God the amount of "H-HOW COULD T-THIS HAVE HAP-HAPPENED!!! TY WAS SUPPOSE TO PUNISH THEM!! REEEE" on Twitter is fantastic. I haven't laughed this hard in awhile.

On a real note, I hope to God they do not dismiss everything because it'd be such a blow to our civil system that people would just lose faith in it and take more autistic matters into their hands. Last thing we need is some sped showing up to Sabats house to introduce some justice because a Judge didn't do his due diligence on this. I wouldn't put it past the hardcore people involved in the weeb wars to not do something like that fyi.
One thing is for sure: This practice of ruining peoples lives via twitter needs to end. I was hoping this case would finally be the vehicle to challenge this nonsense and give plaintiffs the means to hold twitter morons accountable, but that outcome is seeming less and less likely every day. Supreme Court Justice Thomas made a comment about revisiting Ny. Times v. Sullivan the other day and I couldn't agree more with his sentiments. The founders never intended for the first amendment to be a high bar against prevailing against people who have tortiously ruing your reputation. That is simply a sentiment SCOTUS concocted out of thin air.
 
it's really annoying with the amount of "it's all over now I'm leaving" going on
Like the only thing that was lost was TI and even then MoRon are still on the hook for social conspiracy from what I'm reading and alot of shit can be appealed
I'm not saying Vic will win but too many people just throw a shitfit the minute it doesn't go ideally
Guess twitter was wrong about who the grifters was. :story:

I'm still several pages back, catching up, but since people are clearly upset, here is a gif of a big cat in a little bowl.

All hope is not lost yet, guys. Hang in there.

Like I said, let's move on and focus on supporting indiependent people in the anime industry who need immediate help. Support their mangas, anime, conventions, whatever.

I seriously don't know why people keep acting like this is the end of the world.

The japanese have to deal with their fucking families dying from tsunamis and natural disasters constantly, yet they just dust themselves off and move on.
 
When I said people on both sides were being exceptional and that it was turning into gamergate 3.0 I really made some people butthurt, well, 48 hours later :story:.

I'll restate what I said: every "public figure" and lawyer youtubers are exceptional, don't blindly take their arguments for gospel.
A lawsuit never goes the way you want, and as much as you despise the opposing party and its counsel (even if they act rarted), there can be merit to their arguments, and dismissing them purely for partisan reason is a luxury an audience can afford, but that no lawyer should. You do the best with what you're dealt with, formulate your best argument, and then the judge accept it of throw it away, even if he's wrong, in which case there's still the possibility to appeal.

Some of you people seem to don't grasp any of it, after embarrassingly praising Ty Beard with almost homosexual tones, some of you are now going the other way. It's ridiculous.

Now, there are still some causes left on the table, it can go the other way on the next round. Or all of this can be appealed. I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy the long protracted shitshow of both sides being exceptional.

They treat this as some cockfight. Of course reality of such proceedings is different.

Which is a very odd tactic. Is this common? Is this something new as both sides appeared to be unexpected for this.

You don't go hiking wearing scuba gear, right? I think it's that sort of thing.
 
To that end, I agree with the Judge's decision to not give him any rope. We don't know how pressed for time BHBH was or who they all had assigned to gather what. At the end of the day, Ty is the senior partner and the blame falls on him, which he's already taken to the face in the past
Here's my thing on that: Ty said he and the firm were spending at least one day a week getting up to speed on this case and keeping their memories fresh. Where did all of that time go exactly? If they have time to do that, why do they not have time to draft a 30+ page brief (and attach a bunch of exhibits) within 30 days?
 
I think being that's one of the hardest parts of the "just watch and laugh" perspective. Everyone has their biases and opinions and we gonna take our sympathies to one side of another. Even as a fucking leftie, I was taking Vic's side because the other side were bunch of idiots. But the more the hearing get closer, the more skeptical I became. If we don't remember that real life and the Internet are basically two completely separared entities we tend to lose focus and do stupid shit. That's how many e-celebs fell from grace. But meh, is not the end of the world. People on the XIX and XX Century were very optimistic on the perspective on winning revolutions just to get crushed. Remember pal, when we talk about these Internet's movements, we need a perspective grounded on reality not on Internet's Drama. We can have our perspective and bias but it has to be grounded on IRL
I get you, and can somewhat agree on your sentiment, but I'd advice to anybody to not get overly emotional.

Take it just as entertainment, not worth getting pissed off by it. Otherwise, it stops being fun to watch at.

Here, I joined the Vic cause because I happened to like the guy as Qrow in RWBY. When the allegations came up, I tried to research but found nothing but rumors. So it started dubious to me.

Even of Vic loses I will still have a voice for Qrow in bootleg Vic (Jason Liebrecht), so anything I got as from this, I see it as a win.
 
Possibly a dumb question, but what exactly did people expect ought to happen legally speaking (i.e. forget about Sony possibly cleaning house or Sabat getting MeToo-ed)? The court would make Toye, Monica, Marche and/or Funimation pay him damages for screwing him over? I mean, sure that is some compensation for the crap they put him through, but he's still lost money from all this and not just in terms of legal fees. His reputation still took a hit and he will outside of the overall anime community be treated as persona non grata. He's highly unlikely to get hired by Funimation (granted I have no idea why he would want to work with them unless Sony annihilates it) for anything.

I have a basic rule for Internet mobs: you fight Internet with internet not with Irl
 
He's human, he's a lawyer, he went in for one thing and Chupp pulled the swerve and did something else. He's not GodEmperor for a reason.
Right, they're adjusting to a more reasonable level. I agree. I just disagreed with the "eating our own" bit. SJWs are particularly brutal when it comes to someone who even slightly wrongthinks.
