Homestuck: it's good despite the flaws. Maybe even partly because of them?

I've been listening to a podcast called Homestuck Made This World. I'm not usually a podcast guy but I'd highly recommend it. It's two guys, both academics, one new and one who has never read it before, going through Homestuck piece by piece and taking it apart and putting it in historical and cultural context. It's a great nostalgia trip where you also learn about media history and philosophy. It's great! Their other shows are too and again, I'm not a big podcast guy.

Anyways it did inspire me to go back through the whole thing (yes, including the Epilogues) earlier this year. There's a lot of parts that haven't aged well, but as a whole I think it mostly holds up! Like a lot of people ITT are talking about how the pauses turned them off the comic, and it is remarkable how much Act 6 benefits when you aren't waiting for it update by update. It's good, actually.
