The hyenas are asking me to get in the enclosure with them and I'm like no, that's not how zoos work, I'm happy just watching from over here thanks
(like we're not also in the zoo. The fact that we even recognize the word "Homestuck" puts in in the top percentage of Extremely Online Middle Aged People. We're the penguins in the next enclosure over)

Anything plus internet equals controversy so thick and gnarly it requires an hour-long conversation to explain to a normal person

Name literally any object no matter how innocuous and there's internet drama about it

Hell I bet I could come up here and say "Anybody heard about the thimble collectors' forum drama" and a couple folk would get the thousand-yard seen-too-much stare

Dude. The community has gone through a DECADE of harassment, abuse, gaslighting and manipulation, and you call that "drama" like it's some petty trivial thing, and not dozens of lives ruined? Fuck you. I never figured you were a johnnythimbles84 minimizer but it just shows you never can tell, you've more than earned your place on my shitlist
@ifixcoinops@retro.social ah yes, the haberdashersβ hellthread. a dark time.

I have never read Homestuck and quite frankly every time I see the name I think of Homestar Runner which I have been meaning to look at for a while but the whole Flash thing put me off and now it's Complicated.
@ifixcoinops@retro.social My continued ignorance of what homestuck actually is has reached the level of finely-crafted bit.
No really, it's been called the greatest work of fiction of the 21st century, but it's a webcomic so hardly anybody knows about it
But of those that do, none of them will ever believe that hardly anybody knows about it
@ifixcoinops@retro.social it's an undertale, right?
