Shane has spent months sperging out on Twitter trying to get dragged into the suit.
Douchette raised money to directly insert himself into the suit.
And these people are calling Nick a grifter?
Cody would have the two videos they watched. As for why he didn't upload them to YouTube, I imagine that Nick asked him not to do that. Nick has the files, so if he wanted them to be shared in that way, he could do it himself.
Ah. There will be time when the war is done to document what happened. The interviews will be great.
"We fought them in the Reddits, we fought them in the Twitter's. It was dirty fighting, the kind that leaves you feeling sullied no matter how many times shower.
It was madness. Lovecraftian even. These people had sacrificed Logic to a dark, blasphemous god.
We fought because our way of life was threatened. Because there wouldn't be a tomorrow if these people won. Just howling madness would remain."

UPDATE: July 23, 2019 The Social Media Front
- Stan Dahlin, Founder of Kawaii Con and board member of Anime Weekend in Atlanta, who was mentioned in Monica Rial's account the events of Izumicon 2007 (which Dahlin owned at the time), found himself confused and bewildered at the turn of events and being mentioned in legal documents.
“20 years of experience being an anime convention organizer and guest relations director. When I was with Anime Weekend Atlanta we had a black list for guests we would never invite to the show. Short list that you could count on one hand.”
“I should clarify a statement I made. "I" had a blacklist. Since I was the guest relations director for AWA at the time it was my job to determine who to invite to our show. Those who were on the list...3 (males} were from anime and 1 (female) from the comics industry.”
“Only one of them actually attended the show prior to being put on the blacklist. They also get the honor for being the first person to start the blacklist. I don't know if AWA itself has a blacklist now as I had left them back in 2015 with the list.”
“I have been away from the convention scene for sometime.....I guess you can say I kind of stepped away from all of it and cut all media outlets. Much to my surprise when I poke my head up on social media to see this lawsuit, friends involved and my name.”
Dahlin was also surprised to hear a name mentioned during Vic Mignogna's deposition. Dahlin dropped clues to the individual's identity.
When this person was later revealed to be Faisal Jamaluddin Ahmed, Dahlin criticized Ahmed and the claims in Ahmed's affidavit:
“Ok. Now that Monica/Ron TCPA has now been filed I know now why this persons name was mentioned. This person has added their statement to this case. Man. They love to drop names. Don't they?”
“Ok. Now that Monica/Ron TCPA has now been filed I know now why this persons name was mentioned. This person has added their statement to this case. Man. They love to drop names. Don't they?”
“Correcting my last sentence. You voted to ban Vic from your shows and "Neither Monica, Ron, Jamie or Funi contacted you to ban him." Yup Ok Whatever.”
“The person Faisal name dropped has now come out to set the record straight. You thought because she lives and works overseas that you were safe to add that story?”
“2) Vic Mignogna has never paid for my airfare to fly me to a convention. @NickRekieta @ThatUmbrella @YellowFlashGuy @_Hero_Hei_ @SENPAiSNTHOME @RealClownfishTV”
“4) I did ask not to be assigned to Vic Mignogna at AWA in 2014/2015. I did not make any assertion that I would not staff the event if that request wasn't honored.”
“I feel a little awkward to suddenly have so many people looking at my Twitter. I apologize for not being a better host but what I've already posted is all I have for you. https://t.co/IXTrDLeG52”
“Hi again everyone. While reading through all your lovely comments I've noticed that there seems to be some confusion over the meaning of some of my posts. Let's try this again, with very precise wording: https://t.co/XwVJI0V31g”

