What did Nick do wrong (aside from the silliness with the amicus brief)? He acted as Vic's PR man for free and raised him 291K. What Nick did was a great example of how to run a PR campaign, and if it hurt Vic, then it's entirely his fault for not disavowing. Nick had no way of knowing that Ty would fuck up the case so badly when he recommended him to Vic, even though Vic probably should've started looking for another law firm given Ty's on-stream behavior (funny as it was).
Nick did far more for Vic than Ty did. Nick was basically the PR firm all the anti-Vic faggots said Vic should have hired instead of suing, and he did it for free. He built up hype for some of Vic's larger events, like Matsuri, and also led the narrative about the allegations being bullshit no matter what the ruling turned out to be.
Honestly, if Ron Toye and the rest of the dipshits get accused of a sex crime (like being charged for possession of child porn) I would still support them having the benefit of the doubt where they're innocent until proven guilty. Now as much as I want to see the Funimaiton people get owned and be held accountable, I still want them to have a fair shot to prove their innocence regardless because I still have my principles. So as much as I want to see the Funimation dipshits go down, they still deserve a fair shot to prove they are innocent if that day ever comes anyway.
Yes, Vic Mignogna is such a horrible person who is literally Hitler. He made a stupid jelly bean joke and that is the worst thing to ever happen in the history of the world since the invention of the slave trade and the dinosaurs going extinct by that big asteroid.
Well I stand corrected but my point still stands, Weeb Wars has now gone well beyond Vic at this point. This isn't just about Vic anymore since the anime community has now entered the culture wars just like with video games back when the whole #GamerGate drama happened a long time ago.
Defamation of Character is not protected speech under federal law for a reason and there's a reason why the feds won't do it. This only shows me that Leftoids don't care about the whole concept of presumption of innocence to begin with anyway.
So your comeback is 'trust me bro'...? Pathetic...
I hope the next stage has just as interesting a cast. The 2019-2020 daily madness was spergery and autismo par excellance. Otherwise I hope it gets taken behind a shed and shot. 2020-2022 was slowly metastasising ass cancer with few high points
I don't know what Nick did directlyto harm the case. He was never involved in the direct representation--though I would bet a farm that he was a part of the strategising. We cannot quantify how much effect he had on the outcome and decisions of Ty's team because we will never know what went on in the planning session. Nick likes to have plausible deniability that he had 'nothing to do with the legal case', but you are a simp for the schnozz if you believe that.
oh I know, just pointing out something that happened. See-back in 2019 during one of Nick's streams (around the time of the Funimation audio leaks I believe) Nick mentioned TFS paying Funimation to keep Toei off their backs. A few weeks after this was revealed (just enough time to make a teaser), they announced the shift to the shortZ format (a lot of people at the time suspected it was because of these claims) then months later after it had died down, they quietly cancelled DBZA entirely. OFFICIALLY, the reason was burnout and copyright issues with Toei, but I wouldn't be surprised if these claims were true (because of things like Chris Sabat being a narrator in one of their films, them being VAs in Xenoverse 2 etc).
It's extremely silly (and quite possibly stupid) that people keep treating Nick like he was Vic's lawyer. As you said, he did free PR, and made a GFM for the fans because the fans asked for it. Only the tards on kv and lawltwatter keep insisting he's Vic's lawyer. Nick recommended Ty and ultimately it was Vic who decided on using Ty. The only question I have and I said it somewhere else, why Ty? He's talked to other lawyers, and I don't believe the autism of lawltwitter that claims all the lawyers he spoke to said it was frivolous.
He spoke to two firms, one said he could not afford it. I do not rember what the second reason was, but it did not have to do with case merit either,
Because the first two law firms were busy and unable to deal with a case that public and complex (since a lot of different parties had to be sued) and Vic didn't want to wait the several months to get any results, although IIRC they did send Armzgurl a letter warning her to preserve evidence. My guess is that as this was happening, you have Nick, who's been advocating for Vic publically and has a fundraiser out, recommending Vic a lawyer in Texas he knows has done some big money work. Vic is desperate at this point for something better than the firm he has so talks with Ty and really likes what he sees and hears, especially since Ty is the sort of guy who despises the bullshit Vic was subjected to. So Vic hires Ty and Ty does his work.
@DRHaste23 tried to run the lie that the other law firms that Vic approached said his lawsuit was bad and refused to take. He offered no evidence of that.
First firm said it would be too expensive. Second firm wouldn't move fast enough.
Reminder that Vic attended Ty's daughter's wedding. Vic clearly likes Ty. Who knows what his opinion is now, though.
In most stories growing a beard is a sign of sorrow.
I only ever supported Vic because he seems like a decent guy who just happened to voice a certain alchemist which is just an added bonus, and that he faced a clear case of #MeToo where some whores try to prop themselves up by destroying a male colleague's life with their lies.
I'm not autistic enough to track who likes who on Twitter, so I'll trust you. These people are generally not likeable and the whole thing is a fairly secluded circlejerk, which isn't exactly news.
That was speculation from Nick, and I can see it happening. He theorized that Vic can sue Ty for malpractice (without necessary malice on Vic's part), and Ty uses his malpractice insurance to pay Vic. Vic can then use that money for paying off the TCPA judgment. Vic doesn't get his reputation back, but at least he's not half a million in debt to the defendants' lawyers.
Oh it's a circlejerk.
