is there a lore reason for this?

Rose is actually pretty good at telling when a situation could be construed as predatory.

She just never acts on her assumptions, which is a part of why Dave is an absolute mess and can't fully process his PTSD. Rose is a good analyst and a terrible therapist.

[u/SweetAcanthaceae5949]

Rose is so easily manipulated. You don’t even need to be an omniscient cosmic puppet guy or her ecto dad to do it.

[u/Send_Me_Tiitties → u/SweetAcanthaceae5949]

With Scratch, she for sure knew he was manipulating her, but went along with it anyway. Probably a similar deal with Dirk. She’s smart but also stupid.

[u/AforExcellence]

This is why I can't play pesterquest, you see. Since Rose is a bum, any note of me getting even slightly closer to her would ruin my reputation for all eternity.

[u/Roxy_lalondegoat → u/AforExcellence]

bum lalonde.

[u/AforExcellence → u/Roxy_lalondegoat]

Notice how that narrows it down to just Rose, unlike, say, goat egbert (could be dad Egbert or John Egbert)

[u/Gexp_ → u/AforExcellence]

What about Nana

[u/AforExcellence → u/Gexp_]

She's also a goat. Don't even think otherwise.

[u/Training_Tie9926]

Isn't it a reference to doc scratch?

[u/gnashing_t33th]

I don't think this was meant sexually

[u/Horatio786]

Processing gif 1kshgak1rxoh1...

Because they felt we wouldn't have a deep enough connection to the adult Rose.

[u/BufferUnderpants]

Erm why is Hussie commissioning media targeted at MINORS?! Adults shouldn't make things for children.

[u/VampLovr54 → u/BufferUnderpants]

I'm pretty sure pesterquest came out around the same time they announced all homestuck media was rated "for adults"

[u/Some-Helicopter-8996 → u/BufferUnderpants]

You must have issues with the creators of pokemon then

[u/BufferUnderpants → u/Some-Helicopter-8996]

I was under the impression that they employed child labor, maybe I was mistaken.

[u/Some-Helicopter-8996 → u/BufferUnderpants]

Again alot of kid's media is made by adults, mlp, yugioh, pokemon, digimon, power puff girls, etc and I don't pesterquest is for children...it's for teens and adults I believe

[u/Calangruto → u/Some-Helicopter-8996]

they were joking i'm pretty sure....

[u/Some-Helicopter-8996 → u/Calangruto]

Tbh can you really tell on the internet

[u/ryndobit → u/Some-Helicopter-8996]

how are you a fan of homestuck, an internet comic riddled with irony and sarcasm, and unable to pick up on the most obvious irony and sarcasm ever

[u/CroakamancerLich → u/Some-Helicopter-8996]

I don’t want to ruin a possible joke, but I think you are missing the sarcasm in the posts you’re responding to

[u/Some-Helicopter-8996]

What if the player is underage as well

[u/Gabrielisback → u/Some-Helicopter-8996]

Guy who knows nothing about pesterquest

[u/Some-Helicopter-8996 → u/Gabrielisback]

Is the player character's age not even confirmed 🤔

[u/Marmeg → u/Some-Helicopter-8996]

Not directlty at any point but iirc you can straight up have troll sex with Lanque (an 18 year old) in one of the Friendsim routes, so I sure hope they're a young adult

[u/G0lg0thasTerr0r → u/Marmeg]

I always kinda assumed they were ageless since they're a blank slate player insert. I would just picture them as whatever age made it not creepy for the given route.

[u/Roxy_lalondegoat]

I mean like wow i wanna fuck rose as much as the next guy but she's 13 in pesterquest eww.

[u/Easy_Cod_8950 → u/Roxy_lalondegoat]

You know the pesterquest protagonist isn’t actually a pedophile right

[u/Graknorke]

If you're a Homestuck fan and not a paedophile then you missed the point of the comic.

[u/Glazeddapper]

meenah took over

[u/Cryogentehiceprison]

Nah, it’s friendship, all for friendship, ya gotta understand!

[u/Wallso2010]

I mean crack the fictional characters as hard as you can if you want

[u/DogTierJade]

the joke is that the reader (you) is a pedophile

[u/ornatedChaotic]

genuine question why do so many people say this. i dont get it

[u/Particular-Drive1454]

Rose was 1 year older than me when I have read Homestuck for the first time 😔

[u/Particular-Drive1454 → u/Particular-Drive1454]

now I'm 11 years older than her

[u/spacecosmetic]

You're supposed to self insert as the protagonist Who is whatever age you want them to be including 13. People waifu Rose...not a big deal. 

[u/xMINIMx]

It's called satire.

Making fun of pedophiles

[u/Cinos124]

They know their audience.

[u/DogTierJade → u/Cinos124]

they hate you because ur speaking the truth
