I can't say I really blame them but this is just getting ridiculous at this point. He also gets tattooed on a pretty regular basis. A lot of people in this are just wanting attention in this bad thing. Another thing you can do is DM or email Ty Beard or Nick Rekieta (who passes info to the firm) whenever any of the KickVic side starts harassing people anywhere you see. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sougwAHoECAUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3P-GKq3FlISOX7lTS1ZGOY. This became a publicity stunt as a means to fire the guy. The affluenza case where a drunk driving incident killed four people, and the evidence made it clear that the boy committed the crime, but he wasn't convicted for it. All you really need to know. We want to create an inspiring environment for our members and have defined a set of guidelines. I know it brings some good, but I guarantee it brings more bad. I think it's relevant so that people are aware of the conclusion of the whole matter. He's had some of the biggest roles throughout anime and gameshistoryso I doubt he's in dire financial straits. It's not a discussion that will benefit anyone by being had now when emotions are flaring from parasocial bonfires and information seems to be coming out to add fuel to that fire. Yeah the harassment isnt surprising at all. Maybe it was flirting. I can't tell if they hate Vic or not because this system is so corrupt I think they actually believe the things they're doing or saying are righteous and the truth. Vic Supporters are gonna be saltyand Im glad. The lawsuit against Mignogna has been ongoing since 2019, and this is the latest (and possibly final) chapter in the saga that has spanned several years now. I think he even mentioned sponsoring for something which might've been to have Vic. On this week's Off Topic the gang talks about Poopie Unicorns vs. He interacted the most with these kinds of people. It worked and everyone hated Vic. She's just a side character her just trying to get some action whenever she can. Unfortunately, it seems he was banned from a few cons for some reason. Vic's response was simply to be kind to one another on the matter and stayed out, but if only people did just that. There's even various categories for types of harassers and the kind of harassing they tend to do and what kind of situation they commit the act in. Gonna be honest, this really isn't an AnimeGate, but we are quite possibly seeing something rather interesting. I don't think firing Vic really hurt Funimation. We found out there was such evidence from Funimation's investigation which we found out from a Funimation VA Monica Rial who said she took part in this investigation and that there was indeed evidence. It doesn't matter if Vic is innocent or not. I think for the Jamie Marchi he was just doing a reenactment of a line or scene. Now, aside from the case itself. Jamie Marchi - Monica Rial's best friend and VA who contracts often with Funimation like the two above. These guys? The Goku voice is in hot water due to the tweet deletion but they could be fine even though they shouldn't. I don't want to tell you not to believe women, but I've seen so many dishonest people when accusing someone of something I have a hard time believing anything anymore which is really sad. Good job, Kameha Con for not giving into harassment and blackmail. But as someone who has met the man on several occasions, he always left a sour taste in my mouth. I wish some of these people would end up in jail for what they're doing. He's been covering the news and joining into many discussions on it with other Youtubers. So yeah no matter what this doesn't matter. @CommanderIn your first post, the way you talk about him sounds like you're familiar, calling him a nice guy and what not. Funimation let Vic go due to the sexual assault allegations making a statement that he was fired for sexual harassment and they do not condone any harassment which #IStandWithVic see right through the hypocrisy. Additional Notes: The most common person believed to be Iago. The twitter brigade was just an ever growing flame to keep damaging him, but somehow this wasn't enough for them. He was Christian and couldn't be influenced by all of this corruption around him. I know what you're think "Commander's really off his rocker thinking this is really going on." I believe in standing by victims, but apparently that's only for "SJW sheep". So it was hardly a surprise that he was doing the same to coworkers, too. It's honestly rather jarring and very hard to really like what I said to agree with a negative perspective of someone. Even after Ty Beard appeared on Nick Rekieta's stream. -"We do not condone harassment" - Not exactly a meme but this was a tweet by Funimation and by VAs which users pointed out how hypocritical they are. That's the condensed version of the Vic being fired part. Even if all the allegations are false (which I doubt, because that's a lot of smoke for there to be no fire) it doesn't change