It's an "everyone sucks" scenario. Hussie is the King of Trolls, and as a result some things they, and by extension some of the team, can't be taken at face value without realizing there is more going on that just isn't being said. Gio is just extrapolating intent where there isn't any from the fact that Hussie has been changing up the status quo to try to revitalize the older days of the community, (pre-antifans) and also get the community onboard with the potential animated relaunch. They have gone a bit too far with some of the attempts (see the Discord/Reddit fiasco) and have engaged in mild (repeat MILD) reputation laundering with the HICU which is actually pretty common with media properties, (cough Critical Role, cough, Hellaverse, cough D&D, cough MCU, cough.) Also, trying to rebuff further archival before a reboot is nothing new. DC Comics has done it almost every reboot of it's continuity. However, Gio is combining these things out of their cultural and media literacy contexts with his own personal experience since the Odd Gentleman situation and his own personal hatred of Hussie, a hatred that has left the ironic hatred that most Homestucks have of Hussie and looped around to sincere hatred.

Anyway, that's our take.
