- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
lol.. even for a fan film that's... embarassing.
The idea of Vic throwing tantrums at cons because he wasn't allowed to play that is just as cringeworthy as that completely unmoving statue playing Alphonse.
Christ but I've run up against a lot of "I don't care about this case BUT..." assholes this past week alone and it's always the same "both sides" "innocent until proven guilty" "but timing!" bullshit like they're all reading from one script with the same ill-conceived youtuber talking points every time.
It's fucking maddening... like trying to fight the Borg collective of rape apologist weeaboos.

I kind of love the motions Ty Beard files in the sense that he includes his own e-mail correspondence, which always very clearly demonstrate how Beard is little more than a belligerent moron. The man is shooting himself in the foot with a frickin' tommy gun. He's putting such a constant and ferocious effort to assassinate his own character that he should sue himself for defamation, and no one has any idea of why he's doing it, let alone having asked him have done so.
Based on the level of intelligence and self-awareness I've been shown, the amount of respect he has for his own dignity, I have to find it more surprising if he doesn't act like a Looney Tune.
Yep. He used to show it at cons all the time, and got in deep shit with Funimation and Aniplex.
Lmao, he was actually proud of that shit?! I thought he made this, was embarrassed and tried to hide it.
Can you Imagine being so proud of something like this that not only did you show the world this but got upset when you were told not to show it?
With how much of a ego that Vic has its no wonder that he has such bad lawyers. They probably just told him whatever he wanted to hear.
Okay, just watched that video, knowing nothing about Fullmetal Alchemist. Google tells me who made it but not why it exists.
I get Star Trek Continues because Vic is exactly the sort of guy who would identify with Captan Kirk, but this looks like something that would come out of a high school anime club.

Riot Games released new Lee Sin VO by a different VA to the League of Legends test server recently, Lee Sin being voiced by Vic.
Vic also voices another character in the game - Malzahar - so it's likely that character will receive a new VO too soon.
Seems like Riot has dropped him as well.

If fucking RIOT GAMES drops you, you know you're REALLY shit.
Good lord.
I'm not sure what's worse. This or the live-action movie from a couple years ago.
Woah. That clip, that like physically hurt. As a FMA fan, this was just really really bad. The cringe was so bad that it hurt and I couldn't finish it lmao.
He was proud of that?
He was proud of that?
Yeah, my tolerance for cringe is fairly low and this was painful.
TFW William Shatner of all people shits on your production.
Shatner is a asshole but this does put a smile on my face.
IIRC they refer to Envy as "he" but there's a real ambiguity to how Envy is presented, at least in the anime. It seems intentional, given Envy is a homunculus capable of shape-shifting.
It's worth noting that Bill Shatner's Twitter account is run by an alt-right chud with a history of making crap up, so I wouldn't necessarily take any of the stuff he says on Shatner's behalf at face value.
Not like Vic needs this to make him look like a lowlife scumbag though, especially when he's done far worse stuff than "lied about an infamously shoddy actor giving him acting advice."

Considering the "villains" arent all actual villains canonically this is worse than that rushed af live action
I don't know if it's true, but it sure would make sense of shit like this: https://www.salon.com/2017/07/31/william-shatner-twitter/
It's kind of an open secret within the journalism community. A very specific dude runs both Shatner's account and Malik Obama's account, but I don't even wanna post it because he's one of those dummies who name-searches himself on every platform just to pick fights with people. I guess DM me if you want to know specifics, but it's not gonna blow your mind or anything.
A mod already said we should stick to the topic of Vic.
He's anti Trump at the very least.
I'm an actual lawyer and I never really wade into actual legal analysis on these things because lolWhat is it about the Internet and law in general that spawns these faceless hordes of "well I have no experience whatsoever in the field of law but here's 97 reasons why my legal analysis is on the mark and that of actual trained, practicing lawyers isn't" ?
People like that are the living embodiment of
They have a very misogynistic, toxic bro-culture with all the inappropriate commentary & behaviour towards women that comes with that around their offices. Probably other forms of bigotry too but I don't remember if I've read anything specific about that.
Holy Shit! I had never heard of that. What the fuck? I had heard of some places having a toxic bro culture, but could recall who it was. Didn't realise it was them. Yeah fuck those guys then.
It's wilder than you can even imagine.
I can't even get angry about this. It's so goddamn fucking stupid and juvenile. Like just...fucking come on man act like a fucking adult. I can get behind a little joking and humor to lighten things up the story about the old days in Atari where they'd ride the conveyor belts for fun, but that shit is just the most God Awful cringey Blue Mountain State dudebro crap ever.
Regarding Riot Games, it go so bad that the state of California was investigating. Maybe with that underway, old Vic had to get the boot.
I had a couple of coworkers like that years ago. Straight dudes who'd engage in homoerotic horseplay around the office just for giggles. I fucking lost it at one of them when he snuck up behind me while I was working and licked my ear. They didn't try any of that shit on me again.
With the Riot Games thing, unless I'm confusing them for another company, they've always presented a very social conscious front in terms of character representation and such. Not sure if it enters into their hiring practice at all, but I don't think this is necessarily out of character for them, if just because they wanted to get good press out of it.
Anyhow, that's more in the area of trivia. It's good that it happened because a guy like Vic should not be allowed in any opportunity to have in any sort of power considering how he uses it.

You've missed some threads. Riot works to make interesting characters in their games but their upper management and company culture is rumored (based on verified anonymous employees) to be awful. Everything from casual sexism asking female applicants if they actually play games to claims of sexual harrassment and assault.
No, no, no, I've heard that before. I'm saying that since VAs (actors in general, really) are more directly connected to the audience and the audience is more invested in them, whether or not to hire Vic is more of a decision on the external face than the internal culture.
Jesus christ these fucking people, watching this made me seriously wish someone had some eggs to throw at this fucker.
