Some highlights include:

Defendant is not liable to Plaintiff because Plaintiffs own acts or omissions proximately caused or contributed to Plaintiffs injuries.

Defendant specifically denies that Plaintiffs purported request to Defendant complied with the requirements set forth in 73.055(d) the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Plaintiffs request failed to describe all of the allegedly false and defamatory statements by Defendant and state the time and place of their publication, if known. Instead, Plaintiff refers to unspecified tweets from other voice actors who appeared to be speaking on behalf of FUNimation, without identifying the substance of the tweets and the time and place of their publication. Plaintiff also alleges that the implication of FUNimations tweets is that [Plaintiff] engaged in sexual harassment or sexually threatening behavior, when the referenced FUNimation tweets do not use the word sexual or refer specifically to any threatening or harassing behavior by Plaintiff.

2. Defendant is not liable to Plaintiff because Defendants allegedly defamatory statements were substantially true.
3. Defendant is not liable to Plaintiff because Plaintiff (and/or his agents) consented to and/or published the allegedly defamatory statements by discussing them in public and on social media outlets.
4. Defendant is not liable to Plaintiff because of Plaintiffs previously diminished reputation.
5. Defendant is not liable to Plaintiff on the grounds that Defendant was induced and provoked to make the statements by the wrongful and malicious acts of Plaintiff.
