Given the absolutely awful way that Hussie + his companies have interacted with others for years, I genuinely do believe that Gio is being truthful in what happened, but I do still very much believe that Gio's report on it is incredibly biased. I also know that the folks involved with the HICU are very very much proponents of creative freedom as many of them themselves have done things like made Homestuck merch, fan adventures, etc. So I look forward to seeing what folks have to say on it! Sugar to the mods, I hope folks don't stress y'all out too much here.
