Yeah honestly the fact Gio keeps editing the damn article really irritates me. Maybe I'm just being petty. The pronoun updates and removing the "joke" are objectively good edits, and at this point I also think a lot of the more egregious comparisons likening Hussie and Miles to domestic abusers have also been removed for good reason. I guess he has no problem making edits to his articles when people other than Andrew Hussie have a problem...?


But also it just allows them to shift tone and move the goalpost on their arguments. One of the major rewrites they posted (under the Hostile Takeover banner) makes it more clear that it's not really about the takedown of the UHSC (which didn't even happen), but the trying to assume control over it, and the aggressive legal behavior from Hussie's side. While I'm not really a fan of blunt legal action trying to cut the software out from under a developer, I'm having trouble buying this specific argument because...I mean come on dude, there was no way they would let Gio continue to host Homestuck on the SAME WEBSITE where they are talking mad shit about the people who worked on it. That's not an unreasonable ask and it also doesn't seem like it's some grand betrayal if that wasn't made obvious from the start as negotiations became more serious. I just don't know about all that.
