Homestuck is good!!
parts of it havent aged well, there is a lot of challenging and uncomfortable things you must face, but theres a lot of heart (heh) and moments that will make you laugh and cry. It's worth it. It truly pushed what it meant to be a Web comic. It is a collaboration in many ways that people don't ever really talk about, from the early on reader-inputs, to how Gamzee is named after a prolific RPer on the old forums, to all the art and music contributed by so many people. And that inspired so many others to go on and create their own great things as well. Its full of good memories and bad ones, forged-in-fire friendships and ones that faded away. Theres many things I wish were different but I love it all the same anyway.
The dramatic and mostly performative hate people, both former and current fans, express has always ALWAYS rubbed me the wrong way. I'll admit I've snapped at ppl irl over this even (in my defense its because people assume I also Hate Homestuck if I so much make even a tiny peep about it). Its one thing to just not enjoy a work. homestuck is extremely not for everyone. its another thing entirely to act like its something you need to denounce every other breath just because you enjoy a fanventure or still rp fantrolls.
