This is like that episode of Transformers G1 where touching someone turns them super angry and they start attacking people except instead you're a trickster and spread joy and creepiness and have four hundred babies.
Part of me was kind of hoping all the kids went trickster so, kind of hoping this is the case. Though Jake just plain falling off of a cliff is fine too.

What has Jane done since turning Caucasian? Let’s see, she’s danced poorly, cheated her way to win her quest with invasive species and by killing everything native, then invaded another land, nutshot a guy of a different race off a cliff when he refused her advances, and on top of everything, whitewashed him to be Caucasian too!
I don’t know what those Social Justice Warriors are talking about, Jane is the perfect portrayal of what white people are like.
i suspect that by labelling the characters 'aracial' he thought he was enabling fans to decide for themselves. Race is entirely irrelevant to the story he wants to tell, so i doubt he gave it much thought, and inadvertantly he let some bias slip through. This wouldn't have become an issue if he'd either consciously written the characters as race-neutral from the start, or had simply acknowledged his mistakes instead of going on the defensive.
Also, some of the people on tumblr are being massive assholes about this, e.g. branding anyone who was offended an 'sjw', drawing Jane in blackface, etc. I enjoyed the joke in the comic itself, but i think Andrew inadvertantly gave the impression of validating these idiots.
With all that said, some of the things that get said about Andrew strike me as really unfair and completely unfounded. Admittedly i have just about every privilege he's accused of not checking, but, well, i think it's pretty groundless, and obnoxious, the way some people are declaring him to be racist, ableist, fatphobic, etc. i took this joke to be aimed squarely in that direction. i really don't think it's meant as an attack on the fans whose headcanon held Jane to be an ethnicity other than white, or anything of that kind. And i find the suggestion that recent updates somehow confirm Hussie as racist really bizarre.
RE: Headcannons and race and stuff: I ended up assuming that all the kids were white because that is how their guardians seemed, if that makes any sense. like for a while i thought that jade was asian, but then after seeing her grandpa i kinda thought otherwise.
and continuing to monopolize this thread: am I the only one that gets bad vibes from Calliope?
She's definitely hiding something, but I think it's more 'I find this shameful, so I'll hide it' than 'I'll hide this because it's vital to my secret plans'.

A thought occurs to me that if Dave had been in the void season, the kids probably wouldn't have had the same issues with resource constraint that they did.
It makes perfect sense. Jake simply cannot handle that level of bad puns.
I'm really glad that this happened. I mean, I expected Hussie to change it at some point, but I like the way in which he changed it and the way in which he justified the change.
And now that bad taste that's been in my mouth since yesterday can go somewhere else.

Considering she was using the Pantone swatches from Photoshop to set her skin tone, I'm going with this myself.
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
maybe you can download the file and use a flash decompiler on it or something? that's how the Homestar Runner fandom found secrets

That sure is a thing.
Jake's response now makes even less sense...

On reading it, i support his decision to change it.
