Honestly, I feel like most of the Homestucks are teens so automatically that means they're usually more excitable / less respectful at cons. I've heard stories of white towels being covered in gray paint (along w/ the rest of the hotel room), and just generally poor cosplays bc they're usually bby's first and most of them aren't too difficult.

Stay away as long as you can.

Homestuck really isn't worse right now than any other fandom. It's just cause they're easily identifyable as Homestucks. The older fans tend to keep the younger ones in check and if you're worried about body paint your stink eye should be at pretty much any other fandom using it right now. People have been screaming about sealing in the Homestuck fandom about sealing their paint for three years at this point and smears are much more likely to come from Marcelines or Amethysts, but people are so used to having Homestuck as their boogeyman so for some reason they still get to be the scapegoat for literally all unsealed body paint, even if it's pink or purple.

Believe me, literally everyone in the Honestuck fandom is cringeing just as much as you are (if not harder because they know that other people point at it and go "this is the fandom") at the spitting-in-a-bucket bs.

But YMMV depending on your local comm.

Worked at a few conventions with a buddy of mine, selling goods and what not. When its not busy, it allows you sit back and people watch, and you really get to see how autistic people are at a convention. Homestuck ones take the cake, its like they suddenly forgot that theyre in public and all social norms go out the window. And the more there are of them, the worse it gets. Always killed me when a group of them came to my table and started handling t-shirts, tossing them around squealing, and making crappy meme jokes. There paint gets all of it, destroys my product, and I cant even charge them for it.

Homestuck cosplay appeals to young weaboos and the kind of sad fuck that craves the attention of young weaboos. This means that the fandom lends itself to obnoxious behavior and a general lack of social consciousness. As a bonus, the fandom inherited a LOT of people from Hetalia and Naruto (my local con actually had a 'HetaStuck' panel). At peak Hamsteak you couldn't turn a corner at a convention without running into four different Dave Striders all busily pantomiming making out and screaming.
There are also the more infamous Homestuck stories, eg: the unsealed body paint, the bucket video.

Now, though, I think the fandom's kind of a shell of what it used to be; the hiatus shifted most of them to SNK/SU. A great majority of copsplayers these days are either high school aged kids riding the coattails of the bandwagon or the few older ones who never learned to let go.

Tell me about it. Honestly, I used to be really into HS last year and it was great to read it everyday when I got home from college, but now I just want the whole thing to end so it can fucking die. It's been dragged out too long as is and was supposed to end back in 2014, not 2016 as it's likely to end up crashing. I just want to know how it ends after four years of reading the damn thing.

I've found through my tumblr dash over the past year that quite a lot of the HS people I used to follow have switched allegences to SU, especially folks in the mid teen range (14-17). The older teens and early twenties people seem to have stuck with HS. Hopefully this migration will get the worst shit out of Homoshit, but if there's an upd8 before a major con near you then say your prayers as I reckon a lot of people are going to have both SU and HS cosplays or SU/HS crossovers, which is going to be unsealed body paint hell. I'm shuddering thinking about it.

Homestuck seems to be the rejected cosplayers for being obnoxious and they kind of come together and form one big obnoxious bubble. I also find the largest, ugliest and stupidest cosplayers (90% female with muh gender problems) are part of this fandom for the most part with a few slightly but not much more attractive and thinner people sprinkled.

Either way they're all generally man children too.

Depends on the part of the world you are I guess. Our country is very far behind on bandwagons so SU isn't that popular and hardly anyone knows of Jojo. So we're still in the HS, Harley/Ivy and Adventure Time era.

Early 20's homestuck reader/cosplayer here (the cosplay-with-good-friends part is what's worthwhile). It does seem to be the case that a lot of the younger fans moved to SU, though I know a few adult SU cosplayers and plenty of fans (maybe not fanDOM, though). I feel too old and sane for a new embarrassingly over-the-top fandom.

You're right, if an upd8 comes there's going to be a resurgence of homestuck cosplay, but I don't know how much more unsealed homestuck there'll be. If any of the SU fans who don't seal previously liked homestuck and would go back to it for an upd8, they have no excuse...
I'm really hoping that you're wrong because I have a vision of this hell. Please, no.

So sad that Homestuck is dying, only got into cosplaying it this summer and don't want it to end. There are still plenty of people who only started reading a few months ago, so with some effort I think it could get renewed life and live at least for another couple of years, but currently it looks like the fandom is at its last legs in my country.

I feel so pressured into watching Steven Universe, but it looks so unappealing. But the homestuckers enjoy it, and the last couple of brony events I've been at have pretty much been SU meetups in disguise. It really seems like SU is the future, and after all Homestuck was a bore to get into as well, so maybe there's hope.

Any suggestions for other real life fandoms to join? The last few months I've been completely dependent on cons and meetups for social interaction, but my fandoms seem to be dying. If it all dies out, I'll have to go months without meeting anyone ;_;

I went to a meet because my at the time gf begged me to go and wow I was so greatful I had to bail for work.

They are literally rock people. The only concept of sex and gender they have comes from what they see on Earth. I agree that calling them all "nonbinary feminine presenting w/ female pronouns uwu" is pretty tumblr, but if you actually think about how gender would work on their planet and within the context of their species, it makes a lot more sense saying that than just saying 'they're all girls' because Homeworld gems don't have a concept of what 'girls' actually are because everyone in Homeworld would have the same sort of body and don't reproduce sexually. There is literally no need for gender for the gems in the series itself, but making them all appear female is a lot simpler than making up a new gender for a kids cartoon.

