My only regret was never getting to see an UPDATE post before Cascade, when I assume it was much more furious.
Well, that was just chaos all around. Hussie knew it would be big, so he posted it on Newgrounds and not MSPA proper, but that crashed so people who had it in advance like the art team were streaming it on like justin.tv (pretty sure it wasn't Twitch yet). I eventually saw it for the first time several hours after it actually went up because Hussie just posted a link to a zip file with all the stuff in it.
I still have a folder called "cascade_download" on my old desktop.
I am gonna make a guess and say the first page with the million tags is supposed to be a goof but fuck me a lot of those tags are serious issues and it's in poor taste to include them in a goof? Like... funny tags on fanfic are fun, why do you gotta bring it down?
Also while it's pretty serious I think it makes sense that we gotta deal with this stuff; gotta defeat the bad guy, gotta deal with somoe serious shit like emotions and grief. I DO like the format of it as fan fiction, though.
finally, andrew hussie is here with Something To Say about fanfiction

The story itself seems fine so far, not really anything super exciting but not bad either
The AO3 tag "gag" isn't very funny and i don't like what it indicates as far as learning anything from the multiple times this same mistake has been made
Backpedaling for damage control is a dumb idea. I suspect the honest reply would be: "We thought we should tag some stuff because that's how fanfiction sites do it, and also we thought the tags were a good opportunity to include some jokes, plus the meta-joke is that whoever is writing the fanfiction doesn't mean those things as jokes, which adds characterisation."
Being all "no this is totally sincere" just comes off as patronising.

Hussie postin like 50 pages in a single day like a madman. This thread absolutely losing its shit constantly. It ruled.

Ok it’s good to be back
Yeah that was my problem with Act 6. Too many walls of text. This is not a favorable evolution
Hopefully we get pictures later.
Heh.
It might be that this is Homestuck agreeing with you.
i'd almost respect that

1) its exactly how fanfiction is formatted
2) its real things in the story.
That's why you have tags like "clown dynamics" and "honk" and fucking "black romance" lumped in the same section as rape and child abuse.
Fuck off.

By putting content that is blatantly intended to be trivial in with actually serious stuff, it is implicitly mocking the idea of content warnings.
And I have absolutely no reason to give Homestuck, of all things, the benefit of the doubt on this.
