basically Hussie said at one point that the kids are aracial. Which means a lot of people were portraying them as nonwhite, which is awesome--it's complicated by the fact that half of them are canon blond and appear to be born that way but whatever, it's a cartoon.

He then releases this frame (originally it said 'caucasian;' peachy was added after a lot of people complained and a greater number were really jerky to the complainers, for some reason depictions of the kids as nonwhite really offends some people even though Hussie's calendars feature nonwhite fanart). It's pretty much trolling those who get up in arms about the race issue. He went so far as to say the kids are "canonically caucasian" in trickster mode.

Only the entire trickster thing is kind of creepy and meant to be seen as such--so this isn't exactly an endorsement of whiteness or confirmation that the kids are white when not in freaky mode.

Basically a lot of people in the SJW community are angry because Hussie trolled them, as he often does. Others are angry because they are pretty consistently angry. Others seem uncertain whether to be angry at Hussie or a lot of gross people in the fandom but Hussie made it so he gets the brunt of it.

Wow, that was actually a really good explanation.

Thanks for the explanation. I actually got off my lazy butt and read Hussie's explanation sometime after making this secret, which at least explained why it was theoretically funny and why some people found it offensive. I still don't find it especially funny, but at least I'm not so confused.

Re: OP

I don't find it hilarious either, but homestuck is like 47% puns anyway, so I feel like the 'peach' version fits and is cuter.

Re: OP

the new joke hass three callbacks;

the expressive fruit, edible tricksters, and old jargon.

Plus it has a much better chance of actually making sense to future archive readers.
