Dawgstar posted:For the type of anime fan who inhabits the Farms, Funimation exists in this weird area of simultaneously being the most important and least important component of the anime industry. Some of them genuinely, honestly believed that Toei would be super angry over a dub actor being removed from the role. I even had randos fly onto my timeline and inform me that, um, yes the Japanese are VERY VERY CONCERNED INDEED about those outtakes that Nick released a while ago and the reasons cited were Studio Khara angry over the 3.33 dub (which were them getting a story wrong and had nothing to do with outtakes) and a Japanese voice actress apparently not getting the humor in the outtakes in When They Cry which was made by... not Funimation. So. Yes, Toei is notoriously picky about their English dubs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSe8D2wfGKI

Flytrap posted:Can't find the post, but I remember someone in one of the threads said something about to even GO to appeals you have to put up enough cash up front, and that amount is based on how much you're worth. Vic would apparently have to pay about a million bucks to even begin trying to appeal. You just pay your lawyer to keep working on your case. It's not a bond hearing or something.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:there was a small update yesterday, mediation should be wednesday Isn't the deadline that the judge gave October 4th? Unless everyone is expecting things to be a quick meeting of Go gently caress Yourself/No, You Go gently caress Yourself, I would think an actual mediation and creating of proper legal documents would take more time than that.

Skwirl posted:A successful mediation means no possiblity of appeals, right? That's the main reason I would agree to something less than a massive check if I was a defendant. Yeah, it's about the only real thing that would push the defendants to settle instead of telling Vic and the crew to gently caress off. The biggest hurdles are probably Vic being too big a poo poo to offer even a lawyer written and vetted apology, his lawyers being too stupid to realize they're on the short end of the stick here, and both of them being too idiotic to even manage to come to a reasonable agreement.

There aren't 4 votes on the Supreme Court to grant cert, so it's just increasing the penalties and cost for Vic and the crew.

I love the idea that every day Kirby would kill exactly four nazis. Some days he'd be done by Breakfast and some he'd be out until midnight, but he always got his four. Julias posted:It's basically just gamergate for the western comic book industry yeah, hating on things like Marvel and DC trying to appeal to minorities and any criticism of right wing politics/support of left wing politics.

Theoretically, there should be a situation where a fruitful discussion about the importance of carefully delineating between a pedo and an ephebo can be had. Unfortunately no one has ever been able to create conditions for such a discussion without someone involved being oddly interested in explaining how it's not that weird to find 14 year olds hot as poo poo.

Endorph posted:technically speaking 'ephebophile' includes 18 and 19 year olds so there is that distinction, but, somehow the people who are very insistent about that distinction arent the guys who are just into college girls. Honestly, I'm not sure that the creeps super excited about 18th birthdays are actually any better than the creeps arguing over how it's actually ephebophilia. It kind of even makes it creepier if you took the time to look up all the relevant legalities and loopholes on age of consent in order to justify why it's ok for you to lust after [child in question] in 3 months 5 days 12 hours and 32 minutes.

It is kind of unusual how Vic managed to try out so many different predator friendly fields and then fell into anime web-addicts as his Greek Chorus. I mean, if you looked at the history, he must have really hosed up his Fundamentalist Christianity via Liberty University trial run. You've got near infinite get out of jail free through the grace and power of god cards on that one. I remember that the pastor of my childhood church took decades to go too far, when he showed his dick to one of the old timers who wasn't having any of that "gay" stuff. I really found it funny that of all the stuff I found out he did in passing, it was the pulling his dick out to a guy that was the bridge too far. Jesus can forgive any sin other than making a 70+ year old guy look at a dick that isn't his own. At least after all the years Vic finally managed to step on the one true trap, and blasphemed Capitalism by trying suing a multinational.

Unlike a number of other MeToo cases, this scandal was directly connected to his inability to chill. His true greatest sin, in regards to employment, remains suing a big boy company.

We are talking about an industry where fridging women was an issue. An issue that had to be argued it existed despite the nominative fridging of a woman, and fans/creators still aren't 100% on board with being an issue.

Mr. Nice! posted:100% true. Criminal records in this state are public. You can go grab the mugshots of the day from any local newspaper, pull up the clerk website for the relevant county, and download all the case files (at this point usually just the Probable Cause Affidavit). To be fair, Florida is one of very few places in the world where it's possible to use alligators as a tool for crimes.

Also his blacklisting from the industry is almost entirely because he felt it was a good idea to sue Funimation in addition to the other people for defamation. An incredibly stupid move that made it impossible for him to weather a temporary storm of sex pestery and come back like most creeps do. I mean, who looks at their legal team of an Estate Lawyer and an online troll and thinks that it's time to take on Sony's corporate team?
