ramblings on discord because im just disgusted with the jacksepticeye shit going down w/ hiveswap
Repeat after me: NEW FANS ARE GOOD. NEW FANS KEEP FANDOMS ALIVE.
Homestuck fandom was the RESURGENCE of the concept of cringe fandom.
We’re the fandom with the loud, public xeno kinks that are baseline vanilla among porn circles.
We’re the fandom nearly thrown out of hotels and banned from conventions because a bulk of our cosplayers didn’t know how to seal paint.
We’re the fandom that took any vague, shiny new thing about and added -STUCK to it to make a new AU.
We are the cringe fandom.
It is us.
And if anyone from “the old guard” – CRINGE – gets uppity and in your face? You point them to me, my children, for I’ve been here longer than them, and I keep receipts.
You’re not too cringe for Homestuck. They’re not Homestuck enough for the cringe anymore. (But we’ll remind them, don’t worry.)
Friends, let me tell you about Homestuck 😀
Part of the fun of being in the homestuck fandom was liking what you liked loudly and laughing at people who got mad about it, it was cringe before and its gonna be cringe again and i intend to have fun with it.
