Victor Mignogna v. Funimation Productions, LLC, et al. (2019) - Vic's lawsuit against Funimation, VAs, and others, for over a million dollars.

[Mr. 0]

...What happened to Martinez-Hsu?

 

[AnOminous]

I have a friend, that, unlike the lazy bum I am, works 60-80 hour weeks and can't comb through dozens of hours of streams and hundreds of pages of Farms threads to get a comprehensive picture of how the entire Mignogna case/Weeb Wars saga played out including Beard's incompetence. Are there any comprehensive videos out there that cover the whole thing including Rekieta and Beard's fuckery?

Thanks.

Sadly, no. There are just a bunch of faggots being angry.

 

[Obsul]

Sadly, no. There are just a bunch of faggots being angry.

Seems like there's a need for someone to make a comprehensive video, then. Something for me to think about.

This is bullshit. He was falsely accused and in any sane world he would have won. But we don't live in one of those.

I don't believe this was out and out malicious behavior on Nick's part. But part of me believes he saw the writing on the wall. However, all his chat babies on YT wanted to hear is "we gonna win" and so Nick delivered that.

Again, I guarantee that Nick's drinking habit has formed, in part, because he feels guilty for falsely raising everyone's hopes while taking their donations.

Of all people in today's fucked up world, lawyers are probably most familiar with just how corrupt the system is. Nick would never have made the money he was making if he hadn't otherwise filled everyone with false hope.

Or maybe Nick needs to pull a Chris Kyle and say he had no regrets. I would think so, but the alcohol tells me he is dealing with guilt.

I don't either. Possibly this incredible injustice is what broke his mind.

To be honest, I blame Nick Rekieta for making all of this shit into a spectacle. If he were to shut the fuck up and let the lawyers do their thing, Vic would have been in a better position, also possibly hiring a better lawyer than Ty Beard for literally performing every malpractice in the book. It took me a while to process all of this, but yeah, Vic REALLY needs to sue his lawyer for malpractice.

 

[Apteryx Owenii]

I have pointed out in the past that Vic would probably have had an easier life if he hadn't done that.

I think trying to play the pious soft-spoken choir boy while horndogging around may have also been part of the reason people were willing to screw him over.

Like when I said "Vic's going to lose this lawsuit"?

I find myself in a weird position because I thought the Vic lawsuit was a bad idea but am rooting for the upcoming kiwi lawfare, even though they're both based on similar claims. Makes me wonder if I was just biased against anime (I find this acceptable).

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

the appeal would have been successful. If

The appeal was never going to be successful the moment COVID happened. Let me stress to anyone who doesn't know:

The appeallate court after COVID had a massive backlog of cases. They saved Vic's case for LAST. They ruled on several cases that happened AFTER Vic's. Why? Because the docket was 2000+ pages of pure fucking autism and they refused to look at it. They were DESPERATE for any fucking excuse to write this off and throw it in the trash can. Why? Because like everyone else, they're lazy fucking arse holes.

 

[AnotherPleb]

I find it absolutely hilarious how the tables have turned concerning Nick and Ty. For the past couple of years it was nothing but dick riding for these two chucklefucks and wishful thinking on every board concerning this shit show.

"It's a slam dunk case!" everyone thought. "Trust me, bro. Vic just needs to appeal" people said.

Now Vic is neck deep in debt because of these two idiots, with Ty off doing who knows what and Nick getting rich off of superchats while niggers run a train on his wife.

I sincerely hope Vic can come back from this someday and he gets to work on that voice acting studio of his.

Nick isn't making shit in superchats anymore after burning his entire audience.

I wonder what particular quirk in his mind makes him so mad about that. Something like half of all people with law degrees do not practice. It's just a thing. Why's he so mad about it? He literally could spend a couple hours a month on pro bono shit and call himself a practicing lawyer. But he doesn't. And then gets mad.

What a dumb faggot.

I'm betting his parents have brought up how he isn't using that degree for anything in private.

 

[Sheryl Nome]

you call can whine about the appeals court or chupp all you like, but there's only one man who is at fault here.

And that is Ty Beard for fucking up the pleadings so hard he failed to make a prima facie case. Ty Beard created this disaster with his incompetence.

 

[Focken Kiwi]

Don’t forget his brilliant legal analysis of “there’s like three more people in the room than I expected, so, yeah, Vic is a public figure”. I can’t figure out why no court in the US ever adopted this brilliant legal standard.

Attorneys defending against defamation lawsuits throughout Texas are now celebrating this precedent. The only thing they have to do now to establish the accusing party is a public figure is hire spectators off of the street.

the precedent of 'It turns out you have to file your fucking motions in time and not fuck up notarizing witnesses statements?'

Thats the only precedent that was set here. The precedent is that to make a Prima Facie case you have to... Actually make your case.

 

[Terrifik]

At least we saw end to this lawsuit .
Instead comic gate lawsuit which ended in Mark waid gag agreement.

My comment was made in jest at Chupp's reasoning for a person being a public figure.

Chupp literally spent 15 minutes in the hearing before dismissing it.

 

[变性黑鬼]

But these fat ugly whores who have accused him are not remotely his type. Anyone who thinks he was ever attracted to Jamie Marchi is literally retarded.

What is his type though?

He's fucking 61 now, and I think he's been a Sex Guy since he hit middle age (kind of like Rekieta has been). He may not have been overly infatuated with these dumpy Western VAs, but I think he is primarily into women as conquests. Like Bateman, but wrinklier.

Like a lot of these aging pseudo-celebs (e.g. Chris D'elia if that name rings a bell), he's careful not to do anything illegal, but his main goal was to smash the boxes that were unattainable to his fans. Further elevating his reputation among his audience by doing so.

The time he tried to bed the Convention Twins is what reinforces this view of the facts. I clearly remember Rekieta going "WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BED TWINS? IT'S THE ULTIMATE FANTASY! *drinks whisky*" Rekieta was pulled along in the box-smashing paradigm maelstrom. I remember thinking the exact same thing at the time. All these food-pregnant whores are just mad that they were box-smashed by a true sigma male.

I think they were trying to warn their community about this Sex Guy in a clumsy and defamatory way, and ended up catching a lawsuit for their efforts. That may seem cruel to Vic, but how badly do you have to mistreat women for them to start saying anything they can to get you out of their life?

This is all just my wacky theory that Vic is Gay+, that's where you start seeing women as holes that increase your reputation stats.

And the tragic thing about it is that Vic is going to be dealing the sex pest/predator allegations for the remainder of his life due to Beard. A lot of people here and elsewhere online does know what really happened to Vic but not everyone.

Other people will just see the end result of the lawsuit and assume everything KickVic says is true. Regardless of what you may personally think of Tim Pool he used a phrase to describes these types that I agree with: Low-information individuals.

You gotta look at it on a case by case basis. Lot of variables.

I have a suspicion that a lot of the people saying Vic's defamation suit was gay and dumb, are secretly wishing/thinking that Monty will win his defamation suit against Rekieta. I've seen people talk like they think these things are always a dumb idea, like the lawtwitter twat earlier in the thread, but I dunno if they actually believe that.

I don't think your can draw a universal judgement about defamation suits in general from this or any other case. Sometimes they do work. Depp v. Heard and Dominion vs. Fox are two recent examples.

You don't give Chupp enough credit for his utter failure and apathy for his job.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

Anyone who thinks he was ever attracted to Jamie Marchi is literally retarded.

You can tell the reason she gets casts as whores so often is because she desperately wants to self-insert as women who can actually get men to find them attractive.
