[putting my ranting somewhere safe]
Quinn Angstrom
in the umineko discord
Quinn Angstrom
there are two high-profile livereads going on that the server is watching extremely closely
Quinn Angstrom
and that's good
Quinn Angstrom
the problem is
Quinn Angstrom
both of them are extremely deep in the sauce of homestuck
Quinn Angstrom
and I, as established
Quinn Angstrom
can't look at a single word of homestuck discourse without wanting to tear my eyes out
Quinn Angstrom
and for the past week the entire umineko channel has been taken over with discussions of who in umineko is or isn't vriska
Quinn Angstrom
and I keep just muting the channel for 1/3/8/24 hours and coming back and then someone else is drawing troll horns on kinzo or whatever
Quinn Angstrom
and god
hot bear summer
oof
Quinn Angstrom
I cannot stand it but I also have absolutely no legitimate grounds to stop itt
Quinn Angstrom
talking for weeks about homestuck isn't problematic or against the rules
Quinn Angstrom
it's just something that I, the admin, personally hates
oh i'm scary
isn't it problematic though, if you really think about it
Quinn Angstrom
I did my time in the homestuck mines
Quinn Angstrom
I don't want tot go back
Quinn Angstrom
not even for umineko content
Princess Emily
is it possible to just like,
Princess Emily
make a channel specifically for homestuck shenanigans
Princess Emily
and then just mute that channel
Princess Emily
and kick all homestuck-adjacent shit that way when you find it
Quinn Angstrom
the problem is that the content is multiple ongoing livereads by people who are doing profoundly excellent jobs at understatnding the themes of umineko
Quinn Angstrom
which is like
Quinn Angstrom
the entire content the server was built for
Quinn Angstrom
I can't make people stop engaging
bluecanary
there are two pochapals???
Quinn Angstrom
yes
bluecanary
1. can i come to the server please
2. i will scout for you
Quinn Angstrom
have you read all of umineko
bluecanary
yes
Quinn Angstrom
bluecanary
i havent read ciconia or higurashi but i have read uminekp
Quinn Angstrom
it's not even like, "I ned wait for it to be over and then the problem goes away"
Quinn Angstrom
because pochapal has been at this for like a year
Quinn Angstrom
and is what
Quinn Angstrom
a third of the way into episode 1
Quinn Angstrom
no this is forever
Quinn Angstrom
I can never escape from homestuck
Quinn Angstrom
my favorite game and least favorite web phenomenon are now chained together for the next decade
bluecanary
oh yeah pochapal is taking
bluecanary
10,000 years
bluecanary
to read a novel that already took
bluecanary
at least 8 years
Quinn Angstrom
"how deeply tied to homestuck are these livereads"
Quinn Angstrom
one of them is literally in dave strider's text quirk

lily!
shit, sorry, i'd forgotten it was such a sore point for you. i'll at least keep my contributions to that line of discussion to a minimum
Beans
oh good lord
Echo
Oh Jesus, my condolences.
Quinn Angstrom
if I so much as bring this up in chat I'll be shitting all over other people's fun to force them to feel guilty for not catering to my specific preferences
pastel ranma
I think you do deserve to be comfortable. I think having a channel for homestuck-themed discussion would be worth exploring.
