Automated Homestuck Blog

This is @popomerrygamz ‘s Semi-automatic Homestuck side blog.

I reblog almost everything Homestuck related and I tag none of it. Tag me if you want me to reblog something, I’ll do it.

I think a much more honest reading of it is that both Satyrs and Nymphs are in a patriarchal society. Satyrs are based on Dirk and Nymphs are based on Rose. Obviously, Satyrs are Dirk’s fascist fantasy taking inspiration from classical Greece/Roman culture, Japanese culture, and contemporary western culture. But I think people are ignoring the Nymph side of things. Nymphs are doomerist believing all prophecies come true. They have a whole “divine feminine” magic system going on. TERFs have this ideological belief that suffering is inherent and ADORE the concept of the “divine feminine.”

Alpha Rose was in many ways, inspired by JK Rowling. Now, this was before it was revealed she was a TERF. Rose overall was VERY much influenced by the at-the-time love of Harry Potter and wizards in general. It was after years of people calling out her active racism, but people don’t care about that. Rose… Isn’t exactly a good person in Beyond Canon. She cheated on her wife to give birth to a baby instead of using Ectobiology. Rosebot and Dirk have been acting a little Flowers in the Attic. I think there’s been a lot of focus on Rose performing bad actions that conform to the cisheteropatriarchies role of womanhood. She’s been activating the warning signals in my head. I think they are setting up Rose to be a TERF.

I think Nymphs and Satyrs represent extreme gender essentialism under the patriarchy. Satyrs as the obvious rvtvrn fantasy, but Nymphs as well as the divine wvtchy wombyn fantasy. I think this Ursula K. Le Guin quote says it best:
