Actually, as far as I can tell he's mocking overly sensitive activist blogger types obsessed with political correctness. I have yet to encounter this particular phenomena yet, but I have seen it mocked.
I don't care for Alt Pyrope (I forget her name). We've already got two "Coolkid" type characters to make jokes about, and she dosn't seem to have much character besides that.

Go talk to Meenah as Kankri. You'll get an option to be Meenah. Be her, then go talk to Karkat. Take him to the locked door, and you should be able to figure it out from there.

What do you do after talking to dave? It looks like there's an area to the left there, but I just hit a wall. Do I have to do something else?

Actually, yeah, that seems more likely. When he has his eyes closed he actually looks a lot like how I envision those people look while typing posts. :smallbiggrin:
I don't particularly care for any of the pyropes, but this one's "nasal impairment" was pretty funny (especially later, in Aranea's exposition where she says this one learns how to smell with her "eyes and ears"). Out of all of the Beforus characters, I think I like Porrim the best so far.

Re: MS Paint Adventures 6:12
Hmmm…

Too bad Kankri is a bit of a hypocrite. He first speaks on and on about how the high-bloods are filling up all discussion, and denying that there isn't any problem taking place in Beforan/Beforun society and how that leads to problems when you don't speak openly of such problems…
…and then when he talks to Porrim he denies that there is any gender problems in his society at all and casually shuts out Porrim and what she has to say in favor of "more serious problems".
furthermore, it is too bad that Kankri is basically a wannabe-messiah who spent too much time thinking and not enough doing. you can just tell that he had a lot of potential to be the leader that he wanted to be, but he wasted it on the little details and never got the job done.
I hope Karkat learns of what not to do from him….as well as pickup a few of his better tendencies….
don't have much opinion on the other Pretrolls. at least not the ones shown so far.

The crack is new, But Aranea at least has been learning about him for some
time. From there she probably just told everything she knew to anyone who'd listen.
Awesome flash, btw. I was especially impressed by how Hussie manages to continually create so many different personalities.

Re: MS Paint Adventures 6:12
Time doesn't really matter. remember, the bubble-ghosts are from all across time. they probably have their own sources of information about this, multiple ones, and they have been sitting there probably gathering information for millions of years. I wouldn't be surprised if they knew a thing or two about Lord English...

Huh... Digging around the MSPA wiki shows someone posted pictures of the Sprites for Mituna, Meulin, and Damara. Are those visible in the flash? Also, does anyone know if Sollux is in this flash? His planet is visible, but he isn't.
Also, an easter egg the wiki pointed out

You can give the bent horse hitcher to Hussie, and make him follow Meenah. If you take him to the end, then, you can find the Horse Calender hearts Boxcar got punched into

Kankri is definitely a jab at some parts of Tumblr culture, including the hypocrisy that's occasionally found there. He's also really kinda creepy in his interaction with Pyrope. :smalleek:
I like Porrim presenting a more balanced and pleasant tangent on the same theme - being an example through action and genuine concern rather than Kankri's poorly-censored rants. She's generally quite interesting, and seems to bring out something neat in alt-Pyrope's (can you tell I've forgotten her name?) otherwise somewhat flat character (though, I suppose, it makes sense for a facade to be flat).
Meenah is growing on me, though the "money-obsessed" thing was laid on a bit thick, her interactions with everyone are pleasant.
Does anyone know what happened to the Hussie in the castle at the start, after he jumps? I forgot to double back to the second Hussie, and I think the third one was just hiding in the chest with nothing more to it, but the first one intrigues me. Perhaps he'll appear again in the next update?

What's wrong with firefox? Also, you should apparently be using chrome instead. I switched to it myself partly because of the flash.

Re: MS Paint Adventures 6:12
I'm torn.

On the one hand, I don't read/play Homestuck to decipher semi-unreadable and barely-exaggerated Social Justice® rants.
On the other hand, words fail to describe how great that all is. More troll characterization! Hell, I even like Kankri. Well, post-scratch Kankri. That he managed to achieve something positive (or is it?) is even better knowing that he was anything but heroic in his previous incarnation.
So, in the end, I really enjoyed that update, even though I made a huge effort to at least pretend to pay attention to Kankri. Goddamnit, not only Hussie managed to make me read more hypocritical rants, but these ones were fictional, too!
*shakes fist* HUSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIE

No, I won't link it. Do your own searching.

Not entirely surprising, there's probably a porn blog for all of the characters. Yes, even the ones that are 12/13. Or something even creepier, for all I know. Certain people will obsess in the weirdest/most unsavory ways over some things.

Aren't all of the characters in that age range?

At this point, only the dead post-scratch trolls are in that age range. The original cast is 15 now, as are the surviving Alteranian trolls, the post-scratch humans are 16, and the Beforus trolls near twenty, assuming they entered around the same time their post-scratch counterparts did (Meenah disappearing suggests they might have been older, though)

Re: MS Paint Adventures 6:12
So, just for fun before the last of the Beforan trolls show up, I want to try and guess what their classes are going to be. Because hey, it's probably my last chance to guess someone's class.
Spoiling for length.
Spoiler

Okay, so this update confirmed Latula, Kankri, and Porrim's classes. So, I'm starting with people who seem obvious, and crossing things off as I work my way down to total unknowns.
Damara Megido: The wiki has her confirmed as Witch of Time. I don't recall this, but it would have been my guess anyway.
??? Nitram: The Summoner rode a massive, sudden rebellion, living a brief life that completely changed Alternian society. I'm guessing he's the Bard of Breath, if only because he seems like the only wildcard of the ancestors.
Meulin Leijon: Well, she can't be the rogue, because it's taken, and Prince is very male. If we stick to her "survivor and spread the word" story, it'll be Heir of Heart.
??? Zahhak: Won't be a rogue, we have a Rogue of Void. Could be the Prince of Void, a pure destroyer, or possibly the Mage. I'm going to guess Prince.
??? Makara: Sat around being in charge and not doing much. Mage is my guess, but I could have him and Zahhak backwards.
??? Amphora: Definitely rogue. It fits his piracy, his obsession with others, and also the way that Amphora people always seem to have weird role choices.
Mituna Captor: Leaves him as the Page of Doom, slowly gathering it over time as he became more and more powerful, until his own doom came.
Thoughts?

For the 69 quirk, you could just type it up in word, which has a nice little 'find-and-replace' function if you hit command-F.

Re: MS Paint Adventures 6:12
Okay, I got about partway through the flash and got to the first character switch, and the sheer combinatorial possibilities of having to talk to everyone as everyone that can be played with is a bit daunting. How 'long' is this game?

It's not that bad- once you switch characters that first time you only have to interact with the characters in that area. It won't let you leave that zone unless you're being Meenah. We don't actually know how long the whole thing will be yet- I think Hussie said there's supposed to be two more parts to it, and as far as I know we don't have any indication of how long each of those parts will be.
