The Homestuck Bechdel Analysis

Before we begin this post, I feel it prudent to make a confession. It's probably not even a confession, since it's likely that everyone knows it already-- more like an admission of guilt regarding a crime of which I have already been accused, or at least suspected. There is... a web comic. No! Not a web comic, exactly, or at least, not only a web comic. There is a long, multi-arc narrative spanning a wide range of different styles of expression, including traditional web comics, interactive puzzle-solving games, gorgeous animation scored by a multitude of experimental musicians, long-winded chat logs delving into the nature of causality, and equally long-winded chat logs probing the nature of alien reproductive biology. There is a thing called Homestuck, and it is a silly thing that I love dearly.
