In an attempt to end litigation before it started, Chuck Huber proposed that Funimation donate $500,000 to RAINN as part of the agreement between all the parties. He should stick to voice acting because he is bad at mediation.
He's just one of the majority of people who hadn't yet realised that you cannot give these people
anything. Look how they spin Vic saying he's sorry anyone was hurt by his actions: they take the classic 'I'm sorry if you were offended,' which is only an apology for the reactions to your behaviour rather than the behaviour itself, and claim it's him admitting guilt.
Learning that these people can't ever be reasoned with or compromised with takes experience with them, an experience most people don't yet have. They're still at the stage of 'well, there's no smoke without fire' and 'people wouldn't just make this shit up, there must be
something there'. Unless you've had personal dealings with these kinds of people, it's really only this year that more people are starting to really pick up on the fact that a cancel-culture mob has an absolute disregard for the truth and yet will never admit to being wrong, and will not stop, no matter what their victim does, until they get distracted by their next target.
And of course, all of these solutions are predicated on the idea that, because he's offended people, Vic must have done something wrong. That there must be
something in all this nonsense that he can change to help the situation. Huber thinking this could be solved amicably is just naive. How many people have said 'oh, he should just admit to wrongdoing, promise to change, and lay low' about accusations of rape and pedophilia? It shows just how these KickVic people are both completely disingenuous about claiming they'd ever let Vic's name not be tarred by these accusations, and also that most of them believe he's just A Bad Guy, but not really guilty of anything criminal, otherwise that
wouldn't be enough for them.
We're lucky that Vic chose to fight back, and that he has Nick and Ty on his side. Both from a culture wars standpoint of trying to resist a mob of liars, and also because this whole Weeb Wars saga has been great for lolcow farming and laughing at exceptional individuals who are just
so mad they're not getting their way. And now we have a 490+ page document from them, a 'proper' legal document detailing just how
not mad they are, but are the real victims here, because their wild accusations and attempt to hurt an innocent man has, for one of the first times in internet mob history, actually had proper consequences for the accusers and not just the accused.
It's been a wild ride, and the rollercoaster has
just started, even though it's been just about six months. The biggest difficulty is that there's a very large difference between being aware of the case and really knowing what's going on, and that difference includes thousands of pages of threads and hundreds of hours of video. It's very easy to sum up in a paragraph, but not nearly as easy to be able to show just how exceptional KV is and how they are stupid, malicious liars at every step of the way. It's the sort of thing that could help people reach peak woke, but you're not going to get there without some deep diving.
