Well you see Vic Mignogna is a known sex pest and I thought the thread might be interested in another con that was still inviting him

Someone who leaned on Texas A&M to invite public sex pest Vic Mignogna to their anime convention. So gently caress those guys, though a Texas anime con is probably a Lovecraftian horror even before the sex offenders show up.

Did they *actually* invite the guy, or did they just say yes so this person DMing them at 9 pm would go away.

This is what I wonder, although it'd probably be worth keeping an eye on their guest page.

They have guests on Facebook, but it's pretty clear they haven't even talked to Vic, yet. Whoever is responding to their twitter DMs is an idiot who should be fired just based on how they handled that conversation, Vic notwithstanding. (Their twitter also hasn't been active since last January.)

So, uh... I think Vic is in the new Saint Seiya dub on Netflix, as Unicorn Jabu.

Does this dub predate the clusterfuck or did Netflix and/or apparently Sentai do some hosed up poo poo?

Wikipedia posted:

A third English dub, also uncensored, was released on Netflix on October 15, 2019. This dub utilizes the same voice cast as that of Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya. As of October 18, 2019, 41 episodes have been dubbed.

Honestly there could be multiple factors going on here. Netflix might have recorded a bunch of the dub before the controversy came to a head; there might have been contractual obligations to keep Vic and other staff on; Perhaps the people in charge of producing the dub didn't care about the controversy surrounding him/cared about consistency between both the cg series dub and their redub, etc.

Yeah, the Bronze Saints who aren't the main five lose relevance and screentime....pretty quickly, if the new CG one follows the general plot of the original (I have not watched it, and have no plans to, so I can't say for sure).

I'm not talking about the CG one, Netflix stealth-dropped the first 41 episodes of the original with seemingly a new dub.

I really only have two beefs with it other than Vic. One, they did some fuckery to make it 16:9, and I can't quite tell if it's cropped or stretched. Two, they put a loving skip intro button on it, as if anyone decent on Earth is ever gonna skip Pegasus Fantasy.

Oh, hur. I misread, sorry.

Still. Jabu disappears preeeeetty quickly, and then barely shows up after that point. It mostly likely is some contract wizardry like Julius said, because with all the attempts to bring the drat series to the US, it's probably a licensing hellhole for the original by this point.

And yeah, they insult me by having a skip button over Pegasus Fantasy.

I mean, as ugly as all the Vic stuff has been I wasn't expecting him to go from "pretty well known getting regular gigs and doing cons" to "zero cons and no more voice acting gigs." This stuff will torpedo a career, but you kind of have to go to jail for it (ala Cosby or R Kelly in the near future) to actually get completely run out of town, so to speak.

I can think of multiple famous people in different parts of entertainment who have been accused of worse behavior than Vic but have managed to keep their career largely intact by not getting involved in a court case (civil or criminal) and not admitting to what they were accused of. Which of course makes Vic's stuff ridiculous because he just took his poo poo and threw it all around into a proper shitstorm.

I certainly don't think that a lack of career consequences after something like sexual misconduct accusations is a good thing, I'm just saying that it's a bit unrealistic to hope that someone famous (even anime voice actor famous) gets completely run out of the entertainment business for their conduct.

I thing you’re mistaken . He did play Jabu but it seems it was in the 2003 dub.

That twitter account looks like a total work. The name and icon coupled with what to me looks like a poor attempt to emulate “young person on twitter” writing just comes off like another typical chudbro attempting to stir the pot.

edit: their follows are additionally super-suspect and include stuff like “cute” accounts confirmed to be run by alt-right voters, lots of anti-“SJW” remarks, and more than one Attack on Titan banner/icon.
