In a very indirect sense, I do blame the political "disarray" in Thailand (these last few years have been… very… disarrayed). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_general_election,_2018
Looks like Thailand was a mistake in the end :/ Just got to hope Anna Scanlon fair's better at setting some minor precedent in the US like H3H3 did.

Well, Eisel could keep trying, and get whatever he needs from Australia, but I think it was a mistake in the beginning, since Durianrider isn't a citizen there. He's done anyway; his presence on youtube is falling apart as is the last of his cult following.
Anna is suing in a jurisdiction that has authority over Charles. She has a much better chance of a trial and favorable ruling.
