It's his smile at the end that makes me start to twitch uncontrollably.
This is almost digital self-harm at this stage because every time I see that phrase, I can't not see the boogie gif and it plays havoc on my blood pressure.

Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
Apparently, he's going to be at TooManyGames this year. (A convention I regularly attend) don't know what to do.
I don't know who this is but I always thought he was being sarcastic.
I used that excuse when my mom found some lewd comics on the family computer. Doubt that's gonna fly with the feds, tho.
Boogie rose to "prominence" amongst gamer fans through the likes of privileged white joke skits like this:
And chimed well with said gaming fans (who unironically found his shtick funny, for the most part). He used his position to indulge in as much fence sitting and lip service to "both sides" of one crisis to the next, quickly learning, much like Jontron, he has a majority of fans who lean to the right, and as such by the time of GG was versed well enough to fan the flames of whataboutism, victim blaming, and "both sides", whilst steering very clear from ever remotely criticising anything the GG was doing, and throwing a lot of sideways digs at women and any voice of reason.
________ was a mistake.
Twitter is so shit. They won't ban racists like this scumbag:

Jesus... apparently blackface lawyer is doing a 24 hour livestream tomorrow.
I'm honestly wondering if the legal team doesn't have shit and all this is gonna dry up after kamehacon. This 24 hour livestream screams last ditch effort to try and milk as much money as possible out of people before they start catching on.

"Over 20 people have this in their cart"
The con that got trashed and robbed is back at it again. Now they're claiming that only some of the people involved were kickvic supporters and, conveniently enough, they were underage so they didn't press charges... Even though they only returned some of the stolen equipment and apologized for the vandalism.
According to them from the leaked discord chat all the damage and stolen equipment amounted to around $30,000... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that after a certain amount it becomes a felony and you couldn't choose not to press charges. Plus they're claiming theft and vandalism, most likely breaking and entering too since they said everything was trashed when they arrived in the morning.
But of course after all this they're already planning another event for October, that they've already invited Vic to and claims he's "excited to come", and anyone who comes dressed as a character Vic voiced will get in free.

Yeah, there was a small like college community thing that claimed kickvic supporters destroyed their gaming room and stage, stole a bunch of equipment, etc. because they came out in support of Vic. Despite the fact that they acknowledged that stuff was left unsecured and a bunch of "shady homeless people" were hanging around. This happened about a month ago, I think. It was discussed in the thread.
Also, for some reason, blackface lawyer was in attendance and was supposed to speak there.
It all sounds hella shady.
Sounds like the perfect response to this con is that sureJan gif... yet I'm sure Vic stans will believe them without proof. But wont believe funi/rooster teeth/any side relating kickvic.
How did they think they could prove "kickvic supporters" were involved? I mean, show me some evidence and Kickvic innocent until proven guilty andandand *vomit*
Obviously it's total bullshit, but it just goes to show how far off the deep end some of these fucking wackos have gone.
"It was kickvic... no wait it was kickvic and some kids...
... okay it was all kids."
So they got robbed and blamed "kickvic" just... because? Were they even robbed at all?
... okay it was all kids."

It was one of the #stand propaganda peddlers that really started pushing the "it was #kickvic" angle. Also, a whole lot more went wrong with that con than just that.
Obviously, the dance stage, tech guy, lighting system, and homeless dude were all #kickvic.

The whole thing is just ridiculous to no end.
The same people who say that they won't believe any of Vics victims "without evidence" and don't accept anything are the ones who blindly believe every made up shit that blackfacelawyer, flashkiddo etc. spew.
The only thing even more stupid are the idiots using the #kickvic hashtag to complain that they never saw anyone from standvic to be anything else but civil, but only kickvic are mean. Even a braindead squirrel understands that there are obsessed and toxic assholes on both sides.

It really bothers me that the accepted "truth" is that Vic is innocent and people at Funi are fumbling the situation. Every YouTube video and Instagram post I follow is still populated by thousands of people "spreading the word about the truth".
Even the new Masako X video today.

It's really damn annoying. They seriously seem to believe Funimation is going to bring him back or something.

