Bit of a delayed reaction here, but I can't get over the number of people tagging Vic demanding he somehow call Kiwifarms off.
I just got my call from the person up the phone tree and they told me that Vic said we are to continue posting and memeing for now. I'm gonna call my two people after I post this.
(God, remember phone trees? I'm so fucking old and I will die soon.)
by the way, can I take a minute and just recommend some anime? like cowboy bebop, fullmetal alchemist, and my favorite of all, saga of tanya the evil.
The KF anime/manga thread is here. Please use that for recommendations.

As if we could plan for this shit. It grows and diverges into wildly new directions every day. This shit is keeping us on our toes, man.
MY FUCKING GOD
THESE DENSE MOTHERFUCKERS
Nick has already shown MULTIPLE TIMES what happens when you file a “harassment” complaint. It becomes an inquiry and therefore dismissed. Why are you doing it again?
WHAT THE FUCK
I've said it before; I don't think very many people on the #KickVic side are keeping up with Nick's streams and such as we are. Thus, whatever information they get about the case is some combination of days/weeks late and filtered and spun through many layers of Chinese whispers from Twitter and PULL echo chambers. So "filing a bogus complaint against Nick or Ty will likely result in Nick reading your complaint live on stream and hopefully he doesn't boomer censoring out whatever private information you put on that form, which by the way he does as mere curtesy" might not have got through to them yet.
Then there's going to be the 15th, that week is going to be great, my payday is at the end of it
Give at least 1% of your paycheck to the GFM campaign. MATCH ME BRO
This topic is too specific to have a subforum and does not revolve around one cow(wouldnt count vic as a cow). Also I think a topic like this has a lifespan given what the event is. If topics like gamergate, trump deranged syndrome, and a few others have not gotten their own subforum, I sincerely doubt this one will.
Your first sentence contains two contradictory statements, and KF actually had a whole GamerGate subforum at one point. At this point I think a subforum would be nice just so those who like to post every… single… thing their favorite cows tweet could have their own threads to do so in.
Anyway, a thought: Those commenting on the novelty on this particular culture war battle involving the law are forgetting ComicsGate and the resulting and ongoing Meyer v Waid lawsuit.
It has its own thread, but here's a quick rundown.
Richard C. Meyer is a retired vet who reviews comic books on his YouTube channel. Despite non-existent production value in his videos, his channel took off like a rocket in 2017. In his videos, he usually criticizes what he sees as a social justice takeover of comics and rags about things like black characters which aren't allowed to have flaws or 110-pound women with danger hair who are able to knock out muscle-bound men with one punch. His older videos could be quite caustic; he's mellowed out a lot over the last year or so. He ended up making a lot of enemies in the comics mainstream and was eventually doxed (he originally tried to stay anonymous).
He had done a few of his own books before, and last year he announced that a sequel to one of his previous books, Jawbreakers, would be published by a publishing company called Antarctic Press. But not long after the announcement, Antarctic backed out of the deal. It looks an awful lot like this happened after a long-time comics professional named Mark Waid called Antarctic and threw his weight around to get Antarctic to not work with that alt-right bigot misogynist Meyer, so Meyer lawyered up and is now suing Waid for tortious interference. Nick Rekieta started covering this case, which led him to looking into the Mignogna stuff after much of the ComicsGate community started to notice it. Nick reached out to Vic for an on-stream interview which ended up not happening, but apparently he did bring up the idea to Vic of consulting a certain law firm in Texas about a possible TI case, and the rest is history.
So, yes, this particular lawsuit-in-the-making is great and will hopefully help stem the tide of callout culture, but it's not the first! Without Meyer v Waid, there'd be no Mignogna v Whoever.
