And given that some of the reports of him being a rapey shithead go back +30 years, I bet my guitar collection that he got shuffled out of/lost the majority of those jobs because of the aforementioned rapey shitheadedness.

Tbh I kinda suspect him getting shuffled out of half his jobs is just cause he’s not great to work with, like there’s that video from way back in the day of Schemmel and Strait ripping on him and i honestly can’t remember anything significant he did in a long while that wasn’t a reprisal except Rohan and that one RWYB character.

Ah, student resource officers. For when you're so much of a gently caress up that other cops want nothing to do with you.

Student Resource Officers serve a very important function, they disabuse kids of the notion that cops are good or helpful in any capacity and teach children ACAB much earlier than they might otherwise learn.

I think that video is a pretty good example of what a piece of poo poo he was to deal with. The voice acting community seems to be particularly friendly with one another, but when Vic was outed as a pest, MAYBE two people in there defended him. Maybe? it's astonishing that a bunch of CHUDs assume this is all some deep conspiracy because Vic loves Jebus.

Yeah it's been an open secret for like 16 years, but he had kinda not done anything super big for a while. Then oh here comes a big starring role in Broly putting him back in the public eye.

Pretty much. Hell, I remember back before I became a regular around these forums, within other online communities (mostly TV Tropes), back in, like, 2008 or so and "Vic Mignogna Con Horror Stories" was basically a constant topic any time his name popped up on the forum thread. Dude has been a known quantity about his homophobia and being a sex-pest in the anime community almost from the get-go (and he got a start as a VA in, like, the late 90's)

I remember Kyle McCarley (Alm in FE, 9S in Nier Automata, Ichimatsu in Mr. Osomatsu, Ryo in Devilman Crybaby) mentioning in a Q&A on twitch or a live-streaming site like that how when he first interacted with Mignogna during the Durarara!! x2 dubbing sessions (which was one of his first big-ish roles as Aoba) it was both a giant letdown and kind of an eye-opener when at least two of the ladies around his age who had like a decade of experience on him as VO-actors almost immediately went "NOPE!" when Mignogna asked people to join him for drinks. So yeah, that part of it being an open secret does not surprise me.

I don't want to sound like I'm defending Vic, but there's a huge difference between what he did and what Bill Cosby did. Vic is an rear end in a top hat I wouldn't ever want in a room with me, Bill Cosby committed rape probably several dozens of times.

Yeah, Bill Cosby has been confirmed to be a serial rapist. While I am not giving Vic Mignogna any benefit of the doubt (dude was both a youth pastor and the type of cop that other cops want nothing to do with, after all), I'm fairly certain that the implication was that he was going to do all his harassing in the open.

The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money
There were stories dating as far back as Gaia Online while the first FMA series was still airing that often circled around him getting too handsy with young girls, but as gross as that is, I don't think anyone's ever said anything that's cosby level about the guy. He just sounds super skeevy and gross.

That’s what always sealed the creep factor for me on Vic: all the stories always felt like he knows where the line is, what he could get away with and still have plausible deniability if he ever got called out.

A local con announced Vic as a guest on Facebook a few weeks ago. They started actively deleting any negative comments (and there have been a ton), then had to turn off comments for a bit. Facebook indicates 90 comments, but only like 30 show up, does that mean 60 were deleted?

I think most of his interactions with fans that were also girls between the ages of 14-17 probably count as grooming.

The ones he didn't just flat out assault.
