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'm honestly kind of shocked that there doesn't seem to be more of an outcry over this. The twitter account in the OP is getting updated constantly with even more insidious stuff that he's done and I feel like there needs to be some public pressure on companies he's currently working with like Insomniac to respond.
I think the news about JAT sort of took center stage since it was a much bigger shock considering how genuinely nice the guy seemed to be.
I think people definitely should be more upset about this. Also the deniers are coming out full force today, so letting this fly under the table would be an absolute disservice to the women who have been led on and preyed upon by Quinton.
Going through the Twitter account and things keep getting worse, including that he's apparently been spreading herpes around, too. Not to mention even more allegations of inappropriate behavior towards minors.
Yeah spreading herpes (trying to have sex with no protection as well), the allegations regarding minors, the creepy messages, the convention creeping, the cheating. This guy is a predator/deviant/creep. He knew what he was doing. He's in his mid 50s.

Raiden and Axel deserve so much better, and more importantly so do all the women who this man has abused and manipulated.
I know the James Arnold Taylor stuff took the spotlight with how that escalated, but I'm surprised this didn't catch on more -- this is just a complete PR disaster.
Of course there's a goddamn Vic stan popping up with the "WHY DIDN'T YOU GO TO THE POLICE?????" bullshit. OF COURSE.

It's a really cruel irony in hindsight that Raiden was voiced by this man, given that Quinton is resembling those who took advantage/manipulated Raiden much more than Raiden himself.
Expecting someone to be merely decent you're still going to be disappointed every other day.
Yeah, seeing that more and more evidence and people are coming out against him makes me hope Square or Disney or someone finally say something or we just somehow find out he's been fired. I really don't want to hear his voice in any KH media ever again, he makes me so uncomfortable. Sucks big time because the whole Days trio were very comforting characters for me back in high school even though I've kinda started disliking Axel ever since KH3, and as someone who has been creeped on multiple times by people like him it's just extremely discomforting. I really hope this all doesn't get swept under the rug, last I checked Flynn hasn't even said anything about this and I'm kind of hoping he's already been fired by now and that's a part of the reason for the radio silence. Honestly I think it's time a lot of people start throwing emails towards Square about this.
has this story reached any more development? I saw this on another subreddit but idk if it's bullshit or not. I'm reluctant to trust it since it seems like this person is implying that he knows Flynn and idk if that's true. spoiler'd the link cause it has sensitive info
Metal Gear Rising 2 is literally the only dream game I have, and MGS2 is probably one of my favorite games of all time.
This fucking blows
This fucking blows
I'm sorry for the new bump but Quinton is now blocking people on Twitter who either exposed him or responded to the Twitter account that first revealed his behavior.
Edit:
He is even blocking people expressing positive sentiments towards him if they happen to mention the claims:

He's also a Trumper who thinks the riots today were an Antifa falseflag for some fucking stupid idiotic reason.

Can't wait to see the excuses this fucker will try to create now.
Not that it worked the first time.
I'm so over this dude. It sucks because MGS2 is one of my all time favorite games and I won't be able to block out the fact that this dude is a massive creep and a crazy right wing conspiracy theorist when I do my annual replay. I always had a feeling he was a little creepy or weird, but the allegations for a few months ago confirmed to me he was so much more, and this today is just the cherry on top of the crap sundae he is.
Oof! As if there couldn't be any more reason to distance from the guy. Gonna wonder about Karen Strassman; not going to search her social media accounts.
She hasn't posted or liked anything about what happened today (yet) but she has been liking things saying stuff like "THE LOCKDOWNS ARE THE REAL DISEASE" and stuff.
That Twitter like isn't super shocking, I deleted Quinton Flynn on Facebook a few years back when he posted a photo he took with Milo Yiannopoulos. I also found it kinda weird that such an old man gave my friend (who was a 20-year-old girl at the time) his phone number at an anime convention.
He was essentially retired at this point but I do hope he isn't asked back to the few roles he was still doing.
They even have a appropriate reason to do so (besides Quinton being shit of course) now that they will also have to recast Axel in Japan too after the death of Keiji Fujiwara.
Good, burn your idols. The cult of personality must end.
Glad this came to light.
Oh, I didn't know that happened, well, all the more reason to sack him
Axel's probably just gone at this point. The character's arc is basically over so they can use Keiji being gone as a good excuse to let the character fade away. It's not like Xehanort where you kinda had to keep the guy around because he was the main villain.
They don't even have to fire him. Just don't ask him to come back and cite taking the character in a different direction. It's what they did to the VAs of Hayner, Pence, and Olette. They didn't even ask Hayden to come back and she was just raising a baby.
For somebody like this POS, they can dump him without a second thought because he isn't locked into the role like the Disney Cast are.

True they could go route too. While the character is a fan favorite it doesn't seem like he will be that essential to the plot of the series going forward.
Why are all these era of voice actors fucking abusers and conspiracy pieces of shit?! I'm starting to wonder if any of my favorite characters throughout the 2000's aren't voiced by terrible people. Metal Gear Rising is one of my favorite games of all time, now I don't think I can ever stomach to play it again because I'd hear this fuckers voice. But that's just me being silly talking about video games, there's more important things here. I hope the victims get justice, and Flynn isn't given the power to harm more people.
