@timeisrestored people took that away because, guess what, it's the narrative spread by, guess who, the people with power and presence in, guess where, places like the subreddit or the Discord server (and obviously that ends up echoing in other spaces.)

I mostly lurk in the Discord server but from my experience it seems like a pretty divided place depending on the channels. Still, I don't like the circlejerk they have there (you know the channel I'm talking about) because their opinions are what inevitably get shared around all the spaces they're associated with, and the regular Homestuck fan today has no sense of critical thinking so they'll just roll with whatever the majority seems to agree with (see: all the people asking for a summary [read: opinion] on the UHC drama.)
