> Gio very clearly goes on about how his "heart is pure and cause is righteous", says Hussie and Miles repeatedly lied and were nasty to him, but goes on about how he's "going to be as amenable as anyone possibly could be, and if they turned nasty again, it’d be them turning nasty again.".

to be fair gio did not simply say that this happened, gio showed evidence of it that does not seem to have yet been refuted as false, doctored, or even taken significantly out of context. at this point in the blog there are multiple documented instances of the negotiations vacillating from positive to pretty nasty.

>Furthermore, saying "I decided to play it out. If they were going to attack us I wouldn’t be able to stop them, but I determined the project wouldn’t collapse because I didn’t want to do the legwork." tries to make himself look like he's knowingly putting himself into a negative situation to be a hero. That's very clearly him trying to paint a picture of himself as good and Andrew AND Miles as the villains.

i do not agree that is clear. i felt that gio directly explained that he's knowingly putting himself in a negative situation because the UHC is a passion project that he feels very strongly about, which is backed up by all the free labor he was doing for the project before these negotiations ever started. if pointing that out makes him seem like a hero to andrew's villain (which is not my interpretation of events or what i think the article implies) then to me that says more about homestuck's behavior during the process.

>taking his evidence to the court of law
timeless responded to this very well, this is a non-starter for many reasons. regardless of what one thinks of the tone or framing, there is a very reasonable argument that publishing this was gio's most practical recourse
