What happens when you are named in such a frivolous lawsuit? Do you have to get a lawyer and defend yourself or can the Court reject based on standing without requiring you to get a lawyer?

by pointing you to the rules you have to follow. In this case you would have to either answer the complaint or file a motion to dismiss within 20 days.

I can't bear to hear the lies from right-wing media anymore, so I'll assume that the gullible are being told that AOC and Ilhan are now our dictators?

Sex addict sues Amazon-owned video platform Twitch for $25million because it has 'too many scantily clad gamers' that left him excited and he 'injured himself'

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8461643/Sex-addict-sues-video-platform-Twitch-25million-scantily-clad-gamers.html

Gamer and self-proclaimed sex addict Erik Estavillo is suing Twitch, claiming the video gaming platform has too many 'scantily clad' players
The players affecting Estavillo, all women, caused him to masturbate and hurt his penis, according to the suit which seeks $25 million in damages
Estavillo is following 786 of the female gamers and 'zero male streamers' and the list of women keeps on growing because of his addiction, according to the suit
A spokesperson for Twitch, a subsidiary or Amazon, dismissed the legal action as 'frivolous' and having 'absolutely no merit'
Estavillo has unsuccessfully sued other companies in the past, including Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony
The San Francisco man has been dubbed 'The PSN Plaintiff,' a name which he also used for his autobiography

Among the female gamers mentioned are women with names like Amouranth, Quqco, ST Peach, JadetheJaguar, Pink_Sparkles, Valeria7K, DanielaAzuage_, lilchipmunk, iaaras2, theRaychul, KrystiPryde, SonjaShio, Gavrilka, MizzyRose, KayPikeFashion, Alinty,, QTCinderella, Pokimane, Velvet_7, Loserfruit and SashaGrey.

His complaint also details how Estavillo came to hurt himself when he resorted to a Fleshlight- branded sex toy to masturbate while gazing at the females on Twitch.

Estavillo ended up 'chaffing his penis every day with the device,' the complaint reads.

The complaint adds that he suffered redness and mild infections since the Fleshlight is 'electrical and also vibrates' and applied an antibiotic ointment to avoid 'necrosis'.


He also complained of bloodshot eyes from staying up for hours staring at the female gamers and claims he once ejaculated on his personal computer's monitor, causing it to short circuit and spark a fire that left his apartment in a blackout.

I thought maybe this and even his other recent twitch ones were jokes, but after reading all the other lawsuits, I think the guy has some serious issues.

A neon dickhead is a dickhead who likes to see his name up in neon.

If his suit even makes it out of summary judgement, they should counter sue for slander.
