I just got my wife caught up with homestuck too, it's good that more people are getting into it. This kind of thing happens like, all the time. We've kept going through worse. The best thing you can do is just surround yourself with people who aren't weirdly reactionary about the comic, and preferably even people who have actually read the text. It's nice that this forum seems to be so... nice like that. In any case, not as many people seem to be buying into this "controversy" as previous ones. Keep having fun, and ignore the negative people.
