.. I bet he's never watched it.

Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
That's so awful!
Checking the replies, thankfully not as much blowback from trolls as I expected. Mainly just one guy with some lame "whataboutisms" trying to downplay it.
Good on Dominique Skye for coming out with this. The threats are in private because they know they damage their reputation if seen in public.
Although in this case, they shouldn't have any goodwill to begin with, because there isn't even any suitable smokescreen to cover up their defense of a sex pest.

And of course blackface lawyer is practically giddy at this entire situation... fucking scumbag.
Vic can't be this stupid, right? He has to know how bad it looks that people are doing this shit in his name, right? And that the people he's chosen to represent him are out here acting like this?
Like... he doesn't have to do shit anymore because at this point these people are burning any bridges he had left for him.

It's funny the same guy goes "BuT wHeRe ArE tHe ThReAtS?"
And by funny of course it's an absolute scumbag move.
I can't imagine any rational actor would hear "oh by the way i'm going to harass random women until you get your job back" and respond with "okay sounds good". It provides no benefit and kills their plausible deniability.
But there are a few conceivable reasons why Vic wouldn't try to curb this.
- Maybe he just doesn't care that they're doing this
- Maybe he's reaching out to whoever takes his side and doesn't pay attention to what else they're doing
- Maybe he feels that acknowledging that he's aware of his supporters would damage him
Dude's career is over. He is a liability. There is so much doubt in his self accredited innocence that every company has to think about that "what if we hire him and something worse happens?"
Its done. Harassing random people won't change it
Fucking scum.

Except that one of the main people egging on his defenders is someone that he called his friend, is actively in charge of his defense fund, has livestreamed conversations with the person who is legally representing him, and seems to be privy to some private information about what's going on between Vic and his lawyer.
He already publicly acknowledged blackface lawyer in some fashion so there's no stuffing that genie back into the bottle and at this point what's going on is looking worse and worse on him because it keeps escalating. Keeping silent about it is doing far more damage to him than acknowledging and speaking out against it would.
The whole defense fund was about clearing his name and getting his career back, and I'm almost certain he doesn't care that they're doing this, but like I said it's gotten to the point where they are out here burning the few bridges he had left.
There are those--those of visible profile, even--saying a doxxing never happened because all information is public information.
Okay.
Okay.
Imagine those people justifying their actions like this in court.
dude's toxic reputation has destroyed any chance to be working in anime again. hell it's ironic that bubsy paws on fire might be has voiced role.

These actual children seem to think #kickvic has been a long running conspiracy, spanning years, with other VAs in on it, and that apparently Toei will back Vic because signatures. Not sure what planet these people live on.
Petition content so you don't have to waste a click going there.

"It's been revealed that the entire operation has been under planning for years"
Oh has it now? Has it really?
Two months and 600 signatures is a clearly a showcase that they are indeed the silent majority /s
Was curious if there were any juicy comments and see this.
What roles? Had Rial ever voiced a man? XD These people are ridiculously inept.
Which is incredibly ironic since they are ones yelling for proof all the time
It's called "Damaged Goods". Nobody wants to employ a second/third rate Voice Actor with only 1-2 notable roles if it comes with the following.
- The realistic chance of sexual harassment of coworkers/fans
- Complete Diva-Behaviour
- A cultlike fanclub
- An entourage of racist and/or sexist fanboys
- A toxic Youtube-Lawyer turning everything into a pissing contest
Unless this is exactly the kind of people you want to attract.
Ah, yes. I'm sure Toei will look at these randos sending in conspiracy theories and go "mhmm we should indeed cease all business with Funimation and instead spend tons of money doing this internally because of this".
like... lol
I don't think Bamco was making this kind of flippant decision there, exactly

"Hello Funimation? Yes. Toei here. Yes. Please fire the voice actors of Son Goku, Vegeta, Videl, Freezer and Bulma and employ the voice actor of Broly again. We are sure nobody will notice."
This will never not be the dumbest conspiracy theory to arise from this shitstorm; yes, a woman was certainly gunning for Broly -- a distinctly masculine role dreaded by Vic himself for the endless screaming required -- for all these years.
There's no way these doofuses don't know how stupid that sounds.
I will never understand the "Monica Rial is stealing his roles" accusation. Common sense should dictate "she's a woman, who would she even play outside of child-like characters?" And Vic doesn't really play "child-like characters".
He's also phoning in his Rohan Kishibe performance pretty badly. Here's him delivering an iconic line, kind of poorly.

