It would be nice if this tanked Rekieta's rep and sent him scurrying back to his hole.

Did Rekieta have any non-chud rep?

e: the biggest take away for me is that Vic should have been told he has a severe problem with regards to respecting the boundaries of his fans

How do you know he wasn't?

I checked, and Times v. Sullivan is :

quote:

The case originated in early 1960 when The New York Times published a full-page advertisement by supporters of Martin Luther King Jr., entitled "Heed Their Rising Voices", that criticized the police in Montgomery, Alabama, for their mistreatment of civil rights protesters.[5] The advertisement had a number of factual inaccuracies, such as the number of times King had been arrested during the protests, what song the protesters had sung, and whether or not students had been expelled for participating.[5] In response, Montgomery police commissioner L. B. Sullivan sued the Times in the local county court for defamation.[5] The judge ruled the advertisement's inaccuracies were defamatory per se, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of Sullivan with $500,000 in damages.[5] The Times appealed the verdict to the Supreme Court of Alabama, which affirmed it. It then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case and ordered certiorari.

In March 1964, the Court issued a unanimous 9�0 decision holding that the verdict violated the First Amendment. The decision defended free reporting of the civil rights campaigns in the southern United States. It is one of the key decisions supporting the freedom of the press. Before this decision, there were nearly $300 million in libel actions from the southern states outstanding against news organizations, as part of a focused effort by southern officials to use defamation lawsuits as a means of preventing critical coverage of civil rights issues in out-of-state publications.[6][7] The Supreme Court's decision, and its adoption of the actual malice standard, reduced the financial exposure from potential defamation claims, and thus frustrated the efforts of public officials to use these claims to suppress political criticism.[6][7]

Hey, no stop that! Don't you dare pin this on Nick!

But for real, like how did Beard decide to take a case in an area he has no expertise in (I think he's a real estate lawyer, which seems as far removed from difficulties as you can get from entertainment) would go swimmingly if he just... shat himself every step of the way?

I'd guess something about how Beard controls the trust fund for friend-of-Vic Nick Rekieta.

The first time I remember hearing stories about what a creep Vic was was probably like 2010-ish, in a Book Barn thread of all place. It was in a thread for some self-published trashfire fantasy novel called The Felsic Current that folks were having a good time laughing about because its author was also god-tier convention weirdo with a long history of getting really creepily handsy with underaged girls at anime conventions. And someone was like "Man, he sounds like a z-grade Vic Mignogna" and people were like "Wait, what did Vic do?"

Sorry, I thought that was fairly well-known knowledge.

I don't think I had even heard of a 'Red Bard' before.
