When you show up to an empty parking lot, does your brain fall down an internal rabbit hole of past mistake examination, or is your brain simply incapable of such introspection? Do you spend the whole ride there and back not in the throws of despair but rather thinking that this is another good day?

I imagine you blame all of your enemies who did this to you. The people who took down the signs, the people saying bad things about you. It's all someone else doing this to you, after all. Ah, maybe with all these problems people just got confused where to meet.

That was my thought reading that. "That just could have been a cameo video message shared with a group chat and it would have saved so much time, energy, and humiliation." Not money though. Money would have still been wasted either way.

I kind of wish I was there to see Vic being continually updated on the situation. Going from "We can't get the con, but we've got an empty boardroom nearby' all the way down to being run out of a parking lot with people waving $40 from their cars at him to come autograph to finally headed to Chili's for a Triple Dipper and then to slink back home.

Honestly, this just sounds like it's another one of those absolute disaster convention stories that Vic loved to share back when it wasn't gauche to actually book him at conventions. All told, this is probably one of the less embarrassing things Vic has done in the name of chasing the vapors of others adulation.

I haven't updated myself on his situation for a while, but I can only imagine he's so desperate to get these things done as a matter of principal for his damaged ego if money isn't the main reason. "If there are fans who still want me, then I can't be wrong." :tinfoil:

I'd say pretty likely. Considering it lost so hard in appeals, the judge went "Yeah the original judgement was wrong. You're not paying them nearly enough money," and how much judges like not doing their jobs

My understanding is that the main viable issue is the ruling remanding the Rial/Toye fees back to trial court. The appeal touches on this but spends most of its time on less... constructive... arguments.

(IANAL and only recall fuzzily, but I think the judge who disagreed on this laid the roadmap for appeal: Trial Judge was wrong to slash the award to Rial/Toye but not the sort of wrong that the court can or should address through appeals)

He could have not been a creep, he could have not directed his online fanbase to create a massive social cost to speaking up, he could have not abused the courts to try and impose a financial cost for the same, he could have hired competent representation like he would have if he believed in the merits rather than a naked exercise in lawfare, and he could have stopped the legal fiasco at any of the dozens of points lawyers, internet randos, and literal judges told him he had nothing and was going to get reamed because of it.

It's really an object lesson in the amount of effort you need to put in to actually face consequences provided you are even mildly famous and have "nice house in the suburbs" money.

Yeah, Funimation knew he was a creeper for a literal decade and didn't give a poo poo. He'd have been fine after a year or two off to let the heat die down and instead he did... all of this.

It's the only remotely live issue, yeah. And yeah, the dissent shows exactly the path you should argue. You're slightly misremembering what the dissenting judge held. The dissenting judge held that determining fees is the job of the trial judge, and that there's no reason to think this is an abuse of discretion. "He heard all that evidence, based on that evidence, he made a call. Sounds right to me."

Also he'd run in Texas and win because Texas is a black hole of the worst godawful second only to Floridia without the benefit of slipping beneath the sea eventually like Florida will :v:
