Suing a lawyer who also hasn't been wrong; about the law. Unlike the person who is doing the suing. Galaxy Brain Idea.

They're STUCK with their idiotic public behavior & every time Nick opens his mouth Nick shoves their collective snout in their own public dog poo.
Steve Novella used to say if you want to be a really good skeptic, stay anonymous - so you'll never be stuck with the stupidities of your past and you can change your mind as appropriate.
It's really bad (hard to come around to new, mind-changing info) if you've been a complete asshole.

W--
wait, is he actually trying to say that they're going to file a SLAPP against Nick and there won't be anything he can do to preemptively terminate it because there's no anti-SLAPP in federal court?

It doesn't make much sense at all. Probably less so considering that Nick is actually quite careful about what he actually claims to be true. He might even be able to claim journalistic shield laws as well if the real aim is just to fish for his sources.
I'm not even sure why Führer J. Sean Lemoine, leader of Bataan Death Marches, filer of horse shit legal documents, would even bother. His clients aren't paying him for the work he's doing for them now, so why would he take on another case for them, especially when he should be trying to use the fact that they've filed jointly and may need to become adversarial as an exit strategy.
The only way he'd even try is if he were taking all of this incredibly personally. I could see him being that kind of idiot, but this would be taking it up to a whole new level. Weeb Wars has some kind of giant autism magnet attached to it, because holy hell has it ever drawn in some interesting cows.

You know something. I was always looking at the Vic story and the audio leak story from Vic's support group point of view. You have to admit that the clique didn't really made audio recordings to compromise the company, they did it just to have fun. This is Vic's support group who leaked them. But now I've tried to look at the whole story from the point of view of the owner of Funimation. Honestly, not just as an argument in a dispute with someone. A very interesting picture revealed itself.
How logic dictates, this situation should have developed. Not from the perspective of human morality, but from the point of view of the company's interests. Although in this particular case, one does not contradict the other in any way. In other words, what real business decisions should have looked like.
How the situation really evolved.
A lot of the company's employees completely unprofessionally fuelled the unfounded accusations that Vic was a pedophile. They used the company's authority to confirm these accusations.
In this sense, KickVik is of course right. The public opinion that one of Dragon Ball's characters and the main character of Full Metal Alchemist, a well-known sex addict and pedophile, is much more harmful to these products and the company. Compared to the fact that Chris Sabat pervertedly mocked his own characters in his own studio and hired a voice actress on a casting couch.
And it just suddenly hit me just now. That, of course, they viciously hit Vic. But from the very beginning they threw their own company under the bus. Because they are incredibly stupid. I. e. if no IStandWithVic would have appeared. If every single fan had believed everything that was said. Everybody would feel sorry for and cherish Monica, admire the heroic fiancé Ron and other brave voice actors. But Funimation and Sony would be in deep shit almost as much as they are in it now. So much for gratitude to their own company for giving them an interesting job for decades and making them famous.

1. Event: The online campaign against Vic begins.
Assessment: Low threat level
Answer: Monitoring
2. Event: The Funimation Actors are beginning to publicly hint that the accusations have real grounds. Monica Real initiates an internal investigation.
Assessment: Critical threat to the company's IP (Dragon Ball, Full Metal Alchemist, etc.) and reputation.
Answer: A thorough investigation to determine the threat level.
3. Event: It turns out that Monica and the persons named by her have no charges confirming that Vic has broken the law and that the heaviest charges against Vic are justified.
Assessment: Monica's loyalty to the company is in question. She is old enough to understand that her personal comfort issues can be resolved without having to put her story in the public sphere and without exposing the company's reputation and IP to the risk of defamation. Further investigation is needed.
Answer: Interviews with all employees of the company to see if anybody knows any real episodes involving Vic. Instruct all employees to avoid commenting this situation in the media without consulting with the company.
4. Event: In the course of the investigation, it turns out that Chris Sabat, Sean Shimel and others have been spreading rumors about Vic's homosexuality and other deviations for decades. Attempts to contact the victims and other actions did not provide any evidence of heavy accusations against Vic.
Evaluation: Conflict within the company. One of the parties of the conflict is willing to cause serious damage to the company to solve their minor problems.
Answer: Strictly instructing all actors who attacked Vic before to publicly declare that it was their personal opinion and make it clear that they do not have any evidence to support their point of view.
5. Event: The scandal slowly subsides.
Evaluation: Corporate decisions are needed within the company
Answer: Actors who are members of the clique will receive a proposal, that they will be quietly dismissed from the company without public announcement. However, they will be allowed to participate in the conventions and continue to be associated with the company's IP characters. In other words, if they leave quietly, they will be allowed to retain their income from the conventions. If they try to go into conflict with the company, they will not be allowed to use the company's IP in any way and will receive a lawsuit from the company.

I was so sure that once this lawsuit was filed; people would shut up like clams and it would be like listening to the silence of death for a good few months, MAYBE, even a year. Because that is what normally happens. I was going to lurk quietly and occasionally go by for updates. But no, no, this is the weeb wars and by the heavens, this ride is wild!
I am putting my good chocolate on one of the first subjects being brought up will be the GFM cause they still, STILL do not understand how this works. Cause reading is just too hard!

Is Nick gonna be the first man ever to be sued for being too much of a Chad? Will that woman that looks like the meme drawing of Chad say some super dumb shit on Twitter? Will TUG post a shitty video that is merely regurgitation and grifting? Will TUG's wife remain ugly and enormous? Find out, like, soon!

Are these niggers so dumb that they are going to try to drag a federal judge into this to violate the civil rights of Nick Rakieta with a gag order to stop him from raw fucking them nightly?
This reeks of even more desperation than the notice to petition to file a notice of notice to despose Nick; another pathetic stunt to try to intimidate a reporter that will never actually materialize. It just goes to show you why lawyers are contemptible,

Is that a Snivy in a diaper wetting the bed, and a holding a butcher's knife? WHY?! Holy edgelord
Also, I've always failed to grasp what toxic masculinity stands for. Does it also mean there's toxic femininity?
Whom it may affect? Trans pals in their transition? Because from what I see there's a HUGE gap between sensible men and these effeminate soyboys who think they got the short end of the stick.

Never expected Fuhrer West Nile to be as deranged as LanDUI. He's going full "he does it for free" in the name of deranged ideologues all because he was insulted by Nick and his fans.

I find this interesting.
My first idea is that everyone being sued right now, and even people not being currently sued, were all in on this. Funimation's implication that Vic was fired because of sexual misconduct would devastate his reputation, and Rial and Marchi's claims would amplify the damage. They wanted him ruined and cut off.
...so why didn't they salt the earth? Why didn't they not only ruin the chances of him getting work while simultaneously ruining his chances of con appearances, but also ensure that he wouldn't be able to associate with the IPs he voiced?
Between this oversight and the fact that he wasn't fired according to the contract they signed, as well as failure to even bother to contact alleged victims outside of Rial, it kind of seems as if they were in a hurry to fire him.

Yeah, makes one wonder how many else that this happened to that didn't try to fight it, because how they are going about this, it doesn't seem like the first time.