the fact he already has this stigma attached to his name. Japanese women's names often end with "ko" ( - child) so the name Yusagi Aneko does sound like a woman's name. I want to ask you and people questions which is will make sense why I stand with Vic even doing these things. Join. How? Harrassing VA's and companies on twitter, their sites and probably upcoming cons (big riot at the next RTX, I'm calling it now) will not help anyone or anything. The Texas courts have since denied his appeal three times, and he has been ordered to pay the defendants' legal fees of $238,042.42 USD. I'm not one to promote said actions, but the reality is that it's a smart logical thing to do since it profits you with no drawbacks. Update: So the Rekieta stream gave us a small bit of news. Given the creators'- CLAMP- background and body of work heavily involving LGBT themes, this is 99.999% a lie. We've got nothing. These panels are meant to be "what happens here, stays here", but given what's been shared outside of them, I believe it's important to share what has been said in them. Start a new thread to share your experiences with like-minded people. ---------------------------------------------------------------------. Several anime conventions also canceled Mignogna's appearances. And sometimes you get information like this: People have managed to get his criminal record. I'm so completely and utterly flabbergasted by your initial statement and how incorrect it is my eyes actually glazed over as I actually tried to comprehend your thought process. I was considering making a topic about this but wasn't sure how it'd be received. He has a very suspicious record of possibly getting people removed from cons. And while I'm done arguing I will leave this for a certain person since they asked and set it to the five seconds you need to see. This does not mean only 38% of allegations were true, but over half of sexual assault allegations could not be proven to be true. It happened so long ago there was now no proof he didn't do it so he lost. I gave Cosby and Weinstein a chance and when the truth looked very apparent, of course I assumed they were guilty of it afterwards. However, in 2019 a series of accusations of sexual harassment made by voice actresses in the anime industry and convention attendees against Mignogna came to a breaking point, causing Funimation, Sony Pictures, and Rooster Teeth to all break their relationships with him. I listed a lot of the Youtubers for good reason. Mignogna has been a well-known. If this were a normal situation, this would've been swept under the rug but because people have been saying and doing actions on twitter. That should've been the end of the story that "they fired the guy for being an ass." It'd take a miracle to save those two. 7 days ago. He'll definitely change how he handles stuff after this. Trust me, gossip groups warp your mind which is where a lot of these allegations come from. newsletter, The Mandalorians Gorian Shard is a great Christmas tree-shaped character and a terrible pirate, Paizo bans AI-created art and content in its RPGs, including community-created work, Dune spinoff series shuts down, loses its director and star, How to get Deterministic Chaos in Destiny 2: Lightfall, How to open the gold arm door in Sons of the Forest, Dune-meets-Destiny action game Atlas Fallen gets May release. I really recommend that stream if nothing else on this matter. What if I told you that one of the members of the Funimation investigation faked a swatting and blamed Vic fans for it? I don't think that Vic would go after RT as they really had little choice but to let him go since they couldn'treally afford to take a PR hit. By the way, here's a great deconstruction of the letter: I've been hearing stories about him for YEARS. specifically how much of a PR backlash would they get if they kept Vic. Interesting enough, he may have been more involved with this than we originally thought which some assume he is Igor even. It feels so good to say this. 9, our middle school AMVs, and more . Any further information would be greatly appreciated. They totally don't have anything against Vic or his huge success and overall fanbase that loves him. This just became a bigger and bigger topic and everybody wanted a slice of that sweet, sweet controversy pie. Amid a three-year legal battle, Mignogna has slowly returned to the industry. Senpai'sHome - Another Youtuber who covers this Vic situation who is probably most famous for getting blocked or banned often first. -"Nick, our fearless leader" - Basically since #KickVic keep assuming Nick is Vic's attorney it's a joke that he's the main person behind the whole movement. Also tries to stay in touch with fans by doing Unlock and attending cons who will have him. If you hate the guy, fine. Never would expect the voice of Vegeta and All Might to act like this. https://www.resetera.com/threads/acnimation-cut-ties.94896/page-32#post-17794781. Sean Schemmel - The voice of Goku. Plenty of innocent people have