In topic: "My full conversation with Gio"

"One of the reasons i loathe speculation" Gio says as he is about to publish an article full of speculation. I find this very funny, Thank you Cami for sending the full logs, it's very nice of you. I was a bit worried when you posted what came after for a second, but there isn't much of substance Gio said here. Heck this isn't even much of an interview.


On the conversation itself, it ended a lot quicker than i thought. It was basically just the same leading question constantly being pushed on you. I admittedly assumed that You and Gio had more of a conversation. I don't like how Gio wrote in the article that Hussie might have influence over FRAF, if not now then in the future (Far too much to speculate about with lacking information, Like Gio can't tell that with any degree of certainty, it's at best an educated guess.), considering the fact the most influence the HICU has on FRAF is Miles being in it to handle communications between HICU and FRAF. (And Miles has worked as a direct liaison to Hussie, which as I've stated before i think was a bad idea. Hussie should've gotten someone else to do that who wasn't a part of the HICU after it officially became a thing.) Like i know that Gio has (admittedly good reasons) to assume the HICU is under the influence and control of Hussie (even if just in a Hussie can come in and mandate things to go a certain way in the HICU) But FRAF seems to lack that outside of reasonably of not wanting to piss off Hussie for no reason. So yeah. As I've stated before, Gio really should've delayed the HICU article and maybe reworked it to focus more on past events than current ones he knows nothing about and apparently had no time to look into for whatever reason. (and i mean for whatever reason, i looked into it a bit more here, warning it's 2k words long and it's a reply that transformed into a blog post as i wrote it. Like jeez there's citations, sidenotes, and tangents. https://www.fruityrumpus.com/forums/reply/689ab86eeb0e1f3bca3b6454)


So yeah, this is just bad journalism, the best reasoning i have as to why he did this was because he for whatever reason wanted the articles out by 8/8, no matter what. Which again, is bad journalism. The UHC article doesn't really have this specific problem (It's biased, but that's because it's based on his personal experiences and it's made obvious to the reader, so i have no issues with that. I trust people to realize Gio's obviously displayed bias even if they fully take his side in this.)


Also as a sidenote: i really like the fact Gio went in and corrected a grammar mistake in the about section, how nice of them lmao. (Also again, why is Gio getting information that's this important 2 days before releasing his HICU article, it's very sloppy, not what his writings usually are. Even reading it i felt it was a bit sloppy, especially at the Vast Error bit, literally 1 sentence, why was it a heading.)
