Hopefully this snowballs and we get a statement from Funimation soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if Funi is waiting till Broly is done in the theaters though... And it's got at least another week for that...
Dear god I hope they recast Broly for the home release, it'd suck for them to sell a bluray with this predator attached. It'd certainly make me think twice about buying it.
Might not be worth the trouble at this point for the Broly movie, but I'm betting they're going to announce that they've cut ties with him soon enough. Probably recasting Broly for the next season of Super.
They'd still have to sell a bluray a few months later with him attached, and they are going to be selling this movie for a long time and it's going to be something people will rewatch and point to for many many years, cutting him out of it seems like it'd be worth the trouble to me. This movie is a huge turning point for the Super series, they shouldn't want to keep this stain on it.
We also know Funi isn't opposed to redubbing things.
They would only need to redub one character too as opposed to the whole thing
''Who freaking cares about the safety and well-being of our con-goers? WE BELIEVE IN YOU FAM NEVER CHANGE!!''
Man, even before your edit I was going to say the "Oh these are only coming in because he's famous." part was really obnoxious, but man, that's way worse!
He's still on the guestlist for Supercon last I heard. If he gets dropped, I'll probably get updated.
Not sure where this fits in, but Todd Haberkorn has bizarrely weighed in, despite not being directly accused. He claims to have receipts in the form of screenshots of a private message that I haven't viewed because I need to get going to work and posting screenshots of private messages publicly without the other party's consent is kind of gross.
So he is. Should I email the con linking to a twitter thread about this? I'd rather they do it on their own but...
So, you hear of someone's accusations and the first thing you do is:
- Violate their privacy by posting a private conversation.
- Turn someone's traumatic circumstance into a self centered narrative because?
A part of this reads like he's using her personal demons to flat out discredit her, which is fucked up.
It couldn't hurt. Though I highly doubt it, Supercon is a grassroots effort so they simply might not know.
(Sadly that was where I met him at, when he signed my copy of Persona 3.)
That's what I mentioned to my wife. You've written an 8 paragraph anecdote completely filled with toxic narcissism which will inadvertently, whether intentional or not, be used by shitty people to discredit a victim. Then, to throw the cherry on top of your shit Sunday, you've completed violated the trust this victim put in you by putting private conversations on the internet for all to read. If we ever needed any more proof that he's morally bankrupt (we didn't), there it is.
This could be the one guy she mentioned in her post, but doesn't name(Just stated as A Voice Actor). Meaning, everyone already knows who it is.
Love to post about a woman wanting casual sex during a rough time in her life and act like it's some dramatic twist that discredits her, and then dump her private conversations online, totally normal and not completely fucking disgusting behavior.
Holy shit.
Plenty of time to get someone else to voice Super Broly before he shows up in DBFZ too, maybe?
If anyone's feeling adventurous, he's still on the billing for Supercon.

Saw Vic at the NY Anime Con last year in November. He..was definitely off, but in ways I couldn't describe. I know these panels can be grueling, so at the time, I just wrote it off as that. Not only that but he seemed to do the panel in the most by the books ways possible. It wasn't terribly entertaining, and it felt like he was on auto-pilot the whole time.
He's definitely coasting on the fumes of his FMA fame. It looks like they're about to run out though.

Oh Todd, no... what is you doing? This is incredibly gross.
Homeboy even started his own hashtag when, as far as I could tell, no one was even talking about him.
Edit: And now his fans are attacking her... great.
IIRC Haberkorn also went off on his FB back in 2015, attacking a woman who had accused Tom Wayland of rape at (i believe the previous) Anime Boston. Wayland was disinvited (or dropped) from the following AB, but the story kind of died out after that.
This kind of shit makes me glad I quit staffing an anime con.
Been going to Supercon since 2009. I sent them an email letting them know that if Vic is still on their guest list, I won't be attending. I'll tell everyone I know why I'm not attending, as well.
Even supposing for a minute that it was consensual, it doesn't excuse what Vic did to her either. That's not acceptable behavior.
But nothing she said is disproven by Todd's post. Her being friendly is just part of.... Not wanting to have her livelihood impacted. Victimized women do this all the time. Maybe he doesn't realize it but... Yeah he raped her. You don't have sex with someone who's knockout drunk, you being drunk yourself doesn't excuse that.
Anyone who thinks this clears Vic's harassment (or Todd's rape) is showing their true colors.
Now, I legitimately liked Todd so this is fucking crushing. But I don't support rapists, and as far as I can tell, Todd is. And I'll hold to that unless Jessie retracts that statement.

It is an absolutely awful look to do preemptive damage control with your own self-serving hashtag while posting private conversations publically without consent, geez.
Can certainly see why she didn't specifically name him in the first place given how his fanbase is now in attack mode.
What I'm getting from the Haberkorn situation is the victim claimed he had raped her but he came back with those private messages because they reveal it was a mutual encounter.
This is all gross from Haberkorn, jesus, also ugh...I have tickets to Supercon since before they announced Vic, guess I'll have to start emailing them...though at this point, they can't be unaware (they run 3 cons in 3 different states btw), would Mike Broder really want to keep him?
well i was waiting for that bandage to get ripped off but Todd just took initiative and did himself in.
fuck him
fuck him
I reported the first one and just reported this one.
Went with the mocking victim option as it was the closest I could think of.
Hope it gets taken down again.
Edit: to be clear about my disgusted reaction to Todd. I know people can be falsely accused. One of my friends had this happen and it destroyed his life. When the other party admitted that it was a fabrication 8 years later, the damage was already done.
But that doesn't change the fact that I'm inclined to believe abuse victims first. Victims need to be believed. We need to listen.
And let's say Todd is still carrying battle scars from being falsely accused of something, let's say he's being completely honest and authentic about his story. I can consider that.
But why share now?
To defend Vic? That's inexcusable as well.
I'm so fucking disappointed. I know he's not inherent to the character but I feel like changing my user pic. Ugh.

Oh man, the fact he just thinks it's some weird hiccup is distressing. Like Mewshuji said, I'm a fan of his, but I'm so crushed he's turned out this way.
The fact that he made his post preemtively and unprompted (Pridemore never named him) is not the action of an innocent person.
Yeah, this one hurts to me. :/
Indeed. She didn't name him. No one would have even thought about him being the one if he didn't post that.
He's defending himself not Vic. Todd did provide evidence that the relationship was mutual so either she lied in her facebook story or Todd lied and photoshopped a bunch of chat messages.
Isn't it also possible that her story wasn't actually about Todd? She didn't name the person after all
