my current stance is that gios "article" is a callout post and as such inherently not trustworthy
too often have those been made in excrutiatingly bad faith or even fabricated entirely
especially when aimed at marginalised people
(i dont like calling this transmisogyny bc to my knowledge hussie has never claimed trans womanhood (or even transfeminity?) explicitly and as an nb i honestly find the TMA TME thing often enbyphobic, at least how its used)
(no i do not want to argue about that)

however since my understanding is that there indeed is a stained history on hussies end on management and behaviour (i came to the fandom somewhat late so its grapevine only, so i am not married to this information)
i dont feel comfortable to look at the situation uncritically

which is why i would LIKE an official statement and more information

however i also think that we are not owed this and i could not fault [Homestuck] (whatever form that takes) if they choose not to do that

if there is truth in gios recount then i would say that was indeed not hussie playing nice
but neither has gio been and given both of their history i can fully understand that neither of them did

i think hussie is fully within her rights to pursue legal action about their work
i also understand if that is seen as kind of a dick-move

but i do also find it sorta silly to use that to call hussie and miles abusers

PS: the argument ive seen that a non-adressment shows guilt is flawed as hell

and the argument that other people are only not talking about things due to NDAs and that shows guilt even more so
bc while yes, accounts of mistreatment could very well be prevented from being shared per NDA, so could accounts to disprove gios arguments
bc if noone may talk about it then gio can just as much make shit up without talkbacks

-------------------------

ultimately i just think that its not productive to spin in circles on this whole drama bc we simply do not have the full, unbiased picture
