Yeah I believe Funimation briefly lost the streaming rights over that error but they managed to mend bridges. It's why something like Vic getting replaced in DB and OP is really small potatoes in comparison.
Not sure if anyone posted this yet but it's hillarious. The discussion of conspiracy made me remember it.
For reference, about a decade or so ago when Funimation was first getting into streaming, they accidentally leaked a One Piece episode ahead of it's Japanese broadcast. If Funimation could repair their relationship with Toei from that grave of a mistake, I doubt they're really going to give two shits from Funimation sacking one of their voice talents.
Stan Dahlin, founder of KawaiiCon, just implicitly tried to target harassment at Jamie Marchi (whose cases from Vic were entirely dismissed) or tried to raise boycott concerns. I am... doubtful of the intention for the latter and think he's all too willing to support the former. Mike Dunford took a screencap of his tweet that goes "wink wink nudge nudge".
Funi cutting ties with Vic wouldn't have caused any concern for them whatsoever. That's business, and talent in Japan get released/blacklisted due to scandals from time to time as well. It's the subsequent embarrassing lawsuit and highly public mud-slinging that would have potentially caused them to raise their heads. But even then, Sony was probably on the phone like "we got this".For reference, about a decade or so ago when Funimation was first getting into streaming, they accidentally leaked a One Piece episode ahead of it's Japanese broadcast.

But... the Super dub is good?The bad jokes and changes to the DBS dub are more likely to hurt Funimation than this Vic crap lol
I remember one VA from One Piece got sacked for showing his butt in public. So Funi sacking someone accused of sexual harassment should be okay with them.
I think they would only show concern if Sean and Sabat got toss since they're main characters.
Yes. ivankov's original Japanese VA got Fire for showing his butt in public.

"Dick", as in the chinpo of an otoko no hitoIncoming lawsuit: "your honour, Vic isn't a literal penis or an asshole. He has a penis and an asshole but as a whole he is a regular man, not a penis or an asshole. You see, "dick" can mean a penis or asshole in some contexts, and clearly he isn't literally a penis or an asshole."

...Showing your butt in public is not really comparable to starring in porn.Which is actually odd, because there are young guys who have been in solo porn (meant for a gay audience) and are still getting roles. One has been repeatedly been brought back to Kamen Rider repeatedly despite his appearance in them when he was 18.
Who?
I assume this person is terrible by default since they're on that side of things, but curious who they are specifically, and if it's just a rando, and don't bother in knowing. I mean, the same may still be true even if they weren't a completely rando, but you know, curiosity!
Jesus, truly fucking disgusting. Wouldn't be surprised if this dude has some major skeletons in his closet if he is willing to act like this.He owns (owned?) Izumicon and had an affidavit basically saying "if Vic did anything questionable I would have remembered it and I don't."

Considering Vic harassed an unnamed Japanese voice actress before I doubt they'll ever care what he says.
Thanks for bringing up the name and what do you know ANN has a big article about it.I believe said Japanese voice actress was Mari Iijima, the voice of Minmei from Macross.
Hold up. Had this tab open and have no idea who posted it. What the hell was happening here:
Chuck "the anime and scientific establishment is trying to destroy me" Huber was upsetting Vic and pissing off his makeup artist? There's no part of this I understand. What did Huber think he was doing, why is the makeup artist upset, what's the takeaway here?

iirc it was his asshole and he actually got arrested for itYes. ivankov's original Japanese VA got fired for showing his butt in public.
Like in general, or what?
Do you want us to break it down for you or...? It's like 6 posts up.
No offense. But like every post you make in this thread is you asking people to explain things they have been talking about. Why not just actually read the thread?
How I understand it, Chuck was reading live-tweets from the hearing to Vic who got upset when he realized how much they screwed up the case, so they had to calm him down by "explaining" what "really" happened and that he is "still going to win".I mean, does him reading the tweets to Vic mean anything significant?
I guarantee you that's what happened. They convinced him it was gonna be a slam dunk. Instead, it's McNugget who's getting dunked.So, lets say Vic had some kind of deal with Nick and Ty, where they told him they would fund the whole thing with the gofundme money without him paying anything. But since there are rumors that that money is about to run out, then Vic would be the one who has to pay the fees and damages from his own pocket, right?
Because to me it feels like he doesn't realize that yet. He seems really uninvolved in the whole thing.
According to his podcast account's reply to my tweet, he'll be back Monday.

Is it just going to keep happening or is twitter actually going to catch on at some point?Seriously? I guess this the power of false flag reports on Twitter. :/
There was a Pokémon movie short (the Pikachu short that played before the third movie) that Japan has dropped completely from re-releases because the VA for the narrator was charged with drug use. A short from almost twenty years ago.Funi cutting ties with Vic wouldn't have caused any concern for them whatsoever. That's business, and talent in Japan get released/blacklisted due to scandals from time to time as well.
