This.

If it works for Homestuck fen, then don't gripe.

If it works for Homestuck fen so well that they feel it's useful in other places, too, don't gripe. Nobody's making you do it. (And, as the comments for this secret prove: if you aren't a Homestuck fan but are super-curious about the pairing being discussed, a quick "hey, what does moirail mean?" will net you a five-second summary! You aren't excluded from the convo for forever and ever; all you have to do is ask - or Google - and then jump in if it still sounds interesting!)

If it works for Homestuck fen so well that they use it in other places, and it's picked up by the people in those places, well. That means it's filling an empty space in the language for those people. They've had that moment of "Wow! I always wished there was a nice short word for that concept, and now I've found one!" and they're probably not going to give it up.

As [personal profile] diet_poison says: as long as they're not yelling at people for not using it (which I, also, have never encountered) then let them do whatever they've found works best for them.
