User Warned: Drive-By Trolling
Yup, exactly. Hypocrisy all round.
Watch. The various actors will issue sincere apologies, say they'll never do it again, Funimation will smooth things over with Toei (gonna need a source on that Conan story) and Vic... will still not have a career as he loses his lawsuit.
I won't make excuses for off-color jokes involving slurs and whatnot, but I'm not going to pretend there isn't a bad faith push behind this. Screech and co. are leaking this shit *now* for reason.
Exactly this. It's the most transparent agenda.
The fact that people here aren't able to see that makes me worry.
They see it, what they're confused about is how this is isn't being looked at as an issue because it may have been 10 years ago. Meanwhile people will dig up decade old things on Twitter someone said and it can ruin their career. Both are bad. When I first heard it I thought it was a fan thing, someone just mocking the voice, but for it to be the legit VA... that's really bad, imo. In comparison to Vic, though, well, it's no comparison. Vic is in a quicksand of shit and it's only getting worse for him.
I woke up this morning and saw Funimation trending on Twitter.
They really are trying to burn everything down over one greasy VA.

What hypocrisy?
Feel free to explain?
posters who have never participated in the 160-some pages of the thread suddenly show up to only talk about how awful the stuff that was dug up by the vic supporters is
seems legit
I prefer the sidelines for keeping up with this stuff rather than putting my hand in the oven if I get something wrong, especially with a sensitive topic like this.
Yeah and all of them have relatively low post counts and refuse to respond to anyone who quotes them.
No coincidence whatsoever.....
i wonder who's alt these are or troll accounts
Daww, some of you are really butthurt about your favorite scumbag shitgibbon trashheap pedo VA getting what's due.
"ITS NOT FAIR! OTHER PEOPLE DID BAD STUFF AT SOME POINT SOMEWHERE! THAT MEANS VIC INNOCENT FOR REALZ!"
I have seen that kind of shit all over Twitter this morning. It's pathetic.
Yeah. Doubly idiotic because it's not like anyone here is handwaving away anything they did, so there's no hypocricy. Just acknowledging where it's coming from, and how it has nothing to do with this current case.
It's like you couldn't find a post to quote to further your weird agenda, and just posted some odd, vague insult towards nobody at all.
Anyway its cool that Vic stans are trying to burn down the franchise because they can't get their way.
Vicstans always creeping back in this thread, and promptly embarrassing themselves while doing so.
Yeah it real crazy how they think it can erase all of Vic's problems just cause almost everyone has some dirt.
While this is obviously people thinking this will take down kickvick (it wont), its more than dirty jokes its slurs and rape jokes and shit and that's genuinely not great and shouldn't be downplayed or removed. But also we should aknolwedge why the people dredged that up in the first placeAnyway its cool that Vic stans are trying to burn down the franchise because they can't get their way.
Didn't they redub DBZ for that "uncut" release before Kai existed? These clips could be from that which means that these are probably ancient. Shitty, but still ancient.
And Schemmel's use of the f-word was definitely known years and years back even from the Berserk dub outtakes.
Weird thing is, the first I heard of it was a youtuber (who I immediately unfollowed lol..) talking about this all offended, who suddenly swapped to talking about how poor innocent Vic got kicked out for a much much milder joke.
And I was just flabbergasted as I looked through the comments and there was literally only a single person pointing out that Vic had far more serious allegations than an offensive joke.
LOOK AT THE SMOKESCREEN. Dont ask questions and what the intent is that the leak happened to be on this day of all things. /s
the vic shitstains are trying sink funimation and crew to help vic get away with what he did
" other people are bad " is a thing dumb people say because they think it absolves the first person of being bad. Instead of both people being bad and now there are just two problems
I mean, intent doesn't even come into play? As far as I can see this is the equivalent of going, "Sure, I touched an underage girl but THEY did something bad too!"
Going to be funny when the other actors apologize and then nothing happens while certain groups on Twitter become surprised-pikachu.jpeg.
