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??????????????????????????????????******************************

I agree too. I love this forum because it feels like most of the people like me (people who have been in the fandom for 10+ years and are wise to this bullshit already) are all like congregating here to shit on these bad actors.

i dont knoww gio personally so this is essentially useless analysis but the read i get of him means that i dont think this guy is a sock puppet account for twwo reasons

1) i think if gio wwas going to defend himself on the forums he wwould do it under his owwn name

2) i don't think he wwould feel the need to defend himself on the forums in the first place


but maybe i am just gio sock puppet 2 0_0


either wway this thread is really funny to read

I have been critical, I think Gio is melodramatic and a muckracker who likes drama, and none of that justifies what Hussie did to him and bamboosh.

Ashamed to admit that I didn't realize this was the same guy until someone else commented on it. Well played, sir.

"I think gio is a melodramatic muckraker" -uncritically fights to the death for him-

Im sorry i had to look up what a Muckraker was but I was under the impression Gio was just "Some guy with a blog" is he like an actual journalist or something?

Also that is such a funny thing to call him when the 'corruption' he's 'exposing' is for a shit post webcomic series that has insane lore such as "ICP were dual presidents and Guy Fieri was the anti-christ" I would think you could only like be a muckraker...for serious things.

@Spinstress he is Nawt an actual journalist - he calls himself one because it makes him seem important/impartial when he is unfortunately none of those things. ancient (i hope...) is intentionally trolling by making it seem like he could be or wants to appear as if hes gio to "waste our time," but what ancient likely doesn't realize is that every time we have a round of back and forth here it pushes Carmi's thread to the top of the lists, thus amplifying it :)

@sword I'm guessing because the newer fans have started to actually discuss Homestuck again in a civil manner on reddit, that the usual angry trolls who were getting their quick dopamine hit from making other people just as angry as they were about this whole situation had to find somewhere else to get it. I'll never really understand trolls (ironic) But as time drags on eventually they'll stop run out of energy. I mean, no offense but there's not much else to really discuss on the matter.


Cami's post was good IMO bc her photo added more context to the conversation that Gio had intentionally cropped out. Something a lot of parasocial Gio supporters seem to look past for some reason...

if I say he’s like a journalist I don’t mean that as praise. you could easily imagine the articles being on buzz feed or meduim dot com. but combined with sarah z’s testimony they paint a bleak picture

I could not imagine that, because the article reads like a very long-winded twitlonger.

At this point, it's somehow less embarrassing if you are just Gio

y'know, i wasn't expecting to wake up in the middle of the night and see the worlds most fervent Gio defender putting on an ATLAS GODDAMN SHRUGGED pfp. Which singlehandedly makes me never want to listen to him about anything ever. But I'm not complaining.

WAIT, THE FUCKING GIO DEFENDER also randomly showed up in my calliope thread and just said "awful boring character", without explaining why he thinks that, or anything that'd like, promote discussion.

Yeah I saw that shit too. Weird of them to take a break from only gio defending to post that.
