A few days ago, I wrote an article on CBR outlining why the Vic civil suit was a huge mess.

Eight hours ago, Nick Rekieta, a lawyer involved in the suit, cried about my article on YouTube.

And starting now, I'm gonna drink his tears up.

Follow along here. It gon be good

Okay, he has the edgiest opening possible of a nerd just smiling. I feel like I stepped into a 90s kid's basement.
He's talking about his weekend. And how lose his show-plan is -- oh, it's a slut-shaming joke.

....wow he is just a grown-up 90s kid...
"The show will only be an hour."

*checks time tag. This went over two hours.*
"The big thing is the transcript of the Vic Trial. BUT LAW TWITTER JUST IS IGNORING ALL THE LUNACY!"

What? Like how terribly stated Ty Beard did?

To be fair, he's basically indicating that he has nothing to add on top of the successful threads about it.
"Don't listen to the biased LAW TWITTER threads about the LAW! Just read this thread on it. I'm not biased!"

So he claims that he wants to wait for some new bit of information coming out. He isn't saying what. He can't say what it is. But it's coming. Oh lawd, it comin'.
Rekieta is great at hyping up his procrastination.

"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but I'm waiting for a thing that's happening. You all have no idea what it is. I really wanna talk about it. But....SWORN TO SECRECY!"

...okay, my dude. Hype up your thing.
....did he reference the Double Rainbow meme in the year of our lord 2019?
8 minutes in, he gets to what he actually is talking about rather than not.

So the Meyer v. Waid controversy. In other words, Meyer is gonna lose like Vic. yawn.
Here is the problem. He takes....forever to get to his points. So apparently Meyer and EvS are on there. He confesses his love for them.

jk, just "brotherly" love, but this whole stream just seems...so boring...like, people watch this for fun? There are MINUTES of dead air...
"Cancel career is bad. So bad. Just the worst."

Apparently the chat is shocked Rekieta is on-time with his stream. This doesn't bode well.
He doesn't have a drink in his house that isn't water or liquor?

....do you have tea? Coffee? Soda? Juice? Anything?

...and military special isn't that good whiskey. I'm no fan -- EVEN HE DOESN'T LIKE IT? THEN WHY DID YOU BUY THIS?
AND THEY MENTION MY ARTICLE!

Apparently he didn't read it yet. I wonder how I take over his stream from afar. :3
Apparently someone paid money to get my article to his attention. I feel so special. :D

And it's funny that @greg_doucette is blocking people, apparently?
@greg_doucette I'm still in awe people read this for fun.

So he's opening up a Twitter account. LEt's see which one...
@greg_doucette ...crap now I'm trying to figure out how to untag people. I'm sorry Doucette. XD
@greg_doucette He is looking at some weird Amanda Winn Lee account after struggling with his streamer for seven minutes.
@greg_doucette "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MISBEHAVE ON TWITTER!"

...opens up Amanda Winn Lee's actual Twitter, unaffected.

"SEE WHAT HAPPENS?"

Lee is posting, fine as always.

"DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS LARRY WHEN YOU FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS?"
@greg_doucette I'm gonna start a new trail so I'm not tagging Doucette in a thousand posts by accident because I apparently can't Twitter today. Sorry about that.
Okay, opening up a new chain of tweets because the first trains were a lot of nothing, and because I don't want to tag the same people in CHAINS of nonsense. Sorry about that.

This is the CBR article bit I think -- nope, still talking about Rei Ayanami's voice actor.
Mocks MarzGurl some more, because of course.

He is going through Twitter threads that make fun of him. "He doesn't like it, but we need to talk about it."

He admits that Jamie Marchi is right -- did he just use "women" in quotes? Uh...huh....
What is going on with this transphobic edgelord stupidity? If you say you want to grind someone to dust, that's it. This whole women side-track is just added and doesn't mean anything.

It's...he's trying SO hard to be funny, but he just comes across as desperate.
It's been twenty-five minutes, and he's covered material that any sane person could have finished in five.

"Here's a tweet. Here's my response. I'm not covering this one transcript. Here' why."

