Since Sburb equals genocide, Pretty much.

Though it's not necessarily kid exclusive. Consider FedoraFreak.

Well, but it's not like the genocide is the individual responsibility of any one person playing the game, is it? Given the existence of Sburb, genocide is literally inevitable, and playing the game is the only ticket out.

Actually that brings up a lot of interesting questions about responsibility and ethics, come to think of it.

(I freely admit that I've only read like half of Homestuck and it's possible that there's shit that I don't know that overwrites my understanding of things, let me know if that's the case)

That's not 100% correct - not to give anything away - but basically, yeah, trying to fight the game doesn't do much good. Your options are to perpetuate reality or not to perpetuate reality, and the latter has no impact on anyone except that particular iteration of you and your party. So you might as well just do what comes naturally at all times and hope your timeline is still the alpha.

If nobody played the game, the genocide wouldn't have happened. Just because it's retroactive doesn't mean you weren't responsible.

If nobody played the game then that'd become a doomed timeline. Of course, everyone would live a little bit longer, but they'd still be doomed.

But you wouldn't be culpable.

No, I think it's more that it's destiny that the game will be played. Even one other person playing Sburb on a planet will initiate global apocalypse... so it actually kind of is best for as many different groups of people to play as possible, to maximize the chances of SOME people surviving and creating a new universe.

Playing the game isn't being responsible for the genocide... it's basically trying to live out the genocide already underway while saving as many of your friends as possible along the way.

Basically, per HS mythology, you might as well say that NOT playing the game is tantamount to committing suicide.

It depends, I suppose. The Beta kids arent, no.

But Sollux is. And to a lesser extent Aradia. They brought the game into being in their universe. Predestined? Sure. But there's still blame.

Though I suppose I may have been undualy harsh. Playing the game doesn't make you a sociopath.

Just desiring to play does.

Why does no one ever remember poor FedoraFreak? :( He's the best for realsies. He needs more love.

If you find homestuck interesting when the names not used, maybe it's time to admit homestuck just might be interesting.