Funny how you three come out of nowhere to drive-by shitpost and deflect for Vic and then vanish.
Interesting you choose to comment now rather than at any other point in the entire Vic controversy. Do you really think the use of unacceptable language in quotation of a piece of R34 at what was literally the height of ableist and homophobic humor in nerd culture (people forget how fucking edgy and vile the language of nerd culture was at the time, even if so-called "normie" culture was better then than it had been 10 years earlier) is equivalent to continuous sexual assault over the course of 30+ years? Like, shit, I'd argue Vic's own homophobia I'd say is worse. Sure it's not using a slur, but it's shutting down LGBTQ fans looking up to you for acceptance. Which, a single use of a slur to quote something vs. continuous "sorry I don't believe in that, that's sinful :))))" to a bunch of lost young people...? Hmm... Like if you're LGBTQ as well, feel free to give me your take on that, but I dunno, the latter seems worse. Like if it was continuous homophobic language, yeah, the former, but one use...? Hrm.
As a queer man, in a vacuum I'd be outraged. Hell I'd make the topic on its own myself. The f-slur is a word that should never touch a straight person's lips, regardless of if it is a quote or regardless of the era. And Sean needs to apologize. But given the circumstances-- have we learned nothing? This is a sad attempt to discredit victims of fucking sexual assault by pointing out the past faults of their allies.
Sean should absolutely apologize like I said, as should Sabat, incidentally, for his use of autism negatively even if it was in reference to Vic fans self-identifying as such to be derogatory themselves, but it's kinda hard to get mad when the people leaking the bad stuff they've said say far worse on the frequent AND support a sexual predator.
Like, if you're LGBTQ or an ally and genuinely insulted- that's fine and normal. I cannot and would not blame you. It's your prerogative to say "yeah, Sean's a guy I don't like and don't want to support even if he does apologize". Cool.
But you probably shouldn't barge in commenting on the "blooper reel" alone. Even if you don't mean to, it reeks of you supporting worse homophobia and sexual assault apologists, to be quite honest. You're no real ally to me as a queer man if you call out Sean and don't also take Vic and Nick to task.
This. As I said, it's unacceptable, and Sean should apologize.
The worrisome thing is that I'm not sure that Sean will even though he needs to. But given this has come up due to bad faith actors, I'm really afraid he won't. Hopefully he sees the importance of apologizing. Then again I've never held much fondness for him so if it turns out he won't apologize, yeah sure, fuck 'im. But, I'll find it hard to hammer on him when there's bigger fish to fry.
Hey look some conVics remembered they had ERA accounts. Cool.
None of the things that any of those other people have said or did is okay even in the slightest. But if you really want to talk about them, really want to discuss what was said or done, then make a thread for it. Because I have nothing to do with Vic and his very stupid lawsuit.
Edit - I just realized the irony of the conVics to suddenly act offended over the f-word when they use Cuck as an insult all the time.
Cuck is also a slur that is meant to use someone's sexual preferences as something they should be ashamed of.
Not surprised at all but it's worth noting.

They're gaslighting the narrative -- anyone who's followed this fiasco from the beginning knows this shit started over sexual harassment/assault.
Yeah I've seen a few on the Twitter try to claim this started over the "I just ate Monica" bean joke.
They definitely are trying to gaslight the narrative. Don't get how that helps anything except there own sense of smug.

Today is the last day Percy has to file his reasons why it's not a SLAP lawsuit.
I just repeated what the vic-stans have been spouting on Twitter for months now. I never said i agree with that nonsense. (Spoiler alert: i don't)
In sigma's defense, he also chimed in with this earlier in the week:
lol.
What is their ultimate goal though? Do they think someone else will dub Dragonball in English? Or any other of the Funimation Animes? This is like Saw in stupid. They are still sawing on their legs while Jigsaw just put the key right in front of them and walked out frustrated.
