I find it really useful to shut down discussions where no one is budging and are just overall a big waste of time. As an example, if I’ve been trying to convince someone that the earth is round for 10 minutes and they clearly don’t have any interest in changing their view, I’ll just spare me the trouble and say it. If they still refuse to let it go, I start blindly agreeing with them, that usually does the trick.

Astronauts, on the other hand…

I don’t disagree with your comment, but

also “gifted” is a funny way to say “neurodivergent”

This is not true.

Unfortunately they patched the mscz downloads and now they’re charging for merely viewing more than one page of certain scores. Musescore4 is great but I hope musescore.com burns.

Getting worse every year too

I recommend watching a youtube recap of the history of the fandom as it really helps contextualize the whole comic, and it is quite fun, as such an excentric comic attracted an equally excentric fanbase. There are plenty of fun and gross anecdotes. As for the bucket, you can watch for yourself, but let me warn you…

I got into it blind and only learned about the fandom and the surrounding history after finishing it. It felt like reading a parallel story and it was actually pretty fun, but it only cemented my feeling of not wanting to be associated with them. I mean, the bucket. Just wow.

Exactly

Homestuck, Undertale, Hazbin Hotel, and all those popular pieces of media that get overshadowed by their shitty fandoms

OOP put Hazbin Hotel characters in Homestuck quadrants
