.... Streisand Effect, plz
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
Suing Funi, THE anime dubbing house? Yeah, at this point he just doesn't gaf about his career no more. He just wants money.
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
not a lawyer but isn’t it real hard to prove defamation as it is
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
harder when none actually happened, mind you
duck bastard
i believe so, especially in regards to celebrity stuff, iirc? don't qoute me
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
i also note he’s not throwing rt under the bus too which is odd/interesting/the man’s a lunatic
duck bastard
mhm, a very curious thing
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
also interesting is rial’s fiance like do you even know who he is or are you just throwing shit at a dartboard
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
basically it’s just THAT’S A BOLD STRATEGY, COTTON
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
maybe he thinks he can salvage something with them? (nah vic, you can't work in texas anymore.)
papermint tiger
this is going to be. Interesting. To watch
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
god only knows
Doctor Ansem
Nah, the Vic stans are more or less claiming the Funi staff are all all in on it, and Ron had said some mean things to Vic's lawyer on twitter
Tonberry King
or else he thinks that the fiance is somehow behind this
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
this is gonna be amazing
Doctor Ansem
Which is totes evidence guise we swear
Tonberry King
🌸Percsettia🌸
they keep saying that ron is a funimation agent or employee
🌸Percsettia🌸
which is false
🌸Percsettia🌸
and the ann mention was incorrect
duck bastard
does anyone know if the lawyer mentioned is the same guy with a youtube channel and who did blackface
🌸Percsettia🌸
yuuuup
🌸Percsettia🌸
oh no sorry I was incorrect
🌸Percsettia🌸
blackface lawyer is just enabling and releasing information
🌸Percsettia🌸
ty beard is someone else
Dragons Dragons
Wow.
Maidstrong
oooho boy
🐅 its harry
lmao holy shit
duck bastard
looked up an article on defamation
Defamation Law Made Simple
GAY SHEEP
Jumping to the bottom and everything, there's so much that demands! he! knows! everyone that's accused him and went to others in confidence, with explicit proof and witnesses! (To every person, meanwhile Funimation's investigations probably hold all of these)
GAY SHEEP
like, wanting proof and witnesses to things vic had done in a hotel room, that was just them
papermint tiger
i kind of hope this wrecks him. It probably won't, but yaknow
papermint tiger
gotta have hopes
GAY SHEEP
The most ridiculous part is expecting over 1mil back. Not just 1mil, but that and anything more that might come up like, bitch please. You're a B VA at best, you didn't lose a million from this.
Dragons Dragons
His ego won't let him realize that he hasn't been popular in a long time. (That and the new crowd that suddenly worships him...)
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
when 70% of those people are legit just there to scream at women, like that legit gets them off and not in a good way.
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
but yeah I legit hope he never works again.
duck bastard
i hope funi destroys him
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
because you know, suing the biggest anime dub/distributer in the country isn't going endear you to other places.
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
you ain't gonna work in this country again, my dude with that behavior.
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
also I had NO IDEA Funi was owned by Sony. That's bodes very well for this lawsuit. /sarcasm
Tonberry King
also the fan accusations and rumors FAR predate anything Funimation finally did
papermint tiger
yeah
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
what do people have to gain from taking down a C list voice actor who has only 1-3 major roles people know him for? why do people think there's some major plot to take him down?
papermint tiger
because he runs a cult, has a persecution complex, and thinks he's much cooler than he actually is
papermint tiger
that is to say, Vic thinks they have somethign to gain, or at least that's what he tells his cult
duck bastard
and then you have the gamergater types in on it, who don't care about Vic but care about stupid alt right/gamergater type bullshit
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
the gamergater part is weird bc those people HATE dubs.
duck bastard
but they love defending mediocre white men even more
papermint tiger
oh yeah the fact that Vic can say 'oh a woman is out to get me' must make him so happy, because it's such a hotbutton topic sort of thing these days
papermint tiger
it probably pulled in a lot of people who don't know or care about the context/his past
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
Nick Reiketa isn't representing Vic. Tyrone Beard is.
duck bastard
listen, can anyone blame me for not wanting to remember the name of a creepy youtube blackface lawyer
duck bastard
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ : Sony has a full ass FOOTBALL team of lawyers and that's just Sony America.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
LMAO
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
No, you're good, James
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
Holy shit.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
I've been watching this entire fiasco (plus I used to work for Sony), I highly doubt this will go anywhere
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
Vic's called the wrath on himself. (Not Disney level but STILL.)
