I think it has to do with two things. Dickwolves and Child's Play. With the Dickwolves comic, what mattered is that if PA didn't submit to the whims of the "safe space" crowd, PA and Pax would be loudly shunned as much as humanly possible. If Pax goes down, PA goes down. If PA goes down, Child's Play goes down. I dont think Gabe and Tycho would defend PAX to the death, to see the good done with the charity go to shit.
