Not so popular that people outside of fandom would encounter it.

Which has nothing to do with Homestuck. It is just a general trend these days that fandom is seen as less of a weird thing and that many show executives are starting to open the dialogue with fandom in a whole new way.

Not just Homestuck ofc. With tumblr, it's given signal boosting trends in fandom helped a signal boost itself so much that it's hard not to notice if you visit the site.

Regarding HS, I just thought the crossover between "normal" fans and fandom helped make it easier to actually bring up shipping, as calling it shipping, in places like /co/ or gamefaqs like above anon mentioned. And as I said before, idk. I'm not really citing anything to go by or am a fandom historian or anything, rather just going by what I notice :U

no, you're just a homestuck fan who is seeing the evolution of a certain thing from the perspective of your fandom. *Absolutely* tumblr has made concepts like "shipping" more popular in the mainstream. But what kinds of things REALLY made it a term that a random person who isn't in fandom might understand? Fanfic that gets published; fanart that is put on talk shows to be discussed by actors; etc.
A random person on the street doesn't give two shits about homestuck but might actually know that Fifty shades of Grey is Twilight fanfic... so that's a lot likelier to have brought the concept of shipping to the forefront.