He just goes on and on and on and on! Just get to the damn point.
He's talking about cancel culture and just....ignoring the quote he's responded --

Wait did he just say that people who are "cancelled" have to face the consequences of your actions? And....that's bad?

And I love how he says "Oh, all Vic did was hug someone."
It's sad how he's manipulating the situation -- is he saying Vic is kicked out of the world? He was fired from two places. And the rest is other people not wanting to work with him.

He has to paint up what he says in his own words...because the reality is so different.
He just said that Vic getting fired is the same as "slavery" 29 minutes in. This is....so idiotic.
"What does finally mean?"

Well, I don't know. What do you think it means?

And he misinterprets a basic quote. The tweet is about cancel culture in general, and Rekieta makes this about Vic entirely. Which isn't what she said.

I'm having doubts about his reading comprehension.
"Your looks aren't selling you!"

...she's a voice actor. Her voice sold her career.

And some casual fat-shaming. And look shaming.

....has Rekieta looked at a mirror lately? He's just ordinary looking. He's nothing special himself.
"I KNOW ABOUT THE CASTING COUCH! BECAUSE I KNOW!"

Ok, so you are providing unsubstantiated rumors --

Why is he still going on talking about voice actors being attractive after bashing one's looks? But at least he's insulting men, too.

...is he gonna say he thinks Vic is hot?
This livestream becomes super bisexual at 36 minutes in, and I think Rekieta realized that, since he dials back talking about men looking good.

"I TALKED TO MULTIPLE FUNIMATION EMPLOYEES!"

Citation needed. Get them on record. Prove it.

But you can't.
SEVERAL EMPLOYEES! ANONYMOUS! You know!

....then ten seconds of dead air, staring at the camera.

...he doesn't make any points. He's ranting about a tweet for ten minutes. He's...just...rambling.

No wonder people don't watch this guy...
Okay, well, he wished a guy in the chat good luck with his job hunt. That's nice enough.
Okay, I am skipping ahead to when my article gets brought up. This is boring as sin and I have a life.

I'm gonna get myself some tea, use the bathroom, then get right back.
Okay, 75 minutes in, they get to the article.

About damn time.
Starting a new chain for the second part of the stream where they FINALLY talk about the artice. Skipped to Part Two of the stream.

Link here:

....oh God it's 80 minutes.


Continuing here because it might be easier to read.
Getting tea.
Okay. Seate down. Got myself the tea.

It's pipping hot.
Why does part two start with that same dumb intro? You cut part one off mid-sentence?
"OH MY GOD I AM PISSED!"

I love it. I'm grinning ear to ear now. I've taken over his stream.

Time to drink up some tears!
Apparently he shut down his chat by accident -- he's running to the bathroom now? Oh wow. I feel like I can relate there. I had to take a bathroom watching this.
Skipping to post bathroom.
"It's a murderous rage!"

Hahahaahahaha! I love it. xD
I should have just kept the stream running while getting tea and using the bathroom. He's ranting about ISPs right now.

I mean, I don't disagree....but if you don't like internet problems, you should....not vote for the people who want to ax regulation on ISP practices.
Okay. 7:30. They finally start talking about the article.

...yet he said "CPR" as opposed to "CBR" one. Not sure if that's a clever joke or if he just can't speak words.
Okay, he is reading the first paragraph. Apparently my title is misleading because I didn't say he's "kissing people on the cheek."

He is denying that the "rumors" existed. That they were "largely" exaggerated.

Okay, Screech. :P
Despite KV starting up last year and rumors spreading far longer....he says the rumors started up in April.

AND HE IS SO UPSET I SAID THE LAWSUIT IS DEAD IN THE WATER! xD He's so upset. But even he argues that somehow Chupp sparing five counts from dismissal keeps the case alive
"Citation needed."

Oh. Oh babe. Prepare for ALL the citation.
He's criticizing the ad choices....which is ironic because the Google Ads are using --

And he mispronounces my name. xD I love how he argues that I can't be qualified to discuss the issue due to my masters in fine arts.

