So this is a callout post. If you want to stop reading there that's cool, but I cannot let a raging misogynist, biphobe, transphobe, lesbophobe person parading as an upstanding queer artist keep getting platformed when he's said some heinous things, behaved terribly and begs for likes as if life is a popularity contest. Block me if you disagree but I'm writing this here as Tumblr is less ephemeral than other channels. Part of this post was originally posted here as a reply.

fragments/nights-at-crystarium/Jay have been posting misogynistic, biphobic, transphobic, lesbophobic, entitled comments and then claiming people are homophobic when they criticise him back. Please rethink if you want to keep supporting him.

A/N: warning this is a LONG POST and I have truncated it under the break. I have also added the most recent misogynistic rant at the top just below the biphobia.

C/W: Biphobia, misogyny, transphobic language, lesbophobia, entitlement

Biphobia

Context: an anon send him a message about how Emet can only be gay, Japanese people don't understand queercoding and that people who ship femme character with him are delusional.

See here for why his Emet-Selch comment was biphobic at worst and misguided at best. (thank you @birues for bringing this to everyone's attention)

---

Misogyny and Trans-exclusionary language

Jay HATES the idea that women want to share this space too. In addition to the Tumblr post above he posted this to his Patreon discord, which is not private as his patrons can access it. He laments that people make fem characters because it's default and he wishes they all would transition to men. He also jumps in to insult two artists with m/f Emet ships @nipuni and @ja-ck-du and calling their art hetslop:

(continued with more of his terrible behaviour after the break)

Pattern of rancid behaviour over the years

Let's start with the laundry list of all the bad behaviour he's expressed through the YEARS. You can read this better on my reddit comment here which I posted in reply to a shill thread made by what most people agree as Jay's sockpuppet account on the ffxiv subreddit. All of these I had the displeasure of witnessing myself or have been corroborated by multiple people:

---

Self-aggrandising behaviour

Here is Jay claiming that there aren't many queer creators in xiv which is INSANE because this is the queerest fandom I have ever seen. You can't sneeze without hitting a queer artist. He also calls himself a pillar of the community, which is HILARIOUS because I have never seen him uplift other creators. You can't be a pillar of the community if you don't engage with the community. Your sycophants don't count.

How can you victimise yourself to such a degree?

He also claimed that if he was a lesbian, all of these callout of his rancid behaviour won't happen, which is laughable because you ask any lesbian in this space what being femme entails, they'd tell you straight up that they have experienced misogyny, no less from people like you Jay.

---

Entitlement

Jay being ungrateful that ONLY 25 people have shared his post, and then saying you deserve to not be helped when you need it unless you share his post because he's a poor comic artist earning $1.2k from patreon every month. Because not sharing a post from a popular artist is obviously equivalent to not helping someone in dire straits. If you have been around, you'd know that times are hard, especially when you're queer. He's wishing you ill for the offence of not pressing that repost button.

---

Being ungrateful with a sprinkling of misogyny

Jay straight up insulting anon's wife because how dare she reads his comic when she hasn't played ShB because her mind would not comprehend the complexity of his plot. And this is AFTER he begs for followers, as he does with every single one of his goddamn post.

So which is it, are you going to appreciate people who read your comic or are you going to put up so many qualifiers you only deem them worthy of following you when they've ticked all of them?

Hey Jay, maybe you should connect to your readers in a genuine manner and not in bad faith where all you want is for them to stroke your ego whilst giving a facade of appreciation.

And maybe, just maybe, you should start uplifting your fellow queer creators before demanding everyone support you.

---

If you've read this far, thank you. I hope if you have ever supported him in the past that you rethink if you want to still support him after this. I do not care how big his following is; I do care that mask off misogyny is being let loose in our space. It doesn't matter if you're queer or a woman, we should not sweep this under the rug especially during Pride Month.

With Shadowbringers being in the free trial now, I'm imploring you all to not rush through Stormblood. You might hear it's not as good as Heavensward or Shadowbringers but that's because the bar is in the stratosphere. Especially pay attention for the Azim Steppe section.

IT IS APRIL 13, 2011.

Lady Gaga's Born This Way, Katy Perry's E.T. and Rihanna's S&M are on top of the charts. Fast Five and Thor are about to release in theaters. Game of Thrones is days away from its TV premiere. Tumblr is four years old.

Andrew Hussie has just posted pages 3710 - 3714, the two-year anniversary update of their groundbreaking webcomic Homestuck.

TWO YEARS AGO TODAY, I turned on New Reader Mode in the Unofficial Homestuck collection. Every day, I wake up, I read the Homestuck pages posted fifteen years ago to the day, I read forum threads and social media posts from 2011 documenting people's real-time reactions, I look at fan content, speculation and sometimes drama, and I try to understand the live reading experience for this comic. A year ago the fandom was small but dedicated. Now, it is becoming something massive, and it is no less dedicated.

You can join in with the ongoing read by catching up on pages 1 - 3714, and following this blog for daily updates as we gear up for the end of Act 5. Or, you can start a new replay from 2026-2033, reading pages 1 - 16 today and using this spreadsheet for daily updates. (File -> Make a copy to edit and customize the sheet for yourself).

It is April 13, 2011, and Tumblr has a Homestuck community, but it is not yet the Homestuck website. Perhaps, this year will be our year.
