It seems like law Twitter plan is for the 500 page pile of garbage to be sent to conventions.

That's still defamation - repeating defamatory statements is itself defamatory. It's a garbage plan, especially after the whole court saga is concluded.

Unfortunately it's legal defamation. Because it's in an actual legal document they can get away with it.

They thought Vic would be an easy target due to being an eccentric proud Christian in an era of relatively loud Reddit atheists. The butthurt fujo whisper campaign was the icing on the catastrophe cake.

God dammit! If I didn't already believe it, I believe it now with no doubt whatsoever: MoRonica don't care about making a sound legal argument any more (if they ever did), but are just using the court to defame Vic while hiding behind the privilege of court documents against defamation. And they know their garbage will get out there due to the coverage from Nick, law Twitter, and KF (did I miss anyone?). I hope these motherfucking scum end up with the maximum judgment Vic is asking for and massive sanctions (not as if they haven't earned those already). And how about some jail time for their bullying of cons? Maybe that latter won't happen, but one can always be 
.
(Incidentally, does anyone know if that $5 million max includes exemplary damages or not?)
Oh, and it was so nice of them to finally include the full Vic depo and still massively redact the others! Totally not cowardly at all...

Just skimming through this joke of a TCPA is making me sick. Fuck these twats for abusing our legal system to play their petty little games. I hope they get (legally) drawn and quartered for this shit.

Of course if they do it with the intention of convincing cons not to engage Vic as a guest, we're right back into the realm of tortious interference.

Hmm. How would that work out with cons that aren't in Texas (and have adopted the newer Restatements Of Torts)? Truth isn't a defense in Texas, but it is in other states I'm sure.

Truth is only a defence if you can establish that it's truth. A filing isn't inherently truthful.

They’re going to be broke for the reeeeeest of their lives, and the lawyers that represented them are going to walk away with 10k paid and a bill of sanctions that exceeds that tiny 10k retainer.

Considering J has said repeatedly that the story lied about it, and apparently had the wherewithal the threaten ANN in some way to pull her image from their articles.... and we've kept that info here in the farms to the point we know it's common knowledge....
I wonder if BHBH quietly reached out to her for... Oh. I dunno.
A sworn statement of some sort?
Wouldn't that be an embarrassment?

If they want to try to make that claim, submit requests to Sentai. It was spun out of former ADV personnel, so they’re the most likely org to know anything regarding that. Better hope their chickenshit games haven’t pissed them off somehow.
Are they less idiotic than Funi and company? The only thing relating to them that I’ve ever dealt with were Utena dvds.

Writing a document that's packed full of lies and filing it with the court is privileged. Sending it to third parties for the purpose of defaming the subject of those lies or interfering with his contracts, however, is not privileged. Their only excuse would be "it's written in a court document, so I believed it," and that's only good against defamation of a public figure (assuming that he even is one, at least now). It's not a defense against tortious interference.

They are kinda proving that a LOT of potentially influential people are talking about and cooperating to take down Vic through defamation. Wasn't there a word for that starting with a C?Quick update regarding the Tekko affidavits.

I don't recall ever seeing anything from J recanting. I think there might be some confusion regarding the woman involved. Here's the original ANN article. It showed a total of seven people. It showed three people whose stories it gave, J, Taylor, and Azure; then showed four women allegedly belonging to Vic's fanclub. J was the woman who's image was used at the start of the TCPA, and she basically headlined the ANN hitpiece.
After the article went up, one of the four women from the fan club section named Mary protested the use of her photo without permission, and even though she was anti-Vic at that point (with a story that sounds more like internet rumors were successful in gaslighting her into negatively viewing the encounter) she contacted ANN and they removed her photo. At the same time readers noticed that one of the women in the remaining three fan club photos (the one closest to the caption "Approximately 43% of Risembool Rangers were underage in 2006") was clearly a woman named Casey J Harwood who'd previously made a statement on Facebook protesting the use of her photo in a false story attacking Vic. ANN's response at the time to people pointing out this failure of verification and permission was to make a statement on the forums claiming that the fan club photos weren't intended to be taken as other victims. They were merely included to demonstrated the frequency of the behavior and they hadn't intended people to take those photos as being definitely non-consentual; and ANN updated the article with a disclaimer to that effect. A few days later they finally removed Casey's photo and the other two fanclub photos.
So the woman "J" whose photo from the ANN article was used at the start of the TCPA has never disputed their article to my knowledge. Casey is the fan who was protesting the misuse of her photo at the time, ultimately resulting in her image being pulled from the article. Despite Casey's middle initial being J, they're clearly different people.

Does this fat moron know what a mall cop is? The Ocean City Police Department is a real police department even if it's not Fort Apache the Bronx or some shit.
