In topic: "ironic detachment with homestuck enjoyment"

I've noticed this and it really drives me up the god damn wall.

The whole debacle around the Sarah Z video aside (I'm not really going to weigh in on any of that), I found myself rolling my eyes trying to watch it for the first time the other day because she just would not stop doing the whole 'woahhhh, it's so inscrutable, what is homestuck even ABOUT?!!?!'

Not even to single her out. It's a common sentiment online, about how the Homestuck fanbase is uniquely toxic or weird, or how the comic is uniquely cuhraaaazy.

I know some of it is tongue-in-cheek, but I think it gives people the wrong impression when trying to get into the series.
