Ok I'm going to shoot from the hip here a bit and ask wtf is Rekeita doing? Much as I wouldn't care if people like Marzgurl, et. al. get their just dessert for all the bullcrap they've done as of late related to this whole mess, but why is he and the rest of these guys (Yellow Flash, TUG, etc.) leading this charge on them in Vic's supposed behalf? Did I miss a tweet of his where he said he's condoning this gofundme project? Like really, Vic does not strike me as someone that wants to fight this, but all the Anti-SJWs sure as hell want it.

He didn't put out any statements himself, but he did give one to Nick to read out on his behalf in his last stream on the matter. Nick's also read another statement on tonight's stream from Vic requesting any excess funds raised be sent to the Salvation Army, so between those two facts Vic is very aware of the support and is willing to use the money to pursue litigation, at least at the moment.

My understanding is that Nick is in contact with the team of lawyers Vic has hired and is driving the fundraiser due to his own interest in curtailing social media lynch mobs. As a lawyer he stands to lose a lot more than most if he misappropriates or merges any funds, which helps add to security of the fundraiser. Technically, and I'm working of memory so I may be wrong, he isn't exactly raising money for Vic, but raising it for the team of lawyers to pay for legal fees for Vic's case. A small, but important distinction, and one of the reasons he's qualified to raise the funds.
 
Rekeita is live streaming again about this. Interesting point to addendum my earlier post. Apparently Texas has a "Vice Principle Liability" doctrine. This means any "servant of the master" who is granted authority by the master (the company), becomes a vice principle and can potentially incriminate the organization. Which is seriously bad for Funimation because apparently as a cost saving measure they have given their main voice actors middle management authority.

Yeah I gathered both of that so far listening to the stream, but I just don't like it. Also yes, I don't see Nick doing something that will pretty much get him disbarred, but I still find this whole thing either fishy or jumping the gun. I just don't get the purpose of this without the guy's express desire.

He's doing it with Vic's support, including hosting the GoFundMe, which he's gone public with information on. He already went forward with an official statement via Nick, which included calling out for information for the upcoming suits, which include, slander and tortious interference from Jamie Marchi, Monica Rials, and Kaylyn Saucedo, as well as several of their associates. While they've gone full DFE on things, it will avail them little: the weebs were expecting something like this to happen for years and have archived everything. Multiple times even. Nick got involved because the evidence against them was fucking overwhelming and there was more than adequate cause for him to sue.

As for why the Comicsgate spergs (like Yellow Flash and Hamblyburger) are involved, it's very simple: They're the first ones who gave coverage to Vic's side of the issue publicly on a forum that the opposition couldn't do damage control on, and spread awareness that maybe there was more to the Vic drama than was being let on. It was the big Youtubers who helped put forward the details on Marzgurl and ANN quite literally being the initiators of the campaign against Vic. Sites like us broke it first, but they're the ones who made it public.

Humorously, this has also caused pants-shitting meltdowns from the usual suspects in Anti-CG, who naturally threw all their support behind the Anti-Vic campaign and proceeded to sperg out about muh horsemint. They're correspondingly the first ones who absorbed the offensive from the Anti-Vic crowd, who immediately accused them of harassment, and you've seen this song and dance about 40 times this year so less said the better.

As for why several, like Hambly, got meetings with DHS to ask for intel, it's very simple: The Anti-Vic crowd is fucking pants-on-head stupid, and none are fucking stupider than the head of Pensacon. After days of threatening potential attendees with legal action and lawsuits if they dare to show support for Vic, Pensacon's head faked a bomb threat. This was a monumentally stupid idea because Pensacon was taking place at a government building, which meant that the fed gets involved, and this entire autistic shitstorm is being looked at by DHS and the Department of Defense because one particularly stupid motherfucker wanted to get one up on the pro-Vic crowd.

As if to chase this bit of monumental stupid with even bigger stupid, Samantha Inoue-Harte, a personal friend of Marchi and Rial and a former Funimation staffer, claimed they were SWATed by a Vic supporter, and for the Anti-CG crowd to immediately blame Hambly and Yellow Flash for it, despite neither having anything to do with any SWATing. In this regard they gave Hambly exactly what he wanted, which was an excuse to cover this shit more. Of course, it got even stupider when it was revealed that Samantha Inoue-Harte had re-used snapshots from a previous SWAT hoax back in 2016 she was also responsible for.

This is on top of shit like various connected Funimation and ANN staffers lending cover to Rial, Marchi, and Saucedo.

And you thought Mark Waid was a fuck-up.

His best effort to ensure we get lulz, short of actually involving himself in a professional manner.

Nick, or Vic?

Nick very much wants it. He's mentioned that several times now. He's said he's tired of the the SJWs ruining people's lives, and wants to introduce them to the legal world he lives in.

Vic has said, through Nick, this isn't the route he wanted to go, but it looks like he has no choice. If he does nothing, he's perma-fucked.

The SJWs don't want a legal battle. Their entire strategy is based on "listen and believe." When you introduce things like evidence, law, and logic into the equation, they don't tend to do so well. If they did, they wouldn't really be SJWs.

Yes.

Nick also mentioned this wouldn't be so much a wrongful termination suit. Texas is a work at will state.

