I'll do you one better. I corrected the hashtag typos. I like your file name better, though.
Anyway, it's absolutely inappropriate for Chupp to say stupid things like 'heal the anime community'. I don't care what's a 'good look' or a 'bad look'. The judge shouldn't be concerned with anything except the actual case. This isn't about healing or fracturing a community, it's about a man falsely accused, purposefully defamed and ruined by people he worked with and called friends.

That specific concern, echoing the language of defendants, really sounds like bias.

It does, but it also paints the defendants into a glorious corner. If they don't play nice, and they go in refusing to settle, then there goes their precious narrative

Remember how Judge Chupp just shrugged when Jim Bullock proposed what he is now ordering the parties to do?

Is it me, or does Chupp just have a completely different tone in this hearing from the TCPA one onward? Sure, he's a little clueless and a little like 'why am I here?' but he seems way more flippant and dismissive and...I dunno. Weird, now. Maybe something biased or prejudiced him against Vic before the TCPA hearing?
ETA: Is it possible he could have seen that Griftsby article before the hearing, because he's old fart enough to read the newspaper, and her spin just biased him against the case? Maybe he'd yet to read any of the filings not directly communicating with him until then.

Lemongasp and his binder. He didn't distribute it to the other parties, so nobody knows what was actually in it.

That makes sense, but it's also worth noting that Chupp dismissed all of Ty's motions to strike evidence before that + after the article. The binder seems far more likely, but with as much of a fuddy-duddy as Chupp is, I wonder. Except you'd think a judge would specifically be taught not to let the media influence his read on a case.

He's had a change in tone in literally every single hearing so far. This latest secret hearing he was far more reserved and chill. He also seemed to urge more to settling than he seemed keen on ruling on the case.

I think it's safe to say that he really doesn't care deeply about all the threats and he uses them just as an excuse to appoint a mediation. And he is actually afraid that he will be torn apart on appeal.

It would be better if the court decided his lawsuit had some merit rather than completely dismissing it as a shoddy attempt to silence his victims. That's the narrative people are already using and even it was overturned on appeal, that would take many months.

It should go forward so that discovery can be conducted and this time the defense can't weasel out. Another point to bring up....doesn't the fact that they deposed Vic and conducted discovery on him imply that the defense thinks there's merit in the case??
I mean, Chupp man could rule however he felt he needed to or even told both parties to fuck off and pay their own bills afterwards but I feel like this is the bigger L for Chupp to take. He's basically asking for trouble.
Just read that hearing for mediation (thanks to thoses who removed that stain).
Two things: When he talks about the community, and how he wants to heal the community, he never mentionned Anime. I firmly believe he's talking about Tarrant County's community. "Threats" have been received but he feels as if they are valid (keep telling the lawyers to watch their backs). It sounds like he believes the average citizen is being radicalized by this case.
Doesn't that opens him up to a mistrial call? He's absolutely not interested in what the torts are on the docket, what prejudice the plaintiff has and is having, and just want this case to go away before it even starts? It truly sounds to me that whatever the merit of the case could be, he wouldn't care or check that, and try to get it out asap. That sounds... dangerous to his career.

Man, that was a sad read from Chupp. "Sometimes they (The Appeals Court) agree with me, sometimes they don't, I don't take it to heart" - Could he come off as more miserable than that. Really reads as a "I may have fucked up and I may end up in more misery because of it".
Also, what is this garbage of "healing"? Is he a fucking hippie? There is a reason why this has gone to court...because they couldn't heal beforehand, that's why they are there, throwing dirt and shade at each other. The guy even takes that completely lame, impotent threat of an e-mail seriously and blows it out of proportion. You are in Texas, the one place that people would not want to mess around with on account of being shot if they do. This guy needs to grow a pair.
We have had lolyers, I never expected the judge to be a source of exceptionalism in a case as well.

It's as @AnOminous said. "Healing the anime community" is practically a direct quote from the defendants. Only they keep parroting that nonsense, and it has zero bearing on the case. It's like he read the defendants' binder, somewhere in there it harped on about how this was 'harming the anime community' and 'they all want to just start healing and get past this' and he bought it for some reason. Which sounds like bias.
Once again, the judge really shouldn't care if this case burns the anime community to the ground. That isn't his concern. His concern should be how the law applies to a case about defamation, tortious interference, and conspiracy.
