Maybe it's because I've been in fandom for over a decade, but I don't think their weirdos are any worse than any other big fandom's.

it's really not tho. have you seen the hetalia fandom, or the sherlock fandom, or

any fandom tbh

(Anonymous) 2013-06-20 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
hahah at the idea of the APH fandom being even half as crazy as HS.

i've been in both and in my experience the hetalia fandom has and always will be much crazier (in a negative sense) than the homestuck fandom.

idk, at least the Homestuck fans keep their fandom mostly to themselves as opposed to 'Superwholock' fans who shoehorn their fandom into every single post on Tumblr

(Anonymous) 2013-06-20 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Being a fan of one or two can get annoying too, because if you like one people assume you like all three.

I'm no fan of Homestuck but I don't think they're any crazier than the other batshit fandoms. I mean, they ARE batshit. They're just not on a deeper level of insanity than the crazier sides of Supernatural, Sherlock, etc fans.

This. Homestuck fans seem a lot more generally craft oriented than what I've seen from other fandoms, but it's usually just more of the same old same old I've been seeing for years.

yeah... maybe because they *are* so craft-oriented (that is, they make a lot of objects that they can then carry around/show off) they *seem* crazier? Because it's not all on the computer, and some of it is out there in the real world...
But yeah that doesn't make them crazier. They're just their own flavor of crazy.

The urge to make shirts with logs and/or horns is strong in us.

This is the first fandom I've come across that produces a lot of audio works. On top of all the filk and parody songs done in-character, there's an ongoing full-cast reading of the comic and even audio porn (Homesmut Voices).

It freaks me out, too, but rationally I know they're probably not worse than any other fandom. It's just that Homestuck is the only one (out of the big ones) where I IRL know people who are into it, and the fandom experience has been really toxic for them, even if some of them don't want to admit it (yet).

What's weird is it's all been wonderful for me so far. I mean, I've heard of bad stuff happening (usually for drama reasons that aren't inherent to homestuck just so much as happening in a homestuck group) but thusfar It's all missed me.

I don't follow Homestuck fanodom all that much, but it doesn't seem to me much worse than other huge fandoms. The craziest stuff I've seen has been in the KPop fandom and also the Supernatural fandom, but all fandoms have their share of weirdos.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-18 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That's definitely a creepy picture.

I'd be scared too if a cellophane piñata troll with Kyubey's eyes stared at me from a tree.

I don't follow the fandom, but I wonder why you're scared. Like, have you had some bad experience with the fans or something?

[Picture of a homemade puppet of Tavros, a character from Homestuck who looks like a humanoid creature with gray skin, yellow eyes, yellow and orange bull-like horns and black hair. He's hiding behind a tree.]

I KNOW PEOPLE SAY ALL FANDOMS HAS ITS WEIRDOS ...BUT HOMESTUCK IS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL.

Clearly, OP has never had serious interaction with bronies, Harry Potter fans, Hetalia fans, etc, etc, etc.

I've been in a number of big fandoms over the years and Homestuck really is no weirder than the average fandom. It only seems weirder because the canon's inscrutable to outsiders.

Actually, Homestuck fandom lacks a lot of the usual batshit. No RPF tinhatting, no tweeting the actors pornographic fanfic (Hussie doesn't give a shit about fic anyway) and the ship wars are positively tame compared to other fandoms (HP, Avatar).

I think Homestuck is way saner than HP fandom, lol--but there's no actors to tinhat over or tweet porn TO.

(And I still say anything involving Misha Collins gets a pass--I'm out of SPN fandom for years now but Misha loves the crazy.)
