Weeb Wars / AnimeGate / #KickVic / #IStandWithVic / #vickicksback - General Discussion Thread

Uh oh guys, I think we might be in trouble...

Looks like Nick has a little secret!

 

[AnOminous]

That's the fourth homicide in less than a month. Goddamn I love Nick.

I don't think Nick's specialty is constitutional law.

Spoiler

Because since the 13th Amendment it's illegal to own a nigga like that.

And GG's endgame got more and more nebulous as time went on and people lost focus of the initial goal. There really wasn't a specified endpoint as the movement lost steam, just "wreck feminists on Youtube/sperg out on Reddit, ???, PROFIT." It just got more and more autistic as more and more people left GG because GG couldn't stay focused on one damn thing.

Weeb Wars has a very specific and tangible goal, there's a more definitive finish line to cross and boxes to tick. It's also funnier because this is the first time they've had to face the consequences of their actions outside of their bubble. You can't block a judge and call a jury alt-right racist sexist transphobes or whatever and call it a day.

The reason that happened is that GG very decisively ended. In October 2015. It was over when this fucking thing got released and was so bad that the UN publicly apologized for it. There was nothing else at that point. Everyone of substance basically left at that point. The only ones who stuck around were those using it to watchdog (the ones doing it right), the assholes who lost (because they were convinced they had won), and the morons hoping to keep the fucking thing going to drive the offensive someplace else. Of course it was going to become dumber at that point.

Good. That Star Trek Tardigrades lawsuit has some real entertainment value potential. Certainly a lot more than the show.

Seems like we have an interview from someone who has recently spoken to Vic though, so we still might learn some things.

I haven't been around here for very long, but I've never struggled so much in keeping up with a thread.

Good. Regurgitating the Vic stuff which everyone already knows is just boring. There are going to be long stretches where nothing happens on the legal front so it's a good time to get people interested in other stuff.

I haven't been around here for very long, but I've never struggled so much in keeping up with a thread.

It's attracted a lot of us who don't actually care about anime. Unfortunately, we're a verbose lot.

Actually this is probably one of the fastest threads of all time, outside Trump winning the election and everyone uploading pics of Rachel Maddow crying because she thought the gays were to be gassed imminently.

It's an AO person. They tend to get kinda spergy. But one could hope...

Not to mention being there for Vic really bring people together with well put together research and Justice for a man that was done wrong, really amazing how powerful it show the community for Vic really is, especially more talks and discussion and research then Prettylittleuglyliar and Resetera.

 

[Captain Manning]

NJ4K, who claimed he was a vet, is now not a vet.

Inb4 he lied about being a magistrate and police officer too.

This is pretty much the only place actually talking about what is going on in written form. No major media outlets outside whatever the fuck the Japan Times is has touched this with a ten foot pole, and the only other forums really going into it are far left hug boxes like PULL and REEEEEEEsetera. Where if you actually talk about what is going you get banned or have your posts deleted. I will admit candidly the farms can at times be a right wing hug box, but we aren't deleting and shadow banning the odd person who shows up here to demand Vic get his balls cut off either. IMO its more they really got nothing to argue with.

So yeah, this thread scores really high on search engine results for people interested in info on what is going on. There is ltierally no competition to it. Which is unique in its own right. Usually when we talk about internet drama Buzzfeed, Vox, the Atlantic, Forbes and the rest of the crew are there as well spamming the usual stuff and pushing the kiwifarms thread to page 3, if not further. But this is post "learn 2 code" so I guess all those people got fired and its just us now. What a time.

 

[Recoil]

The Farms has been doing an astonishing amount lately. Between this and the developments in other threads, you guys are a real force for good.
This weeb wars shite may seem inconsequential to some in the big picture, but it's vitally important. The line is being drawn here.

Really bugs me honestly, because as pessimistic a view as this is, it makes me wonder if and when we're ever going to get back to a point where people can actually talk openly about stuff. I know Twitter's pretty much a system of hugboxes with its blocking system, and of course places like PULL and Resetera are just nonexistent when it comes to proper discussion. But then you have to consider stuff like that DBZ forum(whatever it was called), or the the idea that this can't be talked about on Reddit, one of the other major social media giants(I wouldn't know off the top of my head if that's true, just a speculation, I keep to niche subreddits most of the time).

Instead of fair and open discussion, for quite a long time now the social media giants have basically shut down a lot of wrongthink discussion, and places like this where all views, even opposing ones, can be freely made without immediate dogpiling and word salad name calling are considered the dregs of the internet(I know the Farms is considered that for MANY other reasons, but they'd label any site the same way that tried to discuss Vic impartially).

I know this sounds a bit edgy and dystopian, I just wonder when or even if the internet will ever stop being like this. It's one of the defining reasons I lurk far more than I post anywhere but maybe here.

Actually, Newsweek did two stories really early on, but they were pretty basic bitch, and it was before he lawyered up.

Rooster Teeth to end all associations with Vic Mignogna following allegations

Only five of his 18 remaining convention appearances in 2019 have been cancelled.

Funimation Recasts Vic Mignogna in 'Morose Mononokean' amid sexual harassment allegations

Ian Sinclair replaced Vic Mignogna in "Morose Mononokean" in episode 5.

It's likely because they interviewed Vic for the Broly movie earlier:

That why the other threads be nothing but an echo chamber, just the same repeated ideas and opinions, no challenges or legit conversation what so ever.

Well I really haven't seen anyone come here and demand that. You'd think they'd read the thread and realize we have archived tweets and pages as evidence. Unless they think we are some super hacking group and have been creating evidence and larping this the whole time. Setting up a fake lawyer website and hiring actors to do fake interviews in fake offices.

That'd probably be such a huge troll it'd be international news.

I think it will eventually, and I feel the Vic lawsuit will hasten that.

It's already begun.

What's happening on youtube at the moment is a warning that we're not going to play by SJW rules on SJW turf any more. A whole lot of people with very different viewpoints are over it, and that's starting to crystalise into pushback.

People are tired of having their thoughts and words policed, and I think we're reaching the point where many in the left are even more tired of it than the rest of us because they've learned that they can never be perfect enough to avoid the risk of being savaged by their own team.
