Dirk Strider is a character from Homestuck. He is the post-scratch version and paradox clone of Bro Strider.
Canon
He's genetically identical to Dave's Bro. His own Bro is genetically identical to Dave.
He hates himself, and splinters of himself, particularly the Auto-Responder (eventually named Lil Hal), a copy of his 13-year-old brain imbued with sophisticated artificial intelligence.
Bro Strider

Fandom
He's usually portrayed as being very chill in fanfiction (though some portray him as endlessly controlling).
A good Dirk fic is mind-bending, pretentious, hilarious, incredibly deep, and of course ironic.
Shipping
Popular ships for Dirk include Dirk/Jake, Dirk/Dave, and Dirk/John, and Dirk/Roxy.
Sexuality
Any attempt to ship him with female characters will often stir arguments, due to his primary interest in male characters[1][2]. Though Roxy calls him gay, lamenting his lack of romantic interest in her, he has explicitly rejected the label[3].
