If it makes it even more insane it was to explain trans shit projected onto the character (I guess to explain davepeta shit or whatever I can't remember it's been a few days) but yeah it stuck out to me. as intensely wrong partly because the whole point with equius was he tried being super noble space racist high caste guy but then the second he was told "no stop" enough he would and in some cases he'd be a weirdo and get off to it.Literally what the hell. If anything Equius was """submissive""". He was the one with a sorta non-sexual-but-definitely-getting-off-on-it BDSM thing going on. He wanted to be ordered around by highbloods and was gratified by being murdered by a purpleblood. He was a fucking freak obsessed with power dynamics and it would be not even a leap, barely a step, to argue he was into dom/sub shit. It's basically stated outright in text. Fuck those people. Holy fucking sexism, man.
Normally media analysis and interpretation has a lot of wiggle room because interpretation can be a creative work in its own right but that take on Nepeta is just flat-out wrong.
I decided to look and see if I could find the post again but I couldn't because there's been a shitload of mentions since then somehow.
I did find this though I guess it's close-ish.

I don't remember equius ever being controlling and scary (aside from his fucked up interests and FREAKISH STRENGTH) And I don't remember talk anywhere about him actually having any control ever given he was the guy that got sweaty and bothered over being told to do literally anything.
This isn't the only one I've seen like this trying to find the other one either. Current year homestuck fans really dislike how the two of them are legally designated best friends I guess.
I found something closer to what I saw, but I'm not sure if it's the actual post because the poster says the ideas fucking stupid after explaining it. it's similar though.
EDIT: Found this bit of funny dialogue I forgot about posted earlier than all the other shit I saw.
