HomestuckXYZ

In the same vein as the post above me, I've watched all the Barty's Brewha-ha episodes(?) more times than I can count over the years. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend looking it up. It's absurd, hilarious and also happens to be the source of the line, "Goodnight, sweet prince."

And It Don't Stop is genuinely some of his best work in terms of design and looks, and I wish it was easily to read in the modern era

if he cut the prohibition-era racial slurs out of the intermission, why not And It Dont Stop? get off your ass andrew!!!!

There used to be slurs in the intermission?

No lol not that I can remember or have been able to find. Maybe I'm doing a bad job or maybe it just wasn't archived but the wayback doesn't show anything. Also, the Unofficial Homestuck Collection (which has New Reader Mode that preserves each page as it was originally uploaded) doesn't have any slurs in the intermission. Unless r----- counts as a slur? I know some people say it does. But then again I don't even think it is used in the intermission only the main acts when dave says it.


Mario Edit: (Rule BS #3) While it wasn't used in an inflammatory way, generally avoiding using slurs (though they are present in works and may not be possible to avoid mentioning them in some way) is the best policy.

Luigi Edit: Guess that answers whether or not it counts as a slur.
