Remember that Minnesota Lawyer article that took place in late September and early October? Well, Nick actually covered it on the last livestream and, as you can imagine, it's flawed, although it’s nowhere near as bad as most blog articles covering this. The writer's name is Kevin Featherly. Here are highlights:
  1. He spelled Nick Rekieta's last name right on the photo caption, but then spells it wrong throughout the article.
  2. Featherly writes that Vic is using the GFM money to help sue "two women who took to social media to accuse him of inappropriate behavior", as well as Ron Toye and Funimation and separates them in two paragraphs, since you need to fit your your narrative
  3. Mignogna sued the defendants for 20 counts, rather than the actual 17.
  4. The judge dropped 15 charges on September 6th, as opposed to the actual 12. He at least got the other 5 claims dismissed right.
  5. Allison Cooke's infamous tweet was apparently "anonymous".
  6. Monica Rial "reposted" that tweet, which Nick says inadvertently proved that this set the stage for the firestorm.
  7. “A group of attorneys critiquing the case through the #Lawtwitter hashtag also got sucked into the controversy".
  8. The relationship between Rikieta and Vic is "hard to gauge", even though rational human beings know it's not, and then says Vic didn't know "Rikieta" before the GFM campaign was launched.
  9. He got everything about the grandfather’s trust topic mostly correct, except saying that “Rikieta” is one of the beneficiaries.
  10. “Rikieta”’s legal analysis is described between “quiet, almost cerebral” and “rough house attacks on the defense”.
  11. My favorite part of this article: “Doxxing means digging up and publishing home addresses, phone numbers and even cars owned by people so that others can target them for intimidation and harassment, often in person”.
  12. “Rikieta” refused to return any of the telephone calls to the writer...while he was in Hawaii.
  13. S. Jean Phlegmoine is referred to as “Escalation Sean Lemoine”. I’m not kidding.
  14. Featherly says that Phlegmoine filed an anti-SLAPP motion seeking to depose Nick, which isn’t true.
  15. Nick sadly reminds everyone that Vic is never going to be rehired by Funimation and Rooster Teeth now that a settlement opportunity has been thrown out of the window.
  16. After discussing Chupp and the mediation situation, Nick does an awesome rant shitting on Funimation and the defendants for what they did to Vic, all because of a stupid tweet by Hanleia.
  17. Speaking of Nick, he mocks Featherly’s sentence about Lawtwitter criticizing Nick’s behavior over “conflict of interest”
To be fair, Nick did say it was relatively fair and Featherly did get a few things right and correct. Still, it’s sad that the best we can get from a mainstream news outlet regarding this lawsuit.

It starts at around 1:16:00 if anyone’s curious.

Christ almighty. How did that article get that much wrong? How did it get that much wrong and remain credible?

Anime conventions were never supposed to be an industry nor a profession. They were supposed to be a bunch of fans getting together to celebrate the stuff they loved, which is how the whole "by fans, for fans" tagline became a thing. When anime was hitting it's first boom at the turn of the century, you got a flood of casuals (think comic con getting people who saw the Lord of the Rings movies) and for a variety of reasons (some good, some bad) cons put a lot of effort into hanging onto these people that often were only really into anime for a year or two. And that's the abridged version of how cons went from being basically a larger version of 20-somethings hanging out and talking about anime at someone's house, to a new career choice for a bunch of jagoff, college dropouts.

TLDR: Early cons lacked "professionalism" because they were never supposed to be professional to begin with.

I get that it evolved into what it is today. The problem is that KickVic is denying those roots. They are saying "that isn't okay now, it wasn't okay then." Then why did you do it then?

They are scapegoating Vic for behavior everyone engaged in. If no one is pure then the entire industry needs to be burned down and rebuilt to fit the "purity" test, right?

Why are they crying about that? Or we can accept people as human beings and let people work. Which do they want?

Hanleia included real events about him in her made up story about Vic.
That's who @Iron Hamster is talking about.
The charges were dismissed dropped.

I think the chance that this is a troon is around 41% or more.

Honestly, I fucking wish every time one of this awful warmongering tweets gets posted people responded with "Remember kids, this is what "healing the anime community" looks like", until it becomes a fucking meme. But I ain't got nearly enough time to do it myself. (avoiding as much power level as I can, I'm studying a pretty fucking hard STEM degree and partial exams are dropping right now. Hell, next one is tomorrow and the next is monday, so yeah, freetime basically doesn't exist for me right now except for 15 mins breaks.)

Chuck seems oddly quiet about posts like this, fucking cowardly hypocritical cuck.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you never act like a moral arbiter on Twitter. Vic learned it after that one Tweet telling fans to stop harassing, and now Chuck’s going to learn that the hard way.

"The anime community is in tatters because of bad man Vic and his fans. It can heal if Vic kills himself tho. See, if he chooses to kill himself, that makes it okay because it's his choice and it just means he's guilty of everything."

Okay, big brain thonk lady.

Edit:
Also as a side note because I saw some folks throwing shade at Chuck Huber, you have to understand that he's being a shitty peacekeeper because he's trying to look out for himself. He risked everything to speak out against Funimations wierdo clique and casting couch shit and the TCPA hearing failed horrendously. Until appeals go through and are approved, Chuck is a sitting duck. He knows they could be targetting him next so he's trying to play nice with both sides to avoid this. Remember that Vic himself doesn't like any negatively, so it can be assumed that Chuck is just trying to pass on Vic's sentiments it can come off as policing. I don't like the policing by Chuck, but I can at least somewhat understand why he's doing it.

What Chuck is doing is the polar opposite of what Vic was doing. Vic wanted his fans to talk about their positive experiences with him and not be misinformed. Chuck is lecturing Vic’s fans like little children and while not giving the same treatment ton the other side. And it’s backfiring spectacularly. He’s doing significant harm to Vic and even himself.

I see Underdog Big Turd is still running his mouth like he matters.

Michele is up to some thottery, as usual. It's blatantly obvious she only gets with men to better herself and her career since she's got about as much talent as Taco Bell's mystery meat. She's still on Vic's dick in the sense of riding off the success he brought her.
I really hope that she gets a dose of karma soon.

KV speds keep getting slapped by Twitter for their behavior which is nice.

NPR proving how useless they are, as well. I said this before but Time's Up is the PETA of MeToo. And they're grossly unsuccessful at what they do. So really, just like PETA, nothing happens besides a lot of screaming but you'll certainly find a few bodies in the dumpster behind their HQ.

Gonna casually cross-post this from the WeebWars law thread.
I looked through Casey Erick's charges and found this.
1573148715174.png


Client : 11637
Client name: FUNIMATION

Meeting with Ron Toye. Assuming redacted is Monica Rial.

That famous VA that we all know so well for his brazen and distinct work within the field of 'I do not recall'. Bringing life to the simplest of words with his exceptional spirit.

I wanna see who paid up! Was he that good on Sabat's casting couch?

Nobody has a snack tray that is stocked as well as Ron's. Nobody cleans up as well as him either.

Then you start to wonder. Did Casey Erick co-operate with Funimation closer than they should in such a case?
Even though he is not part of 'their' team? I mean......he might be?
Wasn't there something when this started about how they all needed to have seperate councel due to possible conflict of interest. But if Funi is the client paying for this and Ron the actual client, then isn't that.....kinda wandering into that area?

This is only speculations coming from me but it seems like FUNImation is more concerned by this case that they might want to make everyone believe.
These informations must be leaked and as the situation unfold we might get an appropriate reply.
