    Ok so I am curious to know /cgl/s opionion on homestuck and it's fans.
    started reading the comic and it's so-so, but the fans seem a tad obsessed and crazy...

    So tell me what you think of it?

    I'm calling troll on this, and I don't mean the gray skinned variety, because everyone knows cgl hates Homestuck fans.
    Everyone knows that despite Homestuck being enjoyable the numerous crazy fans amongst the normal ones ruin any chance at a decent fandom.

    > tearing apart Homestuck fandom in NCN thread
    >see this right below it
    >really?

    If you like it good, if you don't that's cool too, fandom has good people but the bad gets way more attention thus HS is not shown in a good light on /cgl/ and tumblr. Shipping/ RP arguments, hate on HS blogs, and crazy antics fill this fandom (as well as other fandoms too) but HS gets the most of it.

    Homestuck: Enjoyable, interesting webcomic. It doesn't bug me one bit if other people dislike it, though; to each their own.

    Homestuck fans: They vary. The few that I know personally are quite lovely, but I've seen many that are unsavory.

    Homestuck Fandom: I can't tell if it has a very vocal (batshit insane) minority, or if the majority of the fandom is really that bad. Either way, I disapprove, in general, and I stay the fuck away from it. I'm sure there are nice, sane people in it, but I don't care enough to stick around and find out.

    That about sums it up.

    Homestuck cosplay is fucking shit because everyone does the trolls, rather than the decent characters (like The Felt, Midnight Crew, or heck, even the kids, who have much more interesting costumes)

    Yeah, it took me 5 tries to get through act one due to extreme boredom, but after that I really started to enjoy it. As for the fans, this year at AX a friend and I went to the homestuck gathering. There was singing and glomping and rp-ing and people that were way too into character (there was a very fat female karkat that was SCREAMING at everyone and acting like she was the boss of everthing). There was also a doc scratch (?) who was very annoying. I ran away and hid, but my friend waited it out a bit longer, but she soon did the same thing I did.

    I don't interact with the fandom anymore.

    fans/fandom are generally horrifying. the comic's gone on way too long. it's been terrible since act 4 ended. especially because he spent acts 1-4 building up action for a huge conclusion, and just dropped everything for act 5. really killed it for me.

    oh well. ill just stick to problem sleuth, which is still consistently great every reread.

    yep. 700 pages to introduce a few characters with cut and paste personalities wasnt needed. he could have easily done it in 200 or less. he should have also kept it going concurrently with the kid's story. i mean, that whole thing about rose screwing the world and going around to fuck up as much as she can was a great start, and i would have liked to see that play out without having to wait out 700 pages of troll romance

    It's a very good webcomic, good story and music and animation.

    The fans? Way too fanatic over how good it is, better than anything that ever existed, etc. Then there are fans that make really fun things like http://sweetartsandhellacrafts.tumblr.com/ and just have fun with the whole thing.

    Lots of really bad cosplayers, then again there are lots of REALLY good ones.

    I'd suggest reading it, just because it's worthwhile to read.

    I'm affiliated with the Homestuck world [sad to say] and just like any fandom there are good people then there are the crazy shits who take things too literal to the point that they want to psychologically make this make believe world their own.

    A lot of the fans I met when I was doing Artist Alley were kind of weird and very very eccentric to the point where I was afraid to say I hadn't even made it past act one. I was selling Homestuck goods because it was at a height of popularity and in the business world, that's usually the best time to get on the bandwagon and make things people will gobble up.

    Some of the fans though, were really sweet and nice. If they're like that all the time, who knows. Point is, yes, homestuck fandom is really shitty because of all the damn teens who explode cause YOU HATE MY PAIRING, YOU HATE THIS COMIC HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF but then there are those who are oh- don't like Homestuck? That's cool, everyone has their own opinion. Like with most things, the bad will always amplify any good and all the bad will be more memorable than good since sometimes it's more explosive.

    PS: Act I-2 are really really slow paced and boring. I still haven't read the entire series.

    PPS: I like Hetalia and Homestuck but usually only through the amazing fanartists and the sane people I've met through it. I said it. May I burn for it. I wish we could just all get along.

    I think my dislike of it is sorta irrational. The main reason I don't like it is because all the people I really hate are fucking obsessed with it to the point of being a circlejerk over it. Since they like it, I don't because I figure that if it appeals to annoying newfaggy trolls then it can't really be good.

