Backlash
Roach's fanworks are notoriously dark and gripping, often explicit. They were very active in the Homestuck kinkmeme. Many of their works contained noncon, dubcon, and age difference. For this, they were often targeted by antis and accused of pedophilia, despite several blog posts or asks discussing their trauma with sexual violence.
Example Fanworks
- Hemostuck by roachpatrol and urbanAnchorite, a Bloodswap fic
- The Only Recipe For Revolution You'll Ever Need, a remix of The Only Recipe for Lasagna You'll Ever Need by urbanAnchorite
