Except in this case Vic's team is nowhere near close to a win.Reminds me of what happened with Ken Penders vs. Archie, he won but it was a prryic victory since he ended up getting blacklisted by other comic publishers.

Looks like FUNimation just hired some new lawyers.
Their specialty? Anti-slapp!
Found one. Looks pretty nice.I couldn't find a photo of their lobby despite they having 3 locations. But they have their name on the side of a pretty tall building. I am guessing these dudes don't play
Look at them showing off with windows
Again, I was surprised that this lawsuit even happened because I was sure that no one would be stupid enough to put the burden on themselves to prove something that they had already pretty much admitted was true. After seeing the reactions from actual legal professionals, I can't help but be very relaxed at this point, because it turned out that that the only reason this happened was that there actually was someone that stupid.Except in this case Vic's team is nowhere near close to a win.
why isn't there a big "i don't actually know latin" sign on the back
It's still crazy to me that they actually thought they would be able to somehow intimidate a huge corporation into complying to their absurd demands, this case has been completely farcical from the beginning.Again, I was surprised that this lawsuit even happened because I was sure that no one would be stupid enough to put the burden on themselves to prove something that they had already pretty much admitted was true.

Especially considering that, as you said, he freaking admitted to his wrongdoings!
I mean, a key difference was Penders actually had a case.Reminds me of what happened with Ken Penders vs. Archie, he won but it was a prryic victory since he ended up getting blacklisted by other comic publishers.
Fuck! So cringey!Some absolute fucking GEMS
Judge didn't know Beard was a lawyer
He doesn't even fucking stand to address the judge
LMFAOSome absolute fucking GEMS

LMFAO
what a fucking clown
High schoolers learn that in mock trial clubs

And also, Your Honor, the bigger picture behind all of this is that this case is very, very unique, and it involved Anime actors. I mean, if you know what --
THE COURT: No, I mean, I read it, and I mean, I think know what that means. It's little cartoons of some sort, and they're Japanese usually, right?
I LOVE how he had to bring up he was senior partner at his firm, that judge doesn't give a single shit about the structure of your law firm you fucking moron. He wants to know who senior fucking counsel is and why he isn't speaking.
Seriously though, nobody knows what in the hell their end game is supposed to be, they keep talking about getting Vic's honor back or whatever but in small chance he wins this case what is even there for him?
Do they seriously think another company like Funimation is going to hire him, I can't honestly process how someone is that deluded.

If memory serves, they were asking for over a million US fucking dollars in punitive damages. I, for one, can't imagine what their endgame was.Seriously though, nobody knows what in the hell their endgame is supposed to be, they keep talking about getting Vic's honor back or whatever but in small chance he wins this case what is even there for him?

Basically. It's very easy to see what makes the most sense from the perspective of reasonable people, but the spanner in the works here is that we're trying to figure out the actions of people who have repeatedly demonstrated that they are not reasonable people, but in fact, complete shitfucking morons.I can't even tell at this point.
On one hand, them outright being grifters would make the most sense.
On the other, you see shit like those latest emails from Beard, and that comes across as someone who so strongly believes that they're coming across as cool that they don't care about being incredibly unprofessional. Which to me seems like a bad idea for someone who's trying to get away with grifting. And also, assuming grifting gives them some amount of intelligence and awareness of the situation that they sure have not exhibited.
maybe they're grifters who bought into their own bullshit due to the audience (which either way they are absolutely trying to manipulate in their favor, it's just a matter of how much), or maybe they're just incredibly bad at grifting; either explains Beard well enough
First off, everyone should check Doucette's twitter again just to appreciate his new banner.
Second, what's got me puzzled right now is why Vic's side is willingly showing off these things. The screenshots of this transcript are apparently from Nick Rikieta's show going by that tweet. And I got to see Casey Erick responding to Ty Beard's manbaby tantrum and threats with the equivalent of "well I don't think it's going to work so you might as well just get it over with" only because Ty Beard decided to slap that in as Exhibit C and D.
Everyone knows how this ends, seems people are just watching to see what route they are using to get there
Columbo often went up against folks that thought they were a lot smarter than they actually were and was tripped up by the simplest things.That's fair. If he's an idiot and his audience is coming to him for knowledge I guess it doesn't speak well for them either.
Coincidentally, this is also the formula used in every episode of Columbo.
Percy has already admitted in court he doesn't know what a confidentiality disposition is.
He and the Fearful Beard were trying to use it as a gag order where they controlled the info.
They also revealed that they know the second Vic's deposition is done they expect an Anti-slapp.
Greg-Senpai (name used ironically) has been predicting every step of this LOLsuit correctly.
And did Vic give his deposition today? Seems like a no.
Seriously the guy representing himself in the Jim Sterling v Digital Homicide suit was more compentant than the lawyers Vic has.
Reading the transcript has me laughing, it seems like Vic will lose this lawsuit and it will be the fault of his shitty lawyer team he hired.
Meanwhile Funimation is getting really good lawyers because they are part of Sony, I'm sure Sony is hooking up Funimation with the best lawyers.
Slightly tangential, but this is one of the minor things bugging me in all this. I also knew of Vic from FMA, and figured it was his most famous role. Now all of his supposed fans only ever talk about him being Broly, a role I wasn't even aware he had until all of this news broke.If you mentioned Vic to me anytime in the past like... what, 6? 7? more? years maybe, I'd probably have thought 1. "ah, that creep?" and 2. "ah, the guy who voiced Ed in FMA?", in that order.
they latched on to broly partially because it was his latest big role, and partially because they're a bunch of losers with inferiority complexes, so they worship characters like broly who are mindless power fantasies, I'll not that from what I saw most of them used the old version of Broly and sometimes Broly when he was in full on rage mode in the new movie, so I'd say that shows what kind of thinking goes through their mindsSlightly tangential, but this is one of the minor things bugging me in all this.

Oh, I know. I said it's just a pet peeve. Feel like shouting, "That's not even what he's known for, ya morons."they latched on to broly partially because it was his latest big role, and partially because they're a bunch of losers with inferiority complexes, so they worship characters like broly who are mindless power fantasies, I'll not that from what I saw most of them used the old version of Broly and sometimes Broly when he was in full on rage mode in the new movie, so I'd say that shows what kind of thinking goes through their minds
Can someone link me to the transcript ?, I don't want to give any of these chucklefucks clicks if I can avoid it
Yeah it's from the end of May.Didn't the transcript come out before?
And also, Vic is so screwed. LMAO