- ThatUmbrellaGuy, ComicsGate and IStandWithVic YouTuber, apparently was doxed by the likes of Renfamous, Krissy, Lynn Hunt, and other members of KickVic. Shannon McCormick, voice actor for Agent Washington in Rooster Teeth's Red vs. Blue and Professor Ozpin in RWBY, also joined the fracas:
“Hey Mr. Boyette, thanks for stopping by. An associate who has been hassled by @ThatUmbrella shared his name with me. I laughed at joke yesterday and said I wsa "holding it in my back pocket." I have not shared and will not share any said information. Tell TUG to stop lurking...
“See, you, you I can respect in that your put you name to your work. May not be to my taste, but you're honest. TUG uses his anonymity to play the victim when convenient. It's how he stays relevant. https://t.co/SGC4LGbTju”
“@Edwin_Boyette @ThatUmbrella Of course. Father to father for sure. TUG does like to play the drama queen for clicks, and I suspect he keeps hidden because he worries about what his employers might think, but your mileage may vary on that. You use your name. Ethan uses his name. Doug, etc. Why...
“@Edwin_Boyette @ThatUmbrella And I'll go on the record that I admire his hustle. I wish less of the hustle consisted of the manufactured grievances and outrages and more on just the comics-side. Again, your mileage may vary.”
“@Edwin_Boyette @ThatUmbrella One side note--TUG, your life is gonna be a lot happier if you just concentrate on comics and stop lurking on your detractors' profiles. Personally I never know what bullshit you're up to until some tags me in because I don't care what you're up to until you're...
“Voice Actor involved in Vic Mignogna attacks posts about having my name. He's "saving it." Yeah - and now he's doing damage control. Damage done, bud. Damage done. Because YOU won't threaten me, or your child-threatening "associates"”
“Shannon, deflecting from attacking my life and playing "got yo DOX," and joining in with ppl that LITERALLY talked about hunting my family. Riddle me this: you cant even stand not responding. How would you respond if assholes went at you and your family for YEARS? such liars.”
“If you missed the livestream, 1. Krissy created a fake "stan" account where she used my name. 2. while add my middle initial plus a tie to more, 3. AND an umbrella man pic 4. as Shannon McCormick added he was "hold THIS in his back pocket." 5. Ren shared it. NOW its SPIN...”
“@MercanteSchiavi @DesertCoyote615 "self-doxed" lol. I love they're idea of self doxing. "We just posted your name and other details as well, AND had a VA confirm we're doing that, BUT..."”
“I get some people disagree with how I handled the dox thing. "Never admit" But we've had stuff go on that isn't public knowledge, that required reporting. Not derpderping. IDC about that. That's the reality of having a voice. SOMEONE will ALWAYS want it silenced.”
“They do damage control while also doing damage. It's their way. Remember Nancy? Gave money to a GFM and got her face and job splashed everywhere? Remember events leading to Boyette and Simeti's swattings? Sadly 4 them, Krissy AND McCormick admitted what they were doing...
“There's NO harassment though right? Just a bat to the mailbox just a little while ago while my daughter and I were outside. Nice friends you got there.”
“LOL- meanwhile, in reality. Car rolls through in DAYLIGHT to take down a mailbox. Not even hiding the fact. 3 days into "We KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE." Totally a racoon. Fucking dbags. https://t.co/Xo3JjzvZpt”
“@KandMComics LOL- should I mount that excuse right there with "Renfamous NEVER threatened tok dox you" " never had your dox" You idiots will EXCUSE anything.”
“Right there. REMEMBER, the SAME accounts screaming for months that they DIDN'T HAVE TUG'S DOX are the doxxers. They had pictures ready on the day of, and private information. They'll try to spin it, but fuck them. They nailed themselves. https://t.co/5PV5Na9ouM”
“People asked, so" We've taken precautions against 1. swatting 2. workplace BS. Additionally, we've 3. contacted CPS because of the threats that "were TOTES just a joke because ppl threatening/hunting kids didn't have our dox," only THEY DID. Thank you all, sincerely.”
The Frontlines of the Weeb Wars (aka the TL;DR Edition)
The Legal Front
-Teleconference hearing on the 1st of August.
-John Volney (Counsel for Funimation) has a change of heart and attempts a last minute letter to the honorable Judge ChuBB. Proposal would give BHBH an extra two weeks to respond to TCPA motions. In providing Ty's email Volney's letter doxxxxes the number and password to the conference call.
-Ty submits a timeline and page count as his exhibit for the hearing.
-August 1st hearing results in Judge Chupp granting BHBH extra time to respond. Plaintiff has until the 30th of August to respond to TCPA motions and hearing is set for the 6th of September. This is an extra day than BHBH asked for as Lemonparty has claimed to be in court on the 29th of August.
-Edit: Chupp has asked BHBH for a motion to strike checklist, indicating he is likely to strike at least some sections of defendants TCPA motions.

