Ya know I use to be a fan of hers.
However between the fact that Trump was some how acquitted despite what he pulled has only emboldened people like her and Ruben to not only be foul humans but to actively defend the poison they spew.
To this day I haven't actually got to play DMC5 despite loving the hell out of 1/3/4, and I'm just going to expand that to anything Ruben's company is involved with....goddess please don't do mo cap for FFVIIR2.

So here's the real questions they'll need to address. This is a white man in an industry with a lot of privlege. He also has a mo cap studio and they still fuck with him.
After he said the Me Too movement and Black Lives Matter were "doing too much" Capcom did what? Oh were looking into it and didn't give us an update. This man is sharing sentiments that endanger our marginalized lives.
Would I like for them to him to task? Yes. Bur considering he's been at this for years and has a lot of eyeballs on him. They didn't do shit then.
So we'll see because the industry looks like him and works in his favor.

For what it's worth, he didn't seem to be involved with Spider-Man: Miles Morales. So I'm hopeful that Insomniac will continue to avoid Reuben for Spider-Man 2.
This guy won't give any rest.
Clown should have been fired so long ago, but i have a hunch he'll drag himself to that.
Folks like this once comfortable they can say toxic shit, well they start getting way too proud about it. Knowing what he believes and defends, it will only get worse.

I got your Headline right here
"Naughty Dog and Capcom actor, Reuben Langdon, is a Holocaust denier andantisemitic"
maybe that'll get attention.

I love to hear this.
Even more so when Miles is a PoC, last thing they need is this fool working on it after his "stance" on Black Lives Matter.

Seems like he's only doubling down, which is depressing but unsurprising. Ideally we'd see a formal rebuke of him from the industry, but as new projects ramp up I'd settle for companies quietly moving away from casting him and letting him fade into obscurity.
OP
OP
Capcom & Sony both now have their own mo-cap studios. They don't really need Just Cause Productions anymore.
Insomniac seems to be quietly moving away from Reuben, so there's that.
While good. Can't help but be disappointed their not condemning his words rather then quietly moving away.
OP
OP
I have no idea why Reuben decided to jump on this grenade in particular; she said toxic as fuck stuff directly ridiculing a coworker who was also the star of the show she was on, if anything she should have been replaced sooner
bruh some one take uncle Dante home, he's wilding over here

Good, now they just need to get rid of James Taylor. It'd be a harder split for them but just as necessary.
Oh hey, they did.
now just for the devs to see this nonsense and perhaps do something.
Yeah, I'd be wanting answers from Capcom, Naughty Dog and anyone else that works with this dude at this point.
Next in what sense? Even if he gets recast as Dante or something, he's still a mocap resource and stuntman that plenty of companies will still work with.

It was actually just a month ago.
Reuben Langdon(Dante, Ken, Mike in TLoU2) called critics of attempted coup who supported the BLM protests "hypocrites"[UP: Harassed others on Twitter]
Yeah, Capcom, Naughty Dog, Insomniac, From Software, & whoever else who work with him need to dump his ass ASAP. I thought this would be worthy of a new thread since it's new news. Special thanks for Kyle Cross for bringing this to my attention. Source: Reuben Langdon (Twitter) UPDATES: Here...

I kept telling myself that I'm done with DMC till Reuben is gone, but the longer this goes on, the more the brand is tarnished, and the less interested I am in any future installments as Capcom doesn't seem to have much interest in dropping him.
Nah I mean more like it kind of feels like he's been spiraling(or revealing his true nature) ever since he basically went to bat for Vic Mignogna a couple years ago. Prior to that I don't remember him even being on the radar for this kind of stuff. Now it's not even surprising.It was actually just a month ago.

I am sure there are some good Dante voice impressionists with enough talent and time, could voice a pretty great Dante.
I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom tried to pay Reuben to STFU, but considering he's Dante and Ken, canning his contract is probably the thing they least want to do unless things get further extreme.
It's really disappointing to see this news...
Who did he voice in Spiderman and Miles Morales? I didn't recognize his voice in it.
Nero/Zero's actor is good right? Please tell me. That dude has got a pretty sick voice.

Yup, hey Naughty Dog, he gotta go. Drop the fuck out of Reuben.
As for Capcom, recast Ken and Dante, we'll be fine.
Absolutely. He wasn't the first Dante, and the only reason he is the "permanent" Dante is because he happened to voice him in DMC3 when the series really found its identity. There are other voice actors out there that can be Dante. Reuben isn't the first, last, or definitive voice of the character.
OP
OP
He did mostly minor roles as well as mo-cap in Spider-Man PS4. He didn't return for Miles Morales. Also, considering that he's either non-union or Fi-Core, I don't think he's on any sort of contract.
But yeah, Dante existed before Reuben & he'll exist after him.
Thanks so much, both of you.
I agree, with that statement. As iconic as Dante's voice is, I am sure that Capcom could find plenty suitable voices that can replicate Dante's style and quirks, if they were to replace Reuben over his views/conspiracy theories. Some people are just incredibly talented.
Jesus Christ.
Is there a screen shot of his Holocaust denial stuff? He blocked me on Twitter the last time I replied to one of his awful tweets.

Its good that he keeps going cause all of this comes flooding back the minute he pisses off the wrong person. It'll happen too.

The mods made the change to the title since he's co-signing Gina's beliefs.
We really need to get this thread blowing so that the gaming media can't ignore this matter anymore, then maybe even mainstream gaming media (IGN for one) will get involved
Recast Dante, even if it means finding a different studio to do mo-cap going forward. Capcom's been doing mo-cap at a studio he partially owns, right?
All these people are untouchable until they go too far.
We need to keep reminding companies he works with the damage he can do. Don't care how long it takes either.
He'll push himself into a corner soon enough.
