YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG.

GOSH DARN IT, PEOPLE! You guys keep making these secrets that are like, "omg I am not an exact duplicate of every other person in my fandom! Clearly there is something wrong with me!"

There's not, man. You're just you, and you should be you. Not everyone's gonna be the same or like the same shit, even in the same fandom. It's okay. IT'S NORMAL.

[tinfoil_hats]

Right, because it's not like there's shit tons of peer pressure in fandom and if you have a dissenting opinion you'll get dogpiled, trolled, and abused for it.

No, sir, not at all.

Yes, that's sarcasm. I hate it when people pretend fandom bullying doesn't exist, because it does.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, there most certainly is. There's no doubt about that.

But it's the bullies who are wrong, not the people who have dissenting opinions. And people shouldn't feel abnormal for not being like everyone else, particularly if "everyone else" behave like jerks.

op here

yeah ik there's nothing wrong with me i just...i think i'm just over sensitive to fitting in with homestuck fandom because i've had such a hard time fitting in it compared to other fandoms...? like i tried to post in its regular thread on a forum i frequent for nearly two months, only to be told finally that i was being ignored for having a dave icon, wtf, and on tumblr it seems like most of the focus is on the trolls, which i have no interest in. and then the human who gets the most attention is the only human i don't care about. i'm just frustrated, i guess.

[(Anonymous)]

that's really odd, since on tumblr as far as i can see it's all about the striders, man.
can't go two feet without running into some good old strider man pain.

[(Anonymous)]

i think off tumblr there's been a real backlash against the striders, at least for dave. even the forums i know that hate dave think dirk/bro is cool.

[diet_poison]

wait really? People hate Dave? Why? (honestly curious)

[(Anonymous)]

mostly it seems to be just a reaction against a popular figure. he has a lot of fans, and especially a lot of the younger fans in the fandom, so he has more "stupid" fans, according to the haters. i was reading a discussion thread once where, after an update, a poster posted a line of dave's they thought was funny and were promptly dogpiled and ridiculed and told that they were just another stupid dave fan who would mindlessly parrot their favorite lines as if everyone else hadn't read the update already. (nevermind that everyone else in the thread was posting + discussing their favorite lines from other characters.)

aside from the fan-related backlash, i've mostly seen it boil down to "he takes up too much screen time from [complainer's favorite troll here]/he's overrated."

:(
