I did just discover something strange: if you do a google image search for "even now there is hope for man" (without quotes) I get a notable amount of Homestuck cosplayers, including Elegant Gothic Lolita Dave.
"Hussie’s commentary in Homestuck volume 3 implies that Dad was banned from Cirque du Soleil because he saw a really hairy guy and couldn’t control his urge to shave him and he broke out the Barbasol."
