Ayyyyyyy how's it going my wicked fanbase. We can all agree that I.B. is the dopest motherfucking shit that ever got stoked in the forge's of Sexfuck Mt., but I was wondering if there were any Homestuckies/Homestuckers/Homestucks/whatever on here too?
If by chance you don't have a tumblr or have never seen one of our less likable members faffing about in places where they're not wanted (which they often do), then you may not even know what Homestuck is!
Long story short, it's an incredibly interactive webcomic that features smart and silly humor ang gags, as well as a devoted and deeply complicated plotline that's like, impossible to follow on one read-through. Homestuck is almost the longest work in the English language, and it probably will be the longest upon the next update (we're currently in the midst of a GIGAPAUSE), and has the MOST dedicated fanbase, like, ever. Of all time. And I cannot recommend it enough. It is available 100% free on > mspaintadventures.com < but WILL absorb hours of your time.
But yeah, Hamsteaks (*homosucks) ? Anyone? uou
Thanks for the time! Ciao~

Homestuck is unnecessarily convoluted and pretentious. Also it's not to my tastes, so fuck it.
boyAnachronism
@TenaciousTuttle:
ACTUALLY. Homestuck is not a living entity, and doesn't have a personality.

Would an adbot do THIS?

@TheXRayFactor:
I would expect people who like My Little Pony would understand having the things they like being shat on by assholes, and try not to do it to others.

@boyAnachronism:
I can see a couple of defining flaws in your argument, the most obvious being considering every one here likes that pile of shit.
EDIT: That being said, you still didn't clarify your point.
LV_Wizard Lord_Haiku
@TenaciousTuttle: It's not unnecessarily convoluted at all, it's writing, and use of symbolism, rhetoric, and a dense plot have been compared to some of the best authors of our generation, and one of the largest stories since Ovid, and I won't defend the pretentiousness too closely, since Hussie's character is capable of providing deus machinas at many points in the story, but at least it's integral to the story, and modestly contained.
boyAnachronism
@TheXRayFactor:
I didn't say it was a pile of shit, I said people hate on it for absolutely no reason. And my point was that you shouldn't hate on other people's interests because it's not nice. I don't really want to argue about this though, so I'm done with that.
AwYeah @super_legit
I wish Mike would put in an option to see when people joined. I would love to see how many for these accounts were made just for this thread.

To be completely fair, from what I saw of Homestuck, it looked like one of those art projects that the scene kid in high school made. Like, it's just this overly complex mess of things that might have individual merit, but they gel very poorly and come off as this weird, anachronistic mess. When something as dense as Homestuck gets exposed to people who are unfamiliar with it, actually looking at it is almost impossible because of how much prior stuff you need to go through.
It's possible that that is not necessarily an accurate assessment, and I'm sure that the fans are just as normal as most other fandoms on the internet, but based on its exposure I have grown to hate it. Maybe that's just me.
boyAnachronism
@LV_Wizard: I didn't mean to imply that the confusing plot-line was a bad thing at all! It forces you to pay attention and possibly re-read (as I have) which makes it so much easier to discern key traits in the characters! I love it!
AwYeah @super_legit
annyanimous is also brand new, and very possibly xxschetrompf. Odd that all these new accounts are popping up in one thread.
boyAnachronism
@TenaciousTuttle: You are not alone friend, as a long time fan of the series, I can honestly say we're one of the most insane and annoying fandoms. Not all of us, but a LOT of us, because there are a lot of us. I don't think a lot of your assessments are very accurate, but I can excuse that because you haven't read it. I really like it, but it's certainly not for everyone. Thanks for being cool about it, yo. uwu
LV_Wizard Lord_Haiku
@TenaciousTuttle: Yeah, I get you, if I can do anything about it, I'll try to keep this thread from getting to and annoying for the rest of CHAT, I caught on to it before people started asking me if I liked it, and it just happens to be my preference, so I can see it not being for everyone, no hard feelings :)
TheXRayFactor Based Deak
@boyAnachronism:
Did I ever even remotely got close to imply you said something was a pile of shit? And, at what point, did I say I hate that whatever thing from tumblr you posted? And why shouldn't I be able to say something is bad even though someone likes it? Liking something warrants protection now?
Man, you should really work on your interpretation and arguing skills.
boyAnachronism
@AwYeah: I don't think you're making entirely baseless accusations to be honest... u_u; That being said, if somebody DID just make a new account to comment on here, that's a pretty shitty thing to do! I hope that's not what happened, because I'd be shitty for calling in the biblical flood that is the dark side of the fandom. If it get's too crazy in here, I'll delete the thread, don't worry.
boyAnachronism
@TheXRayFactor: Er... I can see the post where you said "every one here likes that pile of shit." Unless you were saying that YOU think it's a pile of shit? I don't know, maybe I'm confused. I'm not trying to argue with you, I just think if somebody likes something, you should just be happy for them and not try to argue with them because that's rude. I also don't know what tumblr thing you're talking about, either. u-u
boyAnachronism
@Redblood801: Haha, I've got some gosh darn AIRCRAFT CARRIERS. But that's a list for another thread, friend.
boyAnachronism
@LV_Wizard: Oh my god my face is so red right now. My bad, I'm new to this kind of stuff.
LV_Wizard Lord_Haiku
Yeah, Homestuck is pretty good, but I haven't read it since the end of the last act I think?
TheXRayFactor Based Deak
@boyAnachronism:
Oh, I get it now, you just have a case of the dumbs. Sorry for causing any trouble, I will try to avoid any posterior confrontation.
boyAnachronism
@LV_Wizard: Hey, no pressure. I can't stand the pressuring fans, uggggh. I feel like an elderly den mother trying to control a bunch of crazy children on meth when it comes to this fandom. >n<
AwYeah @super_legit
@boyAnachronism: If you wanted to start a thread about Homestruck, why not just start it "Hey, does anyone else like Homestruck?" and then maybe say a couple things about it. Add more ideas as the thread goes on. your first post reads like a press release.
boyAnachronism
@TheXRayFactor: Well thanks for that, then! I'm sorry for causing confusion with my absent-mindedness.
boyAnachronism
@AwYeah: I could have just started a thread that says "shout out to hamsteak". Draw in the fans of meat products too! But yeah, I'm a newbie, and this is my first thread, so thanks for the sage wisdom (no sarcasm intended). Do you think I should remove that whole middle bit, too?
Deleted User
Saw the first few things of Homestruck. Didn't spark my interest. I hate the style of it too, the way it looks.
ADashofRainbow
Homestuck is bad, I got to like act 4 and it still didn't interest me.
on a more important note though, this thread is like newfag city. Welcome everyone!

