Okay well the ending sucked but I guess it's finally over. Okay well there were those snapchat epilogue things but I guess it's finally over. Okay well now there's a super long Actual Epilogue that I can't be assed to read, but I guess it's finally over. Okay well there's still some leftover Hiveswap/Friendsim BS but I guess it's finally over. Okay well now there's a whole "Homestuck 2" that just started but--

Given that the writers and artists making Homestuck 2 and the games are being paid, I'm wondering if this whole thing is just a way to give his friends jobs.

So there hasn’t been an update on the comic as of late. Do you guys think Hussie might be receiving more slaves with musical and animation skills or he just completely forgot about it?

It's supposed to be a monthly update, I think. Maybe he's going for the Aaron Diaz model of doing basically no real work, but collecting an easy $5k per month from supporters who want to throw money at him for work he's already done moreso than what he's doing now.
I mean, $5k a month is enough to support a pretty serious heroin/pill habit.

Well, thats exactly whats happening with this in fact, Homestuck 2 was in the works for a looooong time recently in the newest 'Perfectly Generic Podcast' (PGENPOD) where the writers actively jerk themselves off which is hilarious, they confirmed Hussie outline this already and he pitched it to Viz and got rejected. I found a summary of it on 4chan
Also theres a larger summary of it on Reddit. Here.
post contents on reddit got deleted. also, could you throw in the link to the thread from the screenshot?

I mean, it would probably be somewhere on the level of epilogues. As in: you read them and think "just what the fuck are they doing to these characters". It would be more of a trainwreck then a dumpster fire. The kind which you can't quite turn away from, yet immesurably more sad, because you knew the people who were on that train.

To be an incredible person is to throw the trash you no longer wish to deal with at a bunch of smelly 30 year old fangirls.

Hussie being a incredible human by putting in the hard work and handing over his own creation to his obvious social betters. I honestly have a hard time wrapping my mind around how someone who would say something like this must think.
I'd like to point out that the Homestuck fan community has always had a high proportion of "women and queer people" in it creating content and its not as if they've all been elevated to some special position over Homestuck canon just because a select few of Hussie's buddies have.

Hussie is stuck in that hellish zone between "Fucking tired of this shit and fucking tired of the spergy fanbase" and "Can't stop now because this is my only source of money and relevance".

I'm just old enough to remember the early days of webcomics, when everyone sneered at the old newspaper comics like Blondie or B.C. that had obviously used up what little scrap of creativity they'd ever had decades ago, and now just shambled on, written by the sons of the sons of the men who'd bought out the original authors, forever rehashing the same stale "jokes" to elicit the faintest of smiles from aging readers who dimly associated it with things they liked in their youth. Bill Watterson was admired for putting Calvin & Hobbes to rest gracefully as soon as he realized that he couldn't keep on writing things consistent with his own standards. The internet, it was predicted, would change things. Now that there were no gatekeepers and anyone could publish their own comic, the market forces driving newspaper comics would be irrelevant, so weird, irreverent auteur products would flourish, and a new golden age of comic strips would result.
So I find it beautiful to watch what began as one of the weirdest, most self-consciously postmodern and occasionally even avant-garde webcomics get sold off and turned into a commercial product written and designed by a committee of randos who're good at sucking dick and making industry connections, because it's too profitable and influential to be allowed to die. Just like Blondie, or Mark Trail, or Gasoline Alley. And to watch all the people involved pat themselves on the back about how "important" their work is because it contains themes that fall in line with currently fashionable politics, knowing that these people once prided themselves on their off-kilter refusal to fall in line with mass society... my God, it's all such an absolutely perfect tragic arc that I'm amazed to see it play out in the real world.

Homestuck feels like it's being treated like Harry Potter at this point. You thought that long-established character was actually white and cishet? Wrong, they're actually WOKE.

Speeging below:
How would being trans work in a society that kills you if you so ever display any sort of disability or disease at child birth? And how would you go about transitioning? Did Vriska transition with help of the labs located in their hideout? Or was it before the trolls played the game?
Granted there is a transtroll in Friendsim (and later in Hiveswap) but I haven't really looked them up because fuck that noise.
Additionally, Vriska isn't like Kanaya, who's strictly into girls. She had feelings for two boys, even dated both of them after they both died.
