Jesus. I just realized that I now hear all of Nick's tweets in my head as his Ron Soye voice. His transition to complete self-parody has been impressive.

 

[Himedall All-seeing Waifu]

No. This concerns Dick. He's incapable of being neutral on Dick.

As I said in the other thread, his first video on his Youtube channel was about the Maddox lawsuit. He initially created his channel because of Dick.


Dude, let's not kid ourselves here. He'd side with Dick regardless. On practically anything. The fact July is involved in this is almost irrelevant. You could replace July with literally anybody, and that would still be true. He might not like Vito as much, but Vito is a package deal with Dick, so he's gonna defend him in deference to Dick.

I do agree though that July's callout is gonna cause people to trigger his ODD. He's already saying stupid shit like Dick and Vito don't REALLY like Cuties.

You know his drug-riddled husk of a brain is just comtemplating saying something like "No guys, Dick and Pedo's....I mean Vito's, years long defense of Cuties was ironic. It was all jokes. You just don't understand because they're great comedians and you're not"

Nick's cope for Dick has always been, 'People do not understand his comedy!' This explanation always rankled with me, because it is basically the low brow complement of 'you are not sophisticated enough to appreciate it'. Dick provokes people for a reaction, and a reaction to outrageous behaviour is funny? I am not talking slapstick humour, but things the get very close to harassment or purposeful instigation. I never understood the appeal of the humour where you trick people into being angry, then you point and laugh, ' I got you cross! Hahaha! Joke on you!'. This is the same kind of behaviour that the kid in London who walked into random peoples' houses, cars, and the like that people would just find annoying and dangerous.

Taken on a more pragmatic level, if people 'do not understand' your comedy, you get booed off the stage and no one watched you or pays to see you. At least art snobs can point to some vaguely objective measure of value by virtue of antiquity or scholastic focus. I suppose this outlook might be welcoming to a creator who is rapidly losing relevance and audience. 'It is not MY fault! The people changed and want me to be something I am NOT!'

The Rippaverse does gangbusters crowdfunding for the first few thing(s), something like $5 mil.

Rippa was building up for the crowd funding announcement for a long time (one year + of waiting) and actually invested a lot of his own money before the crowd funding went live. That's why a lot of people support him.

 

[Captain Manning]

I don't know how, I don't know why, but thanks to the Rekieta Effect, Rippa's legal victory is all but assured at this point.

As funny as the "Rekieta effect" meme is, I'm not sure it's particularly logical. I think your earlier view of this was more so.

Besides, the Rekitea effect isn't always right. Just mostly. He did, after all, correctly predict Maddox losing. My takeaway from that, and many other things, it's it's really hard for plaintiffs to win these things.

Understand, I certainly think if would be funny if Dick and Vito got their shit pushed in by black comics guy. I'm hardly team Vito/Dick/Rekieta. It's just that I've seen too many of these things fall right on their ass.

I also think a lot is gonna come down to who July retains as counsel. If they are Ty Beard tier, July is fucked.

A squid could have predicted Maddox losing, in all fairness.

 

[Spaded Dave]

If Eric sued Dick/Vito he would and he should lose. If he won it would be funny, but it would have very unwanted legal ramifications if it rises to the level of precedence.

But for the meme of it, I'm going team Eric.

 

[Mr. Manchester]

Jesus he's looking rough. Don't know if he caught some bug or if the liquor is catching up with him but it looks like he hasn't slept in days.

 

[Captain Manning]

Sir, are you implying Mundane Matt has lower intellect than a squid?

No, but seriously, I don't disagree. Still, fair is fair. Nick is not always wrong, just mostly.

Frankly, the reason why I don't think anybody should put any stock in what Nick says about any of this is because he's got his head up Dick's ass. Find me a lawyer less bias, less inebriated, and less shit.

yeah, every "case" is always either right or wrong, Nick and everyone always have a 50% chance of being correct, but I don't believe for a second that Nick will report anything about this July vs Pedos drama fairly, fuck, he is even actually defending Vito now about the cuties stuff, that's a complete new low.

To be fair, a lot, if not most of the Farms is gonna back July in this because of our own collective bias against Vito. There's bias both ways. Yeah, Vito needs to be fed into a wood chipper (in Minecraft) for many reasons, but should he lose a lawsuit to July? I think those are two separate things.

What we really need is a another legal analysis guy to go over this and give a non-bias take, but I dunno if that's gonna happen, or if anybody like that even exists. Nick is clearly not that person. I don't think he would have the been the proper person even when he was popular. He's too close to Dick. Also, I think most people (correctly) recognize him as being a less than stellar lawyer now.

 

[feral cat #6385]

Maybe it can be called "Nick's Law". The more confident Rekieta is in a legal outcome, the more likely the opposite outcome will manifest.

Rekieta's Law.

Besides, the Rekitea effect isn't always right.

The Maddox case wasn't hard to call. That was also several years ago when Nick had more functional brain cells. What about the cases where Nick has skin in the game? How have the cases gone that Nick has instigated such as the Vic case and the Montegraph?

