# HomestuckSlurReplacement
The Homestuck Slur Replacement Project

## The Homestuck Slur Replacement Project
By Jonaya Riley (@AltUniverseWash on Twitter)
By Jonaya Riley ([@AltUniverseWash](https://twitter.com/altuniversewash) on Twitter)
1. About this project
This project is an addon to the Unofficial Homestuck Collection that aims to replace instances of various ableist slurs throughout Homestuck in a way that doesn't only censor the slurs, but also preserves (and sometimes enhances) the original intent behind the dialogue. There are cases where writing around the use of the slur actually enhances the impact of some of the dialogue.
### About this project
The project is being written and maintained by Jonaya Riley (@AltUniverseWash), a writer in the Homestuck fan community.
This project is an addon to the Unofficial Homestuck Collection that aims to replace instances of various ableist slurs throughout Homestuck in a way that doesn't only censor the slurs, but also preserves (and sometimes enhances) the original intent behind the dialogue. There are cases where writing around the use of the slur actually enhances the impact of some of the dialogue.
2. Scope of changes
The project is being written and maintained by Jonaya Riley (@AltUniverseWash), a writer in the Homestuck fan community.
All instances of the R-slur as well as all uses of the word "autistic" have been altered to convey the same basic intent without using ableist slurs. In some cases, I saw an opportunity to enhance the original dialogue with wordplay or alternative phrasing that provides additional variety beyond simply spamming out a slur over and over.
### Scope of changes
I have attempted to remove ALL instances of these slurs, including at least one in Terezi's quirk. If you happen to notice any I missed, please DM me on Twitter!

@cronus_happytalk CRONUS: wvell vwell wvelvlw...
@meenah_annoyed MEENAH: ...
@cronus_huh CRONUS: GLO8ES.
@meenah_annoyed:#38? MEENAH: wha
@cronus_bored CRONUS: i sawv you vwalking my vway, and i had this smooth line all ready to go.
@cronus_angry CRONUS: but for some reason i decided to open it vwith a tongue tvwister?
@cronus_upset2:#W's-are-hard#theyre-hard-and-no-one-understands#(V's-too) CRONUS: vwery nice ampora, starting your killer line with three consecutivwe 'W' vwords in a rowv.
@meenah_idle MEENAH: what uh
@meenah_talk MEENAH: was your killer pickup line goin to be
@meenah_annoyed:#no MEENAH: or should i ask
@cronus_bored:#just-nevwer-EVWEN CRONUS: sigh, nevwer evwen MIND, its so ruined nowv.
@cronus_talk CRONUS: i just sawv you strutting in my direction, vwith all of your impressivwe moxy and confidence, for the first time in, howv long?
@cronus_bored CRONUS: and i got a little excited. i vwas going to blowv you out of the vwater vwith that line, but, i guess nothings changed?
@meenah_idle MEENAH: guess not
@meenah_happytalk MEENAH: sounds like youre still the bard of tries too hard
@cronus_angry CRONUS: oh, nice. you alvways knewv howv to tvwist the fork.
@cronus_angry:#utensilkind CRONUS: actually, all you girls are quite adept at tvwisting your respectivwe utensils.
@cronus_sad2 CRONUS: the guys too, now that i think about it. can i ask you a question? why do all you pretentious scenester types enjoy being so cruel to especially sensitivwe and artistic people?
@meenah_talk MEENAH: so i take it even after a billion sweeps here with a boat load of eligible spook shorties to mack on
@meenah_wink MEENAH: you still never got any action
@cronus_huh CRONUS: first you tvwist the fork, then you use it to pry into my personal life? thats really just so svwell of you, meenah.
@cronus_bored CRONUS: vwithout commenting specifically on that, (because seriously, VWHAT? so rude), i vwill say that it gets vwery frustrating after the first fewv epochs trying to make heads or tails vwhat people are evwen LOOKING for. i mean, in ANY quadrant.
@cronus_talk CRONUS: nowv, please don't tell anyone i said so, but you and i both knowv pretty much all these people should feel honored to go out vwith a guy like me.
@cronus_smug:#you-should-be-sticking-your-fork-in-THAT CRONUS: vwhat being royalty and all, and not evwen slightly put off by dating dowvn on the spectrum. i mean, really, howv much more evwident can i make it to evweryone that im really a cool, progressivwe, easy going dude, vwho doesnt take the social order seriously or buy into any of the stereotypes? first of all, as if the hemospectrum scene isnt 8EYOND played out.
