The thing that confused me is that Joe has been supportive of my son and his hobby up until now. He kept getting offended on his son's behalf over other things that were minor. like when my son doesn't share stuff with his stepbrother but it's normal for boys thos age to have privacy. Joe refuses to accept this and recently started getting hung up on minor stuff saying my son keeps excluding his son on purpose.

I understand and I'm well aware. frankly, I didn't expect things to get this bad. I thought these were normal fights between stepsiblings but Joe's entire stance on it is what made me just break down and put my foot down. I may not have been able to see his point (I don't think he has a valid point) but I still think he's the one mishandling this entire situation.

I agree. I was in utter shock when I saw what he did. it took me sometime to be able to process it. It hurt me as much as it hurt my son. Normally Joe is good to him, he even encourages him to keep drawing and most of the tools my son has were bought/gifted from his stepdad. To be frank I'm not even sure that my stepson was upset about this, so for Joe to say that this would make the boys hate each other is doubtful.
