# HomestuckSlurReplacement
The Homestuck Slur Replacement Project
By Jonaya Riley (@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.
The project is being written and maintained by Jonaya Riley (@AltUniverseWash), a writer in the Homestuck fan community.
2. Scope of changes
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.
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!
3. Installation instructions
The files being replaced are located in your asset directory in the following sub-locations:
\archives\data\mspa.json
\archives\data\search.json
Back this file up if you want to return to the original text for whatever reason.
You can either manually extract the file or extract the ZIP file into your base asset directory. No other changes are required.
4. Additional notes
Please feel free to drop me a line on Twitter (@AltUniverseWash) if you like this or want to suggest additional changes.
If you feel the need to tell me that this is a bad project idea, please don't.