I love this. XD
So he admits that the rumors exist in 13:30 in. xD

But he argues that the defense wasn't strong. Suuuure.
So he blames the judge for the fact the court case failed? Hahahaha! Oh God, what a weak response so far.

He then gets angry that Mignogna not showing up has no out-come on the case.

And he's right. It wouldn't have changed anything. But it's still not really a show of faith.
"Funimation brought NO reps from Funimation! Unless....you count the Funimation actors who arrived!"

Well, the thing is....you still didn't deny that Vic didn't show up. He just got offended that I said it. Weak.
I don't particularly care why Ron didn't show up -- Oh, it's because the judge would've thought Ron was a cuck? Hahahaha...

So people not showing up is bad for the defense, but not for the plaintiff. Okay.
"You know I hate the defenents!"

NO! You? You hate them?

and btw I don't really hate Vic. I just don't want him near people he can hurt. I actually like him in a lot of his roles. But he's also a creepy jerk who pervs on women and kids.
I love how he argues that the third-person written article doesn't show the author's biases. That's not how the article is written. If it were a personal, first-person opinion case...buuut....it isn't. This is an essay with citations, not your screaming.
I love how he can't actually disprove anything I actually said. xD

"Many lawyers -- you cited one source!" Indeed I did. And that was one source more than I needed to show you, dingus.
"Did you mention this thing about how everyone files on the last day?"

No, I didn't. Couldn't find any proof of that.
"While the lawsuit is still ongoing -- you said it failed!"

So I did. I didn't stutter, Screech.
He still can't say my name right. xD

"You can't stop a lawsuit in TCPA. With your ill-thought argument he has no evidence..."

Oh, it seems I made him mad. Twenty-five minutes in and he's screaming. Oh, I pissed him off and I love this.

I need more tea.
"YOU CAN'T JUST STOP IT!"

Oh, I know --

"YOU CAN'T SPELL MY NAME RIGHT!!!"

I knew that would piss him off. XD I love this.
He's upset I never reference him...

Even though I literally quote Mignogna's statement.

And no, you're not a lawyer. You're a Youtuber with a law degree.
"I don't know if I claim that I'm an expert -- "

Okay. Then noting you have to say really means anything, does it?
He can't get through a sentence without raging. This is hilarious.

Every sentence I write, he screams and cries like a baby.
"Who's a Youtube celebrity? TUG? Flash? Me?"

It doesn't really matter. xD

Also, hi Terez! You're in this part! :P
IT's hard to keep up with how much salt is in this chat, because I feel like I've responded to in the article. It's like everything I said, I just....what can I say to this nonsense? No? Over and over again?

Like, he's just raging about every sentence I write, saying nothing.
Apparently I know that the accusations have no validity. That I know the majority of claims are fake.

Well, no. I'm not going to argue that something is a proven fact in a published article. You need to be fair about these sorts of things.
I love how Rekieta thinks I'm talking about some call made months ago when I cite a tweet made a day before the lawsuit. Or the day of the lawsuit. I think the fifth was before.
He talks about how Monica Rial "divided" the anime community, despite admitting he isn't a fan, knows nothing about hte community.

Rekieta, YOU came here. You're the outlier. But he's a small player ultimately. Kids buy games featuring Dragon Ball Z games with Rial's voice.
And yes. The the outtakes were played at cons. Yes they were.

I love how he doesn't click on any of my sources. The links are there, Rekieta. Scared to click on them? Scared to find my proof?
Ooof, that's a rough typo. In fairness, Rekieta is right here. There is a word missing there. That's one for Rekieta's side. The "that" is a problem. It shouldn't be there.
Either something got deleted or was added in. Oof. Not sure if that is my fault or editorials but it's in the final product and I'm not good with that.

That said, Rekieta seems pretty obsessed with that "that."