-The Paedophile Jaw continues to shoot itself in the foot. Was in Tokyo during the 2010 convention. Also provides two screenshotsclaiming to be Tekko CEO's notes that prove her ramblings. Such stunning evidence that Mari Ijima =/= Vic Mignogna , 'Mangina's' contract is done and redacted doesn't want to deal with his shit.
-ANN puts out another hit-piece cobbled together from Manjaw's insane ramblings.
-Quaterpounder has started a kickfundme for TUG that's currently at ~$9k. You should pay TUG, he is sad
-TUG now has a thread
UPDATE (04/08/2019):
- Lemonparty, Rial and Marchi co-ordinate to have a hit piece written in a Dallas newspaper. Picks the worst possible day to drop the story as it's likely to be buried against an El Paso mass shooting incident with a Dallas perpetrator and <15h later an Ohio mass shooting incident.
-Expected ANN hit-piece to follow soon.

- Vic Mignogna's appearance at Open Jar Studios was canceled (which may or may not have been due to Jennifer Lynn Hunt) and Mignogna tweeted that he still planned to hold an event in Times Square:
“NYC signing update! I WILL be signing in Times Square on Saturday. We were able to find a venue that will allow us to sign all day instead of just a few hours or Saturday evening. Be watching for details on the venue- hope to see lots of you there!”
“Hi from NYC! I’m looking very forward to meeting as many of you as possible tomorrow starting at 10 AM in the Barrymore room at the Marriott Marquis Times Square!”
- Shane Holmberg is helping organize Shoudaku Con,
A conference intended to promote the exchange of ideas, opinions, and views; with the intent of laying the necessary foundation to construct an archetype convention for the 21st Century.
Welcome to The Era of Enthusiastic Consent.
Shoudaku Con is about more than just consent in in real life spaces, but how consent, sexuality, dating, and interactions are appearing in our online spaces, anime, media, and video games.
Shoudaku Con strives to inform, educate, and evolve perspectives. We aim to improve every branch, offshoot, and affiliate of the convention culture, Anime or otherwise.
Our team is, ambitious maybe, but dedicated to laying the foundation necessary to design the archetype standard that strives to protect attendees from unwanted attention and/or contact while fostering an environment that exemplifies the safest convention space yet.
Shoudaku Con promotes inviolable safe spaces, and emphasizes the necessity of Enthusiastic Consent when interacting with Convention Attendees, Guest, and Staff alike.

- Kiwis uncovered that the original tweet Allison Cooke aka hanleia used to launch the Weeb Wars used the post by a self-admitted brain-damaged user on Pretty Ugly Little Liars (PULL) named Nyahko for the basis (courtesy of @Point of Some Return):
Nyahko's allegations did not match up with any known allegations about Vic Mignogna marrying a sixteen-year-old, but it does 100% matches that of former Funimation voice actor Illich Guardiola. Guardiola did marry a sixteen-year-old student of his with the consent of the girl's mother. Ironically, Guardiola dated Monica Rial in the past.
- Ron Toye apparently is hiring someone to transcribe Nick Rekieta's livestreams and is seemingly joining @MarzGurl in trying to dox IStandWithVic YouTubers Yellow Flash and ThatUmbrellaGuy (though, TUG apparently has been doxed already) (courtesy of @Devilish Bodhisattva):
