That bolded bit has always been exceptionally rare and it's always been the people in this thread who like this character who feel free to personally attack other people for having different views about her, as demonstrated by, among other things, this post, by you, just now.

I mean Vriska's a fantastic character and I love her hilariously heroic adventures and all but I think we all as Vriska fans could maybe stand to recognize that criticism of her isn't actually a personal attack on us and doesn't give us the right to attack them.

I mean maybe it's just me but I'm looking over the last hundred posts' worth of this thread and while a lot of people are indeed sharing their inexplicable inability to appreciate this character, often even quite vehemently expressing their incorrect viewpoint, I'm not really seeing the part where like Solid Snake goes "and VRISKA FANS are terrible too, HATE HATE HATE." But I am seeing IG going on about boo-hoo-hooing fanboy rage.

I mean come on guys, don't we owe it to ourselves - no - don't we owe it to Vriska to do better?

Fifth, you realize that you gave an example of that exact type of behavior, right there, in trying to go, "We don't do this!", right?

Yeah that part was kind of a spur of the moment bit that was pushing it too far, (a little bit of over-exaggeration for emphasis, as I was hoping was obvious, but it was in bad taste) for which I apologize. I was getting aggravated in general and being rude.

Yeah you are right, while I meant to only criticize the views of people who dislike Vriska, calling that viewpoint inexplicable really was lapsing back into exactly the sort of personal attack on them I was decrying.

I mean I still can't say that I personally understand how they don't appreciate such an excellent character but referring that view inexplicable was just getting a little insulting, so yeah, Snake et al, my bad, guys.

I think Andrew is taking slight advantage of the Homestuck-allusion thing by trying to fuck with our minds.

The boo-hoo fanboy rage thing was not in reference to the Vriska debate, but about the fact, that whenever I entered the thread I had to read at least one post whining about the recent direction Homestuck has taken, while I can actually understand those people to a degree, and in some cases even agree, I don't have to hear the same complaints from the same person over and over again expressed in the most annoying from they can come up with. If I'm the only one in the slightest annoyed by this, then please tell me, and I'll shut up.

By the by, posts like my boohooohooooooooooo waaaaaaaaah post above are the reason I have this nice little disclaimer in my sig. While it does convey my opinion it's best to take it with a little dose of humor. I do that sometimes.