@cronus_talk:#i-at-least-USED-to-listen-to-music-you-like#does-that-count? CRONUS: i barely EVWER evwen bring up my high social status. it couldnt be LESS of a big deal to me, but i think people maybe are still intimidated by it? theyre probably putting me on a pedestal, in spite of all my easy going assurances that my royal lineage is something i nevwer evwen think about. like, no friend, i am just like you. vwe laugh at the same jokes, listen to, vwell, to some extent, the same music...
@cronus_angry:#cats#kittens#freaks#rejects#broken CRONUS: all these cats and kittens, im telling you. theyre alvways drawvn to the freaks and rejects. you havwe to be 8ROKEN in some vway to get a little concupiscent attention.
@cronus_sad2:#sensitivwe#listens#poetry#music#there-for-them CRONUS: they nevwer seem to givwe the time of day to a guy vwhos sensitivwe, and listens to people, and sticks to his poetry and music, and i guess... just someone vwho tries to be there for them.
@cronus_happytalk CRONUS: hovwevwer, the bright side of my vwarious rejections is that is has helped me craft a privwate list of people vwho are objectivwely fucking terrible, vwhich id be happy to share vw...
@cronus_surprised CRONUS: meenah? vwhered you go?
@cronus_huh CRONUS: crud, she vwalked avway vwhile i vwas saying stuff.

@meenah_wut MEENAH: what space
@cronus_upset2:#grease-my-hair CRONUS: an aggressivwe space. ivwe been trying to cool it, be more introspectivwe, search my feelings, vwork on my music.
@cronus_upset2 CRONUS: i dont think id be much good in a fight. ivwe been trying to get in touch vwith vwho, or i guess vwhat, i really am, and i think ivwe been making some nice breakthroughs.
@cronus_upset CRONUS: im telling you this in confidence, but i think im approaching a kind of avwakening, especially since i first started learning about humans. i think i actually might be...

@cronus_talk:#by-vwhich-i-mean-twvo-people-vwho-freely-engage-in-sexual-intercourse CRONUS: forget i said anything. i vwouldnt vwant to compromise our friendship, not evwen to speak of the potential for us to devwelop into something more than just friends.

@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: what 1'm say1ng 1s, you got game... and 1 can d1g that... but 1 was never as brave as people always thought... 1 don't know why they always thought that about me. maybe 1t's my w1ngs or my mohawk... or when 1 shout bangarang somet1mes real loud? makes 1t seem l1ke 1'm the sh1t, w1th b1g self esteem... but my self esteem 1s noth1ng really to crow about... 1 dunno...
@meenah_talk MEENAH: alright so you never god tiered but i still dont get somefin
@meenah_wut MEENAH: didnt you have a totally fuckin stupid robot body at some point or did i just imagine that
@meenah_annoyedtalk:#maybe-i-got-the-ghost-madness#could-SWEAR-you-was-a-metal-horse-tho MEENAH: that whole period of time in our session was reel foggy to me i guess because i was dead for a while there
@rufioh_sad \nRUFIOH: yeaaah...
@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: no, the robot body was def1n1tely a th1ng... 1 k1nd of blocked that out of my memory too, haha... that was... that sh*t was someth1ng else, yo! crazy...
@rufioh_surprisetalk \nRUFIOH: 1'm sure you remember how all that started... back when damara and 1 were st1ll dat1ng... r1ng any bells?
@meenah_annoyed MEENAH: yeah
@meenah_annoyed MEENAH: fuckin megido
@meenah_annoyedtalk:#bull#lol#wait...#why-dont-you-ever-do-bull-puns?#FAIL MEENAH: do we really need to rehash that ancient bullshit drama
@rufioh_no \nRUFIOH: no, no... heh, just say1ng 1s all... 1t was that whole th1ng... anyway, that's when horuss was k1nd of mack1ng on me, remember... and 1 wasn't all about to vac1llate w1th h1m and her cause 1 knew how she was... d*mn, so jealous... so f***1ng crazy...
@rufioh_offendedtalk \nRUFIOH: so she made me a useless sack of parapleg1ac shit, remember?
