i saw a response on cami's thread https://www.fruityrumpus.com/forums/t/my-full-conversation-with-gio-1?page=2 that i rly agree with and wanted to push
RE: "This conversation is bizzare to me because it's predicated on the idea Gio has some sort of basic human right to distribute copyrighted material (the asset pack) without a license for money (Gio has a Patreon). (via user bluebootyranger)"
LITERALLY THIS. WHY DO PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM KEEP SAYING IT WAS "SHITTY" OF ANDREW HUSSIE TO USE LEGAL THREATS AGAINST GIO WHEN GIO CLAIMS ANY FORM OF AUTHORITY OVER 8000 PAGES OF WORK ANDREW HUSSIE MADE WITH THEIR OWN HANDS (bambosh made the original tech for the unofficial collection btw). UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCE IS ANDREW HUSSIE'S, OR *ANYBODY'S* WORK SOME KIND OF PUBLIC RESOURCE THAT JUST ANY OLD SHMUCK WHO WALKS IN CAN CLAIM OR PROFIT OFF OF??? LIKE DUDE. EVEN IF ANDREW HUSSIE'S ONLY REASON FOR DMCAING GIO IS BECAUSE HE SIMPLY DOES NOT LIKE HIM, THATS... FINE????????!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!! ITS A "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE" SITUATION, AND FRANKLY INSTEAD OF THREATENING HIM AT ALL HE SHOULD HAVE SKIPPED STRAIGHT TO FUCKING COURT. I CANT STAND PEOPLE ACTING LIKE CREATORS SHOULD ALWAYS BE NICE TO THEIR FANS JUST BECAUSE THEY OWE US? THEY DONT OWE US SHIT, THEY MADE THE FUCKING WORK.
PEOPLE ARE FORGETTING THAT CREATORS, ESPECIALLY ONLINE CREATORS, DONT REALLY HAVE MUCH RECOURSE AGAINST BAD ACTORS WHO TAKE CREDIT FOR THEIR WORK BESIDE LEGAL. LIKE WTF ARE YOU EXPECTING, *******************A COOKIE??????????????????????????????????******************************

It's like Homestuck but during Antebellum slavery.
@Dream I personally struggle... heavily... to imagine a circumstance where I would give up being officially sponsored and collaborating with the actual creator of the project I was putting so much alleged effort into hosting a mirror of. Especially in order to save a blog post that frankly, most people don't even read anymore, they just go to someone else's youtube summary of it.
If anything it kind of really nails down Gio's goals if that's how he saw things. He didn't actually care about Homestuck that much, he just wants infamy from putting out "speculative blog posts". They clearly said from Gio's own description that he would have been able to rewrite said posts with updated sources, which if he was a real journalist would have been an opportunity to jump on. Because being able to say that he has NEW versions of his articles (that obviously SOMEONE would have saved somewhere else, come on) with information approved/given by ANDREW HUSSIE THEMSELVES would be the scoop of a lifetime. Even if it's exclusively retractions, he would be able to claim that everything left in the new articles is OFFICIAL. Which means they would be able to compare befores and afters on the reddit or wherever Gio's followers(?) are and speculate even more. It would mean that they would get even more attention and views to his posts, and then of course some people will want to see the originals and be able to find them. Like this shit is quite simple.
Gio played himself so badly and only for his own ego.
And now, homestuck.kici.moe has gone down for maintenance and people on twitter and reddit are freaking out because they think the evil fan-hating boogeyman Hussie is at it again. Everyone say Thank You Gio!
And that's about it.
didnt you know? hussie is The Devil, From The Bible, so of course they took down homestuck mirror #12309482035273028730598 hosted by 13 year old jimmy from his bedroom in (looks at a random map with my eyes closed, points to a state, opens it) new mexico. obviously they have malintent and hate every single instance of their comic. a random discord screenshot of someone saying that hussie doesnt care about homestuck proves this !
It is true. I was there. Andrew Hussie personally killed the dinosaurs. They hunted them down to extinction.
The last T-rex said "Why, Hussie, why?" and Andrew said nothing but looked at it with dead, cold eyes before finishing it with the Kalachnikov.

@oasis_nadrama weren’t you arguing before that Hussie leaving the UHC up was him being super lenient about copyright? Now you’re saying that he’d never be so crass as to go after some nobody hosting a mirror of his work…?
tara and raven superfan
lbr and amend that statment to *some nobody (unlike someone who has a known track record of harassing him and his friends).
anyway objectively tho it's kind of hilarious to be able to legally go after someone you don't like. i think hussie should have done it just for the bit rip gio but that's what you get for being an ass