Sage for stupid ranting, I've just seen this argument in multiple places today and it's annoying.

Don't feel too bad anon, it hasn't really reached the size of most dominating fandoms and I've found most older people who are into it are pretty cool. For some reason I haven't seen too many younger teens info Jojo or maybe I am just blind. I'm pretty recent to it as well, it's fun to follow. The perks are there's a lot of merchandise and fanart of it now.

Honestly though. Being someone from Vegas. Homestucks are thriving here. Like, it's stupidly insane how far back the community is here. That's why I really don't want to associate with them.

Now especially that there's newbie convention goers/cosplayers, be very weary

yeahhh exactly. im tired of hearing them called 'nonbinary' when they're a single gendered race. kind of like the asari from mass effect or any other aliens that only are one gender. they're not nonbinary, they just don't have a concept of gender. i still call them an all girl alien race, though.

why do literally the worst types of people get attracted to these shows?

first you had my little pony, a show made by a feminist with little lessons at the end about friendship, girlpower, and cutting ties with bullies in a respectful manner. vast majority of fanbase flips its shit and sends hatemail when derpy is censored, whines about feminists and the friendzone, declare very openly that 'this show isn't girly' and puts fluttershy decals on handguns without irony.

now we have steven universe, a show seething with diversity, and the fandom contains people who don't think garnet is supposed to be a black woman and complain come the Rose Fountain ep because 'rose never used to be fat, this is a retcon to pander to the sjws'

it's like, the core basis of this show is opposite to your existing opinions in every way. what mental gymnastics are you using here to gain enjoyment out of it?

Because they are entry level. Easy to get into yet they seem like they have more going on (when really it is just nice and basic). Loads get into it so loads talk about it, this means people do stuff for it as they like it and/or want attention form the big group

>whines about feminists
that's just every group as tumblr feminism has been so effective at pissing everyone off, even attacking gashi gashi the dickwads

The clue to enjoying any franchise, be it a sports franchise, a TV show-based franchise, or whatever: ignore the fans.

The majority of hardcore fans are fucking idiots, regardless of what it is that they're a fan for.

True, and I also know a few spoilers (granted, it were spoilers people derived from one of the promotional articles) but nothing major.

Honesty for me I know I'm incredibly anal about avoiding spoilers solely because I just want to go in as blind as possible and have everything be a surprise for me.

And you're right on that one, almost none if any costumes are as easy as painting your skin blue and putting on a shirt and a skirt. I just hope we won't see too many posts about how everyone is an asexual transgender greyromantic foxkin.

4chan screaming about tumblr is honestly more annoying than sjws themselves, at least sjws are trying to be helpful and failing miserably instead of trying to be edgycool and failing miserably

i mean, it takes a special kind of stupid to bitch about feminists all being gross, then turn around and praise a series that featured a pretty pink princess rescuing her guard husband 'shining armour'.

i never actually got into that series. i remember one idiot made a pie-chart about the racial distributions fanartists supplied a fanmade cecil, as though drawing more black cecils would end racism. i can't remember how many people complained about it tho

I know you said you don't give a shit about the show, but as a fan who does find the fandom cringy at times, here is how it is explained:

The Gems are genderless. The only part of them that is technically considered part of their "physical" form is the actual Gem. The Gems designate their own physical forms. If you really look at just the show images, not fanart, the Homeworld Gems (Jasper, Lapis, Peridot) only have narrow waists "feminine" attributes, apart from Lapis who also wears a dress. The Crystal (earth-bound) Gems have slightly more "feminine" proportions but I really wouldn't say that any of them exhibit what I would call "breasts" or any other distinct female genitalia. Jasper and Amethyst have long hair, but so does Greg Universe (there is actually a theory that Amethyst grew her hair out to mimic Greg.)

The only other gender-distinguishing feature are their voices and the fact that they use female pronouns, which can be pretty damning but this is also a kid's show and there's only so far you can take kids today into sjw-practices without confusing the hell out of them.

All that said, I agree that SJW take this shit too far with this show and we should just enjoy it for what it is. And I also found Steven Universe to be insufferable until Connie shows up (Bubble Buddies). Once Connie comes along and the plot starts leaking out, Steven starts to toughen up for real and I'm really looking forward to where the show goes.

I know this is probably bait and gashi gashi seems off-topic as fuck but for fuck's sake, gashi gashi is a fucking creep and he isn't even secretive about it. Just follow him for less than a day on twitter and you'll see how much he stalks and constantly says unwarranted sexual shit to random female artists.

I love Ion and I want to kill the person who did this to you.

That said, one homestuck cosplayer wanted to hug me when I was wearing a mostly white costume. I stared at them head to toe in horror, watching the unsealed body paint on their arms and told them straight up no. They looked at me like I had slaughtered their whole family, but bitch I'm not going to let you ruin my costume. Go hug an electric fence.

To be honest, I'm super excited for the ultra weeb crossover. I'd love to cosplay from it once it comes out so I hope it doesn't get too popular. A lot of SMT fans seem pretty alienated by it, so we'll see. I bet the P3 and P4-only casuals will eat it up though.
