Most modern 2020s analyses of Alternia and trolls are shit.
"Alternia is a matriarchy." "Nооооооо Alternia is a patriarchy."
No, neither one nor the other.
"BUT LORD ENGL-"
An excuse for lazy worldbuilding.
Trolls should have neither patriarchy nor matriarchy. Only hemospectrum matters. There is an interesting new system and you shove everything back into a gender essentialist framework. Embrace gender irrelevancy for trolls and try new things.
Not everything has to be so human-centric.
Stop analyzing the relationship between Eridan and Feferi as the relationship between an incel and an unavailable girl.
If you want allegories, these are two rich white cis hetero men who had a fight and one killed the other.
No jadebloods being imprisoned in a cave is not misogyny. This is a hemospectrum based oppression.
Try at least once in your life to imagine a female character in a position of gender irrelevance and in a completely different system of social hierarchy.
No, lowbloods aren't female coded nor are highbloods are male coded.
Hussie is just a fool and, like most sci fi writers, she stuck skirts and lipstick on the aliens. Trying to somehow explain this using the influence of Lord English you slide into wild and vile gender essentialism.
(Although explaining everything by the influence of LE is in any case lazy and boring worldbuilding by Andrew himself)
IDK TRY SOMETHING CREATIVE
HOMESTUCK META ANALYSIS SUCKS
STOP PUTTING SHITTI ALUSSIONS EVERYWHERE ACTION
