"I wanted to thank all of you for your love and support. Yes, Vic's VA career will probably be ruined, to be honest I'm not too heartbroken about it. On this week's Off Topic the gang talks about Poopie Unicorns vs. Now him being an ass to con staff is more or less true. UnrealNetwork - I don't personally care for this guy but another Youtuber covering the news so when any of the others take a holiday he often ends up covering any news that pops up. Neither Rooster Teeth nor Mignogna have commented further on if mounting misconduct allegations on social media prompted this, but its Mignognas highest-profile firing since fans began making public allegations of misconduct last month. How, how are they going to win? I still stand by RT's choice of letting him go. Marzgurl - Originally part of channel awesome and a close friend of Jewwario who was found out to be sexual assaulting people after he committed suicide. More evidence pops up that images were edited to look bad, leaked PMs, and then anyone who supported #StandUpForVic getting their twitter banned. A misandrist claiming all men should die and women are better doesn't erase the fact that there are legitimate sociological and economic problems that predominantly affect women that need to be fixed, and this type of argument used is meant to demean the significance of the cause. This sounds like hentai >.<. He also gets tattooed on a pretty regular basis. (Even if the funds are going to salvation Army, that facthas its own numerous issues.). But we have two different recounts in a few of these accusations. You can look them up in the link if you want and I shouldn't need to say this but don't message these guys please: https://www.beardandharris.com/index.html. It just makes everyone look bad. Note: This is going to be a LOOOOONG updated post to get everything critical t, I'll at least give you some relief that many of the allegations used tactics in which in a public mass work in favor of people, but are complete garbage and useless in court. He pops up from time to time and since I used one of his videos I may as well include him on the list. Ron Toye began posting stuff to fight back against Nick which he pretty much said it was wrong or misinterpreted (which one of the things was a mistake most people make). With that in mind, this isn't a topic you can be active on. (If you don't know what that is, you're better off not asking). Fired from studios, able to still work in industry, Fired from studios, unable to work in industry, Nothing and keep his roles and con appearances. Vic was a big fixture in the Florida anime con scene in the early 2000s, and there were definitely some uncomfortable situations in hotel hot tubs back in the day. But i wanted to jump in this thread because I got a buddy in a group chat that's been sharing like..3 or 4 videos from YouTubers claiming that KickVic is losing movement and Balma's voice actress faking things. In the wake of sexual misconduct allegations against voice actor Vic Mignogna, production company Rooster Teeth announced it would replace him on their popular animated series, RWBY.. I guess you could say he's playing his cards a bit too carefully saying the right things butthis is the guy who randomly hugged fans without thinking about the consequences. He's gotten connections and seems to know more than he is even allowed to give out as it revolves around ANN. How does this workironically Vic puts it best: It often, but not always, starts with social media where someone says something which is either a perverted truth or a lie. Funimation's first investigation on the matter was inconclusive. this has gotten too far out of hand but I'm sticking to what I sead earlier. I do not believe Shane did these acts nor should we assume so. Stay tuned for more details. I know he's had confrontations with Yaoi fans, however. No, he made a video pretending to be Broly while acting like he dongos little girls except not dongos but a worse word. Don't engage an eventthat requires you to be in close proximity to minors /when you don't know what's appropriate or professionalbehavior/. Anyways, I don't think he's going to be brought to court by any of his victims, as there's a precedent of these kinds of claims being dismissed even when you call the police, like stalkingandabuse cases where the victim doesn't end up with life threatening injuries. He's doing them because the fans really want him to be there and to interact with him. He often brings on many #IStandWithVic members to discuss things both in and out of the Vic Lawsuit. If there was evidence, they should've brought it to the public 2 weeks ago instead of waving it in front of people's faces then saying they don't have to show it. I get it. He's often regarded as the head of the #IStandWithVic for having the best connections and most useful information. Basically, this isn't about driving a sexual predator or bad employee out of the industry but more like they hate the guy. I would not be surprised if members of it had alternate accounts to make the threats of Kameha Con look real and scare people. It happened so long ago there was now no proof he didn't do it so he lost. His most notable role in this is with Kameha Con which he had a number of discussions with the owner even receiving a letter from him to read out to his fans. Rooster Teeth @roosterteeth 9.13M subscribers Subscribe Watch Truck'd Up Now! . They gave insight on their stories of sexual assault and how to go about it. Best known for giving Hero Hei a strike on his YouTube channel. Comments from Chris Sabat and Funimation employees. If you really are giving in and not raising a suspicion in all of this, you should really recheck everything that happens in the story so far.. when I finish it/catch up. You don't think Bubba Fest or Kameha Con is not going to send those? The wording of this post made me think Vic was suing RT. Personally, I think it'd be more advantageous for him to be at this con for them as a single scene could wreck him if he's as bad as they make him out to be. RoosterTeeth recently posted a new job opening for a lawyer, while I don't think this has anything to do with the Vic situation, the timing of this is interesting. He was born