Rooster Teeth have fired him

I think calling kids on the phone when you're 45 is a bit outside the realm of common sense. He should've drawn the line there.

I always knew there was something off about him.

My thoughts are with the victims.

Updates came up that the girl talking about some mystery guy raping her and trying to somehow involve Vic were lies. He was basically a guy she kept wanting to sleep with and he kept turning her down. The mystery dude spoke out on FB and posted screencaps showing that even after the alleged rape, she still kept coming after him for more. Doesn't sound like rape to me. Todd Heberkon was the mystery man and he realized the post was about him.

There's a youtube video by the Lazy Gamer called Update on what's going on with Vic Mignona which includes facebook screencaps which anyone can check Todd's Facebook to be sure.

I knew it. Vic might have been hugs and kisses, but rape? Never.

Idk, people gotta learn to be more vocal or let **** slip. If you're a girl and in line and see other girls happily hug him and whatnot but you don't want that, just tell him 'can I get a pic with you just... um.. no hugs and kisses ok?'. He's cool about that. He might have jumped the gun before but I'm sure had they said something he wouldn't have hugged that person.

IDK it's hard to say, but I personally never met a female FMA fan that didn't want to hug and kiss the guy.

What baffles me is that, in nearly EVERY SINGLE one of these assault allegations, there were others (mainly peers) who had the exact same, or even more, power than the alleged perpetrator. And yet, they chose to not do or say anything. They just want the money to keep rolling in.

Some used the perpetrator for their own gain. Some even assisted or encouraged the perpetrator to keep doing harm.

They're cowardly enablers.

Honestly, I don't believe anything from these people. Everything is mostly 'I heard this' or 'I heard that', no actual allegations from first hand victims. All of them were hugs and a kiss to the cheek which is nothing. Some are starting to get swept up in the ******** and starting to say 'well looking back now....' which I say NO. You don't get to be a fangirl one day and turn around and change your mind years later.

There hasn't been a single legit allegation.

Anime News Network showed a pic of a FAN that liked the hug and kiss and painted her a victim. The girl spoke up and said that wasn't true and she and her family loved Vic.

Facebook groups have been revealed of people wanting to photoshop pics to further incriminate him.

Monica randomly blurted out 'it happened to me' without saying what 'it' is and without saying in exact words that Vic did anything. She basically stood back and let her rabid fans rage for her.

One girl said a mystery guy raped her and threw in Vic's name. The guy spoke out and posted all their conversations proving she was the one harassing him constantly, but also plotting to ruin both him and Vic.

Marzgurl is trying to get videos defending him flagged. Both her and Monica are basically putting fingers in their ears and saying 'la la la' as everyone shoves proof in their faces.

Almost everything about this has been debunked.

My heart goes out to the victim.

Granted, in his personal life, Vic seems to be a bit of jerk and an asshole and a diva, and difficult to work with, and sometimes even rude to con staff. Ok, he's an asshole. It does not justify ruining his life permanently with false sexual accusations.

Those guys that wanted to photoshop pictures of him... one of them thought that was too far and the justification used was 'because he was rude a con security guard'.

He's no saint, but the punishment does not fit the crime.

Funimation have dropped him

I love how whenever someone is accused about something, whether its justified or not, there are some people who pretend to be extremely progressive by claiming "I always knew there is something wrong about him!!".

C'mon, make you progressive cookies by some other means.
This "clairvoyance" is just smells of desperation and attention seeking.
:roll:

and this is the problem with the current metoo movement.

yes, it DID help bring down some people who deserved to be brought down..but we've also seen the evil it cna do in the fake femenist movement too, where people will blindly believe and react accordingly. I may be no fan of Chris Hardwick and his 'empire', but fake accusations isn't a way to bring him down.

maybe Funi is using this as an excuse to get rid of him if he was such a jerk to work with.

That's what happens when the system doesn't work to protect people. The people circumvent the system. It's not always a good thing, either.

