>>>/co/48271612 I wonder how hard /co/ is going to spam HSG the day homestuck ends>>>/co/48271620 Why would /co/ spam us> /co/> usA subculture on /co/ that in every sense of the term believes it is separate from the board, beginning with but not limited to complete disregard for the board's rule and culture.Ironic shitposting and spamming, blogging, inane lifestyle questions unrelated to HS, arguments about triggers/fat people, porn commissions, RPing, avatarfagging, and a shipping to content ratio that surpasses Gravity Falls General aka Twincest Central.The regulars insist this is okay because they don't infest other threads on /co/. If anything, that makes it worse because it justifies ignoring the board hosting their general and discussions rarely indicate its residents are even familiar with /co/ content. The kind of discourse is a lot more visibly underage/hikki, with the kind of "validate my life" horseshit /co/ has largely managed to avoid. Literally the only link HSG has to /co/ is that HS is putatively a webcomic, but given HS's roots in video game culture and occasional interactive content, it seems like it belongs in /v/ or /vg/ a hell of a lot more than /co/, and its cultural disconnect would be far smaller. I get that this is easy to boil down to "NOT MUH /co/" but it's really demoralizing clearing a level of shitposting I don't see elsewhere on /co/.
>>2515This was HSG's response to a fanartist deciding the community was toxic and leaving it. The part that's missing from the screencap is them repeatedly reposting a traumatic event she stupidly shared with them -- because HSG passes itself off as a community rather than a fandom or general interest on /co/.
>>2516I single out Homestuck because its visible fanbase fixates on characters who are intentional stereotypes of terrible internet personalities, and internet forums are to them a license to roleplay those characters (directly or indirectly via imitation) the kinds of content/behaviors we have global rules against, and because it frequently moves so fast that monitoring it comes at the cost of monitoring the rest of the board (even with more janitors). I hear repeatedly in #janiteam that ironic shitposting is still shitposting. If I were a regular /co/ user I'd follow "ignore things you don't like," but I don't have that luxury. Last night I had to prune disturbingly similar personal drama out of Gravity Falls General, the likes of which I haven't seen in other non-HS generals on /co/ before, surpassing the usual "shut up tripfag" nonsense.Thoughts? Should HSG be on a board closer to its own culture and interests, or should it be moderated more strictly? Even if it's not having any direct effect on the rest of /co/, the precedent of "X gets immunity" either by decree or de facto worries me.
