As a person who liked Homestuck and read it entirely on his own time and wasn't aware of any of the community stuff: Saying things like this is narrow-minded as hell and i don't understand why you would even say something like that. All it seems to do is prop yourself up to be higher than someone who comes in later. Will a person who didn't read it in realtime get a different experience? Sure. Does it mean it's pointless to do so? No. Why would it? In some aspects it may even be a better experience. Trying to claim "you can't become a beatles fan anymore" is just nonsensical. It sounds like something an _ebooks twitter account would generate and less like a coherent human thought. It feels like you wear the "be a fan" thing as a badge of honor, instead of just meaning "i like something".
