I've been overwhelmed by the amount of attention this is getting and so I've made some organizational edits and rewritten some insensitive language. This should better communicate what this is about and highlight some points I'd only made later in the article. blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/08...

I understand why you are updating this, and I think it's a good thing to do. But I think it is a little gross how some poor language choices are being used to gloss over the message warning people of a litigious abuser who snuffs out any perceived threat to their brand.

This should go without saying, but the purpose of this article is not to insult people with cheap stereotypes but to fully explain the serious issues that have happened with The Unofficial Homestuck Collection. If I've missed anything please let me know and I'll fix it.

No, this wasn't timed against the animation announcement, a secret thing I did not know about. No, the animation announcement was not somehow "damage control" for this. No, nobody involved in the animation could have reacted to this.

I think it's understandable that some unfortunate language would've slipped through considering how upsetting the nature of the situation was, but good on you for coming back and actually reconsidering how important that language wasn't to the core of the issue.

I'm literally nobody in all of this, and at the end of the day, it's a he said they said, but there are and have been patterns of behavior from Hussie going back over a decade that make me more inclined to listen to what you have to say. The name Bill Bolin comes to mind, maybe he had a point.

Apologies if this isn't the best avenue to let you know, but there's still some inconsistent pronoun usage in the paragraph beginning "As soon as they get my signature..." under the "Back to Work - June-July 2024" heading.

Hi! Sorry for the blank avatar but I made a bsky account to ask: are you transgender? I'm trans and I'm trying to figure out if this means that Hussie has been claiming to support the trans community this whole time while weaponizing transphobia against ppl they don't like.

Yeah I wouldn't want to be too aggressive about this, and I don't want to be any part of the problem, but fuck his avoidant behavior and fuck his aggressive legal bullshit. Hope you're doing alright outside of this.
