11/05/11(Sat)10:56 No. 31199290 I am from the online nation known as 4chan: the very center of the internet. I have visited many boards, such as the ever zealous /b/, and a board wherein our case study shall be conducted: /co/. /co/ is a natural habitat for those who enjoy animation, cartoons, and of course, comics in their infinite variety. /co/ is well known for its inhabitants which are usually pleasant and willing to debate in a respectable manner. Of particular note is the entrenched fanbase of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, known coloquially and mockingly as 'bronies'. /co/ is a SFW board, but like all of 4chan that designation is of little value. An example of a cartoon that a majority of /co/ loves to shit all over, aside from Ponies of course, is My Life Me: which can only be described as a weeaboo trainwreck which can literally give you mental problems. But I digress, I took a plane from /b/ International to /co/ municipal and as soon as I landed I found my specimen: an infamous general thread. Some people belive it to be non-sequitor nonsense and it's horrible, which is half true, the other half is a shared sense of camraderie which is infectious and can make these threads quite a treat. This is the HSG. Homestuck General. A plane of shit levels, a mountain of fetish porn. HSG is a often full of arguments, which vary in importance and controversy. One of the most frequent arguments to be had within HSG is the practice of placing the characters of Homestuck in various types of fantasy relationships, which is known as 'shipping'. Another is "X IS THE BEST CHARACTER" which usually devolves into who is the biggest bastard: ==> Eridan ==> Vriska ==> Gamzee (Top 3 biggest bastards, according to HSG)
