I’m not even one of the people getting sued and even I feel scared.

I’ll upload a video with two lawyers, one representing Vic, talking about the lawsuit case that’s happening.

If you skip to 2:01:00 in the video, one of the lawyers goes an a yelling rant against Monica Rials (VA for Bulma) fiancée soon to be husband Ron Toye, calling him an idiot, a moron and a B**ch. That he could be compelled to testify against his soon to be wife, forced under contempt of court to produce evidence against her if requested by subpoena, and if he chooses to ignore the subpoena he will go to jail.

These people ruined a 20+ career and his source of income in matter of weeks. Jamie Marchi, Ron Toye, MarzGurl, Monica Rial and all the others better have evidence and back up what they say, because it’s not going to pretty if they don’t. The other side didn’t believe it was coming but the lawsuit is real and it’s going to happen.

The sad thing about all this is Vic made an apology saying he was sorry for hugging because thats how he shows his affection for fans and he didn’t know it made people uncomfortable. Then he stood quiet hoping all of this will blow over. And instead of accepting his apology, these people continuously ran their mouth, and typing on social media destroying his career.

It seems the two lawyers don’t like what Meetoo and SJW’s have become and want this case to send a message, there are consequences for your actions and stuff you say online, you can’t just falsely accuse someone and get away with it.

Vic’s go fund me has reached its goal of $100,000 to pay for legal fees. He has a lot of support from people that want a fair trial for him, and all his fans are contributing gathering evidence, finding fake evidence that has been tampered with, and are sending it to his lawyer and helping out with this case. The case can last for less then a year or more then a year.

Can we get a TlDR? Did someone get fired for hugging fans?
Pretty much. Someone didn't like him and so they slandered him with a "#metoo"esque campaign. Except in this instance i don't think even the accusation actually accuse him of anything that would be illegal, yet he got sacked anyway. I'm hoping the people responsible get their asses handed to them in court.

Honestly, I really hope this sets a precedent for all the liars and cheats that ruin people's lives with false statements. All these wannabe activist and hyper sjws need to be shut tf down. People that use the phrase "Justice" when it is convenient for them, are terrible people. "Social Justice" is just another term for "My version of justice". Not to mention those that are the most vocal among the "feminist" movement who are just vengeful and sexist perpetrators.

So this relates to the case obviously, one of those on the Executive boards at one of many conventions has written an open, but anonymous, letter to us fans of anime. In it, this exec basically covers how not only the convention, but the anime industry, are basically being pushed to a political agenda especially by politically sided companies (e.g.: Funimation).

There's many cons that don't speak out because they don't want other cons to begin spreading lies, the ones that are speaking out against Vic do so because Funimation fills their pockets with cash, etc.

It also confirms Japan is not amused, namely Toei, with this whole business.

So look forwards to how things roll going forwards. And if you are a convention goer: follow the advice and speak with your pocket.

Jamie Marchi finally got her papers. She was literally hiding in her house and didn’t come out to avoid court, and the person that went to serve her papers said they saw someone peaking out the window. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. She’s dumb. I don’t think she has a lawyer. Because they would advise her not to avoid papers because that would work in Vic’s favor.

That seems to be the general consensus yes. Honestly if this dumb stuff was happening ANYWHERE BUT TEXAS, they'd probably have a chance of winning. After this I fully expect Funimation to move to anywhere else in the US with more lax and SJW-Extremist favoring laws.

...And subsequently lose all their rights to Toei IPs because Toei is tired of this stuff.

If they kept quiet then none of this would’ve happened. But they kept running their mouths on Twitter stacking evidence against themselves and their PR did nothing and now they are being sued for 1 million.

I’m not sure if they would’ve got away with this in other states since it’s defamation. Monica and Chris Sabat literally harassed a con owner for a couple of hours to not include Vic which is tortious interference with a contract.

You got a slight misunderstanding: They're being sued for a MINIMUM of $1m. The amount they'll actually be paying out will be far, faaaar worse.

Yikes. I haven’t been keeping up real close lately, and Nicks video streams are really long. Is Marz Girl getting sued? I know it’ll be trouble since she’s in another state, California I believe.
