@Dingus come on lmao "If that was the case, why wait years to do it?" - it's already been established that Hussie was allowing it and promoting it as the VIZ site was down (and, frankly, Bambosh was the face of UHC at the beginning, I didn't even know Gio was involved until this whole thing). The site is still down, but clearly they've been able to wrestle back control and is in the process of getting it working again. At least one person working on the site has said that they think it'll be up in the near future and VIZ left a MESS.

It's also interesting that you consider "control over fans and fandom" as... letting people host your work on their own websites... letting people create brands around distributing your work while talking shit. this is one dude who's been a problem and bad actor since 2019. I don't know if you were there but people who saw the shit he pulled then know better than to believe him now.

If you want to be a critic and gossip blog, maybe don't also be reliant on them letting you break the law!
