Tangential, but here's what T. Greg Doucette's been doing in the meantime - fighting the University of North Carolina over a bogus payout for the Silent Sam confederate statue. This too turns out to be a wild ride.

Sanctions hearing transcript is up, linked in Doucette/Shane Holmberg's timeline. Can't post the link myself at the moment, unfortunately.

I know it's because all these fuckbags are "Rich, White Males" and whatnot, so they never had to face the music and junk, but how is someone trying to make a case this loving unprepared?

They were basically entirely planning to bully the defendants into an out of court settlement but they didn't account for the fact that Funimation, a big successful corporation owned by Sony, would see an idiot rattling sabers and say "Bring it on" and now it's in court and they thought they could wing it and they're in too deep at this point. They can't back out because it'd show weakness to their army and they can't win this case.

So with this mess of an appeal, is there much left before Vic is given the huge $$$ number of what this cost?

I s this the actual appeal, or just the transcript of last years sanction hearing. My guess is the latter

They can't back out because it'd show weakness to their army and they can't win this case. It's funny in hindsight. It's rumored they didn't want to go after Rooster Teeth (RT dropped Vic before Funi did) because they didn't want to get into it with Warner Brothers' legal department but tried to pretend that Funimation was still a cow-town anime licenser and not owned by Sony. Given the goalpost shifting too I'm surprised they didn't try to also sue Sabbat and Schemmel. Wait, no. They're not women, so that makes sense.

How widely known is Sony owning Funimation? It was news to me when the lawsuit started.

I would think it'd be pretty well known to someone contracted under them. The acquisition was announced in 2017.

I feel like that's the sort of thing you should know before you file a frivolous lawsuit against them.

Also yeah if you are worried about rattling the cages of big corpos, that's something you oughta look into. It's almost as if filing a lawsuit shouldn't be done lightly and requires a lot of preparation and certainty.

It was 2017 and then in late 2018 they did that whole thing where stuff that was available sub only on Crunchyroll got taken out, but then some of it came back last year so we dunno anymore?

If you're planning on suing a company you should probably do a google search on them first, and if you don't your lawyer probably should and make you aware of the results.

That's like going "hah, I'll sure The Muppets. They probably don't have any money" and then going Oh shi when you realize there's an army of bored lawyers sitting around waiting to shove your poo poo so far in you'll be spitting staples come dinner time.

There's some more interesting details that one of the law Twitter dudes has up: https://twitter.com/questauthority/status/1214396019598868480 Vic comes off as the most clueless goof ever, but it's probably the first time he's ever been made to account for himself in any way.

So Screech was having a bit of a drink and some Dark souls on his Twitch last night. Seems to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder that he's not best buds with a secret handshake with Vic. Also says "the reason Vic couldn't cut it as a cop is because he won't shoot black people." https://twitter.com/YouFoundKira/status/1218737087429648384?s=20 If like me you don't feel the need to sit thought an awful twitch stream, here's a thread of some 'highlights' https://twitter.com/YouFoundKira/status/1218741919049711621?s=20

It's unrelated to Mignogna but I do not fathom why people want to go watch a guy play Dark Souls and complain about minorities for hours and hours and hours.

Also if Nick and turn Vic's fans then the blowback on him when the appeals lose will be lessened, and the rube money will continue to flow.
