starting this off:
Dirk? yes or no.
head: off
Did you know? Head/Off is the name of the second song on musician SebatiAn's third EP, Ross Ross Ross.
Haha, jokes aside, I don't want to say entirely irrelevant stuff on the thread, so here's my two cents on Dirk. He's overall a pretty well-written character, but I personally feel pretty neutral about him. Exception to the epilogues and HS^2, where I find his change in character to make sense, but also be pretty unexpected, and honestly? Pretty damn funny. He's just such a fucking loser, and pretends not to be, he's like Dave if Dave had no character development.

TL;DR: He's a much better villain than he is a hero and there is a lot more to his character than what is on the surface.
I agree but also hate it because I thought his entire character arc was self-reflection and attempting to overcome all the worst parts about him. Fully embracing the villain role seems like a complete 180 from where we left off with him in Homestuck. It's jarring, even if it IS entertaining, and like most things in Homestuck 2 it's not a horrible idea but I just think it wasn't executed as well as it could've been.
i feel like he has such potential to be a compelling hero! if they let him be a hero he would probably be my favorite character. there's something to be said for a character who fights to be a good person against all odds, it makes them incredibly human
that being said homestuck doesn't tend to like characters who are "good people"

Okay I thought this thread had updated a lot more recently than it had but fuck it I'll chime in: Homestuck obviously treats the deeply philosophical question of whether it's okay to create a copy of your consciousness and then delete that copy as a lot more nuanced than just "oh my god, Dirk almost killed a guy!!1" lol
