Can someone expand on the falling out between Preston, Vikki, and DA Talks? Weren't they buying his bullshit when he was claiming Ethan would be charged with a hate crime for publicizing the things he wanted to hide?
This happened in the Quartering's lawsuit as well against Matt Loter. The judge in that case told his attorney that "it's over $75,000 in damage. Source: trust me, bro" doesn't work for establishing jurisdiction, so they had to redo it to add a factual basis for the claim.The damages bit looked super sketchy to me, not surprised the judge is questioning it. They cite a $500,000 demand amount in the cover letter, yet then do absolutely nothing to justify it in the complaint. Heck, they don't even cite $500k anywhere in the complaint. I'd be amazed if their comics had anywhere near that amount in sales, let alone a demonstrable drop in sales of that degree.
Edit: I hope this ends up like that dumbass tattoo artist case though, where the end result is an official record documenting the plaintiff's misconduct and a Streisand effect that amplifies it.
@VIkkiVerse can explain it better, but Dean and Vikki have had no problems calling out all sides when they do stupid shit. Preston, because he's a bippity boppity bitch, can't take even light criticism, but that's not surprising given no one seems to be able to.Can someone expand on the falling out between Preston, Vikki, and DA Talks?

I've speculated on this before in the Comicsgate thread but will attempt to explain what we already publicly know.Can someone expand on the falling out between Preston, Vikki, and DA Talks?

During late 2020 Preston Poulter's "Comicsgate TM" faction imploded on itself with various individuals disassociating from Preston for various reasons. This event occurred many months after the cuck porn/pegging scandal that engulfed Preston months earlier and is not expected to be the root cause. When the dust settled several of Preston's former allies had abandoned him including DA Talks, VikkiVerse, Mecha McCheese, Zombienomicon, The SWC Brothers, Jon Del Arroz, The Comic Book Hut and several others. The Comic Book Hut publicly called out Preston, after the latter allegedly appeared intoxicated on one of the Hut's livestreams breaking a personal rule of the Hut's channel. Jon Del Arroz left Preston's sphere after Preston publicly scolded him for a perceived victimhood marketing mentality which led to a falling out between the two. It is currently unknown why many of the other individuals left Preston's sphere, but the mass abandonment of Poulter all occurred roughly around the same time of several short months.
As of writing this now; DA Talks and VikkiVerse left to do their own CG styled show, Jon Del Arroz rejoined Comicsgate with Nasser Rabadi, Mecha McCheese became a host of Mike S Miller's Drawn N Quartered Youtube show, Zombienomicon disappeared off the face of the earth, while the SWC Brothers and The Comic Book Hut are largely just doing their own thing.
Actually, it's for each plaintiff, which would put the necessary total at $150,000 ($75,000 for each plaintiff). A federal court can still exercise supplemental jurisdiction over defendants whose conduct does not amount to $75,000 in damages independently if the plaintiff can show $75,000 for at least one defendant and the additional claim for the other defendants arises from a common nucleus of operative fact. Plaintiffs here only need to allege at least one claim for each plaintiff rises to the amount in controversy requirement of $75,000 (i.e. the court has valid diversity jurisdiction for at least one of each plaintiff's claims).Also, they have to prove $75,000 for each defendant, not combine it to reach that number. That means Preston and John have to show a total of $225,000.
Plenty of people have said it already, but this is calculated to harass, dox, and maybe get them to spend some money. I don't think Preston and Lamont actually expect to win. I'm not even sure if they expect it to get to trial.The best bet result for @FROG et al. here would be that plaintiffs trip over their own shoelaces out the gate, fail to satisfactorily amend the complaint as directed, and the lawsuit gets dismissed due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The Fein Law Firm obviously isn't concentrating its effort on what amounts to basically nuisance litigation.
Frog's not gonna have to spend much to mount a rigorous defense. The Court is already on their asses trgarding bullshit. What they are suing over is protected speech. A number of comic related professionals and critics looked at their work and voiced the Opinion that it was pedophilliac. ( Which it rather blatantly is. ) This was a purely opinion statement made in a forum appropriate for such. There were no libelous or defamatory statements of fact. They did not claim the plaintiffs fucked children etc. I also remain at a loss regarding what ass they could each pull $75k in damages from? Nor how they could attribute such damages to defendants. Didn't Amazon and E-bay recently ban this type of art? Possibly othdr crowdfunding vendors? IHe basically claims to have "fuck you money." He very well might. I dunno. That claim I think hurts him more than helps him, because it makes him sound like he is just filing this to be an asshole. I mean, it's pretty evident to me he is.
@FROG definitely has the money to mount a very rigorous defense. He just bought a warehouse and Mercedes van for his comics company. Dunno about Dean and Vikki. I wish all of three of them the best of luck.
If anybody wants to get insight into the twisted mind of PP, and especially in regard to this lawsuit, watch this (skip to about the 2:20:00 mark if it's not queued properly). He talks about how litigious he is, and how the release of the cuck porn here on KF hurt him so.
Edit: Pedo porn shit (Lamont) and Vikki and Dean starts at about 2:27:00.
I mean.......They could call in expert testimony........Like maybe a person with 27 years experience in the comic industry.Whether or not your art is pedofiliac is not a question of fact for a court to decide. It is a matter of opinion for the observer to decide.
Somebody off the farms sent me a clip of Nick's reaction to the Lamont's "art," and asked me to memorialize it here on the Farms. Here you go. Local archive.

My reaction involved projectile vomiting (not filmed), and straight up saying on Dean & Vikki's show earlier this month that he should be put up against the wall and shot. But this is fine too.
EDIT: Three weeks earlier...
Nick ain't wrong here. It strikes me that the wall is the only reasonable answer. It's like nuking the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Yeah but if we let the court decude it as a quetion of fact we'd have an indisputable legal record that he is in fact a giant nonce.Whether or not your art is pedofiliac is not a question of fact for a court to decide. It is a matter of opinion for the observer to decide.
Brain damage and/or hiring a shyster.Whatever makes him think he will succeed?
