Vic was/is one of the many, many missing stairs you have to dodge around if you do big anime conventions regularly. I know Vicstans want to either say that doesn't count as "evidence", or "He never did anything to me, therefore he never did anything to anyone" (common from the Risembool Rangers), but like....anyone who actually paid attention at cons, especially if they worked staff at one he was at knew what was up. Hell, I was warned to steer clear of him near a decade ago now.

It's a pity he was a missing stair, and not put on blast for this long ago. But they act like these accusations have come out of nowhere when they'd been talked about for years beforehand. There's a lot of reasons things just got the homegrown whisper circle defense (the nerd fallacies I think honestly play a big, big part), but it's nothing new.

Yeah, I went into a con with him and had told my friend to stay away from him cos he was a creep, but I didn't know how much of a creep until people compiled all the evidence. I was even at one of the events that the initial pile of evidence came from, but I didn't go to his panel so I didn't see it (instead me and my non-Vicstan friends played Munchkin).

I remember Chris Niosi (Reigen in the dub for Mob Psycho 100) getting accused of sexually abusing his ex-girlfriend, which he later confirmed. I remember another relatively famous voice actor getting accused almost at the same time that the accusations against Mignogna started getting traction, but it pretty much seems it got buried.

The other guy you're thinking of is Todd Haberkorn, who basically pulled an Azure Horizon and dateraped cosplayer Jessie Pridemore.

There was a goon by the same name who admitted it in a thread and I believe tried to downplay it before pretty much everyone rightfully called them out for it. I don't remember which thread this was in but I want to say it was about 3 or 4 years ago?

Former LP poster who admitted on the forums somewhere that he would get guys blackout drunk in order to gently caress them. He got banned and iirc his LPs were removed from the LP archive.

What gets me is, Jessie specifically did not name him when she was posting about what happened. Then Todd outed himself, when trying to harass her into silence afterward.

JYB always struck me as a guy with a lot of range that he never gets to use, whenever he's allowed to embellish he turns in fun stuff but for a long time nobody would hire him to do anything beyond really standard shounen protagonist-kuns

I think Lelouch from Code Geass was one of his big breakout roles.

I mean, he'd been working in VO for like a decade by then, in some pretty decent sized roles, but most of them up until Lelouch could be comfortably sorted into either the Action Dipshit or Teen Arthur Dent archetypes. Like, it was a topic of discussion when he got cast as Lelouch because it was extremely against type for him up to that point.

He admitted to getting one of his straight friends blackout drunk and then having sex with him. For obvious reasons, he ate a permaban for that.

I remember tracking down which thread this happened through their rap sheet. Once people started pointing out that he raped their friend, Azure_Horizon edited out their post and tried to pretend nothing's wrong. So yeah, it's good they got permabanned.

Hell, they weren't even a good LPer or anything. They LPed Suikoden II while hating every good aspect of it (Nanami and Jowy) and argued with posters when they said he was wrong. It was the most insufferable LP of Suikoden II ever.

He was already fired from Funimation, even if (actually, it's more especially if) Funimation had to pay him damages he wasn't going to work for them ever again. When I found out the vast majority of voice actors don't get residuals, there's no way there's some contract where he was already promised the next X number of movies with Broly.

Honestly that kinda feels like a huge chunk of the industry about ten years ago, I think like, Liam O’Brian maybe was one of the only VAs from that era that did different voices instead of getting casted to do the same voice.
