The best thing about homestuck is that for probably a couple of thousand pages now Hussie has been abundantly clear about how much he dislikes the fanbase, including adding fourteen characters who exist largely to symbolize their general failings as people (dancestors/cherubs). And they don't fucking get it! He even did a thing where he said all Trickster Mode characters (don't ask) were canonically Caucasian, which upset people who'd been circlejerking over ~how inclusive it was~ more or less just because he thought it would be funny.
Lots of terrible people in the fandom talk about how they can't read the comic anymore because it's so problematic now, and they don't disavow liking it, they somehow like it in spite of its creator. And it has that thing internet shutins gravitate to, where you can make an Original Character Donut Steel with a few palette swaps in a doll program and talk about how your fantroll is so special and wonderful and has the best blood colour and would be moirails with everyone and sparkle fucking sparkle, because you've found a shortcut to skip out on coming up with anything that could possibly be construed as a rounded character by a half-blind tortoise with no conception of the idea of a Mary Sue, and then you can go to a convention or whatthefuckever and sexually assault strangers and get that fucking grey Ben Nye body paint all over everything and it's all cool, it's all fine, your internet hugbox justifies your terrible fucking opinions. Homestuck's fandom is the fucking worst, and I say this fully knowing I'm posting in the thread for the brony episode.
(And then there's the weird appropriation of gnostic mysticism and the actual earnest wannabe juggalos and the fucking assholes who misappropriate genuine activist terminology to explain why none of the characters could possibly be non-white and through it all, there's actually some really neat fan stuff out there too, and sometimes it's almost worth it. It isn't, though, not really.)
