somebody mention homestuck?

But like yeah. I've been in a lot of toxic fandoms over the ages, I was into Undertale when it came out and was loving all the cool shit that was being made and then all the AUs and Sans x Sans ships coame up and I just 'noped' the fuck out of there. My only saving grace about Homestuck is I got interested in it in around early 2018, when it was already pretty much dead due to hiatus. Hiveswap is geniunely beautiful, James Roach's track names are hilarious and the Friendsim trolls are lovely, I hope to actually play that someday, but I get it. The JoJo Fandom is pretty much to 2018 what Undertale was to 2016 and Homestuck to 2012. That one annoying-ass fandom that pops up literally everywhere and annoys everyone to the point of having simliar jokes made about them on the intermet.

And well, to speak as whom seems to be the only actual Homestuck fan on this wiki, yea. The fandom is fucking weird to the point where the fandom being fucking weird is a fandom joke, yes yeet Vriska into everything, yes everything's apparently a funii homosuck reference but in the end it's just because people like what they like. To the fact that just looking in the comments of any Homestuck music, Deltarune music and  like anything else made by Toby it's practically a running irl joke to find more people in the comments complaining about Undertale comments than Undertale comments and the few you do find are usually some sort of witty joke/reference or respectful comment or comparasion. That's why fandoms exist and when you're into something you tend to like to reference it around people because it's what you like ,a dn you like to say or make jokes that while other people don't get or find annoying it's just to have fun. (unless it's somebody being ironic and actually scathing) Just for whatever reason the JoJo fandom is the most obnoxious about it, Undertale folks while memey are a drying breed in comments and have too much respect to make ironic jokes about such a feelsy game, Homestucks just did it because they were doing what they liked and found funny and because Homestuck's just so bizarre (wrryyyy) by default people got irritated by it, and hey, don't over look the Touhou fandom either, they're fucking ginonormous and has like all the clout of Undertale here PLUS a third more, thye have their inside jokes and show up like everywhere on Nico Nico Douga to the point I saw a comment on a NND medley commenting that pretty much every meme over there has been Touhouized, even memes that started as Touhou memes to begin with just by swapping characters around, we just ignore this because it's much more popular in the East and YouTube is a mostly Western site meaning that while it is there it's a LOT less prominent than Undertale or JoJo.

Moral of the story is, fandoms can be annoying, but unless it's ironic jojo, they're just doing it to have fun and joke amongst themselves, like the invasion of SiIvaGunner fans on a Tweet by Hobart a while back, people gathering together and rushing the place because they all get one joke that only a fandom member would get, to the fact I literally compared it to the time JoJo fans swarmed a post by Rotten Tomatoes about the fact a new droid in Star Wars was called DIO. Every thing a person follows has that one unique joke that only they get, Undertale fans will always be off-kilter at the sight of yellow flowers, Touhou fans instantly think of Cirno whenever they see a 9, Homestucks will never act normal around metal buckets anymore, Rick & Morty fans find pickles needlessly impressive and I highly doubt anybody who watches Vinesauce can see Kermit without instantly replacing it with Vinny's quotes in their head. And I'm sure there's much more like stuff I personally don't follow or know much about like RWBY, Sherlock, and i know The Office has a bunch that have their own inside jokes. I mean us here on the wiki can probably never properly watch an episode of The Flintstones without thinking about 7 GRAND DAD, and literally whenever I see literally anything Love Live! related on the internet now (unless it's Nico because we all know why, and that overrules it) in other people's memes I instantly just default to the image of the Snow halation music vid in my head.

This post, while not the most cuth, accurately summs it up, and is a perfect example of everything has it's faults. Everything in moderation.

and tony dafuq you whining about homestuck for, other than me and i'm sure other places like undertale ost it's actually pretty rare to see homestuck related stuff these days since the comic's over unless it's related to hiveswap, i've seen more comments on the undertale ost complaining about homestuck than homestuck comments and entirely vice versa on the homestuck ost It's dead, and sure Homestuck^2 came out, but other than it's initial announcement being worthy of a front page mention on KnowYourMeme when it happened, pretty much nobody's been referencing it outside of obviously the fandom. So you aren't likely to find many Homestuck comments anymore unless you're on pretty old videos or just the fact they have a troll pfp but otherwise don't mention it and make normal comments until someone else goes out of their way to point it out. Everyone has what they do and don't like, I agree, but we're not THAT annoying and provasive, not anymore, that's more a complaint reserved for MLP.