At the end of this the supporters of Vic will come out looking bad (if they haven't already) and if they truly go as far as to harm anyone then it really questionable to what their really supporting.
Hes a C-list celeb who pretty much relied on anime dubbing for work at this point, and right now no anime company is going to hire him. He has nothing going on and with most cons dumping him, he's losing another primary source of income.
All this drama is around a bottom of the barrel voice actor
It's pretty simple. They start at the positron of 'Vic is innocent', and then try to make the facts fit that conclusion. Problem is, he's so clearly guilty that any attempt to do so leads you right down this path of ridiculous conspiracies.
I'm kinda trying to ask around, but does anybody have the first inciting source of the information that Toei is pissed at Funimation? I just wanna know if there's any legitimacy to where that came out of.
Looking at tweets, it seems like there was a slow transition from "Toei would be pissed if they knew what Funimation was doing with their product," to "As a conservative Japanese company, Toei would definitely be pissed at Funimation for starting this drama," to "Toei is 100% pissed."
Racketeer also apparently "hinted" that Toei was aware in one of his recent streams, and shitty Youtubers took that and ran with it.
Only time toei I think put their foot down on something with funimation was that scene that originally had team4star actors in it.(the hercule vs cell movie in buu arc for Kai)
and wasn't that mostly because toei doesn't like TFS because they're a popular unofficial dubber for one of their biggest properties
First time I've heard of this, and now I'm sad. I do like accuracy, but for a gag bit like that, I think it worked well. No Fun Allowed dot png.
No. He's not. He's a C-list voice actor.
Calling him an F-list celeb would be too generous.
I'm trying to imagine old conservative Japanese businessmen hearing that Funimation changed the voice of one of their characters from one grunting American guy to another grunting American guy, then boiling over with rage.
Outside of specific instances like the Team Four Star thing Toei doesn't really give a fuck what Funi does with DB as long as it makes money. If all the script changes don't bother them why would they care about Funi kicking out a nobody? Toei doesn't give a shit about Vic.
The fact that the shitty 30th anniversary remaster is selling and the TV ratings being unaffected show how little damage this has cause the IP (if any) in the west, so Toei has no reason to even touch this with a 10 foot pole.
Kamehacon is basically Vic's last desperate attempt to stay in the lime light, by the end of the year he will have faded into irrelevancy, and that's assuming nobody takes him to court.

Anyway, is it true that Forneverworld is IStandWithVic? I knew there was something weird about him.
Right? If anything they would've disavowed him way faster than Funimation and RT did.
Everyone I saw talking about it said they heard it on one of blackface lawyer's livestreams.
Vic has been phoning it in for a while. He uses the same voice for practically every character he does, which is basically just his normal speaking voice.
Last few days I've seen a couple of the loons on Twitter make reference to April 15th as being something important to do with this whole shitstorm (One nut referred to it as "judgement day" lol). Is something actually happening that day or is it just more bullshit?
Toei: What? We don't even have any power over that. Hey Funi, are you keeping Sean?
Funi: ... Yeah. Unless he decides to leave, we're keeping him.
I hate those voice actors. I know people give Sabat grief for using the same voice but he can change it up. There's a distinct difference between Hero All Might and regular All Might.
I will admit, he was okay in Episode of Sabo, but I will not shed a tear when his replacement voice takes over for the proper Dressrosa arc. I mostly bought that to hear the other voices since Funi hasn't gotten to that point in the anime (Bartelomeo was fucking golden)
It's the Monday after Kamehacon, when the con will apparently be suing Monica and the other VAs who dropped out. Prepare for mountains of incel rage when that obviously doesn't happen.
