There's nothing worse than sore winners. Besides, they're mad as hell, because they know nothing was decided on the merits and everything fell apart on procedural fuck-ups.
Also, they're all fat.

The fact is right now he has something for it to hinge on. Before he had nothing. His sole path to getting any roles in the industry again was winning his lawsuit. Now he has one. It's a shaky one, to be sure, but it exists. If it goes well, that's excellent. If it doesn't, one opportunity will lead to more, so long as the hypothetical failure isn't caused directly by Vic himself.

I’ve never seen (before) someone more mad despite having won than the people who lost.
Regarding us sharing the link to the filing, what is their issue with that again?

Vic was supposed to kill himself after having his entire livelihood destroyed. They aren't gonna be satisfied until that happens. The "redemption" path was never fucking real and is only available to actual sexual predators like Daman Mills.

They have an exclusive patent on sharing links to filings and we're stinky doodoo heads who obviously copied them.

Even if they got that they'd still be miserable fucking lunatics.

To my recollection they did not "tell us that back in 2019."
What a majority of people on KF were arguing back then was that Vic would present all his evidence and clear the TCPA hurdle. The opposition, obviously, argued the opposite.
That never actually happened because Ty did a "telephone notary," and other oopsie doodles, so Vic did not get to present all his evidence. If anyone argues that they knew Ty would boomer shit from the getgo, they're full of shit. Nobody knew that, because few people knew much about Ty.
It would be like if I tried to claim I knew Rekieta would end up shilling a sex toy, attending a Jamaican swinger resort, turning into a total coomer, and doing one of the things Vic had done to him to another Youtuber. I predicted none of those things. I just figured out certain things he said, and certain things he did, were inconsistent with one another, and that something was "off" about the guy.
There really is such a thing as being a sore arrogant winner. It's all too easy to try and claim you had specific knowledge in hindsight, but them doing so here is dishonest.
Their argument has consistently been that Vic didn't have a case. What happened is that, thanks to Ty, Vic didn't present a good one. There's a difference.
They also wanted this whole thing to be referendum on whether Vic sexually assaulted a gorillion women. Nobody with a brain believes they actually got that in the end.

I doubt a single person who didn't already think that had their mind changed by this extremely expensive nothingburger.

The way I see it, Vic is more or less where he was in the immediate period before April 18th, 2019. When the case was filed. He's been largely cast out of the anime industry, and some people think he's the biggest sex pest ever, while others think he got railroaded. The court drama likely didn't move the needle much for either camp because it didn't even get that far procedurally. It didn't help him, but I don't think it really hurt him either.
The only major difference I see here now is that a lot more people in the pro-Vic camp are willing to call Ty out for being a fuckup. I have not seen a single pro-Vic person change their opinion of Vic though.

Well plus there's a judgment against him to the tune of six figures which may go up. Or Chupp may just be forced to give something resembling reasoning for his decision for a change. Texas has an unlimited homestead exemption though so good luck collecting more than pennies on the dollar.

I wanna see what the final butcher's bill is before I get all irritated over that. Hopefully the war chest can cover all or most of it. If there were any justice left in the world, Ty would claim but a pittance as payment. I contributed to the GFM, as I'm sure many here did, so I technically have a little skin in the game.
Having to pay the Defendant's legal bills sucks, but I honestly might be more perturbed at the thought of paying Ty now. After all, the legal representation on the other side was in many ways more competent than Ty's.

Honesty, it was mostly Johnson who was any good on the defendant's side. Lemwaaah is a weirdo, and the Funimation lawyers were soulless drones who just existed. It was Johnson who sniffed out the Tylphone Notary, which lead to Ty panicking and literally removing all his evidence. Sam Johnson, more than anyone else, won the case for the defense. If Ty had done his stupid notary bullshit, but no one had noticed it, we would 100% be at trial right now.
Vic's and Huber's affidavits were nice and all, but you have to be intellectually dishonest or an absolute tard to think that Slatosch's affidavit wasn't the silver bullet to MoRon's TCPA. And the only way for it not to have worked was if it was never submitted in the first place.

To be fair, the Tylerphone notary thing was a colossal fuck-up, but let's not forget that Chupp royally fucked Vic over by refusing to let Ty file that amended complaint, because Chupp felt like Ty was trying to exploit a loophole in the contract. Because fuck the black and white text of the contract, Texas operates on more of a "spirit of the text" thing, I guess.
And the appeals courts apparently decided that the case was a giant clusterfuck and wanted nothing to do with it.

I think most people viewed contributing to the GFM as just a fuck you to the people persecuting Vic. Even without Ty fucking up so bad, this thing was still a long shot and would have probably been doomed by Chupp just wanting a way out of it. The legal system fucking sucks most of the time.
Also anyone who has been paying attention to this kind of stuff for the past 10 years should have known the SJWs would just double down and circle the wagons no matter the result. They're bad losers, bad winners, bad everything. Look at how they dealt with losing an election in 2016 to see the template for that.

A part of me kinda hopes that Ty finds an excuse to cite to Mignogna v Funimation someday, as a little "written contracts don't matter in Texas, Judge Chupp said so, the appeals court affirmed, and Tex. Supreme Court said go fuck yourself".
That basically makes it established law, I think.

And Texas Supreme Court decided that they fucked up, but TXSC couldn’t be bothered to write up an opinion about it, so everything stays.

Not really.
When they label a decision with "Memorandum Opinion" that means it's specifically NOT intended to be published or cited in future cases. In fact, in most cases, citation of this case would be actively prohibited. This case was a bit of a cultural event, but it's not going to really change the legal landscape in Texas. The CoA saw to that in the way they wrote it.
Most cert denials are issued without comment. What we got from them was about what I expected.

Well that's retarded... "We're not going to tell you what the law is... we're just going to tell you that you lose."Not really.

That being said, Chupp's ruling could still be cited in future cases in Tarrant County, could it not?
edit: Wikipedia indicates that memorandum opinions typically have to be unanimous, but Tex. R. App. P. 47.4 specifically appears to say that a memorandum opinion can have dissenting (or concurring) opinions, as long as the author(s) of those opinions doesn't oppose designating the opinion as a memorandum opinion.

Not true. They have to label it "not designated for publication". After 2003, they removed this, and all Texas opinions are considered "precedential". See Rule 47.7 of Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
The way they denied to hear the case was the interesting part
