Quinton Flynn (Raiden from MGS, Axel from Kingdom Hearts) has been sexually harassing his female fanbase on social media
- Thread starter Neoxon
- Start date
I remember Dan Ryckert saying in Metal Gear Scanlon that he was a giant douchebag. I wonder if this was an open secret or not.
Great. He's like the one damn person in the industry who shares my name, even. (Irrelevant, I know. Sorry.)
Super disgusting and I'm glad it's coming to light.

Disgusting, another creep to the trash bin.
Fuckers just can't resist using whatever fame they have to harass people.

He was Bryan Singer's assistant, so theres always a chance he was involved in some shit.
Wait until you find out about every childhood movie you liked and everyone involved
WTF is happening with VA's??? This is like the 4th or 5th one with problematic stuff in the past months... Unfortunately all people I admired in the VA industry but damn
Then again, David was pretty harsh on Weinstein and wrote this during the height of #MeToo :
TwitLonger — When you talk too much for Twitter
TwitLonger is the easy way to post more than 140 characters to Twitter
So while I don't believe it, at this point, it seems like anyone can be an asshole. I sure as fuck hope it isn't the case with Hayter though.

I really hope so, but I'm worried that it won't happen for NMH3 since it's unionized. I suppose it depends on if they already recorded the game's dialogue or have the contract locked in.

Something about sexual jokes regarding a 15-year-old at a convention.
. . .What in the hell is going on with VA's lately? Or just in the industry as a whole lately?! (And not just gaming either.)
It's been a slew of people coming out of the woodwork as being shitty and/or having shitty beliefs.

It's not the gaming industry or VAs. It's society. That's the real eye-opening shit, when you realize this is just the tip of the iceberg.
I unfollowed him when he would on occasion like/retweet pro-Trump stuff. But of course it gets worse. I wasn't actually sure whether the Twitter was actually him or whether he had a social media person but the audio is definitely him, so...ugh. Gross. What the fuck is wrong with people.
We've reached a point where victims have an easy way to come forward and share their stories and be heard, and where society is beginning to take these issues seriously (although we have a long way to go).
Sigh... very sad to see. Especially from someone involved in KH, being a series I perhaps most adore. I liked this voice too for a few characters.
Time to recast then. Whoever voices Travis from NMH or Reno in FF7 R both sound like ideal candidates to me.

Robin Atkin Downes and Arnie Pantoja. Either could work. Interestingly, Flynn was the voice of Reno in most of his appearances prior to Remake.
This one sucks too but this is another one in a long list of "celebrities" (from all areas) turning out to be insane/evil/taking advantage of others. The past 5-10 years has been full of it. It's just better to realise we don't really know any of these people at this point. It's made me more cynical for sure...
This man is a total creep. Hopefully his victims get the support they need.

The KH Days Trio are my favorite characters in that series (altho mostly Roxas and Xion) so this really sucks to hear
At the very least Axel was always meant to basically be not-Reno, and we already have a new actual-Reno, so hopefully they'll just pivot to using him.

Ugh, years ago, I saw seperate interviews with him, one with KH2 and one with Advent Children and in both interviews he was asked some thing like "What drew you to the character?" or "What do you like about the character?" and both times he just flatly says "I'm just here because they paid me". I mean you could say "Well, he's honest" but that made me rather suspect of him ever since. Figured it was just a matter of time before something like this happened.
Every industry is going to have a handful of sociopathic creeps willing to take advantage of others, then use their fame/clout/money to keep things quiet. Think of the rock stars who've taken advantage of impressionable young fans, or teachers who have preyed on their students. It's gotten slightly easier to expose them, thanks to social media, but it's still a long, uphill battle - and, as we've seen before, they're just as willing to utilise those same social media tools used to expose them to rally a defence force :S
Yuck, he isn't even shy about it. Fire him and James Woods as well (I know he can't be fired unfortunately).
This one stings more than James Arnold Taylor.
Wait what happened with James Arnold Taylor?
Voice Actor James Arnold Taylor (Ratchet/Tidus/Obi-Wan) is posting racist & covid conspiracies on Parler
To those who don't know Parler is a fringe right-wing social media platform blowing up of late because the right can't admit Trump lost. James Arnold Taylor, a well known video game and animation voice actor of Ratchet in the Ratchet & Clank games, Tidus in Final Fantasy X, and Obi-Wan in all...

Big yikes. Parlor is gonna reveal the dark side of a lot of people I reckon.
I've known Quinton was an asshole for a long time now, but I always thought he was just an ASSHOLE, not a sicko. Ugh.
I don't think we idolize people like Flynn in particular, it's just a bummer when a voice you associate with characters you like, especially if you're familiar with them since childhood, turns out to be a shitty person. That's how I feel anyway.

I guess we wait and see if Square recasts the role for the next KH game Axel shows up in. It's not like MGS is still a thing anymore.