@meenah_idle:#abaloneism MEENAH: tag that shit homie
@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: d*mn, yeah... 1 mean, she busted me up... couldn't move a muscle... well, could st1ll flap my w1ngs well enough, haha...
@rufioh_happytalk \nRUFIOH: really, 1 thought 1t would be alr1ght, just flapp1ng w1ngs around... 1 could st1ll fly and just hang there l1mp... m1ght have been a dope look!
@rufioh_happytalk:#l1ke-l1terally...#screwed-that-sh*t-together-T1GHT!#dude-1s-good \nRUFIOH: but nah... horuss thought better of 1t. bu1lt me the robo-bod, wh1ch was pretty t1ght...
@rufioh_sadtalk:#espec1ally-on-sta1rs...#}:( \nRUFIOH: lost my w1ngs though wh1ch sucked... and k1nd of awkward just hav1ng a real guy's head on top of a b1g metal body and mak1ng all those d*mn legs move the r1ght way, you know... trott1ng 1s hard work yo.
@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: better than be1ng a quadr1pleg1c... but 1 guess you d1dn't know what happened after that, s1nce you and damara were k1ll1ng each other and all...
@meenah_idle MEENAH: no what
@rufioh_sad \nRUFIOH: well... 1 d1ed. yeah... but...
@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: that's l1ke... wow, long story... guess you never heard... 1'll tell you some other t1me, 1t's th1s whole crazy th1ng. but...
@rufioh_talk:#hope-someone-pa1nted-that-sh*t...#1nstant-masterp1ece \nRUFIOH: 1 was dead, r1ght? and horuss k1ssed me back to l1fe... but just my head 1 th1nk... he was probably stand1ng on some mounta1n str1k1ng a pose l1ke a f***1ng gangsta, probably f1ght1ng a hoofbeast w1th a flam1ng mane and all...
@rufioh_happytalk \nRUFIOH: so yeah, next you saw me 1 had my normal body aga1n... 1t was cool of h1m to help me all the ways he has.
@rufioh_happytalk \nRUFIOH: and yeah, we went out, me and h1m... for a long t1me after that, k1nda off and on, even after we d1ed... 1n case you were gonna ask...
@meenah_annoyed MEENAH: i wasnt
@rufioh_laugh \nRUFIOH: r1ght... haha... too much 1nformat1on 1 guess? sorry doll.
@rufioh_talk \nRUFIOH: 1 always wanted to thank you for stand1ng up for me... you know, when she fucked me up... even though 1t cost ya... that was pure class, pe1xes, 1'll never forget 1t.
@meenah_talk MEENAH: man i wouldnt have had to if you could just stand up for yourself sometimes
@meenah_talk MEENAH: i mean being paralyzed notfishstanding
@rufioh_sad \nRUFIOH: heh... yeah... 1 guess...
@meenah_talk MEENAH: you are the only guy in our group who was ever even close to being pretty cool
@meenah_talk MEENAH: everyone else sucks but you were almost alright
@meenah_talk MEENAH: you were always such a pushover though
@meenah_annoyed:#TW#suck-it MEENAH: pretty lame bro
@kankri_talk4:#Als9,-when-walking,-6e-careful-n9t-t9-flaunt-the-health-9f-y9ur-legs. KANKRI: Excuse me. Meenah, "lame" is an a6leist slur, which in this c9ntext is REALLY inappr9priate. Tagging y9ur j9kes with "ir9nic" trigger warnings really d9es n9t excuse the 6ehavi9r. I'll thank y9u t9 refrain fr9m using such terms in the future.

@rufioh_surprisetalk \nRUFIOH: hey man. oh, heh... st1ll mak1ng that face 1 see...
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; Yes, I really enjoy making this face. It really helps remind me through persistent facial discomfort that appearing to be happy should always be one's top priority.
@horuss_oops HORUSS: 8=O &lt; Why? You don't find it displeasing, do you?
@rufioh_offendedtalk \nRUFIOH: um... no... 1t's uh... yeah, 1t's alr1ght horuss. the look 1s really, uh... someth1ng else. wow.
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; Really, I could stop making the face. Meenah recently ordered me to stop making it in her presence, and I of course instantly complied. I would just as readily do the same for someone as important to me as you.
