Blackface Laywer will get consequences for this hopefully, right?
What stuff did Vic say to dig his hole deeper?I'm almost done watching Vic's deposition. Yeah Nick totally streamed this so he can tell his viewers how to think before they can formulate their own opinions. Whenever Vic looks bad Nick just changes the topic like making fun of the lawyer's voice for the billionth time or reads viewers' comments out loud. To anyone else watching or reading, Vic is just digging his own grave.
No, sir, because of everything. All of it. It's a cumulative thing. Didn't you use -- like the term you used, death by a thousand cuts, you know.
That's been his job since before Vic, it's just that the last outrage he was on didn't gain much traction.The likelihood is that he'll be the only clear winner once all the stupidity is over.
Vic is 99% going to lose his case, Beard embarrasses himself and given his lack of knowledge, may accidentally breach a code of conduct somewhere along the way. The general opinion among the US based lawyers is that Blackface's state doesn't really have any professional codes of conduct that he's in breach of. In some ways, it wouldn't matter even if he did get disbarred. He might be a terrible lawyer, but he's clearly skilled as an outrage merchant, which will likely be his real job going forward

He does those too, though I imagine those videos are full of errors.Ahh alright. I've never watched his stuff and wasn't sure if he actually ran a law explainer at any point or was always on the outrage train
First of all he conceded he was a public figure which means you have to prove actual malice. Actual malice is a very difficult thing to prove because you need clear and convincing evidence about what the defendant was thinking not what a reasonable person believes.
The second thing is he conceded that the defendants were just a small part of a larger backlash:
That's pretty much any competent defamation lawyer watching his client's case go right out the fucking window. When you're pointing fingers you don't say it's a result of all these little things. You're alleging that the defendant's specific knowingly reckless and malicious conduct is the cause of the situation. This basically contradicts that entire argument.
And adding to the second point, he also constantly admitted he has no idea whether the defendants actually had anything to do with conventions canceling him and such. Really doubling down on "it is completely arbitrary that I sued them over this".
Regarding the first point, it's particularly amusing to see because his lawyers are currently very much trying to move away from him being seen as a public figure. There's no way he can get away with claiming that to begin with, of course. But this deposition now includes, for example, him talking about how conventions work and how he's special enough to get re-invited several years in a row at times even when that's not the norm. It was probably the one thing Beard actually prepped him for, and he still failed to handle it well!
You would *almost* feel bad for Vic.
Honestly at this point he can sue his own lawyers. That'd be funny.

Except it was done by one man who wasn't even a lawyer AND he was still more competent than Beard.I'm getting flash backs to Jim sterling court room case expect that was done by one man.
Apparently Screech leaked Monica' Depo last night.....and said this during the part where she was talking about her encounter with Vic in the hotel room..........

What? I meant, not like literally, just like he's a crappy guy. Or are you making a joke?That's a disgusting thought in more than just one way.
But if you do it, put some GHB into his drink first and then gag him while he's unconcious. You know. If he doesn't fight back it's apparently consent.
This being said. You gotta wonder how he treats his wife, considering his drunken ramblings and views on certain issues.
They are making a terribly unfunny joke, yes.What? I meant, not like literally, just like he's a crappy guy. Or are you making a joke?

"Last summer, Mignogna went into a studio and told a small group of people that silence gives consent. It may have been in response to a query about his performance, but voice director Donald Shults told io9 that it eventually became something else. When others in the room tried to push back, including Shults saying that the phrase doesn't reflect today's values, Mignogna didn't drop the subject. He clarified.
"If I'm a jerk and you don't tell me so, then you're consenting to me being a jerk. See how that works?" he said. "If somebody is doing something you don't approve of and you don't say anything...the implication is that you must be okay with it."
It makes you wonder if Rekieta and Mignogna first became friends over their shared misogyny.Remember this bone-chilling piece of awfulness from the Gizmodo write-up? Same exact rhetoric.
I have no doubt that is the case. The tired ''innocent man being attacked by them evil females'' narrative is what attracted that grifter to Vic in the first place.It makes you wonder if Rekieta and Mignogna first became friends over their shared misogyny.
Thank you mods for putting in spoilers, in my anger I regrettably forgot to do so. I'm still angry at that fucker, I can't fucking believe it. Just completely fucking loathsome, horrendous behavior.
Vic admitting to the hair pulling incident. It's amazing how much he's sinking his own case.
Thanks for sharing -- I saw this come up on Twitter, but hadn't seen any video.
Love his screenshot of the chat comments recognizing how screwed Vic is.
There's something about his delivery that reminds me of when my relative brought up Vic and didn't think I'd have taken the other side. Maybe it's just a nerd thing, but I don't think that's it. Like, the delivery feels a little dragged out and stilted, like once the thoughts are hitting his brain it leads him to have doubts about whether he's in the right here, but then he decides that if he's going to be the bad guy he's going to be so shamelessly.

"See, Vic admitting to the accusations and sinking his case is the kind of 4th dimensional chess you dumbass SJW libcuck snowflakes are too stupid to understand! 😤😤😤"
This is gonna go on for another month right? At least?
Fucking hell.
It seems really fucked up to release depositions of people publicly, but when has Comicsgate ever given a shit about morals?
