I think people just developed a parasocial hate for the creator of the comic they like. and get mad when the creator tries to interact with the very thing they created. I still have't read the full article (its just so long my brain kinda just glazed over (im going to try to read it again)) but I've seen the Sarah Z video a long time ago and I know Hussie has a precedent for threatening lawsuits. And doing that over a youtube video is a dick move. But I think acting like Hussie is the spawn of Satan is too far. The Homestuck website is literally being worked on, they aren't killing homestuck. People are just too parasocial imo. Also I'm not trying to be a defender and I encourage ppl to take my comment with a grain of salt. Also I did just wake up so another grain of salt for my statement.

Also i feel like this user did a really good analysis on the mob mentality that occurred [https://www.fruityrumpus.com/forums/reply/68976c90eb0e1f3bca2db4c3]

I just wish people could be neutral and wait patiently. That's what I'm doing (Or at least trying to.)