@rufioh_sheepish:#except-for-maybe#po1nt1ng-1t-at-me-so-much... \nRUFIOH: err... haha. that's cool... but yeah, that's f1ne. really 1 can d1g the look, 1 guess. just do whatever you're feel1ng w1th 1t...
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; Rufioh, your affable malleability continues to be your finest quality. It is the jewel in your mohawk. A true diamond in the Ruf. You always were the ideal embodiment of your aspect, as pleasantly wayward and fickle as The Breeze itself.
@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: yeah... uh... thanks. 1 should probably try to work on that though...
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; Of course. We always strive to hone our craft, ever pounding at the iron to make the shoe a perfect shape. I know well how much work it takes.
@rufioh_surprisetalk \nRUFIOH: no, 1 d1dn't mean, l1ke... be MORE l1ke that... 1 mean... uh, sorry to 1nterrupt... go ahead?
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; My path was similarly governed by my aspect. For the longest time, I felt as if I was a blank sheet of paper. Like I had to make myself out of nothing.
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; And so I began to listen closely to the void within myself and corral the various personal attributes I herd calling to me.
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; Much like assembling a comple%25 machine, I began to piece together a STRONG identity, which of course included discovering a passion for mechani%25 itself.
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; And needless to say, what also galloped out of the void in my soul was the realization that I am obviously a noble hoofbeast, though my physical appearance cruelly betrays this fact.
@rufioh_surprisetalk \nRUFIOH: hey, uh... horuss... 1 th1nk...
@rufioh_sadtalk \nRUFIOH: we need to talk.
@rufioh_sad \nRUFIOH: 1 mean, when you get a m1nute...
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; And in following sweeps I would keep turning my mechanically augmented, acute equine ear back to the abyss within, and continue to discover more about myself. I would learn that I was more complicated than I ever imagined. More complicated than any mortal mind could understand a person to be.
@horuss_hmmtalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; Knowing myself to be hoofbeastkin was only grazing the surface of the pasture. Merely skimming the cream from the top of the milk. I was so much more.
@rufioh_sad \nRUFIOH: 1 th1nk maybe we should l1ke...
@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: uh... see other...
@horuss_hmmtalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; It turns out my body was merely the host to a highly intricate system of entities of any sort you could name, biological or mechanical, sentient or nonsentient, physical or metaphysical. My inner field of e%25perience is shared by the souls of ancient legendary musclebeasts, a range of devices such as hivehold appliances, a number of cosmological features such as planets, star systems, even several universes, and a variety of abstract concepts which sentient beings have not yet formed the language to e%25press.
@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: l1ke... don't get me wrong... we had some good t1mes together... 1t's been great really...
@rufioh_sad \nRUFIOH: but maybe 1t's t1me to uh... 1 dunno.
@horuss_crossed HORUSS: 8=D &lt; But as much as I learned about myself, I could never find a way to become whole.
@horuss_idle HORUSS: 8=D &lt; The void was never filled until you came along, Rufioh.
@rufioh_surprise \nRUFIOH: wow man. that's...
@rufioh_sadtalk \nRUFIOH: wow.
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; If there is any lesson I would like people to take from my story, it is a lesson that is a multiple system consisting of two distinct lessons.
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; The first is how love heals all wounds, even ones consisting of the infinite essence of void permeating your entire e%25istence and role as a legendary hero.
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; The second is how if you are faced with any crisis of identity whatsoever, it's really important to do your best to manufacture esoteric features of your personality and believe in them very STRONGLY and tell people about those things as frequently as possible.
@horuss_bashful HORUSS: 8=D &lt; I can assure you right now, the labor involved in smithing my personality into one that is interesting and complicated was rather intensive.
@horuss_sweat_bashful2 HORUSS: 8=D~~ &lt; I really worked up a good sweat in the process.
@horuss_sweat_bashful HORUSS: 8=D~~~~ &lt; (That is the sweat dripping from my face.)
@rufioh_no \nRUFIOH: hey... yo... that...
@rufioh_no \nRUFIOH: that's some freaky sh*t dog!
@horuss_smiletalk HORUSS: 8=D &lt; Anyway, I apologize for talking so much. You know how you have a way of drawing the breath out of people.
@horuss_idle HORUSS: 8=D &lt; What were you trying to tell me?
@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: oh... yeah.
@rufioh_sheepish \nRUFIOH: uh...
@rufioh_sad \nRUFIOH: never m1nd.
