Yeah, this sounds incredibly thorough. Only really had time to skim for now, will give it a more proper readthrough later, but there is a lot here and it sounds very serious.
Kirbopher thing is wild in its own right. Just feels so strange to go, "Guy who did that Beware the Forest Mushrooms remix everyone knows was also the original dub voice of Byleth and is also a massive creep." It just feels like a shitpost.

I'll probably get shouted down for this but is it possible they just mishandled the situation? Or is this more of a "Doug Walker absolutely knew what JewWario did and hid it?" situation? I dunno I'll need to read more about this.

I dunno I'll need to read more about this. Poking through this it becomes very quickly apparent that they absolutely had to have known. |

The messed up thing is that Niosi is still getting work in the VA industry (though fortunately he got dropped as M!Byleth from all things Fire Emblem in favor of Zach Aguilar). Not nearly as much as he used to, but he's been in a bunch of anime dubs that Crunchyroll has done as they don't seem to give a f***. A number of prominent VA's also follow him on social media, but that could just be old follows they lost track of following or whatever.

Even him getting dropped as Byleth was probably less due to all the shit about him and more because he broke an NDA about the role on Discord, and in the process might've also spoiled Byleth being in Smash Bros. |

So I just read the whole thing. Unless I missed something, LK and TFS didn't outright groom or sexually abuse anyone themselves, but they sure as hell covered it up for people in their orbit who did. And LK's tactics in deflection are especially disgusting (people using suicidal ideation for that especially really piss me off). Really damning stuff either way.

Niosi being let back into the fold with a simple, “I’m sawwy uwu”, that his victims *never* accepted, mind you, was such bullshit. Seemed like all his friends in the industry was eager to just sweep the whole thing aside, because when he did that there was so much “It’s ok, we all make mistakes and you bettered yourself” outpouring from voice actors and voice directors. In hindsight it really did have an air of, “Well you said sorry, good enough for us, let’s get back to business!” callousness.

Internet Famous Person Don't Be A Creep Challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) FWIW, the AVGN/James Rolfe is probably the most well-adjusted of the famous internet video people. Only time he seemed to catch true controversy was when he stated that he wouldn’t review the 2016 Ghostbusters film. |

The End of Street Fighter Chode is due a re-watch it seems.
(I kinda feel bad for Rina-chan/Kira Buckland in that Flash, All she was, AFAIK, was an obnoxious Haruhi Suzumiya fangirl who got a little overexposed in the animated parody scene. Getting away from Niosi was the best thing she did.)

It's just amazing how just a little bit of power makes you automatically abuse everyone around you.
Somewhere in storage I have a Magfest 2011 program with a lot of these lunatics autographs (Kirb, JewWario, Anthony Burch, etc...) If I ever get to that storage again that'll be tossed in the trash.

He also has had issues due to his association with Mike Matei, and whether or not he screwed over Kyle Justin and Bootsy, but that is obviously relatively tame. |

Yeah, all that stuff is more "The Social Network" than "Spotlight" like this seems to be in comparison. |
