this is a pretty interesting bit of legal drama and community building being played out in youtube right now

it will be faster to read the article in the spoiler, it will be way cooler to watch the videos and actually see the people themselves explain whats going on

Hasn't this 'terrible precedent' been set many times before?

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

i couldnt recite the chronology, but people suing each other is definitely not a break from convention lol

what i appreciated was the response: the defranco guy in the first video openning a gofundme for h3h3's defense and then h3 saying "well now we're going to make this a public fund for anyone else who finds themself in our position"

i thought that was very cool

the people involved dont always get along with each other - in some cases they may not even like each other, but there is a shared sense of community and solidarity that transcends individual viewpoints: "principles before personalities" kind of thing

thats what i wanted to share