had their careers destroyed simply by people lying. Finally to address your first statement. Yeah, I heard about the homophobia and antisemitism. Decided just to make a seperate post. StandWithVic is losing its focus and becoming just as bad as many movements before but there are people who are helping it be kept in check such as Vic, Rekieta, TUG, Emoji, and Ty Beard. Just some food for thought. It actually isn't illegal to do something like thatbut you do lose all credibility which a number of these people managed to do. This became quite the web which could have been halted or at least slowly fumed out but oh no the VAs wanted more of this and began speaking out and saying things they probably shouldn't have. He's on the hook for ~$500k. Does that really matter? People are seriously trying to fire him for basically being a bit of an ass. Note: They are banned from New Zealand due to preserving the livestream shooting and not turning in info on the users involved in that thread. Hasn't been the friendliest about it. And fornoneany of you who are wanted to unsubscribe who were subscribed to Funimation's whatever it's called subscription, their unsubscribe button should be working. The game plan was brilliant on paper, but it kind of backfired because Comic Consdon't function the same way the anime industry does and was dealing with this shit already. Additional Note: It's been discovered Perfection is a pedofile. This isn't for LGBT people who can see through this shit with ease. The 17 counts of his lawsuit (defamation, tortious interference, civil conspiracy and vicarious liability) were initially dismissed in October 2019 via Texas anti-SLAPP laws, and its been a long wait for a final verdict. He may have a mental illness and tried to stay neutral, however, PULL (or a KickVicaffiliate) may be using underhanded tactics to skew his views. I hold no ill will against Lyumia nor do I have any right to challenge there character, but that is one of a number of people I think we're on a boat of misunderstanding where the stances are. These other people are nothing worse to dirty rags compared to the things you did and you've been doing all around it. I think the true irony here is that Funimation was willing to let Vic go due to the course of unprofessional actions, but we are seeing others doing very unprofessional actions which they as well should be accountable for. The simplest answer is usually the right one and there's no smoke without fire. Then there's the SWAT threats which is another story. What if I told you that none of that probably matters to you? It's a bit sad that a major win for Kameha Con happened yet people aren't really covering Kameha Con news digging deeper into the drama that happens. 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). You can place your bets they are saving their best cards (one of them is expecting anti-slap to be their legal defense), but what's more likely is that these people are quite guilty. Namely Crunchyroll for financing it along with Eric Sherman and Bang Zoom! That's just my advice. On December 30, his appeal was dismissed again. The incident apparently . Very interesting and totally not related. Same issue and same situation except this has now blown up. More evidence pops up, Pensacon threatens to arrest any #StandUpForVic supporters who visit the con, a fake swatting post from someone on the Funimation investigation, VAs saying stupid things they'll regret later, and then a lawyer/youtuber creates a GoFundMe to set Vic up for a lawsuit. and being surprised that the people who spam that to them get blocked why does that surprise you? The more this goes on, the more I believe Vic didn't even do a damn thing wrong. Once a person is removed from roles, it is pretty easy as the community is quick to label him a sexual predator ON ALLEGATIONS. Yes, Vic's VA career will probably be ruined, to be honest I'm not too heartbroken about it. I'm going to try and make this as brief as possible. Jack has lived in Japan for ten years now, three in a small city and seven in downtown Tokyo. I love how the narrative of him has changed from a Blackface lawyer to leaking information on his case to only pretending to be a lawyer. Why did the other person act the way they did for so long? Man that is some shit writing to the max. He writes part time for GameRant, mostly anime-related news stories covering events, products, premiers, cafes, and more in Japan, and works full time in the HR industry. The production company announced that it has removed Mignogna from the cast of RWBY, Rooster Teeths popular, anime-style web show, as sexual harassment claims against the actor continue to grow. "The opposite side" and whatever they have done still doesn't negate the initial problem. Sean has second thoughts but it happens and spoiler alert: he gets slaughtered. You've been doing this for like 20 years and this one guy does one role of just screaming and becomes one of the biggest and most iconic people in your fanbase. According