If you want to talk about the comic that badly, I think there are a better ways to do it >.>
Just saying my piece is all.
Wow. Someone's butthurt. Why the heck would you flag a comment just for disagreeing with their opinion? It's not even a mess of gibberish it actually points out a few of the core flaws in this webcomic.
It does suggest that anyone who enjoys the webcomic - that is, disagrees with the reviewers opinion - has a mental illness.
"What's out there? What's waiting for me?"
Ehh, you have a point there. I'm sorry, wasn't really paying attention to the wording of that part. Didn't mean anything by it.
Your second paragraph is condescending and rude. If you think that speaking as you have in this review is in any way appropriate, you're probably a bit sociopathic.
- Ahem*
Bigoted? If you're going to bring that up, you should probably elaborate.
I find it interesting when you complain about it getting old, when there are plenty of webcomics that are several years older and still running.
And what's wrong with goofy?
Oh God! Natural light!
I choose not to have an opinion on Homestuck, but when someone says that something has "gotten old", that doesn't necessarily indicate its age. It's used to say that something is boring, that it's lost its spark - it is no longer as fresh and entertaining as it was. Whether or not that's true or not is up to the consumer.
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down.
"Why won't you die".
And you say that to one of the most trollish fanbases ever.
Dude, you're just begging to get an MGR quote thrown at you.
^^ Alright, that's fair, I don't agree, but whatever. I still don't understand what's wrong with mixing the serious with the absurd. Wasn't that the point?
Also:
Commonly do we see tumblr text posts advertising its wackiness, comparing the first scene to one of the more actionable ones later on. You know the one.
No, I really don't. Could you please elaborate which scene the latter is talking about?
Oh God! Natural light!
Also, I'm sorry for the double post, but you were pretty positive about it in your last review, and it hasn't gone off hiatus in the interim (though it will soon). May I ask what changed?
Oh God! Natural light!
You do know you can't post two reviews do you? :/
Anyway, you say Homestuck itself is bigoted, then your example has nothing to do with it except sharing the same author. Err. Hussie DEFINETELY isn't perfect, but I feel like he changed his tones a bit. I don't know if it's to shut the fandom up or because he realized there's stuff he just can't joke about, which is something important he didn't even probably count at all previously. Maybe a mix of the both?
Aaand I think goofyness is kind of the point? Homestuck has never been *completely* serious after all. I think that's the first thing one should get about it...

This is a terrible review, and that SCP reference is embarrassing and offensive.

Die, Die, Why Won't You Die.
I did a fairly non-noticeable review of Homestuck a while ago. It was mostly positive, although back then I still dislike most of what I dislike now. That review was naught but eight months ago. Yet, I find it pertinent to express my views as they are now, rather than lend them pastly to the rabble mob of fans. Here I shall provide no summary. This is a review for those who know what they're talking about. If you don't, read on as a warning.
Homestuck is long and boring. These are very core elements of its narrative and if you feel yourself even slightly entertained by what's going on, I recommend you stop reading immediately and seek medical attention, as a class-2 Cognitohazard has wormed its way into your skull. We'll be there in a second with the amnestics.
Anyway, Homestuck is long and boring. It got way too out of hand, by author's admission, through the introduction of the Trolls. Said introduction has also made the entire thing into just a really big mishmash of nonsense that isn't suspenseful, engaging, or fun in any way. Commonly do we see tumblr text posts advertising its wackiness, comparing the first scene to one of the more actionable ones later on. You know the one. And I think that really illustrates the problem with Homestuck. It never died. It got older and more tumorous and no, that's not a reference, that's just sad. Until the psychic fish lady, the evil clown, the mind-control spider girl, and the Weird Dog are our main villains, and they're all at this pit of lava, and we're paused here for months and months, just looking back at past failures. It's too damn goofy.
Also, it's pretty bigoted sometimes. Seriously, remember those racist comics Andrew drew a while back? A true insight into the soul.
