That's just what happens. He's earned that one. Shouldn't have been a f***boy.

Good on Funi for not condoning that creep's behavior.

Good move on their part, and really not one that'll even affect them much because they've brought a bunch of new blood onboard lately.

Good. I've got multiple con goer friends, and not one of them has anything good to say about him, either meeting him or working at cons he was a guest of. Vic's a piece of shit.

My girlfriend was just telling me about this guy; she used to frequent cons a bit during her college years, and back then it was apparently already widely told among a lot of women not to get too close to the guy since he'd get all grabby and creepy, and it was apparently just as well known that the guy was a real dick to the staff working the conventions. Guess this was pretty overdue, but I suppose a lot of this was only really making the public rounds in recent months.

At the last con I was at where he was at, he was ok. But I got a real weird feeling with him, like he didn't really have much respect for anyone's boundaries. I saw a video where he jumped on a dude's shoulders at a panel with his crotch rubbing against the back of his neck. And you can tell the dude just looked like, really uncomfortable about the whole thing. It probably gets more of a pass at cons because they can be intimate venues where guests can get weird or work blue compared to regular spaces. But Vic always seemed to hover around the line between quirky and creepy, crossing into creepy more than a few tmes. Also, he's pretty homophobic, too. He usually made excuses for it or brushed it off as just not liking Edward yaoi fanart but it was always "where there's smoke, there's fire" things. Just like the creepy behavior.
I will say though that the vast majority of English VA's I've met at cons have been delights to meet and talk to. Scum like Vic Mignogna and Scott Freeman are the exception.

Well I wouldn't compare him to Scott Freeman (or Illich Guardiola *shudder*) but yeah this has been a long time coming from the sound of things. It's a shame because Vic is a serious talent and he's voiced a lot of my favorite anime characters but Yeah, I'm not going to defend him here. |

His defenders are some of the worst people. They keep will all rush in and dog pile whenever they get word of someone bad mouthing him. And they keep trying to frame the narrative of these accusations as simply being about unwanted hugs. When obviously there is a very long list of other things.
They also keep accusing voice actress Monica Rial of "capitalizing " on this situations. Which makes no sense since she is basically risking her career, and being harassed by Vic's fans.

And also, like... She's incredibly prolific. What does she have to gain from this? She already is basically a go-to for any time you need a little kid voice and she has a lot of range beyond that. |

"Where's the evidence?!" is rich considering, A. testimony is in fact evidence (and no, is not hearsay, which is second-hand and even that is sometimes admissible in a case), B. this is not a criminal trial and odds are he'll probably have a Patreon or equivalent for some of these morons to throw money at if they wish, and C. a ton of these are the same people who believed with every fiber of their being that a woman f***ed dudes for reviews who hadn't even reviewed the game because an imageboard told them so. |

Stephanie Sheh got the same shit and the worst she did was post a link to the ANN article reporting on the situation on her Twitter. Just the link without any of her own thoughts on it. It was about as neutral as you can get and Mignogna's defenders still jumped down her throat. It was disgusting. I met Stephanie at an Otakon awhile ago and she was a complete sweetheart and doesn't deserve any of this crap. |

If they believe it, or they don't and just want business from the people who eat this up with a knife and fork. |

Why do these people think that jackass is worth defending? Just because he’s the voice of some stupid character? |
