Weeb Wars / AnimeGate / #KickVic / #IStandWithVic / #vickicksback - General Discussion Thread

[I can't imagine]

I'm mostly ignoring WW for the time being to wait for the shitstorm to settle down a bit and more reliable information to be available, but I have a question. Didn't Ty file a motion to compel for the discovery that Monica and Ron weren't turning over after their deadline, before the TCPA was filed? Did the judge ever actually rule on that? Because some of the bits on the hearing I looked at suggested that the judge was dinging Ty for not asking to do more discovery during the discovery stay. Which would be an extremely shitty thing to do if the judge couldn't even be assed to rule on the motion to compel discovery that Ty had pending before the discovery stay.

I think this kinda confused a lot of people, but it's fairly simple. Basically, the presumption in a TCPA filing is that you have the prima facie evidence before discovery. Obviously, if you get evidence from discovery before the TCPA is filed, you can use it, but it's neither required nor expected. In other words, it's totally legit to file a TCPA before the motion to compel discovery is resolved, since discovery is never required to file a TCPA.

The judge's criticism was that Ty appeared to be reliant on discovery that had not occurred to demonstrate his prima facie case for some of the claims; in other words, Ty made a claim that he couldn't sufficiently back up with evidence that he should have had prior to discovery. It's disputable as to whether that was actually true, but that was the position. I would assume the core component of Ty's argument, were there to be an appeal, will be that he did have the sufficient elements of a prima facie case for his claims.

Things We Saw Today: Vic Mignogna’s Defamation Suit Dismissed

Vic Mignogna's defamation suits against this former co-workers and Funimation has been dismissed thanks to Texas anti-SLAPP laws.

(For those not following closely, the tortious interference cases have been dropped due to the anit-SLAPP motions, as has the defamation case against Marchi, but the defamation cases against MoRon and Funi are still in play.)

That side shouldn't be gloating.
3 out of 4 of the entities who were suppose to be scott free after TCPA are still in it. Discovery may still eventually happen a that could unleash more shit that won't look good on that side.

They're... blowing their load early, aren't they? Couldn't they wait until the official determination?

Between this and Twitter, I'm becoming convinced Jhonen Vasquez has become God and we're all just living in a world he wrote while bored.

You clearly aren’t that familiar with the Mary Sue. This is extremely typical of them to jump the gun to further spread misinformation.

Not sure if this was posted here or not. But can't say I'm not surprised at the exceptional behavior of kickvic side. Like seriously. What type of point does that prove? This is kind of why I think it's a mix of idiots of iswv and kv gayops. Cause they have ZERO impulse control on the kickvic side. iswv definately has a number of spergs and exceptionals. But like basically going "hahah look at this thing I did!" basically does nothing but make an absolute exceptional dumbass of yourself publicly.

Ah yes, reviews from several years ago that are based off of much older and completely different court cases. This individual could have just said, "Hey, anyone can leave a review, it may not be the best representation since you can run the gamut of angry people who lost cases" and leave it at that. Valid point. But instead, what went through this numbskull's head instead? "Oh, let me abuse this feature to prove the exact same point and look like a curmudgeon!"

They're... blowing their load early, aren't they? Couldn't they wait until the official determination?

It's all about being reactionary and generating buzz when you can. Move the goalposts if there's a sudden swerve, and in a complete loss, just find another target to latch onto for a cause. Repeat until you run out of AdSense revenue.

Those who are new, will be premature, but those with experience will know how to endure to the climax.

oh i just love how the internet works at times.



i'd be surprised about anybody enjoying RWBY past Volume 6. Realtalk: I actually found enjoyment in V4. I could tolerate V5 a bit. But V6 was literally all Agenda and nothing else.

All agenda and no joy make Rooster Teeth a broke company

John Kelly and Nick are going at it in the stream chat waiting for it to start.
This guy just can't quit.

I wonder if the MS type follower needs a constant stream of validation and optimistic news.

Thats because he is trying to kick em when they are down. But what do you expect from a sperg who is trying to pick a fight.

He spergs out on Senpai's stream:
-Argued with the audience
-Demanded no questions and no dropins
-Got pissy when music played

And he thinks he is the right guy to debate nick?
Guy has a history of clout chasing. No wonder why he can't get anywhere.

I salute you for tolerating Volume 5, but I agree that 6 was pandering and not just in the "Look at how Current Year we are, fellow kids!" involving Blake and Yang along with their voice actresses being very irritating for Yellowjacket, despite lacking chemistry.

6 was just them giving the fanservice involving Ruby FINALLY inquiring about her eyes rather than not asking Ozpin like a Volume ago, the Jaune gets aggressive with Oscar confrontation, and lest we forget that 'mysterious' Redheaded Woman voiced by Jen "Insane in the NPC Brain" Brown having a cameo appearance in Argus.

He not trying to debate, it's clear he must be trying to troll in the. " I'M GOING TO BE A ASSHOLE, HA HA LOOK HOW FUNNY I AM" WAY

I'd like to thank each of you who has taken an interest in this case and, most importantly, in the truth. Until I came here, I was serving as a repository for discovery type stuff that would get sent from all over or that I would dig up myself. The Farms lightened my load TREMENDOUSLY by doing much of this gathering. You all literally made my life more manageable!

If what you seek is archived information the farms are second to none regardless o whether they agree or disagree with the subject matter. Its literally in the rules "Archive Everything". I also find it funny when people say that KF is nothing but a site about harassing people online when one of their rules is "Don't pozload my neghole, archive it and laugh". As a matter of fact on this, the only time I have ever seen anyone banned from the site it was either for harassment and organizing/participating in gay ops or for pozloading my neghole.

 

[Adach_Ame]

No, No it isn't.

As the guideline states.

"Don't get baited. This site is not pro- or anti- anything."

Please Do not fool yourself into thinking KF Cares which side wins or loses. KF is here to point and laugh at exceptional People who Sperg out.
No one is sacred, and everyone is a target if they act like a lolcow. Even other kiwies.

Indeed, don't make an ass of yourself, and you should be fine, THO, kickvic side has had far more sperg apple batches. Remember the fake swatting incident? Hahah

Yes, let's attribute a criminal offense to one side, and then use pictures of a past event to try and make one side appear like the dEvIl!

I recorded the entirety of one of her panels at Dragon Con after she asked us not to. It's a boring history of anime but I can post it somewhere if anyone wants. She's fucking full of herself and just as annoying in person.

 

[ItalianMobStripper]

Did it become that way after the guy who created it die? Or has it always been that way?

I'd say the drama escalated after Monty died. I mean, it wasn't after Monty died that at least one "major player" from RoosterTeeth got a thread on the Farms (see Sheena Oum)

In my personal opinion the writing has always been sub-par at best. Later seasons (season 4 and onward) made it painfully clear how much of a wasted potential each character was (Blake comes to mind first and I could go on a spergathon on this, but it's another tale for another time). I guess you could argue that RWBY kind of lost its soul when Monty died, but with his death nothing else was gained or lost.

I think it's an unanimous agreement that RWBY's writing is subpar at best. The appeal of the show always was the eye candy from the fight scenes, because Monty was good to sell that shit

On a small unrelated note, I'd love Viz to start dubbing the "Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe" OVAs and bring Vic along. Just to see the fandom burn.
(And just so we're clear, the JoJo fandom as a whole is quite chill, but the loudest voices from it, especially from Twitter and YouTube, are a bunch of morons)