We're supposed to have law enforcement and courts to handle this. But since there's not a whole lot of recourse with either of those, we get the #metoo movement instead. And like any public movement, the court of public opinion comes into play and we get these fast and harsh judgments without any due process.

It's important that we listen to people when they have complaints and give them serious consideration. Or else we get this again.

#metoo and #believevictims are a deadly combination because any woman can come out and make up a story and the media demands you blindly believe her.

Oh, in a totally unrelated matter and startling coincidence, Monica Rial has been appointed to Vic's position in Funimation and Rooster Teeth.

She's also threatening to screencap any tweet questioning her and sending it to her lawyers and law enforcement.

This is a woman that was buddy buddy with the guy a month ago.

the new Bulma?

hmm.....could we be dealing with a hostile takeover/power grab? Why would anyone question her, and what about?

I see being around Vegeta's really rubbed off on Bulma

It's important to act from position of actual information and not "someones said this, we'd better fire the guy before we have any exact proves".

Wow.
What a "coincidence".

Vic's official statement

https://twitter.com/vicmignogna/stat...cts%3Fpage%3D2

people seem to be more hating on monica rail than vic.

I'll confess, I never understood why they replaced the original bulma after all those years with rail. who is subpar at best.

The original Bulma VA retired from voice acting, as far as I remember.

watching a few videos on this monica situation.

seems like possible false allegations for a power grab. they have stuff against her and another female employee too. looks like she also slept with the funimation boss. no wonder tiffany volmer was replaced for no reason.

Guys, the Vic were rumors going on ... for years (,if not decades).

At least some of the allegations are legit ...

They're trying to quickly fire him and sweep it under the rug ASAP. As if they thought his fans would take this ******** lying down.

At least one con is threatening to arrest anyone that mentions Vic and now Reddit will delete anything trying to prove the allegations to be false.

It's also been revealed that Marzgurl decided to kick Vic and started the whole hashtag against him. What a coincidence that her dying channel has suddenly sprung to life with tons of views.

if there IS such die hard proof, WHY are all these sites going to such lengths to show otherwise by silencing people who will stick up for him?

Imagine if that happened in the Hardwick case?

Maybe this is the lefts solution to getting rid of people they don't like when there seems to be little hard evidence (from what I'm reading) to convict him instantly...

-edit reading some of the redit posts. apparently one of the other ladies, a jamie something made death threats to people? how is that not fireable?

What proof do you want?

Do you have ANY proof of that?

Arrest? Oh my...
I wonder what they gonna do to you if you mention Hitler?
Shot you on the spot in true liberal progressive fashion. :roll:

Records, witness testimonies.
Like what usually people need to condemn someone for the crimes.

Otherwise, "guilty until proven innocent" formula looks like a very good way to get rid of people who "ideologically not on your side" or just get rid of someone who you might not like.
Not to mention "guilty until proven innocent" is not very liberal idea. But basically a totalitarian one, which kind of fits what modern lefties has become.

Do you have ANY proof of that?[/QUOTE]

Other than the tweet where she said so herself, what else do you need? Point is, there is no proof on Vic, and he is taking all of this as gracious as he possibly can and even asking his fans to not resort to violence. Meanwhile his accusers are practically demonizing themselves every time they open their mouths while forgetting that literally anyone can screen shot every tweet they put it and fire it right back at them.

Sean came out and told everyone to leave Monica alone and pretty much called all of his fans assholes. Like the actual word assholes. He lashed out at fans that weren't stupid enough to just believe everything they hear and dared to question something that sounded fishy.

I mean come on. I know there was some divided opinion when the Cosby thing came up, but people weren't rushing out to silence anyone that defended him. People weren't threatened to be arrested for asking questions. And unlike this case, the Cosby case had actual proof and actual first hand accounts, not this third of fourth hand hearsay. And it was actual date rape, not a kiss on the cheek that apparently is now pornographic in 2019 snowflake culture. Not only that.... THEY ACTUALLY TOLD US WHAT COSBY WAS ACCUSED OF. They didn't just show us a bunch of pictures of him hugging his fans while saying he's accused without giving details.


