Moxie was represented in court by Public Advocate SayerQT who first argued that, due to precedent set in ''AllStarPro'', the Anti-Discrimination Act was to be enforced by a criminal prosecution and conviction, with damages being paid to the state, not to individual actors. The defense argued that Akeboun filing a civil trial for damages fell outside of the periphery of the ''AllStar'' ruling and thus requested a mistrial. The court rejected the request for a mistrial, and proceedings went on as planned.<br>

The court held in a unanimous 3-0 decision ruled in favor of Akeboun, with the majority opinion being written by Associate Justice Beamz30. The court held that while the Anti-Discrimination Act limited free speech, it is a necessary limit on free speech that had been upheld by precedent in rulings such as the aforementioned ''AllStar''. 50% of the fine to the state was granted to Akeboun for reparatory damages. Chief Justice WrestlingWithGod's concurring opinion detailed his wish for the House of Representatives to consider repealing the Anti-Discrimination due to its restrictions on freedom of speech and cluttering of the justice system, and for precedent to be set to deal with this on a Discord TOS basis rather than by law. The Anti-Discrimination Act was repealed less than a month after this ruling, leaving the precedent of Chief Justice wrestling's concurring opinion regarding Discord TOS's role in the moderation process of freedom remaining as court precedent.