I'm thankfully the RWBY subreddit banned discussion of that shit outside designated threads.
I'm not looking forward to the mess that people are going to make when they announce his replacement.

A lot of nutters have realized that you can override a narrative by overloading the web with so much spam that it becomes all a layperson sees.
It especially helps when you're in high school or college and have literally nothing else going on in your life outside of classes.

To be fair I imagine that those 'thousands' are actually a considerably smaller number of people with fake accounts who go screaming about it everywhere. It gives the impression of them being all-encompassing, when in reality, I think most people know damn well he's guilty, they just don't feel the need to bleat about it everywhere, because the right side already won.

The icing on the cake is really diving into what he means by "meeting in the middle".
One example of "meeting in the middle" according to Boogie is "Gays should have waited one or two decades to legally be allowed to marry so as not to piss of the nazis."

Oh man, thank god. I thought for a minute MasakoX was supporting vic, and I just went "Oh no!" Till I scrolled down and read the comments.
So basically someone forgot to lock the door on the way out, a group of teens got in and trashed the place, and the person who forgot to lock the door decided to blame #KickVic.
It's always projection and lack of self awareness.

Having just come back from WonderCon this weekend, where there was a Dragon Ball Super booth with a whole lot of Broly, my observations were:
1) Nobody tried to kill me (I know, Vic stans, you're really upset about that, let me just cut you off there since I just got somebody in the last 6 hours telling me to slit my throat)
2) Broly stuff existed, but people weren't swarming the Broly stuff by any means
3) There was no pro-Vic/anti-Vic movement to be seen anywhere
Mind you, WonderCon is a multi-culture event run by the same folks who do San Diego Comic Con. But it sort of made it feel like, in all honesty, for as overwhelming as it all feels online, literally nobody in real life gives a shit. This is not the hill to die on.

If they dont die on this hill, they'll find another women hating cause to die on.
Good to know it went smoothly, and fuck whoever told you that.
Yeah I don't think this kind of stuff will be felt that severely offline. Voice actors are replaced all the damn time.
First off, fuck the person who told you that, they're scum. Secondly, I'm not surprised about not seeing anything there. It definitely seems like the Vic defenders are an EXTREMELY vocal minority who have multiple twitter accounts to burn, as well as a bunch of _____gaters who jumped on the bandwagon.
Wasn't there some stat that said that gamergaters were a lot smaller of a population than they seemed they were just spamming so much about it that it made them seem much more prolific than they actually were. I imagine its a similar situation here.
I'm glad to hear all of that except for the death threat. That person is horrible & you don't deserve that. But glad to know this is definitely not as bad in real life as it seems to be online. Thanks for the update!
Just had Google suggest to me a YouTube video that was "MONICA RIAL GOT OWNED AT A CON. VIC INVITED TO 3 MORE CONS."
All I could think was... Really Google.?
All I could think was... Really Google.?
I can't wait for the Dragonball Super to come back and for Broly to be dubbed by someone else, so that it becomes explicitly clear that no one actually gives a shit about the guy that voices Broly.
YouTube (and Google by extension) is horrible about recommendations. Oh, hey Thammy, I see you looked up one of the fights from Dragonball, you're probably a gigantic fucking misogynist you piece of shit anime fan
Like, you brush into this area in the loosest possible way and then they start trying to push these videos on you.

Google algorithims are awful. Back when this whole drama was bigger it kept quite literally recommending me YellowFlash and Quartering videos about Vic just because I kept typing "Vic" in a Chrome browser on this forum lmfao.
I've never had Youtube recommend me videos based on my Google or internet history, only what I had watched in my Youtube Watch History. I regularly go into my watch history and delete any videos I saw that I don't want to be included in the algorithm. Course, Youtube seems to like to just recommend some total shit-stains and their videos every now and then, so I use the Handy-Dandy "Not Interested > Tell Us Why > Don't want to see this channel" option on Youtube. Sadly, that option can only be used on PC and mobile and only on videos in your recommended feed.
I spent a month getting Bound For Comics Recommendations because I accidently clicked on article once.
On your PC you can fix that. On your phone you can only swipe it away.
