Uncivil is going to be going over it in a bit. He was a pretty harsh critic of Ty at the beginning of it and was drawn in by the KV fuckers, but in the end turned out he wasn't one of them, shit on lawtwitter and became friends with Nick instead.

Also peep that AI art lol.

Uncivil had probably the most accurate take. He thought the allegations were bullshit, but he thought Ty was going about it badly.

Guess what? He was right on the nose.

I'm simply here to ask. Weeb Wars is finally over guys, right?

The ride never ends.

Vic released a response vid but I didn't have the heart to watch it. did he concede and just move on? Power to him whatever the case, but its a dam shame about all this.

He didn't give any indication what further steps he would take. He thanked his fans basically, and said that even though he lost the defamation case it doesn't mean the allegations are true.

I don't know what steps he would take further. The case was lost the moment Ty couldn't get crucial evidence into the record

"There were mistakes made, and those mistakes were devastating."

And that's pretty much it.

Maybe the real weeb wars was the friends we made along the way.

Unironically, yeah. Kinda. Shit was still a lot of fun, even if Ty boned it.

People overly salty over this outcome shouldn't be. Nobody here did anything wrong, and had little to no control of the situation. Life goes on.

Uncivil had probably the most accurate take. He thought the allegations were bullshit, but he thought Ty was going about it badly.

Yep.

He even, at one point, said Rekieta's rejected amicus brief should have been filed as the actual appeal brief instead of Ty's. Though I'm still doubtful it would have changed anything given Ty's major screwups in the lower court. He was on Vic's side, but deeply critical of Ty.

Right battle. Really horrendous execution.

Like a lot of people in the thread are saying, Uncivil thinks the second amended petition with its attached affidavits were enough to defeat the TCPA, but then Tylophone Notary

I unironically like the folks over at weeb wars, despite them being weebs.

Sound borderline retarded to sue Nick over this. it is like saying, "Hey, you refered me to this window installer, and he blew up my house trying to get the windows in, so now I will sue you." How the hell is Nick supposed to predict that someone who had done a pretty good job on most his work, would bungle your stuff to such a degree that it is the sole reason you fail?

It would still be on Ty for taking a job he was not prepared to do. Ty alone is accountable, not the guy who thinks he could do the job.

Suing Nick would be retarded, but I know a violent remote wielding cuck who would probably do that. Remember, Nick recommended, but ultimately is was Vic who decided to use Ty. So the question should be things like "how many lawyers did he talk to?" and "Why did he choose Ty?"

You know it's bad when the only way out of the MeToo Mafia is to gayfabe, but it's not like he couldn't immediately identify as straight again once he gets the Presidential Pardon.

Being anything lgbtq only works if you're of the right politics.

The practice of waiting till the last minute to submit a filing is a well known tactic in the legal community, however under no circumstances should you wait till the last minute to compile the damn thing.
[SNIP]

I have not seen evidence that it was compiled in a hurry at the eleventh hour, but I am open to see it.

The impression I got was that Ty took a more active role when he saw the team he left to it were mucking it up so badly, but it was too little, too late and then lateness and notary issues made it worse.

 

[Markorian]

Look I'm not here to defend Ty, but people are acting like he was the only lawyer doing all this work for Vic. It was a team fuckup. Ty, as lead, gets to take that on the chin, and in particular, the notary fuckup and not preserving evidence and objections in court. But there were several lawyers, paralegals, etc. who all dropped the ball along the way. Ty, as owner/senior partner, is ultimately responsible, and at least he's owned up to it. But it's a bit of a jump to act like him going on Rackets streams contributed to losing the case.

Ty's cope from the beginning was his statement to Vic's mom, something about rebuilding Vic's reputation. After they lost the case (the first time), Ty said he felt they had rebuilt Vic's rep. On the whole? I still think Vic ended up ahead on the PR front. He's now doing dubbing again, directing, attending cons. Yeah, it's not the same caliber he was doing in 2018. Losing a civil case obviously doesn't help, and as Cocaine Branca is fond of saying, "Appeals are for losers."

Further on the PR side, outing the depositions was a mixed bag. It proved what kind of people Marchi, Rial, and Toye were, which was eye opening. But it also opened Vic up to some avenues of attack. (Ultimately, it's stupid the TCPA allows for this shit- IMHO if there's a free speech argument to hold up the case, it should be done immediately and no other evidence (like depo's) should be allowed. ) I still think Vic came out ahead for showing the public the depos.

But from another avenue, as others have commented on it, the Kamehacon re-invite probably turned out to be a double-edged sword. It proved Vic did have an avenue to going to cons, which probably didn't help the interference claim. But you don't want to have to threaten litigation to go to every major con.

Yeah, rag on Ty, it's fine. He fucked up. Chupp is a fuckup. But in this case, every lawyer was a fuckup, except for Marchi's.

I like lasagna man. It's shitty he went through all this, but it's clear he was a bit of a Pollyanna about his working and personal situations, up through his Funi dismissal (if not later). From the outside, it feels like he has grown in his personal/business dealings, and I hope that's the case and that AM Studios proves to be more than a passing fart. Star Trek Continues was inspired fan work, and it proves what Vic can do and what he can inspire people to do. I hope we get to see some more of that spark down the line, and that some fat cows and twinks didn't extinguish it.

