If this fiasco has proven anything it's how cowardly the Twitter keyboard warriors are. The second they realize their actions have very real consequences they begin backpedaling. Instead of taking the opportunity to go to court and get their accusations on official record, they're scared. Monica's backpedal is probably the worst out of all of them. "SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HURT but vic totally is a creepy rapist LET'S ALL BE KIND TO EACH OTHER!" It was so backhanded and wasn't even a proper apology for anything, more like a four page justification for her chimping out on Twitter and looking like an idiot.
Man just when I thought this drama went places, it just keeps going. Although with the GFM gaining steam, I'm kinda wondering if it does come to legal blows what are the chances of Funimation settling out of court? I can't imagine going to court over their employees being bozos on Twitter is on their list of things they want to do.
That's an interesting part, and something brought up a few places.
Texas (which is where Funimation is HQ'd) has laws on the books that declare that if you work for a company, and make an official statement in an official capacity, you are, by definition, speaking for that company. Think of how many times Samantha Inoue-Harte claimed to be involved with the investigation, or Marchi and Rial claimed the same. Funimation may very well be on the hook for this whole thing, and with many of Vic's acting gigs going to IRL friends of Rial, there's easy the possibility of further information getting dredged up.
Funimation's been in the weeb crosshairs for a while. God show that company mercy, because the weebs will show none.