He's probably upset more people read my article than watched him.
Read Huber's statement already. Considering it's been proven fraudulent, I didn't waste my time with it.
Thanks for sticking up for me, Terez! :)

I love how he yells at anyone who thinks it's good. Because it's an embarrassment to his side of the argument. Because the best argument he can make is that there's a typo.
You know, I'm not sure a lawyer who never wins any cases can tell anyone about their career advice. :P

"AND NO, EVIDENCE AGAINST MY POINT IS FAKE! FAKE!"
Rekieta didn't know about Nadolny's arrest records? Clearly he didn't read his own information...huh.
Rekieta's tactic is "I bet you know why this happened didn't you???"

But the problem is it lacks evidence and has no citation. I come to you with citation, Rekieta. And yet you've clicked on none of the citations I've provided proving my points.

Because it scares you.
If Sabat's wife got reports of him sexually harassing a ton of women, Rekieta thinks the wife would hide it...?

Like....if my partner got reports that I was sleeping around, they'd go to the presses destroying my career. Because that shit would suck to hear.
His argument that Sabat's wife is covering up for him is...hugely problematic. Has a lot of holes in it.
HE's still going ON and ON about Sabat...like a weird person who lost focus of what he's even talking about. xD

Also, wait, I did reference Chuck's affidavit in Rial's tweet. So even one of the few valid comments he made doesn't hold up (that I didn't reference Hubert)
....I am waiting like five minutes for Rekieta to load Chuck's affidavit. An affidavit that was proven fraudulent awhile ago -- but even then, if you're gonna provide evidence in a live stream....please don't take ten minutes to provide it. Live.
So he continues reading the Hubert affidavit. It continues to go on and on with this. IT's telling that that the affidavit here is so misleading and provides no direct experience with anything.

The problem is a lot of the affidavit is "I heard things. Maybe true?"
"A guy I disliked probably helped me get fired. He's a big meanie and I hate him."

That's...such a dumb stance to take. It's funny when a man says something might've happened, Rekieta believes it. But when a person comes forward with trauma....nope! Nothing.
"Turns out her twitter was hacked. Was it, though?"

Yes. Yes it was.

You like to say "is it?" when you can't prove anything.
He goes onto this casting couch thing, which is problematic because he provides no real proof of this beyond a biased affidavit.

And the best thing is he argues "Oh, everyone knows it!" But he can't provide any proof beyond a rumor Hubert claims he heard but can't prove.
"Isn't this article exploiting an algorithm?"

Yup! Yeah it is.

So I can overshadow what you say and offer a counter to your nonsense.
And how he's arguing that Vic's legal statement is wrong? Oh damn. XD I love it. xD
"And then they cut it off. Ah! I wonder what they said."

I mean....I did offer a link to the full statement. :P But you wouldn't want to click that, surely. I guarantee you I'd load my statement faster than you could upload Hubert's statement.
He then argues that CBR isn't a good site to offer a report because....of other articles?

So you can't disprove what I said, can you? Deflect.
And we get to the final paragraph.

"Does this work? Being quiet and letting it blow over?"

Ask Louis CK
"Really? You think this?"

Yes.
"Isn't this the best part? That we all suffer?"

Not really. I think it's kinda pathetic.
I love how he starts laughing that I said he didn't benefit.

And he highlights my echoing my sub-heading in the closing sentence. He's too stupid to realize that's the point.

The financial benefits? None.
Rekieta, let's talk integrity here.

You spent three hours calling women you disagree with fat. You have NO integrity. Your case failed. My article, imperfect as it may be, got more reads than both of your seperate streams got combined and doubled.
In watching this, I see something very obvious here: Rekieta can't make an argument. It's disappointing. He focused on a sentence-by-sentence basis without ever addressing any actual point. He is too obsessed with harassing women to bother actually articulating ideas.
He's reading Super Chats right now. I think I can safely say this is done.

Closing thoughts? Rekieta isn't a very good speaker. I think he takes too long to get to his point, rambles too much....he needs to focus his argument.
"CBR is such fake news it killed your stream!"

Hahahaha...okay that's pretty funny.
These superchats are mostly boring, honestly. It's the same stuff over and over.
Okay, stream is done. That got boring toward the end.

Also, I apologize for the numerous typos here. I was typing fast. Some of these tweets have....LOTS of typos and repetition. O_o