to insiders, she also threatened to leave Kameha Con if Vic went which she followed through. Edit: So I looked at the allegations andI feel bad for anyone who was, but they are kind of amusing. Sometimes, as mentioned before, the project name is hidden and sometimes even character names are not given to the voice actors until they're casted and start recording. Now they have to find new ways to make a quick buck. People responsible for fabrications and such, yeah that garbage is NOT okay and really screw those guys., we should be able to agree on that. That other shitwow. Ty and Rekieta warned them numerous times. Now we have to separate Funimation's firing with the KickVic. So an old story of mine is that my grandpa was on the road and didn't see a dead motorcyclist and ran over the gas tank. Dominique Skye - A literally who? Could be stuff like my thoughts on sexual assault, why the world is doomed, or something absolutely insane such as "The Kiseki series is trash", "Texen is the greatest character ever made", or even "Commander's secret forbidden love on Reborn". Monica is getting fired because she set herself up for her own demise. nnn he is going to come to my local Planet Comicon soon. Someone in another thread said that the original author was using a female sounding pen name. Effective today, Vic Mignogna is no longer a part of the cast of RWBY and Rooster Teeth is ending all associations with Mignogna, Rooster Teeth shared in a blog post. I do ask that you remain professional regardless of what your thoughts on the matter are. In large part because Mignogna's legal team were absolute clown shoes. Probably not. What if I told you that all of these allegations have eerily similar stories with vague information that cannot be proven or disproved? If you pointed at an orange and said "this is an apple" it would be easy to prove it's an orange. It's been virtually impossible to search for his name on Twitter without seeing it. Those last three words are very important. And I will do it. She is deceptive enough to produce crocodile tears in order to fool people into taking her side.". Renfamous - Some famous comicsgate Tweeter or something. Anime voice actor Vic Mignogna has filed a million-dollar lawsuit against Funimation and industry colleagues Monica Rial, Jamie Marchi, and Ronald Toye in Tarrant County, Texas District Court. I'm going to start by saying I think you've got that last comment backwards mate, and that you also don't really understand how court cases work. And it's only being formally addressed /now/. She then made her away into Kameha Con with a guest pass (given to her by an unknown party) trying to make some type of scene around Vic but was caught and thrown out. Funimation clearly doesn't pay attention to their Tweets either or they would have shut those VAs up especially Rial. Additional Notes: Sometimes his daughter comes on to give stories about the Pink Death Note. The only reason to even want to go to that step is if this investigation has factual and certain proof that indeed Vic had performed sexual harassment with little to no rebuttal towards it. 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. Every one of them has been proven a liar or contradicted themselves. You're gonna need some better sources to convince me dude, sorry. I feel no sympathy for anyone still putting up that battle. This started to make fans skeptical on what was the truth which people started wanting evidence. I honestly don't know. who's acting career was going nowhere fast (Especially in relation to his contemporaries like Troy Baker), while Rooster Teeth is rubbing elbows with Hollywood and SAG-AFTRA now - Both of which have established precedents on not tolerating behavior like Vic's. I actually barely knew a thing before going into this and I was surprised what kind of person I met. I'm uncomfortable condemning everyone involved with Shield Hero completely because some of the people working on it (the dub at least) are factually good people, and I think condemning someone for doing a voice in a cartoon is a bit much, especially when anime roles pay peanuts so they take what they can get (I mean, Carrie Keranen and Dan Green moonlighted as hentai VAs for a time, lol) but I will say,it's definitely a humongous red flag to be concerned about for those into it. It's very likely they've been trying to get rid of him for years. Jamie's "Head and Balls" Tweet is the most infamous of these. By JavaScript is disabled. Vic himself admitted to these things but nothing to be labeled as sexual harassment. The response that followed these accusations was swift: Funimation and Rooster Teeth both cut ties with him following investigations, and all but one of the conventions who had originally booked him to be a guest at their convention went ahead and canceled his invitation to their events. 19. r/roosterteeth. She's a cosplayer who was doxxing and harassing some ISWV cosplayer who played a victim card about being doxxed to bring attention to herself.
