I don't like to get into the few 'bad apples' that are in the fandom as there are in all randoms and in life. I would love to hear more people post their general Homestuck experience in the "BACK IN MY DAY" thread. My story started with bad impressions of the Homestuck fandom but I gave it a shot and now it's like my family.
If there are specific Homestuck people that are not representing the fandom how we would like but hey everyone is entitled to be themselves and if that how they want to act then I feel like they won't have a lot of friends. But that doesn't mean they have no friends! I'm saying it's their choice and everyone has that right.
If there is a particular person or group affiliate that does not represent Homestuck (and I'm saying they are being offensive or hurtful to people then I think we should bring that to peoples attention but I personally highly detour posting names of these individuals online since I don't want to attack them based on other peoples words or experiences. If they are a true threat or make people uncomfortable, Fanime has no problem removing their badge and removing them from Fanime. Do not be afraid to inform the staff.
Some people say 'let's show people they're wrong for thinking homestuck is bad' or 'homestuck is rude and a terrible fandom' I say leave the past in the past and just be happy and yourself and let people get to know you and see your love and passion for the fandom instead of trying to say ' Homestuck is known for being bad'. It really hurts me that people who are fans of Homestuck would even say such a thing like it's a fact. We are great and SAY IT!<3
