SmashJT should absolutely STFU and not talk about this anymore for his own good until after it's over.Never ever stop talking...I'm serious.
.. and, should SmashJT act like it's "shut the fuck up Friday" and not post a response? I realize attention whoring is, by very nature, the purpose of youtube but shouldn't he just shut the fuck up for once?
Right now, she has everything she really wants: all eyes are on her, the simp coefficient has gone through the roof, she's strapped on the retard explosive vest and she's ready to blast herself for the woke Jihad. She's partially reclaimed the relevance she lost after leaving Kotaku after every other attempt to build a soapbox failed (Twitch, Patreon, etc). After a brief period of feeling down after finding out, she's again in her favorite spot: fucking around. Of course, chances are this will backfire spectacularly on her, but she's not a long-term-focused individual. I guarantee she feels like a million fucking dollars at this moment; the consequences of entering a legal battle will fall on future Alyssa, so fuck it.Why is she happy?
Oh, please do. I read it and it was a fascinating window into how stupidly out of touch and consumed by post-modern mumbo-jumbo she was even at that point. I might give it a go too when things cool down.Reminds me that I've been wanting to nitpick her shitty thesis.
Nice grammar check, counsel.Lane Haygood said:Paragraph 189: "...Tarzia’s quoted statements are statements which impugns [sic] the chastity of Alyssa Mercante''
FFS, mixing up "forgo" and "forego" is a college freshman-tier mistake.Lane Haygood said:Paragraphs 180, 191, 198, 205, and 214: This cause of action includes all the forgoing [sic] paragraphs, inclusive, by reference and incorporation.
lol prove it.Lane Haygood said:Paragraph 200: This has always been Tarzia’s intent. He knew before making a single statement about Mercante that some of his viewers would take it too far, and he made the statements he did understanding and believing that this type of conduct would result.
Ah yes, the state of Alyssa Mercantes chastity. That will be quite an argument to make in front of the judge.Paragraph 189: "...Tarzia’s quoted statements are statements which impugns [sic] the chastity of Alyssa Mercante''
IIRC, SmashJT is not in New York. There's immediately a huge jurisdiction problem for her to overcome.So, having finished reading it, the lawsuit is assembled competently enough. It pleads the facts, there is no issue with Jurisdiction barring some unforeseen surprises and Mercante has plead her Torts.
The issue however is in the weeds. First and foremost, she accuses SmashJT of acting with "Actual Malice" which is a high bar, and one I am not seeing. In fact, the claim that she "sucked cocks for money" is based on her well known public reputation as a sex worker.

Now, does being a Cam Whore mean you are an ACTUAL whore? Well this is a matter of significant public debate right now. So significant in fact that it is, dare I even say it, a protected debate under the 1st amendment. Mercante clearly believes being a Cam Whore does not make her a whore. And all well and good. That is her position to argue. But she does not have the right to silence critics who accuse her of being a whore, since this is a matter of public debate. And as a public figure who willingly entered the spotlight and publicly shared her career prior to being a journalist, this is the Arena she entered. She cannot turn around and say critics pointing this out are acting with Actual Malice.
She must first convince the court that she is NOT a public figure, and thus not subject to the Malice doctrine. In which case the matter will have to be settled in discovery. The Defense must obtain evidence that she did in fact suck dicks for money. Somehow I don't think Mercante thought this fact through. She's going to lose on the public figure doctrine alone, but if by some miracle she doesn't, she will have her entire sexual history subject to court ordered Supoena. Because on the face of her complaint she say's she "never sucked dicks for money". Every time she has sucked dick is now a matter before the court to determine if it was pleasure or business, and every single one of her paramours is now subject to Subpoena and questioning under oath.
Good luck with that I guess.
The rest of it is just nonsense. The Tortious interference doesn't hold because it implies SmashJT somehow was responsible for her losing her job at Kotaku. A dying brand that has lost money for a decade and is easily proven to have done so. Her not being able to find employment elsewhere can easily be explained by the fact she was Editor in chief of a failed rag that lost its owners millions. Pinning her lack of prospects on some internet sperg seems weaksauce on the face, and is only further weakened if she can't make defamation stick.
The Bias Related Intimidation for its part is a horrific overreach. Kotaku happened to be overwhelmingly staffed by Alphabet People and Jews. Therefore criticizing it is a bias intimidation tort. The absolute barrel of snakes this will unleash on the US legal system if it is not immediately dismissed is genuinely horrific to consider.
Emotional Distress is "lol". What, did SmashJT tie you to a chair and murder your child in front of you? I hope you are ready to present to the court your voluminous psychological therapy records to prove how damaging him calling you a whore is.
As for Common Law Stochastic Terrorism, Jesus fucking Christ. THIS IS NOT A TORT. Its a fever dream invented by activist lawyers trying to create new law that translates essentially into "Feels=Reals". It should be stepped on even harder then the Bias Intimidation tort claimed. If the court even pretends to entertain a Tort that DOES NOT EXIST its inviting nightmare scenarios.
"Objection, your Honor! She was sucking cock for love of the game!"She has posted, perhaps as a joke, that she got into the gaming industry by "suckin' dick." A screenshot (but not archive that I can see) link is in the first page of this post, as well as cited in SmashJT's article about the lolsuit. That would be "sucking cocks for money."
Kotaku fired her for dming his wife
25. As a result of his focus on Mercante and her rising star in video games
journalism, she became a target for further harassment that eventually led to her
resignation from Kotaku.
I'm going to point out that the reviews are for Haygood, not for this person.
Kotaku, after due investigation, fired her for gross antisemitism.So, she was fired, or she resigned?
Ah yes, the state of Alyssa Mercantes chastity. That will be quite an argument to make in front of the judge.

"It's not dead, it's pining for matrimony!"
A journalist could reach out to Kotaku for comment, but they won't touch this with a 10 foot pole. Not the least of which is because all of Mercante's previous coworkers are likely just as antisemetic, being radical leftist activists pretending to be bloggers. They need to replace them or sell the company before cleaning house.Kotaku, after due investigation, fired her for gross antisemitism.
That is the good faith belief that I, a member of the general public, have developed from reading Ms Mercantes very credible lawsuit.
If I have been misled in this belief by Ms Mercante, Kotaku should respond by immediately making a public statement contradicting any false statements that may be contained in Ms Mercantes, previously thought to be perfectly credible, lawsuit.
Alyssa Mercunte has no shot. Her case reads like the ramblings of a woman who went into a coma ten years ago, just woke up and thinks they're in Canada.Her idea that she can cost him money is assuming that her lawsuit isn't seen to be without merit and wasn't intended to be a SLAPP or intentionally malicious. If she's wrong about that, she could easily find herself on the hook for his legal bills. Look at what happened to Fatrick. She is playing with fire.
Also, if he puts up a FundMyDefense request for financial assistance with the lawsuit, I see it overflowing with donations. What she is trying to do would have an incredible chilling effect on discourse in the public realm. He is likely to have many people that have a vested interest in seeing her lawsuit fail spectacularly.
Also, Alyssa Mercunte is a self-declared prostitute, but has no takers because she is uglier than a long dead dog's asshole that has been exploded with an M-80.
