so apparently the use of the word juju in homestuck might be mildly racist or derogatory considering the fact the word was used by white settlers in west africa to describe the traditional religions or practices there then traveling to the Americas via the slave trade. what do you think of this?

Well, it can also refer to the vibe- ‘Good juju’ and ‘Bad juju’, which could’ve spawned the use of the term. That being said, I am not exactly an expert in the subject, so I wouldn’t be able to say?
