I dunno about Cynthia's legal threats against other Locals users but, as to the people mad at the Farms, I think the chances of Nick being the attorney of record in a fight against KF are practically nill. He'd take a even bigger hit to his cred, and would ultimately be seen as little better than somebody like Keffals. Null also seems to be trying really hard to stay mostly neutral in this, and if Nick were to send him paperwork that would be the death knell for what remains of that relationship.It’s two things, they idolize Nick for being an attorney, and think attorneys are all powerful beings from the upper crust of society. They also think Nick is their friend so they behave like they are asking their lawyer friend for advice, secretly hoping he will take on their case pro-bono. Aspiring paralegal parasociopaths.
Nick is caught between a rock and a hard spot here. On the one hand, he knows that what's happening here is basically what KF has always done. To wit, the archiving capability of this site paid huge dividends during Weebwars (until Ty fucked everything up). Everything was kosher when it was KV being monitored and mocked. It's only when it became about him and his that we become "bottom feeders." What changed? Only the target. Not the methodology or standards as to what the site finds funny.
On the other hand, he also knows that if he advises his new friends to tone down their degeneracy, so they're no longer the target of so much ridicule, it would be spoiling what he calls "the fun." This is the crowd he likes and wants to hang with now. Them toning it down would run contrary to what he's looking for.
I think the whole going into "secret" Discord servers is tacit recognition on his part that he can't really do much other than trying to make it somewhat harder, but never impossible, for us to point and laugh at his gaggle of retards.
So, in the end, if one or more of these idiots decides they're gonna "take down the Farms," they're gonna get mocked ruthlessly, and he's probably just gonna stand there with a dopey look on his face and let it happen. What else can he really do?
