The twitter post announcing the official homestuck discord did mention that one would be made. It's been around a month now if I'm not mistaken with no updates. Is this (Gio situation and who made SaHCon make editorial decisions on who was allowed to be involved they did not want to make- seemingly resulting in the team cancelling the event in future-) going to be clarified soon? The misanthrope in me is starting to think that they (homestuck team, Hussie, et. al) aren't actually planning on saying anything and are just sort of waiting for this to blow over, because nothing that could be said would explain anything in a way that makes Homestuck less at fault here. I really hope that's not the case but I don't think I can keep holding out for much longer.
MAYBE. BuT PROBABLY NOT. HuSSIE uSuALLY WAITS THESE THINGS OuT AND IT WORKS OuT FOR THEM. YOu CAN BE HOPEFuL BuT I WOuLDNT BET ON IT. THE WHOLE THING SuCKS THOuGH AND EVEN HuSSIE JuST SAYING SORRY WOuLD MAKE ME FEEL A LOT BETTER :T

"nothing that could be said would explain anything in a way that makes Homestuck less at fault here" is exactly right. We haven't really got any reason to believe Gio's chatlogs are fake, Miles's initial response didn't even suggest as much, and dragging this shit up yet again would do...what, exactly? There's no secret "Gio is lying" evidence, the only thing Homestuck has ever been able to give us since the Sarah Z stuff is that they think Gio is a dick, and that doesn't actually make anything that's been said about the company untrue. It is absolutely in their best interest to say nothing at all, and I was shocked and got a serious sinking feeling when they even suggested addressing the UHC stuff officially.
The most they could do is correct the claims about FRAF and HICU being secretly entirely under Andrew's control and Gio essentially accusing Hussie of being a cult leader. I don't think the names and official classifications of stuff on the UHC and the discord server and such are really much evidence for Gio's claims, and I feel that he had almost no basis making the same allegations of FRAF (and his evidence for the cult thing is basically just saying "Psycholonials is real and thinks the jubilites are correct"). Even that would be conspicuously talking around the issue, which is that they sent a DMCA over a personal grudge and hurt a passionate fan developer and their project which massively helped the accessibility of Homestuck, which sucks. If they retract the DMCA, that would be a good thing, but I feel like they're not gonna do that.
I have no idea what's going on with SAHcon. It doesn't look good, but they never even hinted that they'd talk about that, so I have no reason to even speculate on that. Whoever was responsible for Funk McLovin being removed fucking sucks, I'll say that much.

As has been clarified the to me, the SaHCon staff have stated that the licensing did not play a role in their decision to end the event. The editorial concern then is a bit of a moot point though it would still be ideal to know because it was done without clear communication as to who made that call and for what reason
oh man i didnt even hear about the sahcon stuff
what happened
are they not gonna do it anymore?
yes sir the earth is literally under seige by planet fucking jupiter
oh i didnt read closely enough
that sucks
yes sir the earth is literally under seige by planet fucking jupiter
