i gotta admit, homestuck as a thing only for kiddos does baffle me slightly, mostly because the story format is a send-up of old text adventure games, which is a genre that has not been in the popular public imagination for a hot goddamn minute. a twelve year old doesn't know what zork is, lol. i *barely* do and i'm 30.
i mean, i still personally find homestuck odious, overgrown, and needing a machete taken to it for a ruthless edit to be readable, but i'm not sure why it's kiddie fodder.
@wigglytuffitout Like, the whole initial set-up for the story was a pastiche of Typical Long-Term Online Friendships Via Chat Messengers, which is a thing from like, people who were kids in the late '90s, not kids *now*
@wigglytuffitout Trollian is a spin-off of Trillian! How many of the so-called "target demographic" of "kids" even know what the fuck Trillian is?? 
@wigglytuffitout I don't, either. Almost everyone who read it for the first like four acts was at least college-age. The kids didn't pick it up until the trolls went viral on tumblr in late act 5