August 27, 1962 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. As Polygon previously reported, the premiere of Dragon Ball Super: Broly coincided with anime fans sharing stories about purported inappropriate interactions with the voice actor at conventions over the years. I also find it very interesting Shane wanted another debate with Rekieta right around when the Kameha Con situation was going on. Which if these do you think should have happened to Vic? Shane Holmberg - A once con owner who was fired from A-kon (I think he still does one) who pretty much was a nobody until he got the beat down of a lifetime against Nick Rekieta on a livestream which fans of the show have made fun of and joked about him since. He did a number of questionable things but I'm not sure how much holds merit since we don't really have physical proof. This shows them no, it does not. ..Is this not a hentai? Amanda Win Lee - Another Funimation VA who is strongly against Vic and has say a lot of nasty things. This bad publicity is leverage to help the leaders behind this all drive someone they don't like out of the industry. Man that is some shit writing to the max. I cannot speak on the matter of RT as I don't know whether or not they will be involved. Now, aside from the case itself. There are also a number of videos on Youtube of him kissing underage girls without asking, easily located by searching "Vic Mignogna Kissed Me". Then there's the SWAT threats which is another story. So about the Todd Haberkorn actually I believe was someone who got their career wrecked before the Vic situation but there wasn't a big deal and kind of got swept under the rug. You can find a list of the cancelled cons here: https://animecons.com/guests/bio/517/vic-mignogna. I don't think he's the crafty kind of person to plan this all out in his favor using lies that look so much like truths. I'm going to leave this up as clearly there is an interest in the update, but I'm locking the comments as strictly speaking, this is not an RT matter, and I don't see there's much to discuss here anyway. Oh I miss the old days where I'd be was more aggressive and more into this stuff. 19. r/roosterteeth. He'll definitely change how he handles stuff after this. I know people say this is an SJW agenda, but I honestly think it's just the fact they hate the guy. I'm not going to say whether you're correct or not but give this video in the spoiler a watch, you may already be familiar with the concept but I don't lose anything linking it. The more common belief is that people behind the scenes who aren't in management are controlling the English Dub industry. Though I suppose that is a bit of an ignorant statement as I don't know what these defense attorneys who nobody can really afford to pay have to use to defend themselves. Toy Bounty Hunters - This Youtuber ran conventions for 6 years in which he gives perspectives on this situation from his own standpoint. RT did right by cutting ties. More likely to sue his lawyers given how they handled the case. Simple words whether they be false or true ruining guys would just come up more and more and train wreck more lives. Even if he asked, would still be creepy given their age, but I think it's important to not the lack of asking. I'm curious to how this all goes down, but oh well. Rooster Teeth - Would've been neutral if it weren't for certain VAs dragging them deeper into this mess. Chris Sabat and Monica Rial bombarded the guy with 3 hours worth of text and an unknown amount of emails with content we don't really know other than a threat of breaking a contract by not attending the con. Over the past few weeks with the release of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, accusations and stories have piled up mainly from convention goers about Mignogna's alleged antisemitic comments, general unease with LGBTQ+ elements in anime and fandom, and sexual misconduct with young, presumably starstruck con goers (hugging, kissing, groping, inviting them up to his hotel room). The one who posted most of those allegations as heshe said falsified evidence. Don't talk to the randoms though. I simple used it for the hypocrisy of Funimation with it. Vic Magnogna is a long time VA who has performed many famous roles with his two most recent notable ones being Broly from DBS and Qrow from Ruby. Sony will be fine. Is it because she never liked Vic and that third experience with him really left a bad taste in her mouth? Some of his more well known roles include Edward Elric in Full Metal Alchemist, Tamaki Suoh in . It's also naive to think that only a criminalconvictions would make it gosepl,as there are notable cases were people who had committed crimes are not convicted. I'll try to keep these events as brief as possible. Lawyer vs "Lawyer": Nick Rekieta is a lawyer that if you're an ass to him then he'll be an ass to you which he's done a number of times. Ty and Rekieta warned them numerous times. Some of the ComicsGate people covered news on it but it didn't take off. Amid a three-year legal battle, Mignogna has slowly returned to the industry. This just became a bigger and bigger topic and everybody wanted a slice of that sweet, sweet controversy pie. Michael Quinn, vice president of Rooster Teeth 's product and engineering, was arrested this week on November 18 under allegations of domestic violence against his wife. Listen to how the wiki describes the accusers personality, Wow and many people on my countrie's "nerd" Discord were praising it.FFS. They have been covering all of this information even at the rapid pace it's been coming out but even they can't always keep up with all this news. Additional Notes: They are on a mission to put a stop to Social Jackwagons. The twitter thread you describe here isn't the same one you posted, right? First off, I was saying Vic cheating on his wife would be a ridiculous way to go, not the reason he was fired from Funimation. Shane's Chair - We must liberate her from her abusive owner. Somehow it's tied to blaming Vic. I do not think that is happening. Pensacon for example while what they did was probably illegal isn't much to work with as those threats were more at fans than Vic himself and not very relevant to the case.