    Yeah, I admit it's stupid. By that logic, I should hate wearing pants. Just can't get around that though

    I actually started reading it a couple days ago, to see what all the fuss is about. I'm only on chapter 2, but I'm really enjoying it so far. I love the text based adventure motif (used to play those back in the day), the lol pop culture references, and little flash sequences and minigames.

    This webcomic is obviously suffering from FF7itis, which is to say, it, like several other fandoms I probably don't have to mention, is itself fairly decent and enjoyable, but just happens to be afflicted with a legion of embarrassingly retarded fans. I'll read it and enjoy it, but I sure as shit won't be rushing to the nearest con meetup.

    My few experiences with HS has mostly been with people who come into my work looking for cosplay makeup. They're generally enthusiastic, but polite, and while they do mention that they think I should check it out, that's not all that unusual. (I've had customers recommend everything from obscure anime to the Barber of Seville.)
    Then I went to Anime Central and made the mistake of asking someone what their costume was from, as my roommates and I noticed quite a few similar but had trouble placing it. Cue eyerolling, "it's Homestuck, duh. How do you not know that? Get with the program."

    Homosucker anon who wants to apologize for the bad eggs in our fandom. The older fans who've been reading from early last year and before are usually the safest to talk to. The newer ones talk a big game but don't know shit about PS, and frequently skip the intermissions etc.
    The fandom itself usually handles bullshit on its own. Like the Terezi cosplayer who liked a girl in front of her gf and the faggots who starred in that bucket video. I garrentee most of us are sane, a bit excitable but the crazy ones are mostly younger Hetalia fans who didn't read the comic and saw "oh hey Zodiac personification and it's popular?" even though that's not what it is.

    Personally I enjoy the comic mostly for the music and the artwork now. The Ancestors artwork especially.

    Same here. I think the comic is extremely impressive from a creative standpoint even if it does have some serious pacing problems like the Troll arc (but then I'm a sucker for any sort of romance so I didn't mind).

    I've never had any problems at conventions with the fans, though when I went to a Homestuck General thread on /co/ I felt like I walked in on some kind of cult that spoke in tongues.

    The comic has jumped the shark, but the music is good

    The fandom is full of underage idiots who, despite spending copious amounts of time on the internet, are too fucking dense to find one of the numerous resources for their shitty, assburger's-driven cosplays. The fandom is circlejerky and self-righteous. If they aren't acting like a bunch of fucking children and squealing over grey dongs, then they're admonishing them in an attempt to sound cool and mature when they are, in fact, still being fixated on a fucking comic that attracts autists and is about 13-year-old kids playing a game. The collective sense of humor of the fandom is based on unfunny fucking memes and tired jokes that have been outdated for years now mostly because they've been driven into the ground and mercilessly pulverized. They are hypersexual and obsessed with petty and disgustingly idealized relationships between fictional fucking characters because they are either too young or too socially inept to actually engage in sexual activity. Most fancy themselves artists. They are not, and their clumsily-drawn abominations make any professional or hobbyist weep due to their sheer lack of skill and overblown egos fostered by acclaim from their fellow fans, who, like them, probably couldn't tell the difference between an actual human torso and a rancid slab of mutton.

    They are everything terrible about the internet generation rolled up into one horrifying, hambeast of a behemoth dripping with sloppily-applied grey makeup wearing a gaudy pair of orange horns positively dripping with the metaphorical, diseased bodily fluids. They are disgusting and I hate them as a whole. Even you. Especially you. Fuck you.

    I personally loathe it; not just from it taking over conventions, and from the horror stories I've heard of the fanbase, but also because my sister had a socially-awkward friend who would just not shut up about the stupid thing even though nobody wanted to hear his ramblings about it. So that rubbed off on me and contributed to why I hate the thing.

    In my head its all clumped together in the "things that happen at cons I dislike" category. But then again, I think most everything is in that category.

    Hmn. I personally like homestuck, I think of headcanons with friends (don't post them to headcanon blogs because those are just full of annoying idiots who get pissed when you disagree with their pairings) and chat about it,draw fanart, but that's it.
    I never do anything that involves a lot of people because i am REALLY intimidated by the fandom, it's a very self righteous fandom, with way too much tumblr drama. I honestly think art wise it's very talented? With great music also, but yea it's totally spoiled by the pissy little idiots who get crazy if you don't like homestuck or a certain pairing and jump down your throat for sharing an idea.
    Although I say that, last con I went to , went to the homestuck meet, I felt so accepted! I know my cosplay wasn't too great but everyone was nice!

