Right since I’ve spotted this weirdo, I assume Homestuck is still somehow a thing?
If so can someone adequately explain to me what the fuck it was all about. I’m still at a loss as to what it actually is.
OH HEY, A QUESTION I CAN ACTUALLY ANSWER!
Homestuck was a funny webcomic that was a sequel to another funny webcomic. both took user inputs but homestuck stopped at some point to "get finished faster". It DIDN"T GET FINISHED FASTER. What instead happened was it became freaky popular amongst people all over the internet, and Hussie, seeing a business oppurtunity, proceeded to MILK. THAT. SHIT. some of the most vocal fans eventually were the kind of people one could call "proto-SJWS" Where they just got really offended by everything in homestuck yet were weirdly attatched to the characters and cast in a fucking strange ass way. Early cases of Tumblr blackwashing/trannyfication of white boys came from homestuck for some godforsaken reason it was a fucking wild ass divide. Something snapped in Hussie and he started trying to pander to these people more and more, censoring the references to Dave beign canonically a white kid, removing the "I feel so caucasian" joke that was making fun of silly headcanon shit making a big deal of skin color of all stupid things. those removals and the pandering are around the act 6 period which while you'd think was the endgame of homestuck was like just the entire second half of the comic due to how shittily stretched things became.
SO NOW THE PLOT: Main white [now aracial] Kid charater John Egbert is standing in his room, waiting to get a beta of some weird fucking SIMS style game in the mail called "SBURB" it's his birthday and due to this his single dad has been trying his damndest to make it the best birthday ever by making a fuckload of cakes for his son. His son does NOT want these cakes and then after a bunch of hijinks and attempts at caving his own father's head in with a fucking hammer over too many cakes of all things We find out there's world ending meteors headed for the house caused by the game. It's also shown that the game edits REAL houses like they were houses in the Sims which is fucking wild shit that builds for more funnies later. So john gets into the game's pocket dimension thing or whatever before his house is fucking obliterated and the plot hops between his friends, one of which being the most seemingly well adjusted "cool guy" of the group, Dave strider. I bring up Dave inparticular because he serves as a way for Hussie to integrate older jokes and works into Homestuck. he even had a fucking blog where he used the alias "Dave strider" IIRC. The funny conversations in this come from here and they're apperently looseley based on real convos Hussie had with his friends . "Early homestuck" Really is one of the most memorable bits of homestuck. I still rememebr all these fucking years later after reading the damn thing the whole segment with SAW based muppets pranks Dave's bro pulls on him caused by John seeding doubt in Daves mind about puppets being cool. Daves bro in general was a kinda fun character the fandom loved but then the then tumblr soon to be twitter puritans claimed the rooftop sparring matches with Dave and his bro were literal child abuse so there's a random point in act 6 where dave suddenly has no regrets about his bro dying and has ptsd from the goofy rooftop weeb sparring segment. These people completely ignored shit like the fact another character, Jade, plays fetch with her super powered dog by SHOOTING IT IN THE FACE SO IT HAS TO BEND REALITY ITSELF TO NOT DIE" Wher'es the claims of animal abuse needng to be called out? nowheere, radio silence.
NO MORE HOPPING BETWEEN ACTS AND FACTS TIME TO GIVE THE TL;DR ON HOMESTUCK
Funny comic started out funny, Just a dude, his best bro and 2 girls they're friends with playing a game that ended the world because reasons. It's a Gamer comic. It's revealed aliens created the universe and the nicverse is a frog but some angry glorified security booth officespace guy from the new frog universe they made warped out of it and KILLED A FUCKLOAD OF THEM . They then find out there's a BIGGER GUY tha's a mafia don who was previously mentioned in a mafia spinoff in-universe that was made while the main story was taking a break. Act 6 happens forever and constantly dips and fluctuates in quality tot he point some people thought hussie was using a ghostwriter but it was actually a marketability attempt thing mixed with some other unrelated shit more than likely involving the kickstarter Evenetually act 7 happens and it's well animated but people want the actual lord english fight to be animated instead of implied. Radio silence for years till they make an uneccesary sequel bait thing in the form of Homestuck 2. The end, I'm tire, Help very yes.
Is autism is a prerequisite to enjoying homestuck?
Only if you believe it can and should be but in order to test for it you should be concerned.