Isn't home stuck that gay ass ms paint 'I think I have more artistic ability than I do' shit? Man fuck that and fuck you for coming up and advertising in here.

This is exactly the kind of shit that happens when HS fans get out into the wild. HS is bloated, too many characters, too many gimmicks and a fanbase that doesn't realise when they're being made fun of by the author, the only good thing I have to say about HS fans is that the rabid morons are still better than the WtNV fans.
Xflasher
I don't get all the hate for homestuck fans. they aren't bad like people like to say. Might I remind you that this place is full of MLP fans which are hated just as [if not more] homestuck fans? People really need to learn to get along and just stop hating others for what they like :P
Redblood801 Chief Dingus
@Xflasher: It's not that we (not speaking for all of us) hate the people who like it. We hate the thing that they like.
Xflasher
@Redblood801: Oh really? And why should you hate a webcomic? What does homestuck do that makes so much people hate it?
Redblood801 Chief Dingus
@Xflasher: I can't speak for other people and perhaps hate is too strong a word, but I dislike it because I find it boring. I do, however appluade it for having such a large fandom, but it's a fandom I would not want to be apart of.
Xflasher
@Redblood801: you don't like the comic, that's fine. And why is it that "it's a fandom I would not want to be apart of"? What's wrong with the fandom?
Redblood801 Chief Dingus
@Xflasher: The same thing that's wrong with every fandom, the crazies. Not everyone is crazy, but every fandom has them.
M4xwell Insanitarium
Personally, the mates i know in this fandom (Homestuck) drove me partially away to 'like' the final product. The main factor was when i witness the 'final' product, and thought it was not enjoyable.
Redblood801 Chief Dingus
@Xflasher: By that logic, yes. By my logic, I just don't want to be associated with that particular genre of fandom.
Xflasher
@Redblood801: thats okay, the thing that pisses me off is when people discriminate others depending on what they like :P
Redblood801 Chief Dingus
@Xflasher: I'm not the kind of guy who discriminates people based on the stuff they like. I do discriminate against the people who are bat shit insane about it if you know what I mean.
TheXRayFactor Based Deak
@Xflasher:
"And why should you hate a webcomic?"
I honestly can't tell if this is supposed to be a "make love, not war" kind of thing or what.
Xflasher
@Redblood801: Yeah I know what you mean :C worst thing is that because of the insane ones, the entire fandom gets looked at badly :c
absolutezilch Hey Big Zam!
@Xflasher: I think because if there wasn't such a niche and such raging conflict, people would go around making really broad, generalised statements that no one would argue about like, "Hey fellas, isn't that CyanideANDHappiness just great? Yessiree."
Sorry for the edit. Ampersands cut posts off. :(
boyAnachronism
@Ascaryrobot: That's what we in the big words business like to call an "overgeneralization".
I think that's actually two words.
boyAnachronism
I'd like to make it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that this is not a mass conversion of non Homestucks to Homstucks. This is a thread for people to voice their opinions about it, if they dislike or even HATE the webcomic then LET THEM. I would like to request that everyone be respectful of other people's intrests, but that's clearly not going to happen for a lot of people, as this IS the internet.
boyAnachronism
@M4xwell: The gallons of tears I've shed over this very issue could provide rice crop for a thousand African villages.
M4xwell Insanitarium
@boyAnachronism: Although it is wishful, don't expect the best coming of out here. There are people who wish to stick to conduct, but most, i mean MOST, don't give a fuck.
Redblood801 Chief Dingus
@M4xwell: I probably sit on that fence thinking "How can I derail the thread without derailing the thread?"
annyanimous
@AwYeah: I'm not brand new thanks, I've had this account sitting here for a while, I just never commented in a thread before because I never found the need to do so~. So you can take your bullshit and shove it up your ass~~~ ;D
LV_Wizard Lord_Haiku
To be fair, not a lot can be discussed until Hussie releases more content, but I haven't sticking super closely to the fandom, so it could just be me, I'm just going to wait for more content to be released, and talk about other authors I like, maybe start a George R. R. Martin thread, or bump an old one...
boyAnachronism
@LV_Wizard: If you make a George RR Marin thread I will jump the fuck in. I LOVE that man.
deadshadow foking furry
i tired to read it it was boring also my girlfriend at the time and her friends would only talk about that i know it's different from other comics but it's not something i can get into
boyAnachronism
@deadshadow: It starts off pretty dead on plot, but it was silly and funny enough to hold my interest until the story really kicked off, but I understand how that wouldn't work on everyone.
deadshadow foking furry
@boyAnachronism: the fact it's so slow is what makes me never want to read it people say it get better but i don't wanna be bored and get to that