 

[SargonF00t]

Full Blown AIDS. It is known.

 

[Captain Manning]

The Maddox case wasn't hard to call. That was also several years ago when Nick had more functional brain cells. What about the cases where Nick has skin in the game?

Implying he didn't have skin in the game with Masterson. He was and is fan of Dick. He was a fan before he even had a Youtube channel. He created his Youtube channel because of the Maddox case. Because he couldn't get the same audience in Dick fan forums. He thought "well, I have a law degree, and I love Dick, so I can totally talk about this." It was, at least arguably, his first grift. His head swelled from the reception he got, and being right, and he graduated to things like Meyer v. Waid and the Vic case. He was rewarded for his service to Dick by being invited to Road Rages and whatnot. He's still enjoying the fruits of that labor from Dick. He'll soon be at Nashville.

Look, I'm not saying Maddox wasn't an easy call. It was. Only that he was right in spite of his obvious bias. Him making the right call there helped launch his online career. It help cement trust in him, early on. Especially among KF. Which paid dividends for follow-ons like Vic. I think one mistake he made was that he thought too highly of himself for being on the right side of history, and thought his predictions would always pan out. They clearly have not.

What's interesting about the Maddox case is Nick wasn't a "voice in the wilderness" like he was with Vic. Many other people in the online sphere with J.D.s thought Maddox's case was shit too. Notably Popehat, who put out a call for people to contribute to the defense fund of Asterios.

This is why I say Nick could be right here, in spite of his bias and general ineptitude, but determining whether he is would be a lot easier if somebody competent actually chimed in. I'd accept the "Rekieta effect" prediction a lot more if he defends Dick, and nobody else with a law degree does.

I do agree though that very early Nick was a lot closer to being right. I think maybe Tonkasaw was the last thing where he gave a truly thoughtful and almost completely accurate legal analysis. In fact, he published his first Vic video right after his last Maddox one. Here's a funny picture. On the left, you have a video that depicts something Rekieta could gloat over. On the right, the beginning of something that would ultimately cause him a lot of heartache and possibly end up breaking him (if you accept the theory that he started to go into the toilet hardcore because the appeal was denied).

 

[Chibitzen]

"Look at me using lawyer words. Will you notice me now, e-daddy? Can I come on your show and review legal topics with you?"

Be careful, the Creator might take that literally.

I'm not seeing the cause of action. Being a little snitch bitch and reporting someone to a trademark holder when the claim is pretty tenuous is seriously scummy, especially for no real reason (ISOM is a church and July's ISOM is a comic book and nobody reasonable would assume one meant the other). But I can't think of how it's illegal.

Some have said tortious interference but interference with what contract?

I think what makes it particularly scummy is the fact they pretended they were a reporter and pretended they thought that Rippa was connected to ISOM. That was specifically done to plant the idea there is consumer confusion between the mark, and July's character.

I think this would look considerably less bad if they had simply contacted the Ministry and said "Hey, FYI, some black dude has a character named ISOM and there's a Christian cross on his costume." Still gay, but considerably less gay.

Recall that Maddox rightfully got a rash of shit when he pulled that fake reporter shit on Kokkinos's employer and got him canned.

But you're right, what happened here could still be perfectly legal. I dunno. I will note that Kokkinos tried to get sanctions against Maddox and LanDUI but that didn't work out. Nor did he apparently countersue Maddox for that e-mail that got him fired.

Some have said tortious interference but interference with what contract?

I dunno. The reason why people are saying TI is because, at one point in his video, July leans in and emphasizes the word "interference."

 

[ChromaQuack]

The best revenge Eric could possibly have is working it out with the ministry and ending up doing an educational comic series for them.

No law faggotry these two can grift off of, no drama, just complete and utter victory to which the most they'll be able to squeeze is a "h--hh-he he ss-ssss-eeee we actually helped him!" while their innards boil internally from pure concentrated seethe.

Dick and Vito right now.

 

[Balldo's Gate]

Vito seems to approve of Nick's take on the lawsuit:

Jesus he's looking rough. Don't know if he caught some bug or if the liquor is catching up with him but it looks like he hasn't slept in days.

Nick looks and sounds terrible compared to before his vacation. His voice has sounded totally shot all week and he mentioned at the start of his most recent stream that he just realized he was wearing the same shirt as the previous night, which appears to be the case if you look at the last two streams.

(Thursday on the left, Friday on the right.)



If he's not just got a bad cold, there might be something going on.

Pretty sure there isn't one. And I don't think Eric July is stupid enough to try a defamation suit either.

What's happening is mutual grifting. July is whipping up his fans into a frenzy against Dick and Vito and his fans are getting the signal that July intends to file a lawsuit. Dick and Vito are pumping up the idea that July is going to sue them because he can't take mockery or criticism. This will fizzle when one or both sides conclude they have milked the maximum amount of attention out of the drama.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

July addressed the Nick stuff more directly.
