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

Well, Kamehacon is pretty fucked now, isn't it? I'd be surprised if the owner decides to do another one after all this mess (though I do remember him saying he didn't want to already).

that's the sad thing.... they will. I mean, Ty will have to formally through US courts and stuff.... but Toei has no reason to not hand over any emails regarding Vic..... because they aren't the targets and they have a good reason to go after funi/kickvic and are motivated properly.

Holy shit. I don't think Japan's been this mad at America since December 1941.

I wonder what kind of contract Ryo had with the con…

Yes, they handled things badly at many points, but I feel kind of bad for them and how their fun little Vietnamese cartoon convention has turned into a culture war Gettysburg.

Ignoring the fact that it was probably one of those gracious gifts from on high(his appearance), does it matter? I mean im curious if he did and what as well, but KC has basically bent over and accepted everything, its been kinda sad to watch.

Shortround flipped a shit, and said that soyboy had posted up an order quickly dropped it in chat and than removed it. I thankfully snagged a copy of it. This is all his doing, I held off of say anything till hopefully they shipped because dude has earned his sheckles. Sadly they wont ship cause DMCA, and his decision today was to step it up and troll proudly himself in a bid to drive sales. Its gayops, but shit is so fucking hilarious i figured it'd be good to spread the joy and cheer.

I wish i could claim credit for this, but no its all him, and its glorious. I am just enjoying sitting back and laughing at the endless sperging by people.

I don't see there being a third KamehaCon with all the shit they've had to put up with. They really got a raw deal because spergs wanna play Mean Girls.

Can you honestly blame them? they have to deal with a flock of impotent flailing bulls constantly for the past few weeks. it'd drain anyones patience.

That would be because 40K won't back down without enormous blastback from the userbase. The price barrier to entry on WH40K is huge and why it's always been a /tg/ stronghold.

As for the rest of tabletop gaming? /tg/ is content to let it rot. This may seem strange, but you need to understand: This is a time-honored tactic decades old. D&D and other P&P RPGs have had moral panics, censorship, and self-important asshats who don't really care about the hobby before - many, many times. They're basically going to wait the virus out, much as they did during the Lorraine Williams era, and when the moral panic passes, they'll emerge to reclaim the hobby once more, and there isn't a fucking thing that WOTC and their gaggle of useless SocJus tagalongs can do about it.

Veterans of the old moral panics know that eventually, these always burn themselves out, and there isn't shit the self-appointed fun police can do to stop the actual fans from gaming how they want. There's a reason that official groups like the RPGA were mercilessly trolled by the likes of /tg/ - nobody can dictate to a DM how the fuck they game, and no one is going to stop a DM from gaming with their friends the way they so choose. The SJWs can gut all the fluff and game mechanics they want and mandate that you have to have four minority trannies per party at official events. DMs will houserule that shit and pay zero mind, assuming they aren't just outright using something like OSRIC.

D&D nearly didn't survive Lorraine Williams, and I agree on just sitting and waiting, but the thing that I worry about is that enough people get pushed away for the industry to collapse. It's a little doom and gloom, I know, but comics would be much worse off if Marvel didn't have the movies to keep them propped up.

I mean yes, you can. Someone is trying to directly fuck with your revenue and your business. It does not matter how impotently they flap you either do as they did and cave, or get what you were promised.. or that of equivalent value.

I don't. It sucks but actions have consequense. They, like many before, bedded down with SJWs/radical leftists and invariably, it went tits up. If not for the Beard and Vic's fans, they'd have gotten away with the banning and notched another win for the idiot league.

I understand they were not culture warriors, but war came to them via Kick Vic'ers and they chose the path of France.

Anyone else really bothered at the prospect of there being massive collateral damage in this fiasco?

If toei is wrecking kamehacon over this and funimation as a company goes down because they refuse to do anything but burn with these retards, I can't really see that being anything but a Pyrrhic victory.

(Even if you don't hate subs as much as I do, if a lot less money comes from the west into the anime industry and it's harder to gain new fans, that'll affect subs too. Loads of manga and light novels are never translated precisely because they aren't as big and popular as anime)

Yeaa Perfections predilection towards children is fuuuucked.

I don't know if that is all for this weekend or if there's more on the horizon soon, losing Ryo is kinda huge as he is THE vegeta.

I'll say it again:

I'm so happy Nick distanced himself from Perfection.

He needs to fuck off with his clickbaity shit. I don't give a crap about his beef with Geekdom.

I see it as a victory. A shit service gets hakai'd and sjws get a clear message that their shit does stink and it ain't gonna be tolerated any longer.

kamehacon wasn't going to happen again anyway.

Why do people think Saturday is a deadline for a lawsuit?

Civil Actions in Texas have a 4 year statute which I use all the time to tell Debt collectors to fuck off trying to collect 2013 debt on me.

Because we joked how hilarious it would be for them to get served on their cheesy comic store signature line. Thats it. Thats where the Saturday expectation comes from.

Now real rumor is ty will be filing papers monday morning after kamehacon.