    I enjoy Homestuck, and I have a few friends who are also into it, and we have fun together with our casual conversations about it.

    However, a lot of the Homestuck fandom I've seen is a little... off. The mylifeismspa blog at tumblr basically highlights a lot of what I don't like about the fandom.

    >went to the homestuck meet, I felt so accepted!

    I went to the gathering at Fanime, and it was probably the best experience of my whole con. I met so many great people, made some very silly memories and overall felt like I was part of some giant family. That's not to say I haven't run into awkward people. I've had to peel off a Terezi from my body once, but she got the message after I told her I was being serious and to not invade my personal space again.
    I must be lucky or just oblivious, because I have never run into these terrible Homestuck fans in person, but it sucks to know that these people are giving us all such a bad name and that a large percentage of the community hates us. I don't want to go to a con dressed as a troll and have people immediately think I'm one of "those" people, because we're not all like that, I swear. Jesus fuck, I just want to draw and cosplay from a series that isn't infested with crazy people for once.

    I find a lot of the time that many people who "hate homestuck" actually haven't read past act 2 because of the "walls of text" which is understandable, especially on a cosplay thread because most people here typically watch more anime than they would read a novel.
    If you take the time to read homestuck as something more than what the fandom is, you will probably hate it a little less.
    Personally, I love it. I've grown up reading a shit load of books/literature and Hussie is really impressive at plot writing, humor and foreshadowing. The characterization isn't perfect but for me homestuck is more about plot than anything else but I digress.
    The fandom, as with any community, has a variety of personalities. I'm lucky, where I'm from (not the US) congoers tend to be well behaved and friendly so when I cosplayed as Dave, I met some pretty great people. It all depends, really on who you hang out with.

    I love the comic, rereading it from the start right now infact. It's also one of the few comics that has actually made me cry, multiple times even.

    The fandom however scares the crap out of me. I once went to mspachan, saw all the porn and promptly closed the tab, never to return.

    Last AWA was my first face-to-face encounter with other Homestuck fans. There was a mini-stampede as soon as I walked in the convention center, but other than that they kept to themselves. A few asked me to take group pictures and they were really polite about it.

    So basically like every other fandom for something that blows up in popularity. Lots of online shitheads that make it to cons for the occasional horror story, some cool people.

    I love homestuck drama. Saw shit going down between shippers and it was....kind of terrifying.

    I really hope people don't automatically assume I'm one of the batshit obsessive fans.

    I've also put quite a lot of effort into the cosplay and feel somewhat proud of it.

    I like Homestuck, and I've met people who are really chill.
    I'm so glad I don't meet the general retards I keep reading about.

    It was threads like these that got me wandering what this whole homestuck shit was about. So I went to "quickly" check the summary on TVtropes, lost another year of my life through wikiwalking and then gave it a go.

    I fucking love it. I ain't a shipper or anything, nor would I participate in fandom activities, but I think it's great and maybe one day I'll use it for cosplay.

    So... Thanks /cgl/ for the hate threads!

    It never clicked for me. I tried to read it and it didn't make any sense, so I stopped.

    What I want to know is how they've become rivals with the Hetalia fandom. Dunno how I missed this since I've been in the APH fandom since early 2008 and watched it become the most hated series to see at a con ever. But how the hell does Homestuck have anything to do with them?

    I didn't read a lot of it but there aren't any countries involved in Homestuck, right? Why the drama between two polar opposite fandoms? I mean they both have the small, loud minority of fans that ruin the fandom and drive people away, but other than that, what's the connection? Why the drama?

    because fat teens do not obey the laws of social physics

    hormones and sallow intellectualism create a plasma-like blob of fandom whose super-conductive core discharges hate and opinions in a chaotic, Brownian manner. it is inevitable when two such entities meet they are either repelled by magnetize stink waves or fuse into one hirsute amoeboid cloud.

    in short, idk.

    Both are webcomics that one might call viral in popularity. A lot of fans migrated from Hetalia to Homestuck, while in a lot of ways the Homestuck fandom seems to have a lot in common and be just as bad as Hetalia's, but with a superiority complex included ontop of it. it's strange because I've never actually seen any rivalry personally, just arguments over the existence of said rivalry.

    All of the batshit fans are leaving Hetalia for Homestuck now. This is a good thing. Let them leave our fandom in peace and shit on something else.

    As for the drama, idk. I consider myself pretty active on Tumblr and I see it all the time. No idea what the origins were.
