I request that you'll pardon me if I write this letter in a more personal vein than usual. I want to tell you about some personal perceptions of mine, primarily because I am appalled that I have cause to write this article. I assume you already know that a day of reckoning is coming, and the Homestuck Fanbase will be called to account, but I have something more important to tell you. I don't know what sort of abuse the Homestuck Fanbase was subjected to as a child that made it such a mutinous, morally questionable phony but I do know that it somehow manages to maintain a straight face when saying that the future of the entire world rests in its hands. I am greatly grieved by this occurrence of falsehood and fantastic storytelling which is the resultant of layers of social dishevelment and disillusionment amongst the fine citizens of a once organized, motivated, and cognitively enlightened civilization.

Warned early we were about their dangerous antics early on, though we did not realize this. Is it just me, or do other people also think that juxtaposed to this is the idea that the Homestuck Fanbase is as frightful as it is pesky? I ask because it's the Homestuck Fanbase's belief that my letters demonstrate a desire to promote a culture of dependency and failure. I can't understand how anyone could go from anything I ever wrote to such a purblind, sneaky idea. In fact, my letters generally make the diametrically opposite claim, that even if one is opposed to hopeless isolationism (as I am) then, surely, the Homestuck Fanbase sees itself as a postmodern equivalent of Marx's proletariat, revolutionizing the world by wresting it from its oppressors (viz., those who lead us all toward a better, brighter future).

You must forgive my directness, but if we contradict the Homestuck Fanbase, we are labelled improvident barrators. If we capitulate, however, we forfeit our freedoms. There's a chance that the Homestuck Fanbase will defy the rules of logic sooner or later. Well, that's extremely speculative, but it is clear today that the Homestuck Fanbase occasionally writes letters accusing me and my friends of being the worst kinds of subversive gauleiters there are. These letters are typically couched in gutter language (which is doubtless the language in which the Homestuck Fanbase habitually thinks) and serve no purpose other than to convince me that I do not propose a supernatural solution to the problems we're having with it. Instead, I propose a practical, realistic, down-to-earth approach that requires only that I put inexorable pressure on the Homestuck Fanbase to be a bit more careful about what it says and does.

About anyone can tell you that it's easy enough to hate the Homestuck Fanbase any day of the week on general principles. But now I'll tell you about some very specific things that the Homestuck Fanbase is up to, things that ought to make a real the Homestuck Fanbase-hater out of you. First off, on the issue of absenteeism, it is wrong again. Sure, the Homestuck Fanbase's illiberal philosophies induce paralysis of the cerebrum. But we must show some backbone. To do anything else, and I do mean anything else, is a complete waste of time.

Stairs and hurdles should not be allowed to get in the way of a soapbox. If we let the Homestuck Fanbase spread hatred, animosity, and divisiveness, who's going to protect us? The government? Our parents? Superman? Probably none of the above. That's why it's important to challenge the Homestuck Fanbase's claims of exceptionalism. That's all I have to say about the Homestuck Fanbase so I guess I'll stop writing now. Oh, and the Homestuck Fanbase: Before you start formulating a smart reply, make sure you take the first word of every paragraph, because otherwise I'm just not interested.

Welcome to the Internet, there are scripts for everything. They just got a standard 'wall of text argument' and fiddled with it for the amusing subversion.

The fact that there is an actual term that homesuck losers use to describe it is sad.

Also sad that you are apparently keeping track of how many times I call it homesuck

sucky

If you don't read homestuck and didn't read the whole first post, it probably doesn't apply to you.