As for people misinterpreting the outcome, shit there's a lot of that even going on here. It's a burden Vic will have to carry, assuming no further appeals prove successful. But on the balance, I think he still ended up ahead, even without a civil decision in his favor. If Vic can help lead a counterbalance to Sony/Crunchy, that will be a net good. And who knows if AM Studios would be a thing, were it not for Vic being a free agent. He'd probably be stuck in the Sony cogs at this point, considering a move back to LA (or wherever the fuck they dub at).

Edit: for clarity.

I will maintain to my dying breath that Chupp would have Chupp'd it up regardless, but Beard et all's fuck ups definitely made it far easier for him to Chupp it up.

In an ideal world, some retard is going to go after Vic's Job again, and he's going to sue again and Ty is going to do everything for FREE and on time and stay the fuck off Nick's show to make up for his colossal fuckup in Lieu of being sued for malpractice.

I never followed Ty's actions in the case, but from reading up from page 1040 I'm seeing Ty procrastinating and dicking around while Vic's life hangs in the balance, only to find out that Ty was not notarizing his materials properly and was routinely late? When I did that in school, I failed. Ty has failed as a lawyer. Even if you want to argue that Monica's feelings may have been hurt by touching hair, it's a massive step from that to blacklisting a person from an industry as a pedophile costing them millions annually - It's absurd a judge or appeals court can look at that and go "What damages?" This case should have been a slam dunk. Vic saved himself despite the accusations of sexual abuse. Were it not for a sudden public outcry and demands for proof, he would be dancing with Terry Davis on some train tracks right about now.

Is this Rekieta's fault? Nahh. I think he did his grift as is his right to do. If he wanted Ty on and Ty said yes instead of working that's on Ty not Nick. Nick's show definitely helped win over public opinion for Vic. Finally, these last couple of years has made me lose every respect I may have ever had for Texas courts.

The saddest part of the appeals not going through is that Ronversations is done forever.

 

[School of Fish]

I'm simply here to ask. Weeb Wars is finally over guys, right?

At this point, most of the anime community that got involved in the Vic Mingona drama have already move on to other things as other shitshows like localizers acting in bad faith and censorship happy dipshits have overshadowed much of the whole Vic Mignogna drama at this point.

These days, the anime community is has more focused on localizers that abuse their power to rewrite stories to fit their agendas, censorship happy shitheads that want to change Japanese entertainment to fit their skewed view of the world, the big and powerful monopolies like Sony that are gobbling up much of the anime industry in general, and even the anime community has learned to make fun of and laugh at the moral busybody speds on Twitter and on other social media platforms that make dumb hot takes regarding Japanese entertainment anyway.

We may have lost the battle but the war has not been won at this point, I'm not giving up.

So I will remain a solider until this war is won then.

 

[Captain Manning]

At least they aren't furries.

Some of us even laugh at vtubers.

I'm okay with being a "weebwarrior "as long as it ain't the absolute bottom of the barrel. Gotta have some standards.

I dunno. Ron is such a self-loathing insecure cuck he'll feel the need to gloat to Nick.

[Toast Sandwich]

Ty Beard isn't even competent enough to know when to speak or not speak during a livestream but then you guys thought he would be competent enough to manage a high profile court case.

I remember physically cringing whenever Rekieta would have to step in and attempt to tard wrangle him. Somehow as an established lawyer he was completely oblivious to every single social cue Nick would throw at the guy. If there's anything this forum should know, it's that you should readjust your expectations of people with crippling autism.

I’m almost expecting it.

"I will never let go of this battle that I lost and I was 100% obviously in the wrong for. Let me post a nigger song to cope and pretend I'm a some sort of warrior activist, and not just coomer-brained weeb incel who realistically only supports Vic for one of three reasons: either you are too autistic to read all of the obvious signs that his man is a sexual degenerate of some variety right off the bat, or you support Vic because you think that he should be able to get away with what he did because you don't actually care and you just want to try to own the SJW and the Wahmans. And, that's obviously as far as any of the people in this subforum have actually thought anything through other than memorizing talking points and legal jargon they learned to spout from Nick Rekeita.

I have not seen evidence that it was compiled in a hurry at the eleventh hour, but I am open to see it.

The impression I got was that Ty took a more active role when he saw the team he left to it were mucking it up so badly, but it was too little, too late and then lateness and notary issues made it worse.

This one is particularly pathetic. Not only does the Weeb's brain undergo intense psychosis in order to cope with reality when faced with Vic failing, some of the sadder ones also need to alter reality further to try and cope when faced with the fact that not only is Vic a Creeper but Ty Beard is a shitty lawyer who probably didn't actually give enough of a shit to do his job since he was basically handed a free check from Nick with you guys' money.

In an ideal world, some retard is going to go after Vic's Job again, and he's going to sue again and Ty is going to do everything for FREE and on time and stay the fuck off Nick's show to make up for his colossal fuckup in Lieu of being sued for malpractice.

Holy copesville cap'n, which dimension do you hail from friend? Vic has hand multitudes of accusations for years before any of the Funimation VAs came out with their shit. Funimations was 100% within their right to get rid of him, not only does this lend creedence to previous allegations but now it was happening to their own employees. They have a right to protect their employees and the funimation VAs have the right to post what they want on Social Media. Deal with it Vic cucks.
