SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:Is this what the constant appeals are really about? There have been two attempts at an appeal in this case. They weren’t done to harass the defendants like the original complaint. They were done to try to make up for vic’s attorney completely and utterly loving up at the trial level. The first was dismissed as untimely if i remember right and the second is the appeal we’re in now. There is a cross appeal, though, because some of the defendants have challenged the trial judge’s fee reductions. They’re going to win that and Vic’s bill will be that much larger.

Dawgstar posted:It does feel like before all is said and done they're going to get everything Chupp didn't care about introduced into the case proper. Vic's side isn't going to win anything. They're 100% wrong and have been. Judge Chupp's only error in his ruling, imo, was reducing one defendant's fee award to match the others. The Texas appellate court will issue its ruling within the next few months. There are a few potential outcomes: 1. Vic wins his appeal, TCPA judgment against him gets tossed, case goes back to trial court to proceed on the merits. I can confidently say that this has zero percent chance of occurring. With competent representation, this would be slightly larger than zero because you cannot trust appellate courts even when caselaw is crystal clear. With Vic's current cavalcade of idiocy, this is not going to happen. 2. Chupp's decision is upheld in full. I think Chupp was wrong to reduce fees for one defendant, but he was right everywhere else. This has a decent chance of occurring. I don't know that I would exactly call it coinflip, because this is way outside my personal wheelhouse, but this does happen frequently in appeals. In Florida, the court issues a Per Curiam Affirmed (PCA) opinion. A PCA is an affirmation without opinion and is not appealable. I don't know what Texas appeals courts do, but I'm sure it is something similar. 3. Vic loses and cross-appeal wins. This is the other half of the coinflip. This is the legally correct outcome, which I would rate as most likely. However, legally correct doesn't mean that is how the court will rule. They could easily go with option 2.

From reading various Twitter threads I don’t think we’re expecting an appeal verdict until around February. The point of the various appeals is, of course, to wear the defence down.

Julias posted:Depends on the contracts. I think Funimation tends to screw over their VAs in that regard. Yeah, Funimation is in Texas so it's a right to work state which means you only get paid for the job as there's no union to make things better. Even the union gigs can get screwed over in that regard, which is not a defense of Funimation. Vic isn't seeing anything from FMA, etc, save for being what were once really high appearance fees for conventions and whatnot. I don't know if he did any big union roles where he'd get a check for something. Waffleman_ posted:He also has Truly the Muscle Man of voice actors.

Ray Chase was the Yellow Temperance dude in addition to Bucciarati, yes, but also of note are Phillip Reich, who voiced Yuya Fungami in Part 4 and Giorno in Part 5, and Jalen Cassell, who voiced Vanilla Ice and Okuyasu. They don't repeat voice actors very often but they will sometimes.

Yeah, he was a guest at our convention a few years ago and at the end of the weekend one of the ladies assigned to be his...handler (ugh out of context, and I ain't typing 'escort') reported that he was "a complete horn dog and so pervy." Hate to say those texts aren't a surprise, but maybe their total vulgarity kind of is.

To be completely clear, these women were not underage so I'm not trying to say Flynn is a pedorast or anything. But he's at very least using his clout to get his rocks off. Which is still pretty goddamn terrible.
