Yes, very much so.

Also we should probably stop going off-topic.
 
No seriously. Fuck this fad. I will not contribute to this forum cancer anymore. I've put up with it because Edo, Smasher, Master Crash, Gamefreak, and 2257 are in on it. No more. Any and all Homestuck name change requests will be ignored by me.

Thanks, mediocre webcomic, for making my position as admin more annoying than it needs to be.

Oh, and yes, I've read it past Act 1 where it supposedly picks up. It never did.

wow
 
Finally, somebody agrees with me.
I'm also getting tired of that Homestuck fad, as names are hard to type, and you can't know who's who without looking at their profile first.

there not gonna like that but i have to agree *holds up flame shield*
 
The main things I'm tired of are:

-denying the characters all look the same
-denying the names are confusing when people swap them (note how some of the Homestuck names are disambiguation pages for two or more users on Userpedia)
-using it as an excuse to type in all caps or hard-to-read fonts (mostly the IRC)

[quote author=Me at the UP board]If people [were doing robot masters] and kept swapping names I'd be pissed too. "WHAT? SNAKE MAN IS SPLASH WOMAN NOW AND VICE VERSA?"[/quote]

Seriously, if people liked Homestuck, stuck with one name, typed normally (aka kept a line between fantasy and reality) and didn't try to force the comic on everyone, I'd read it. Guess what, the FANBASE made it unappealing.

Also I'm not angry at all the people who like this comic. So... yeah I know a lot of respected people are in on the fad and I know a lot of them don't go over the line as described above.

PS I don't hate the comic, I'm just annoyed by the fad (I know I'm only speaking for myself on this one.)
