Yes, very much so. As someone who has followed Homestuck since it's first year, it's been a trip to see just how wild this Fandom has changed. I'm frankly both excited and scared at the prospect of the New-Gen fans. On one hand, you have new perspectives on things maybe we haven't looked at before because we were so far IN at the time. But on the other... So much of this Fandom has historically resolved around those who "troll" but the negativity and toxicity I've been seeing is just... I can't describe it in words, it's like that Vine where the kid says "My Disappointment is Immeasurable and My Day is Ruined" but with all of the same cringe context and raw emotion. I hope things straighten out soon, and everyone is doing such a good job on their respective sides of things. James Roach, if you aren't secretly Toby Fox (Note first name Human and then last name Creature), I hope you are doing okay! I doubt any of them will see this, but it's a fun Head Canon to throw in to break the tension hahahaha hOnK ):0)

The Real Homestuck?

That's the friends we made along the way!
