Sorry if this isn't a good thread, but I just wanted to talk about this. I don't have many friends, I only have about 4, currently. They're all from school, and since my mom was very overprotective she never let me go outside until a while ago (even though my country has almost zero kidnappers), so I made very few friends. I can't call other forumers "friends", even though I'm on here every single day (sad, I know) but I tried introducing HS to my friends and some ignored, while others read a page or two and decided it was too boring. Not to brag, but I'm in that 1% of Homestucks who enjoyed Act 1, 2 and 3. I really liked the alchemization part, because I'm all about that item mixing (it sounds so cool to me, like take a hoodie, take a laptop and you can text and do shit on your hoodie while also keeping the original items).
Anyways, are YOUR real life friends Homestucks?

I introduced it to one of my roommates from a couple years ago in college and she got kind of into it, like to the point of making a Terezi cosplay lol. I don't know if she ever finished reading though, since we don't really keep up as much anymore.
Then my friend who introduced me to Homestuck, stopped reading it around Act 4 or so mainly because of a bad experience with some other fan which just turned her off to the whole thing. Kind of unfortunate, but it happens.
Other than that, none that I know of.

The only other Homestuck I've ever met was my brother's girlfriend, and I've only met her once.
I've thought about trying to get my friends into Homestuck in the past, but never actually gone through with it.

None of my friends are Homestucks, which is just as well, because I'm not a Homestuck either.

My friends are mostly ex-homestucks.

My friends are mostly ex-homestucks. No offense but I never got that whole ex-Homestuck thing. What does it mean? Did you stop liking it? I just don't see how that would happen.

I know you wrote Hexane, but why did you stop liking it? Many reasons. The characters stopped being likable and started being whiny and annoying, the myriad plot threads got incredibly out of hand, the author started adding SHOCKING TWISTS just for the sake of prolonging his already-bloated comic, two years of progress were wiped out so a character could get a power that was stupid, there were so many pointless characters introduced (the alpha trolls) that they stopped having a point and were just there to, again, prolong the comic and serve as walking (bad) punchlines, the ending didn't resolve anything, Hiveswap was a massive scam and I want my money back, that one incest conversation with the sprite^2s, the sprite^2s in general, the fact that nobody's arc was resolved, I could go on. Also, I'm not sure you know this, but doubleposting is frowned upon.

I get you, but how is Hiveswap a scam? Where did that two million dollars go? Why can't anybody talk about anything? Don't tell me it's because of legal reasons. That's not how lawsuits work.

I'm sorry that it's "frowned upon". I won't do it again.

(So I guess I'm the only person alive who enjoyed everything about Homestuck...)
So I met my Homestuck friends at my school by holding up a picture of Temmie from UnderTale, walking around and saying "Tem needs money for cool leg, would you like to donate?" So I walked up to their group and started talking, and found out they liked Homestuck, as well as Danganronpa, Kill la Kill, Black Butler, and some other anime I liked.
My only friend who isn't a Homestuck just hasn't gotten around to reading it because he goes to a different school who assblasts him with Homework and makes his class do the school work they didn't finish as Homework

I don't have friends who read Homestuck, they don't even know english as I'm aware of. I know there are like some little amount of people that know about HS and live close to me (not too close) but I've never met them so...
I didn't even tried to introduce Homestuck to anyone because they might find it boring or too complicated, but almost everyone knows that I read it.
I introduced them HS music instead and as far as I know they like it.

The comic changed a lot from beginning to end. Many of my friends were originally attracted to the site by the kind of work Andrew was doing when he was making Problem Sleuth. Generally speaking they liked the first few acts. People starting slipping out of love with the comic around when trolls were introduced, and was almost total by the time Andrew decided to introduce a second set of all of the characters. It just wasn't what they had originally signed on for. I don't believe Hiveswap was "a scam" though. It really is a real thing that you often are advised by lawyers not to talk about the details of ongoing court action in public, and regardless of that... video games are just a fucking lot of work.

I actually loved Acts 1-4. It's kind of elitist to assume you're unique for thinking you were one of the few people who liked them. I started reading just after Cascade, which, unbeknownst to me at the time, was the beginning of the end in terms of overall quality.

When did I say what you are accusing me of saying? The OP said that they were in some kind of 1%, I did not.

I was kind of talking to OP there, I was agreeing with you.

I liked all the acts. Actually, the only thing I didn't like was how Hussie shoved Vriska down everyone's throats but I mostly agree with you.

It's not being elitist, it's sort of the truth. 1% of the fandom is still a shit ton, you know that, right? Just that you're the first person I've met who actually likes the first three acts,
