I don't know if that was the intent but that remark came off incredibly harsh. I don't think I *have* to work to enjoy Homestuck, I didn't have to work to enjoy it before, I just enjoyed it.

My responses of x y and z are because when I read the ways people find that joy, I have to express what part of my brain comes into the fore and prevents me from agreeing. I'm looking for a logic that can't be "countered" by my own brain. I want a perspective or advice that I cannot find fault in.

And I have found some in this very thread; please don't accuse me of wasting people's time. Nobody here is forced to engage with this thread. :(
