I've not been keeping up with Homestuck, what did Jake do to make everyone hate him? When I was in that fandom, he was almost universally loved.

[manzana]

Not sure if this is what OP means, but the most common complaint I see regarding him is that the love triangle with Jane and Dirk revolving Jake made Act 6 seem even slower than it already felt, for the serial readers.

I'm mostly indifferent towards him, personally.

[diet_poison]

This is mostly why I don't like him, tbh. He treated Dirk very badly. (I don't blame him as much for the bit with Jane since she was pretty dumb about that herself. Interestingly, I don't like Jane much either, and the two of them are the only characters in Homestuck, other than the Amporas, that I actively dislike)

[(Anonymous)]

Jake didn't handle the relationship well at all, but considering that -- as far as I can tell -- he was never actually interested in a relationship and got browbeaten into it by the Auto-Responder, I can't blame him much.

[diet_poison]

Eh. It might be partly personal for me, in fact it certainly is, but his completely lack of communication with Dirk really bothered me. All he needed to do was say "sorry, Dirk, I'm not feeling this." but he just cut him off an ignored him and that shit HURTS

[othellia]

Same. It's amazing how much I adore Roxy and Dirk (to the point where Roxy has been my one Homestuck cosplay), but at the same time I'm just "meh" about Jane and Jake.

[diet_poison]

I like Roxy and Dirk a lot too! but I also really like all four beta kids. They don't have that divide for me that the alpha kids do. :(

[(Anonymous)]

DA Yeah Jake is the only character in Homestuck I actually hate. The love triangle and treating Dirk badly was part of it but also how much he WHINED and complained during that arc really bugged me.

I don't consider him funny enough to make up for those traits either, a lot of the Homestuck characters are flawed but they have other things about them that amuse me.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think he is universally hated?

[(Anonymous)]

When did everyone start hating Jake? I like Jake :(

[(Anonymous)]

For some reason when I try to envision him as an actual person I just see Markiplier. I don't even read Homestuck anymore or watch Markiplier's videos, but my brain likes the visual. Just thought I'd share that.

[(Anonymous)]

Best headcanon ever.

[(Anonymous)]

I remember when the character was first introduced everyone had a big boner for him and there were tons of sexy fanart. He became something of a memetic sex God overnight, even before it became obvious all the Beta kids had a crush on him.

And then the whole love triangle thing happened.

So yeah I don't think making him look good would have helped much. Fandom's mental image of him is already that of a sexy guy.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess it's because he showed more "stupidity" later on, that pinged people as childish. which is probably less attractive.

but I agree, if he seemed hotter in canon art, ppl would love him more.

[(Anonymous)]

Is the anon who's freaked out by pointed manga chins here?

She is

[(Anonymous)]

OH GOD KEEP IT AWAY

[al28894]

I can't deny, he looks somewhat attractive in the second pic.

[dani_phantasma]

I have to admit that pic is pretty damn hot.

[(Anonymous)]

How attractive he's supposed to be wouldn't really make a difference to me, I find him so annoying that I don't even think about that.

Text: I bet that if the art style reflected Jake’s alleged hotness, the fans wold not hate him as universally.
