The guy who Ron may have initially dropped because he was telling him things he didn't want to hear
Ty said he finally got a message back from him
Ty said when he first sent papers to that lawyer he didn't go through the standard procedure of sending anything back and assumed he wasn't representing him, that either means Ron didn't like what he was hearing and dropped him for a while, or the lawyer wasn't doing what he should be doing. And we all know it's probably Ron being a sperg

It's a legal concept called affirmative defence. It means that once the plaintiff has established the key elements of their claim, you must actively put something before the court a specific type of defence to defeat them.

And an affirmative defense admits the facts of the actual case for the purposes of the motion, i.e. that you actually said the allegedly defamatory things. It just argues that they're true. When you argue that, you have the burden of proving they're true.

(You can also make alternate arguments or even contradictory arguments, like "I never said that and even if I did it was true.")

Some life advice since I don't exactly disagree with you on much, get a haircut (or at least brush your hair) and bathe yourself regularly.

This fucker looks like he's trying to cosplay a Dr. Seuss character and probably smells like McElligot's Pool

Probably went like this:

Lawyer: Mr. Toye, it would seem these are very serious and credible allegations.

Toye: Nonsense. This is just frivolous nonsense, I'm sure you can get this tossed out.

Lawyer: I'm afraid not, Mr. Toye, it's seems you may be in serious legal trouble and I advise you discontinue saying anything on social media about it until further notice.

Toye: And you're fired.

There needs to be a weeb intervention on beards. It's Beard 101, if you cannot grow out these areas you shouldn't grow a beard.

That or the fact that most of the biased rags that would have written hitpieces as a full court press against Vic and his supporters got gutted at the start of the year. See the VICE layoffs thread and the whole #learntocode thing for that. The support these KickVic assholes were expecting from the press didn't materialize because the press got BTFO'd, so now they're on their own.

And if you want to go into tinfoil (but probably not really) territory, some bill Obama signed for media propaganda ran out at the same time these clickbait rags started their mass layoffs.

Hell, Gizmodo Media, one of the worst clickbait merchants, has been sold off by Univision to the same private equity firm that bought out Ziff Davis and IGN, and the new owners heavily implied that they're changing the sites' style of writing.

They may even try to argue that Vic's reputation was already in the toilet so their statements didn't ruin it. Ty has anticipated this in the complaint by tying the cancellations by cons to specific statements by the defendants.

Or it was a consultation and they didn't actually retain him. That was one theory. "Yeah let me know if you actually get sued."

Well, they actually got sued. So now the guy has to actually reply.

Casey S. Erik of Kessler Collins. It was confirmed last night. He agreed to waive service, and accept the filing on behalf of Monica and Ron.

For general info on the lawsuit, consult that thread OP. I've added a timeline and expected dates when things will happen. I'll be adding more of the attorneys as we know who they are. I suspect Evan Stone will be answering for Funimation. We don't know who Marchi has hired yet, if anybody.

I usually only watch the first couple of hours of Nick's streams but the last two are worth watching in full.

Could anyone provide links to some legal documents that lay out how burden shifting and affirmative defense would work in a case such as this? I'd really like some sources on this, mostly to read myself to try to gain a better understanding, but also to point to when I inevitably bring this up in conversation elsewhere.
