EDIT: Okay, the issue got cleared up! Thanks to unit82717, I am a much wiser man now.
So we have (as always) two kinds of dumb people: Those who demonize and those who woobify.
But this is Homestuck, and most characters are somewhere in the middle. Like so many others, Dirk’s made mistakes and he can be a douche, but that doesn’t mean he’s crossed the Moral Event Horizon.
but dirk has an attitude and behavioral pattern and thought process and perception of the world and himself and other people that need to change before he can stop being a shithead all the time
he’s not irredeemable imo, he’s not *as* bad as vriska or eridan, but at the same time i’d say you can totally make an argument for “bad person” depending on how you define that and how severely
Being a bad person has a lot to do with intentionally committing morally awry things. And as opposed to popular opinion, Dirk usually has no goddamn clue what he’s doing. He may be acting like he’s pulling all the strings, but do you truly believe that…?
And you have to admit that he cares really, really deeply for his friends and tries very hard to help them in every way he can. Yes, this is no excuse. Vriska has crippled Tavros in an attempt to “help” him, too, after all. But as opposed to Vriska, Dirk never caused any lasting lasting damage, which basically makes his lapses nothing more than him being an inconsiderate and ignorant friend at times, who still tries the best for his friends, even if it isn’t always what they need. Which the other three alpha kids are guilty of as well.
Thus he is neither in mind nor in actions a bad person.

Alright, if you’re a consumer and you’re considering picking up the new Xbox One console, then please, take a moment to listen to me. Before we begin, no, I am not a fanboy or a hater. I have no console Bias. I have a PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and a Gaming PC. Each has their pros and cons but now onto business.
DO NOT BUY AN XBOX ONE. Why? See the reasons below:
On „Studying sexism with Skyrim — Fus Ro Va! Gina!“
There is an elaborate article called „Studying sexism with Skyrim — Fus Ro Va! Gina!“ written by Sophie Prell on Destructoid. While baffled by the title, I was really curious about it, as I personally was relieved how un-sexist Skyrim was in comparison to most other games I’ve played.
There are female Jarl, some capable, some incapable, just like there were capable and incapable male Jarl. There are female guild leaders and other leading figures, some flawed, some admirable just like there were flawed and admirable male leading figures.
Yes, there still are some issues left, and there are points Sophie Prell brings up that I completely agree with, but all in all I was (and am) convinced that Skyrim is a huge step into the right direction regarding female representation.
I also want to make it absolutely clear that I’m not discussing against Sophie Prell here. I think it is a very important thing to point out and dig up sexist issues in the gaming industry because man is it due. I just want to make it clear that Skyrim is a very bad example to work with in that regard.
I read the original article and was kinda disappointed in it. I don’t think that Skyrim is perfect. Ask my girlfriend, I can bitch about aspects of Skyrim from the way they compressed the textures, broken prerelease-promises, modding community politics, storyline issues, through to broken lore and quest bugs.
However, I didn’t think that a lot of the points she raised were very strong. I was really surprised that the Marks of Dibella quest from Riften wasn’t mentioned, since that is in my opinion, the single most sexist incident in the entire game, and doesn’t have alternative options.
But, Calvindile covered most of that, so what I’m going to focus on is the mods she mentions. Curse is absolutely small fry compared to Skyrim Nexus or Steam Workshop with regard to mod downloads, so its an interesting choice unless she chose it just cos it happened to have a mod called Nude Females on the top of their ranking.
Hmmm I like how having the opinion that Dirk is an evil manipulator is the new “in” thing in the fandom rn. And now he’s thrown in one pot together with Vriska and Eridan…?
Remind me, when was the last time Dirk crippled or killed somebody…?
You know, the opinion per se is completely valid and I agree with it 100%!
But the whole Dirk thing man… he can be an insensitive prick sometimes, and he did pull some objectionable shit. But that doesn’t put him on the same level of “bad person-ness” as Vriska and Eridan.
And I’m not saying that to defend him but to set things straight. Dude may have issues, but he also has his heart in the right place and all this “he’s such a manipulative bastard” talk is really getting on my nerves.
he doesn’t have to be as bad as vriska and eridan to be bad.
i’m also pretty sure the majority opinion of dirk isn’t that he’s an evil manipulator, or even a huge jackass. too many strider fans.
So we have (as always) two kinds of dumb people: Those who demonize and those who woobify.
