Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't much(at all) follow reddit, but now I'm starting to wonder how many people I know do, because WOOOOAH.

Is it even a thing you follow? I'm pretty sure it's kinda like an image-board with a like system.

Not to mention I ******** hate it.

Personally, 60% of the reason that I hate it is the fanbase. They're on par with or worse than MLP's or Valve's. I'm not implying anything about you or Kegan, but a lot of the fans obsess over Homestuck in a REALLY unhealthy manner.

The other 40% is that I think it's a bad and badly told story. Andrew Hussie does not know when to stop typing; he doesn't know how to tell his story in a concise manner. It's like CAD, only Tim Buckley tried to tell a story instead of a joke. When you combine that with the fact that the story barely makes sense anyway, it comes across to most people as a convoluted mess; something I would compare to the MGS series, or Kingdom Hearts. I think people are more into the characters than the actual story.

Normally when I think something like this is bad, I just keep it to myself pretty competently. But when you combine that with a fanbase that constantly shoves it in your face, I think it's very easy to see why people come to openly loathe it. I was once made to read the majority of the series; I know what I'm talking about when I say I don't like it and that it's a confusing mess. I'd obviously be lying if I said the whole thing was without parts that I liked, but they were few and far between, considering I spent about five days of my life reading the entire thing.

I like the artwork and some of the music, though.

I'd say that's a fair assessment, mostly. Homestuck's story moves slowly, and while I think it is interesting by its own merits, the well-done characters are what carries it through otherwise boring parts.

Homestuck is wordy, and long. Dear god.
It should be in the dictionary under "inaccessible."
It's word count surpasses War and Peace, it has over 7000 panels, and includes over an hour total of flash animations.
There's a "New Reader?" page on MSPA, but what it should really say is "Go ******** yourself."

The story can be really confusing too, I would agree. But it's on purpose, usually to comedic effect. I'm not sure when you stopped reading Wayne, but a lot of plot points weren't explained at all until far into the story. There's a lot of memorization, too. There's like 30 main characters. Wrapping your head around it is tough.

Overall, while I wouldn't say I'm fanatic about MSPA, I would call myself a fan.

OUCH. MY ASPERGERS. a** BURGERS.

I kinda hate how Being a fan of something instantly associates you with the people who are fanatic about it.

My steam name isn't "Tollname Eggbert" and I don't make those fan troll original characters (see: blawnic)

It kinda makes me feel bad about ragging on the people who talk about my little pony in TF2 matches. Oh wait, they have names like "Sparkledash Sunshimmer" (Is that a real "pony"?)

JUSTIFIED.

wayne has seen things.

It's like a crazy fan vortex. A girl at my highschool was wearing a Homestuck shirt, and when we asked her about it she knew the character who wore it but hadn't actually read the comic.
