I have to admit that I'm a bit conflicted here. Not about the case itself; I stand with the victims 100% and believe them here. But SLAPP laws are often a way of maintaining power imbalances by proactively discouraging suits by smaller parties against larger corporations and such, and even in a case like this where the cause is a good one I'm a little leery of using this tool.

The difference is that Ty Beard has ties to KiwiFarms and to Nick Reikieta who on a daily basis during this lawsuit belittled the defendants, mocked their legal basis, and ginned up hate from his audience. Who else gave Nick those deposition videos? Sure wasn't any of the defendants. This isn't some crowd of anonymous trolls. |

Maybe he should have listened to actual lawyers and not two bumbling grifters.

As great as that would be, I'm not sure how totally legal that is, since the money would be going to the defendants directly (unless Rial, Toye, and Marchi decide to donate it to them themselves, though I don't see why Funimation would). Also, considering just how many people Vic has been shown to harass, that's going to take a looooooong time. |

I wonder how many of them were losing lawyers? I mean, its just like people bringing up the complaints about Funi on Glassdoor. Rarely do happy people leaving or winning write a glowing review, its always disgruntled employees or those on the losing side bitching.
This little tid bit piqued my interest. The first part would explain the co-council, but the latter part... There is a stench of conflict of interest (litigation lawyer wanting to limit something that limits his litigations) and also as a proof case. The cynic in me sees this as being used by him as an example of why said laws needed to be limited, which makes me suspect of him as a senator and even more suspect of the firm itself after its other actions. |

I know he's done a lot of faults but I have a soft spot since he did my favourite character in persona 3. In the end, I really hope he learned his lesson to never do this to women again. It would have been better if he never did it in the first place. Maybe he will find himself and do more good in the world after this.

Given the video he posted on Unlocked last week, I do not think he will ever learn. |

Vic actually said something about anything? He's been really silent about the whole lawsuit. Anyone mind giving a summary? |

Pretty curious about this too. Is there a link or summary of what he said and did he address anything about the lawsuit or just spoke generally about how he totally isn't a sex predator and pretend that the twins' affidavits don't exist? |

I saw a brief clip, and he said something about hugs being under attack and no longer being allowed. Said that like he has no idea what consent is

Was that the one he had in New York? the one at a basement two or three blocks away from Anime New York or a Comic Con NY In that video he claims he's only in trouble for giving people a hug, when they did't want it "sob sob" his tears are as fake there as they were back in Jan. [update] Here is what I have found recently... https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1192171018250543105 Vic is still not sorry. He is still lying. Biggest lie in this video "I've not asked for a boat load of money" (he was suing the defendants for over a million dollars) |

Mike Toole put up more of the video - with captions!
https://twitter.com/MichaelToole/status/1192181012744331264 Apparenlty he thinks suing for millions isn't "a ton of money." I expect he'll soon be recalibrating on that point once he grasps how much he's on the hook for. I didn't see anything about not knowing what consent is or hugs under attack. Just complaining about "healing the community" meaning without him in it. Well, yeah, Vic, you cut out a tumor, then you heal. You don't heal while it's still active and growing.

The case is taking on a whole new layer, on Sept. 18th, less than one week after Judge Chupp dismissed 12 of the 17 charges, Vic placed his house into a trust signed and approved by Ty. It's pretty dang obvious Vic wants to declare bankruptcy so he doesn't have to pay the defendants and be able to keep his house. He's coward. We'll see how the judge looks at this. |

D I had to chuckle on that.
