Okay, where do I begin… I want to start off by saying that I try my hardest to be open-minded and not jump to conclusions. I do my very, very best not to make general assumptions about a fandom based on a handful of people, nor do I shy away from a series if the fandom is off-putting. But sometimes that’s just very hard to do, isn’t it?

So I guess it goes without saying that it feels as if Homestuck has taken over the world by now. I don’t read it, but I do have several friends that do. They respect that though (well, all except for one, but that’s another story) and Homestuck is only mentioned in passing among us, like if I’m asking them what they’re doing at the moment or something like that. Now up until recently I’ve had a neutral opinion of Homestuck. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t like it, and I certainly thought nothing of the fandom.

Well. That’s changed. Drastically.

Warning, this is a very, very long story with possible triggers.

Man I am terribly sorry that happened to you and the stuff you had to deal with. I hope no one has to come in contact with these people ever again and that get into an extreme amount of trouble.

But to be honest. I have a hard time believing a lot of these weeaboo stories actually go down or aren’t exaggerated the more these come out. I’ve read 4+ extreme horror stories in like less than 3 months. I mean honestly. I was really sympathetic up until the part until the crowd started to cheer. If the WHOLE crowd was cheering him on …. wouldn’t someone remember and possibly post about it? Or at least ONE PERSON would help? Because I have the hardest time wrapping my mind that a crowd of 30+ people (if not LARGER due to the description.) would openly mock a woman who was in trouble and being assaulted. All the Homestuck fans I have met have been kind and extremely friendly/self-aware. (People KNOW other anime con attendees don’t like Homestuck. I know I try and keep it on the down-low when I attend, and I know many other people who also cosplay Homestuck do also.) If I was there I am pretty fucking goddamn sure I would not WAIT for con security to help and jump into action. NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS EVER. And if anyone from this particular con can recall this even happening and can confirm it’s credibility, then feel free to contact me and shove my head up my ass.

Until then I am just going to put my head in my hands and just fucking christ Homestuck Fandom.

This.

I’ll be honest. I doubt this happened. I’ve never been able to walk around a con barefooted without con security finding me within 10 minutes and telling me to put shoes on (even if I was wearing socks) so I doubt that an actual MOB would have been able to form as such.

Also just because someone has facepaint on doesn’t mean you can’t tell what their facial features are. IDK that might just be me. 

On the other hand. 

I do know people get ridiculed and poked fun at just because they are in a certain fandom. I have heard people say they would purposefully spill something on someone’s costume if they saw them cosplaying a certain fandom. Bullying is REAL and it’s NOT COOL.

NOT.

COOL.

So yeah I think this story is BS

but

I think the message is there.