This hypothetical case would be over how Funimation, and their subordinates, handled his separation. Namely by all but saying, publicly, that Vic is guilty of sexual harassment.

It's noteworthy that Funimation didn't expressly mention WHY they separated from Scott Freeman. They have to virtue signal over Vic, but don't want to mention why they separated by a guy who PLEAD GUILTY to possession of child pornography.

It's kinda fucked.

I just don't get the purpose of this without the guy's express desire.

Nick has said that Vic has given his expressed permission. I mean, you can either believe that, or not.

My guess is that if the blue checkmarks go after his Gofundme, he'd probably provide proof to Gofundme.

They want their victims to just go away quietly. They want to force them to say they love Big Brother, grovel for forgiveness, then shoot them in the back of the head anyway.

It's time for some people to start fucking these bastards back.
 
@Jaimas

1) Mark Waid is still a fuck-up.

2) Oh I fully understand why Yellow Flash, Q#, and TUG are doing what they're doing. I just think that Mr Mignogna would have done a basic cursory check on Nick and a few other people who have probably been tagging the crap out of him probably so they can insert themselves in the drama.

3) Heard about PensaCon. Enough said.

@Captain Manning I meant Vic on the 2nd sentence you hi-lighted from me. I think I already edited it.

Edit : Nevemind just edited, but you probably get my drift.

2nd Edit : How about I put my skepticism like this guys. Why does Vic want to let some yokel Minnesota lawyer and people he could probably easily find out are spergs do a pro-Vic gofundme project on his behalf assuming he even knows anything about them?

Also, if all of this sounds too self-righteous, I wanna remind people that the best drama often comes when lawyers are involved. On stream, Nick is licking his chops over the discovery process. What that means, in our parlance, is massive amounts of tard cum is likely incoming.

I see this as a boon for the Farms. It's a win-win, even if you don't care about owning the SJWs.

100%. I don't watch dubbed anime. I never even heard of this Vic guy. I am the worst possible person for companies like Funimation and these spergs on twitter to know about this situation. But I do know about this situation, it has made me mad, and mad enough to actually send money to the legal fund of a dude I don't know beyond that I feel he has been subjected to a twitter lynch mob.

These idiots were so hyperbolic, so over the top, they picked a fight not just with their professional enemy but with a huge number of people that were nothing more then bystanders. FFS, the Comicsgate spergs like Van Skiver have never followed any of the weeb drama. They were busy bitching about the up coming captain marvel movie. Yet these idiots picked a fight with them. And they just kept escalating from there and turned this into an existential drama that cast shade upon basic, fundamental rights. Like the right to innocence until proven guilty. And the scum had the total balls to attack people who raised their hands and ask if that is not something worth protecting.

So seriously. Fuck them. At this point its not even really about Vic.

Because Vic doesn't want to be very public with all this yet. He's said very little.

Which is probably a smart move. It might even be advice from legal counsel (which he has now retained).

That means a middleman is warranted for some things.

Also, I think Vic already knows... unless he's an idiot... his fans are mostly spergs. So he's probably used to spergs and is working with what he knows he has. He's told them to not do anything hateful or violent. Probably won't help for many of them, but he's on record disowning the most spergy of the spergs.

Now that you mention it, I'm going to slap myself in the head for not realizing how Vic probably has experience with spergs given the state of the anime community. I just find it a little convenient that someone that wouldn't strike me as publicly confrontational or controversial would end up cosying with these clearly opportunistic anti-SJW spergs, but then again this whole thing is retarded.

Silence is golden and it's what wins in this kind of thing. There will be time for gloating later if he has a case.

If he doesn't nothing will win it but hey, we'll see.

It's common sense you don't want to be connected to a weapon. Even if it's used in a justifiable homicide.

Also, we just crossed 10k in 6 hours. This is the impressive type of exceptionalism. Much like weaponized, and properly wielded, autism.

These idiots kicked a hornets nest. We are way past autism at this point. I said earlier that the morons were too stupid to realize they had walked out into no mans land in the American culture wars. The only logical decision for those people was to walk back to their trench and duck. But they didn't. They decided to charge the other sides trench instead. And now the artillery is raining down and the machine guns are firing. And none of the people on the other side of those guns is involved in any way with anime fandom. The fans of dubbed weeb shit are not the ones grabbing their rifles and going over the top in response to this. These idiots were so deep in their own bubble that they forgot there was an entire world out there. And that maybe, just maybe, the people in that world were not sitting around sniffing their farts.

Nah, but they're grabbing their wallets. Which is almost just as good. This Gofundme is more impressive than I thought it was going to be.

The issue here is that the people like MarzGurl and Jacob Chapman aren't really mainstream anime fandom. I came to that conclusion when I saw how many Trump supporters had anime avatars. They supported the guy who was pillaged by MSM, but who still won because... surprise... there is an entire world outside the SJW safe space. I think the fandom, as an aggregate, tracks at least slightly right. Or, at least, they see the danger SJWs represent to something that is a product from another culture.

That's not to say that's not the case in comics and games, but I think it's really strongest in anime.

TL;DR: I hate to sound "Nixonian," but I think there's a (mostly) silent majority of fans that are tired of faggots trying to crap up their hobby with their stupid culture warrior shit.

Jesus...Nick has more people watching than Ralph.

Good.
