That’s the only thinkg that bugs me about the homestuck fandom.

If you haven’t seen the whole “series” it’s like INSTANT JUDGING YOU, which is wrong. If I went to a meet for any other fandom and said “Oh, I’ve actually only seen a few episodes of My Little Pony” or “I’ve actually only seen a few strips of the Hetalia comic” they’d be like “Aw, that’s cool. Well let me fill you in…” but if you say “I’ve actually only read a little bit of it” at a Homestuck meet, the person will usually just give you a “TSK TSK. SHAKING MY HEAD.” and give you the cold shoulder for the rest of the meet. People’s attitudes for you actually change once they’re told you haven’t seen as much of the series as they have. Not cool. 

Wish I could say this was only a one-time experience, but it seems to happen every time. This is why I avoid actually talking about Homestuck at Homestuck meets.
