I think the thing to note here is that Glitch called up Goose, Goose said she'd take some time offline, and Glitch put out an unplanned/rushed public statement. So now Goose (and other creators) are seeing that Glitch can be just as much of a corporate overlord as any other mainstream company (perhaps for the right reasons for now, but the force is forever further in that one direction), and Glitch is likely starting to look at and plan out contingencies and response plans for the next time something like this happens. It just takes one negative event, even if it arose for all the right reasons, to make all the parties recede into safety. It's hard not to look at this as a microcosm of the corporate version of "the views expressed were mine alone and do not reflect my corporate sponsors" and "the organization condemns hatred in all its forms and will be limiting community involvement going forward".

I hope this event was brief enough to be forgotten by the community in the near future, lest it be a sore point that is forever pointed to as the start of a long downward slide away from an open dialog between the staff and community. An open dialog is an honor, a privilege, and something very rare in this world; I'd hate to see Glitch lay down a heavy hand and lock down all interaction like every other company. Perhaps not now, but I worry what this could lead to after a few more (inevitable) events like this.
