do you think it's possible that centuries (millenia, even) of religious and state doctrine that marriage is between one man and one woman, an unbreakable covenant with a higher power, might have had some impact on the way people are able to have romantic and sexual relationships with eachother? do you think the idea that sex outside of marriage is a sin has had some impact on how people view sexual drive and sexual desire? do you think it's possible that women's status as property which must be controlled in order to keep lineage might have some impact on the way men see thier wives/girlfriends? do you think any of this might have affected the way people view individuals who have had sex or desire sex with many different people? do you think it's possible that monogamy is not in fact a natural law of human nature? do you ever wonder if the cultural standard of monogamy could ever be detrimental or even cruel to the people liv8ng under it?

ME: so this is the 21st century CAVEMAN: i don't know what either of those words mean but okay ME: it'd take a while to explain. we've solved many problems that used to consume a lot of your time CAVEMAN: oh, so you've figured out why we're all here and what it all means and you've got nothing left to do but watch the sun go down and go back up again like a corpse ME: god no. We don't know any of that shit and we have like an average of half an hour of free time per day and we spend most of it worrying about shit other people say about us CAVEMAN: I'm going to draw you as a notoriously stupid animal on the wall of a cave ME: We have that too. It's called wojaks

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.
