If it makes you feel any better, I've noticed many people in the reddit at least have decided to push back against the insane angry mob that believes they were personally wronged in a situation that has nothing to do with them lol. I think it's just best to avoid whole echochambers like reddit when it comes to fandom, because if you went over there you'd think the worst had happened T_T We have no official statement from Homestuck if we ever will get one.
People will either stew in their anger or they can just move on with their lives and forget about it.
