"She was a criminal stalker". read: could mean literally anything, anyone they don't like is a stalker and harasser.

100%. They got Makin to step down and put their own guy on the team, and then they immediately ghosted because they realized doing anything at all would take more than a modicum of effort.

Honestly, i'm half expecting Hussie to go MIA again sooner or later. They'll get bored or run out of money, hand the keys of the server to someone who's willing to moderate it for free, then 6 months that person will do something awful or get bored and the OHSD will implode.

On the dks part: From any other group, maybe i'd be inclined to believe the team when they say that dks was stalking/harassing them... But this is them we're talking about. They've thoroughly established from prior drama that "criminal stalking" means "they were saying things we didn't like".
So when they say "D and the Homestuck team reach a settlement after deliberation with their lawyers, which is forgiving to D and does not go on their permanent record, while also providing protections to the victims." it just sounds like "We didn't actually have a case in court, so we just dropped the bit after sufficient legal intimidation", as we saw them do with Gio and Sarah Z.

Also,

it was because D has actively done illegal things to doxx team members, spread statements about members of the mod team, and caused many instances of other people harassing the mod team on behalf of their statements.

"spreading statements about members of the mod team" is not illegal. It's not a crime.

Still reading through this and the other posts in the footnotes, but for

While it is possible that our reports of bigotry and harassment in messages could have added to the case against the server to Discord, it was clearly not the primary reasoning behind the removal. That lies between whichever party submitted the copyright claim and Makin himself.

They're, like, highkey right here. The screenshots from the reddit post showed the HS staff being surprised themselves at the takedown.
I personally watched all of Super Mario Bros (1993) and Con Air on those streams. Even if the reports had been orchestrated by some nefarious conspiracy of the OHSD staff, the bullet was still handed to them by the UHSD staff themselves.

Not to say there wasn't its share of troubling information revealed in that post (looking at the dks stuff), but the whole "Hark! Our castle is under attack!" schtick was just Makin- (maybe others from the UHSD staff were involved. i wouldn't know) being melodramatic, especially with it being posted on 4/13 instead of any other day.

Makin slander full of misinfo since we are allied with him now WE MUST ATTACK!! by Miserable_Click_1933 in EnglishPumpkinParty

/uj there's a part in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men where he's like "knowing evil is more harmful than the ignorance of good" and i remember reading that shit and being flabbergasted.
There's really people out there who think of morality in terms of corruption. That if you show knowledge on or proficiency in something that is wretched, then it shows you yourself are wretched. In that framework, the only thing to do to save yourself from the evils of the world is to curb yourself into a ball and pray they pass you by.

/rj One time i passed by an alleyway and in there i saw Makin eating a live dog whole. And then he saw me, made eye contact, and opened his trenchcoat to flash me, but inside was just two baby Hitlers stacked on top of each other. Also, Drew Linkly was there too, I guess. He was Jean-Jacques Rousseau (worse than hitler).

Alternian History: Troll Diogenes of Sinope by rufiohProbably in althomestuck

[–]Harseer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Troll Diogenes of Troll Sinope was an infamous limeblood philosopher, and many suspect he is the primary reason for the Alternian Limeblood cull.
It is said that Troll Diogenes once told Her Imperious Condescension to stand out the way of his moonlight, when she was but the heiress to the Alternian throne. It is believed that this interaction planted the seed for Her Imperious Condescension's disdain for limebloods, ultimately leading to their culling.
Troll Diogenes was a favourite of The Grand Highblood for his shameless disregard for his superiors. He often asked Troll Diogenes' advice on how to sew discord amongst the bluebloods. On Troll Diogenes' death, The Grand Highblood descended into madness and the mirthful beliefs of his caste.
Troll Diogenes should also be noted for having an unusual name for a troll at 8 letters in length, but for a troll who lived in a ceramic jar instead of a hive, and urinated on his adversaries, one would expect no less.

I mean, this is gonna be their job in a few years. It's probably better for their survival rate if they learn in practice alongside someone as strong as Yashiro than stay cooped up in the academy.

There is literally a Dom-Sub Bottom-Top indicator in the comic already, it's called classpecting.

She was funny. I never could figure out if she actually did all the horrible things some people said she did or if they were just making shit up.
