AFAIK (not a lawyer yet) but we have some very strict tort laws here. Being where we are regionally, there's no shortage of hungry firms willing to take on an easy slam dunk of a case.
I find it amusing that everyone calls it Kitchener Con, and the owner forgot that is what he named the twitter account. It was bugging him earlier until I pointed it out to him, then he just facepalmed.
Hi fellow Kiwis, here's a helpful guide for explaining consent to people who don't understand how to properly voice their feelings. This is very important so pay attention.
Let's say you own a dog.
Now, it can be any breed of dog but for the purpose of setting the scene I'm gonna say sheepdog.
You're minding your own business and all of a sudden you look up and see that sheepdog shitting on your carpet.
Do you:
(A) Discipline the dog immediately with a stern "NO" and redirect the behavior.
Or
(B) Wait over a decade until the dog has become famous and discipline the dog for shitting on the carpet in front of a large group of people to show them just how bad of a dog they are, then take to social media to post about that time your dog shit on the carpet and how terrified it made you feel.
If you chose A, congrats. You aren't fucking stupid.
If you chose B, your name might be Jamie Marchi or Monica Rial.

It should be C: Your dog is a gud boi and shits outside. However, you hate you dog so much you take a shit on your own carpet, take a picture of it, and pass it off as the dog's. Meanwhile the doggo is confused why people are yelling at him for shitting on the carpet when it never happened.
seriously, don't people know that actually having hair on your head makes you look less fat? she'd probably look presentable if she didn't shave her head
You should check out her work on shinkenger as dayuu, its pretty good and she was giorno in the ps2 golden wind, the latest work she's doing is a villain in ryuusoulger.
Sadly the danger hairs are still trying to justify the abuse, its worse when Monica blamed the ex wife if ron from getting the wrath of the remote. I hope amber gets the all the scrutiny that johnny got. She abused almost every boyfriend she had. #weheardyoujohnnny
"forced to sign NDA"? That sounds a bit weird, unless they were given early access to scripts and they don't want the person using those materials to dub for another outfit.
However if that is the case, and they had scripts early, WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T THEY KNOW THE CONTENT OF THE SERIES?!‽
This entire IR debacle reeks of both Sony's sudden turn for pearl clutching puritanism, and Funi's incompetence. My guess is that they got the scripts early based off some JP hype and didn't even bother to read or watch the show, instead translating and voicing it one after another as it's broadcast, and Sony quickly realized it's porn with plot and put a lid on it....or someone realized that doing THIS while in the Vic lawsuit was Not A Good Look™.
NOt gonna dunk on him for this. It'll be good for him to get outdoors and get some fresh air, associate with people. Wear clothes.
The translator was probably a contractor. "Fired" in this instance means they probably just canceled the contract. NDA probably because they don't want the translator talking about the content of the show. It definitely props up the theory that this came down from Funimation legal, though.
As for the content of the series, it's complex. Apparently the manga is nowhere near as lewd as the anime.

Chapter 8 / Second Half of Episode 4 is a good example of the issue.

Image dump time. I'll put the really porny stuff behind spoilers.
Angel hermaphrodite boygirl gets woken up and asked to go to the volcano region.
While there, the cast goes to a BBQ joint that uses Salamander girls as the ovens.
This is a variant of a real fetish in real life, Nyotaimori, which is Sushi and Raw fish laid out over a nude woman.
The manga has basic pinup stuff
It goes a little further:
But cuts to a random bathing scene in the middle of it all.
The Salamander girl wants sex, but the guys aren't fire resistant
But the Angel is
And that's where it cuts out.
So, how did they do that in the anime?
Our Hermaprhodite boygirl is woken up:
They stop and actually have a combat scene on the way, while explaining they make money doing courier work since they're apparently really strong adventurers
A serious discussion yadda yadda... by the way, they never miss an opportunity to show off the angel's genitals.
They go to the BBQ place. (I do love the art style of the sign, that sytilized chibi look is *chefkiss*)
And they spend over half the anime animating sizzling meet over a naked dragon girl in glorious 1080p detail.
They go into more detail about the fire area, like how there are actually not-brothel places
But the one off joke about the Elf grilling meat on the Dragon's vagina is shown in full 1080p hd, instead of just being a one off thing.
The sausage cooking bit is similarly extended, and animated:
And again, just as he's inserting a sausage into her vagina to cook, they flash to the bathing scene.
The guys start to bail, but the angel guygirl has too big of an erection to fly away
Glistening Oil and BBQ sauce covered Dragongirl switches poses, which is just a 1 panel thing in the manga, but fully animated here:
Our little Angel boygirl is seduced
And unlike it just ending here like in the manga...
First our little angel boygirl gets a handjob from the Salamander, animated, like a 1990s Showtime late night original or something
And our little angel eats the Salamander out
Which is shown with the bare minimum possible censorship.
So yeah, that's episode 4, compared to the manga. Episode 4 also had the "Lesser Succubus" brothel, which I can't seem to find. But that's the difference between the manga and the anime -- not only does the anime have extended stuff, they animate it a lot more lewdly. The manga is just a silly slice of life thing, actually more interesting because of the whole "tons of races living together" sorta thing.
If they went in thinking it was going to be the manga, and got the anime, well, I almost can forgive them for being shocked. Almost.
Well, good on him. Hopefully he can keep his clothes on until he gets back to his hotel room.

Problem is, they had to talk to people to license it. Its ecchi. Its lewd. They have a history of getting cold feet with controversy. I'm sure they got a little heat and folded comically.

As far as I'm aware, one of the media stations already turfed the story they were going to run, using the info they got from Lynn and Walter. I saw the correspondence, saying that the reporter was told to drop it and not pursue it.
The venue is leaving it up to the PR team of the convention to sink or swim.
I hope what they're doing is talking with BHBC and sending them every email. That's all TI. And that would be new cases of TI that they could bring up even outside of the current lawsuit.
Yeah, ManJaw doesn't have any money to pay Vic if she loses. But she also could never pay back a $180,000 USD legal bill.

We're gonna have to file a FOIA to get the e-mails from City Hall, if we want to go that route. Mostly because from what I heard, they refused to say who they got "inquiries" from, after one person mentioned Lynn by name to another staff member, prior to the meeting.
because private events celebrating a niche interest are the perfect place for disruptive protests.
the con should hire private riot police. maybe the riot shields can even have Uzuaki chan or Kasumi on it. Let's see how tough those SJWs are when they're being dragged away in handcuffs.
Time for the Jawbeast to start REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEing. Still disappointed no one outside Dominique started gay-ops at the cons he's at; by now KV would be assblasted enough that he's not dead/still getting cons to start some brand of trouble at the cons just in case Manjaw and her toadies bad Yelp reviews don't scare the cons.
