Why Does It Feel Like Such A White Boy Thing To Accidentally/on Purpose Eat Something With The Outer

why does it feel like such a white boy thing to accidentally/on purpose eat something with the outer layer still on it?

that one guy went to a high-class restaurant, ordered hard-boiled eggs, and ate them with the shells on. someone else bit directly into a whole avocado. i recently found out that my younger brother didn’t like edamame because he ate them with the pods on. why is this such a thing, and why does it happen to white boys in particular?

hey tumblr, i have a question.

Why do people draw significant amounts of fanart of non-human characters as humans?

the human body structure is super hard to get right, it can’t be that it’s easier to draw. is this just a thing people do? what makes humans so special? as a speculative thing i could understand if it were just, like, character references and such, but there are full-on comics where most things are the same but all the characters are humans? why

i’m not sure how helpful my experience will be, since i was barely sapient during the initial buzz, but

i started reading homestuck for some reason i don’t remember - i think one of my parents made an in-joke? i asked them where it was from, they said “this webcomic, be careful, it’s really long” and left me to it.

(i don’t think my parents were ever super into homestuck, they just happened to know some of the lines. yes, i’m autistic, and they knew it.)

so i started reading it. it was only midway through that i found out that there had been significant fandom around homestuck, and because i’m a socially awkward nerd (and my parents won’t let me travel to california (: ) i don’t interact with the fandom a whole lot.

i guess my advice to someone starting to read homestuck would be: avoid other people’s opinions until you’ve formed your own (but still be sure to look at and consider those opinions), don’t take questions (especially of the “oh, have you seen [spoiler]?” kind) until you’re done, and remember that you don’t have to engage with any part of the fandom you don’t like.

seriously, don’t let anyone ruin this for you.

so homestuck is a big deal for a lot of people but if really feels like it was a "you just had to be there" sort of thing. (I was not there and barely know about it beyond what you get by just existing on tumblr) I'm curious if any of you know people that have dived in and "read" it all in recent years. How did they do it? How was their experience? Is this something that is even possible? How so?