Bottom line, people need to learn to deal with being uncomfortable and not make a big deal about the smallest thing unless it's actual sexual assault. Unless Vic was actually grabbin some ass, just drop this nonsense. And you can't look back to a simpler time and apply your jaded 2019 mindset to it and alter your own facts. If you were ok with hugging and kissing a celeb that you waited HOURS to see, while noticing other fans in front of you also getting hugged and kissed and you were fine with it in 2012, don't turn around years later with your 2019 SJW mindset and start saying 'well maybe it did feel creepy'. No. That's ********.

We're headed for a Demolition Man type future, I swear. I mean, hey, I always feel uncomfortable when I go to the dentist, am I supposed to sue him too?

yeah, loosing respect for most of the funimation cast....sigh.

Should just avoid the net until super is over.

I had a tooth out last Thursday. It's my body. My choice:P

this all comes out after the cash cow of the Broly Movie (who Vic voiced) came out? Not before?

I don't know a thing about the alleged details that directly concerning particular persons, but all the social media fallout among the Funimation voice actors is enough to make me want to watch the episodes with the Japanese audio track.

yeah. especially sean saying fans suck. ugh.


Reading some more into this with a link sent to me, it's coming across as a few things

-metoo movement hindsight. Voice actors hug and kiss people of all ages for photos. no one has a problem with them.

-Apparently this guy has little roles, but is somehow a powerhouse in the anime industry? this doesn't make too much sense. but it would explain why funimation kept on hiring him with the rumors if they couldn't refuse him.

-fan girls are a little on the extreme side sometimes. alot of this comes off as bandwagoning. but there does seem to be alot of stories in the comment section, so it's tough to figure out what to believe.

all i know is, no one really comes off looking good in this situation. and the funimation voice actors are not helping their case by continuing to poke fun at him, rather than taking the situation seriously.

So now that Vic is lawyering up, people are either backing off, trying to act nice and talk it out, or trying to get fans to call a truce.

Sorry guys. Your day in court is coming.

I hope those accusers will either come up with REAL evidence or just break their teeth on this one, alongside with Internet SJW mobs.

if he really is innocent, and guilty of another metoo mob, I hope they get what they deserve.

Maybe we can get tifany volmer back. heh.

-edit reading some of the updates on reddit. apparently one of the 'damning articles' was written by a friend who started the whole thing in the first place. and on a site that is usually anti male to begin with. might want to go after a few websites too .

I doubt there was ever any real evidence, which is why they were so desperate to silence and censor everybody questioning this.

Why would a guilty man want to sue? Why would the innocent be afraid of the law? What secrets are the Funimation crew hiding that they want to protect at all costs?

Can someone explain the fake doxxing stuff? Someone was faking being doxed or something? I keep reading conflicting stuff when it comes to that particular part of this trash fire.

Haha, now that sounds like the American way!

Because Kameha Con is allowing Vic Mignogna as a guest, several voice actors scheduled to attend are pulling out

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/int...O0x6Ad-KEhifPs

Think they will form a BigBanga Con as a protest? :trolleye:

ouch :)

All of this is just very, VERY weird.

So, he's either innocent, and the Funi VA's are sticking together cause....reasons?

Or, he's guilty and they are sticking together to protest...

but, he's lawering up, which means their case might not have legs...so....they continue to protest?

not sure what's going on here.

This whole thing is f*cking weird. I’m absolutely not ruling out that he did anything, but I’d love to know what exactly he did. And apparenty Funimation just flat out won’t say anything?

Cause he did nothing, other than hug fans, which there are pics of Monica, Sean and Sabat doing the same thing.

My theory is Vic is kind of an arrogant asshole, he musta rubbed it in their faces when the Broly movie made bank and said people only came to see him, and that was the last straw. Marzgurl started her hashtag, everyone else saw this as the perfect opportunity to get rid of him.

Funimation hasn't said anything cause I'm pretty sure even they don't know.
