It's like Darksouls if you're familiar with that. It doesn't really have any lore, it just has a theme. People think it has to have lore, because the setting is so in depth, but it doesnt. Same with Homestuck. The setting is really developed, but nothing is explained. It's shallow. Wide as an ocean deep as a puddle. The side effect of this is people become convinced that the lore exists and try to piece it together themselves. Which is why Homestuck was so popular, not only with shippers, but with fan fiction and conspiracy writers as well. We'll never get to see any fruit to half of Homestuck's plot devices, but we weren't meant to.
If the series wasn't so popular, people would bash it for bad writing, but because it's popular, it lends credibility to the whole shebang.