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
I'll be shocked if this isn't settled out of court.
duck bastard
I hope it goes somewhere, and that's down to hell where Vic can be put
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
Or Vic ends up giving up.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
Honestly, there might not even be a settlement because Vic himself isn't rich enough to afford to keep this stunt going. Egotistical, yes. But the man isn't rich.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
Ty Beard's and his office aren't cheap.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
If anything, Ty Beard took this case just to gain internet fame and nothing else.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
This is like his way of promoting his office if anything
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
I don't see how Vic will win it but I have seen the documents he filed today
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
They're using everything Monica Rial, Jamie Marchi, Ron Toye, Chris Sabbat and others said about Vic as proof of Funimation's collusion in this defamation lawsuit.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
So yes, there's images of their public Twitter posts in the documents
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
This might be an interesting case to watch but not for Vic, but rather for those who represent companies on social media platforms
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
Vic's career is dead. Null and void but this case might open a can of worms for those who speak publicly on Twitter with some sort of corporation linked to their names
papermint tiger
oh boy
papermint tiger
that kind of sucks
GAY SHEEP
Yeah. This is going to have a bigger impact on helping set standards on how accountable people are on twitter, and the kind of weight it's seen as.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
GAY SHEEP :Exactly.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
That's why people ought to watch this scam of a case because this might be a game changer on that account alone
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
Honestly, social media is like the Wild West of opinions.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
We've seen people fired for posting nonsense online and that trend will only continue
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
You have folks being fired over political alignment and everything else
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
But Vic is barking at the wrong tree if he thinks he'll get his career back
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
That shit is done, son.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
I'm shocked it took, what...10 years for him to get his just due.
Beep Beep
you also have to remeber social.media is still new, and back when a lot of this shit went down anime conventions were still sorta seen as odd and weird for people to go to so a lot of people ne invested in this
Beep Beep
most of us who dealt with vic were young kids mostly and volunteers for these.cons
Beep Beep
and young me didn't really say much despite how off he felt to me as a volunteer because I was a teen who got to go to the con free because I was a volunteer and didn't want to rock the boat
Beep Beep
since it was easy for volunteer staff to get shafted over by people runing the cons and inviting him to those
ꜰᴀᴅᴇᴛᴏʙʟᴀᴄᴋ
Also we still hate women. Also women in a group known for showing enthusiasm for a thing. So of course they're crazy. It's the most attention any of those social maladjusted nerds will get, who cares? /sarcasm
Beep Beep
yep
Beep Beep
and of course it eas young women so it's even more so because teenagers all "attention seeking brats"
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
The women hate is real when it comes down to some of this right wingers trumping for Vic
Doctor Ansem
>trumping
Doctor Ansem
y i k e s
Doctor Ansem
Yet so accurate
papermint tiger
from the respect of how it might set new rules on how social medias are treated... this could be interesting
papermint tiger
...there's a reason my facebook is private and i rarely say anything on there even if i don't have anyone from work added
papermint tiger
and i'm so glad i'm not some kind of public figure
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
I'm tempted to just delete FB all together but most of my RL friends and family use it
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
which pisses me off
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
I just try to stay off it
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
Doctor Ansem : gotta love that play at words lol
🌸Percsettia🌸
it is pretty crappy that it was filed while both monica and jamie are both at a con.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
which con?
🌸Percsettia🌸
but it also doesn't surprise me since Sakuracon is usually Vic's hunting grounds.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
ohhh....
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
...ew
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
He attacked people at Sakuracon?
🌸Percsettia🌸
I'm not sure- I meant that as in it is a con that he regularly attends.
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
ohhh
duck bastard
i mean, he's likely been a creep to someone at every con, if we're just looking at the sheer number of complaints
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
^ yeaaaah
ℝ𝕖𝕓𝕖𝕝 ℝ𝕠𝕔𝕜𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕣
he's been out of pocket for years
