I've been seeing quite a lot of works being deemed "not suited for VSBW" due to copyrighted material, I'm a bit confused as to why Homestuck is allowed but those other verses aren't allowed as Homestuck steals plenty of copyrighted material from other works.
I decided to compile a list of some of the unofficial copyrighted material that Homestuck uses:
One of the Playable flash games literally just steals the sprites of the EarthBound party members
John's shirt literally contains Slimer from Ghostbusters and later on they play a Ghostbusters videogame
Poster of Con-Air can be seen within the first few pages, also the bunny from Con-Air appears and is later turned into a robot that plays a major role in the plot later on
An Iron-Man suit appears that Jade combines with other items
A ton of songs are referenced in other tracks or directly appear in Homestuck itself (scroll down to the bottom where it lists "Tracks originating outside of Homestuck"
I know there's a ton of other examples I can't think of at the moment but hopefully this gets the point across that Homestuck steals from a TON of other works, at the very least I think Liv Tyler should be removed from the Vs Battles Wiki due to it literally just being a robotic version of what the comic states to have been the exact same bunny as the one from Con-Air
