i dunno but it has just been a colossal shitshow from start to finish - and we still have a chance for more hilarity if they appeal to SCoTX or SCOTUS. Vic will lose at both of those places and will spend hundreds of dollars on printing costs just for the SCOTUS appeal, so there may be more laughs to come.


e: unless you're allowed to file in forma pauperis (ie you're broke), to file an appeal with the SCOTUS you have to literally send to the clerk forty printed and bound booklets of your petition. when i last looked the printers in dc that handled it charged like $400-500. you have to send the electronic version, too, along with one standard size unbound version. this is also why things filed with the scotus are in such an odd format - they're formatted specifically for the booklets that go to the court. they go through thousands of books a year of petitions for cert and other poo poo. here's all the details if you're curious: https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/supct/rule_33

if you're granted ifp, you can just electronically file your documents.

As funny as it is to dunk on this dipshit for being the failed test case for destroying the MeToo movement... he was simply ahead of his time. Better test cases can and did come along. An anime voice actor is an inherently obscure role, Vic had limited resources, and he lacked support across the industry. No, Vic Mignogna was merely a precursor. Alot of the people who supported him moved along to the flashier, more successful Depp vs Heard case, where they successfully smeared Heard across the court of public opinion with carefully calibrated leaks and gaming of tiktok algorithms. Depp was a far more powerful person with deep links across Hollywood, a beloved teen heartthrob, and star of multiple hollywood blockbusters. Even if he publicly destroyed his own career by being a lazy drunkard on the later Pirates movies. Meanwhile, Heard's career is basically dead after a few mediocre roles and a few lucky breaks, all because she caught the eye of a much older hollywood pervert.

Now, will this movement continue? The chuds are riding high, they've demonstrated their ability to sway social media, and flood the media with bullshit. Depp's good friend Marilyn Manson would like to continue on his quest to destroy his ex girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, but Manson is a washed up loser who has been irrelevant for far longer than Depp has. And Brad Pitt would also like to destroy Angelina Jolie, but both of them are powerful figures in their own right, and Jolie has been working the scenes to pre-emptively kill Pitt's.

I wasn't posting here when the Depp vs Heard trial was going down, but holy gently caress Twitter and Tiktok and Reddit were loving unusable during then.

i don't think vic was the "test case" for anything he's just an example of the alt right backing the wrong horse - pretty sure there's not actually anything new or unusual about the case from that perspective. this poo poo was already happening before vic started the suit.

i hope getting that stuff about depp vs heard off your chest was satisfying though. as cathartic as following the vic trial has been yeah, this scenario does not play out like this often

the ALAB podcast goes into this, and how completely Nick did it in the most dumbfuck backwards manner imaginable. the first rule of test case impact litigation is you have to find the world's most blameless, sympathetic actual victim ever. it's why Rosa Parks was a sweet lady, why the Loving v. Virginia couple was a non-threatening white man and black woman, and why the lead plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges was a "respectable-looking" old white guy. Nick hosed that all up when he picked a weird pervert with a decades-long history of being a loving creep to just so many people.


all the experienced pro-pervert forces were smart enough to latch on to the guy from the disney movies instead.

The Heard vs Depp case has nothing to do with the Vic debacle aside from some of the same culture warrior people latching on to it, which is hardly a unique occurrence. It also has nothing to do with anime.

agreed. it's an example of why you need a broadly-sympathetic figure when doing impact litigation! you don't need any specialized legal knowledge to realize that choosing vic to represent "men wronged by the excesses of the MeToo movement" would be a bad idea. nick did it anyway because he is uniquely stupid.

i think he's probably just average stupid, but stupid people don't often shoot this high and aren't expected to have basically any knowledge of the american legal system

i don't think there's any way this wasn't a massive success for nick outside of his culture war agenda not being pushed forward. dude got lots of money out of vic just so he could have daily drunken livestreams where he rants about whatever he feels like.

ty beard is probably unhireable now to anyone who thinks to google his name so that guy got hurt, in some conceivable fashion, maybe, but was nick actually doing anything before this?

not that you can tell, but he's supposed to be an attorney. it's why he called his podcast/stream the reddit-rear end name "Lawsplaning The Interwebs"

Ty will almost certainly go back to being the anonymous and barely-competent trust attorney he was prior to nick dragging him into the grift.

yeah it’s hilarious how fast they left Vic in the wind after he kept losing and stories about him being a creep kept coming out at deposition. Sure, Depp was probably even more violent and dangerous than Vic based on the factual stipulations alone, but who would want to cross good ol’ Captain Jack?

the ALAB theory is that Ty was a career trust/transactional attorney who oversaw disbursement of Nick's texas oil family money. instead of hiring a real plaintiff's litigator who would have represented Vic on commission, Nick talked Ty into signing onto the case in a fun bit of not-quite-self-dealing so they could bill against the GoFundMe griftbux.
