You should listen to the Japanese audio so you can think Tamaki is the same character as Light from Deathnote.

He only ever really seemed to have two voices anyhow: his regular voice (Ed, Spirit, Rohan, Qrow), and “I just had rusty nails and broken glass for breakfast” (Broly, Bui)

Since it's tangentially related, I know that Vic was replaced by Johnny Yong Bosch in Dragon Ball ever since he sued Funimation. Did Funimation ever release a dub of the Broly movie with Johnny on vocals or did I just imagine that?

Incidentally, it's always worth remembering that if Vic hadn't decided to sue Funimation he'd be riding high on the popularity of Dragon Ball Super. Seeing his career implode is fun but the fact he only faced consequences because he insisted on suing his employer is just so good.

This whole shitshow basically started with Monica Rial admitting she was raped around the time Broly came out and the accusations started. At least I’m pretty sure that’s what went down.

She accused him of horrible poo poo, but rape wasn't one of those things. Like I don't want to imply he isn't a complete piece of poo poo or anything, I just think it's bad to say he did things that none of his victims have claimed he did.

I'm going off this article, if you have a source I'd be happy to read it.

Yeah when you put it like that describing the situation the way I did was careless at best. I'm sorry that I was so glib. To be clear the fact he only faced consequences because he annoyed a corporation and not because he assaulted multiple women is apauling.

I'm glad he finally faced some consequence for his actions but it's hosed up that after years of traumatising people he is only facing some degree of consequences because he decided to sue for defamation.

You're correct. Vic was not accused of rape.

As an aside for timeline stuff - Rial only shared her story after everything kicked off, and the angry swarm of sex pest fans had descended on others speaking out. He'd already been fired by funimation at that point.

I heard stories all the way back in the Livejournal days, too. Some were about him being a creep and even more about him just being a total entitled dick to whichever poor sap got the job of being his convention handler.

He was a creep and several conventions wouldn't leave him alone with female constaff or fans.

I only really knew about a disgusted sentiment that went around some of the fan circles I frequented at the time, when he was announced for Edward for FMA. Didn't really understand it at the time, mainly because he seemed to be an okay Ed, but having it all spill out when this poo poo started really brought that into focus all of a sudden. And yeah, this was back when LJ was thriving, had a friend who regularly posted FMA fanfic, so this had been happening a long time when it finally came out fully.

I think that you can argue that while serial sexual predators see every possible career as a vehicle for indulging their appetites, being a celebrity actor in media aimed at teenagers was a particularly dangerous occupation for Mignogna to obtain.

He's definitely made questionable jokes, but all of the accusations about his behaviors were made were adults. He's an absolute piece of poo poo, but you don't need to make up new crimes that no one has accused him of.

Not true, from one of the affadavits

quote:

The earliest incident outlined in the affidavits involves a former 16-year-old theater student ("Michelle") and fellow parishioner at Mignogna's church in Lynchburg, Virginia.

"I was cast in the school play of Mouse Trap by Agatha Christi [sic] where I was first introduced to Victor Mignogna during our rehearsals. Mignogna was helping with the production of this play and an assistant to the directors," she said. Michelle stated that on several occasions, Mignogna requested that she stay after rehearsals when other students and teachers were no longer present. She stated that he rehearsed more and also played "love songs" on the piano for her.

She alleged that after working together on the high school play in 1989, Mignogna frequented Michelle's summer job, an ice cream parlor. One day that summer, she said that he pulled along side her in his car while she was riding her bike and invited the then high school sophomore to his home to watch a "Christian worship video". Upon arriving, Michelle says he went into his bedroom and came back out shirtless and in "very small and revealing shorts." Michelle said it was at this time she realized there was no "Christian worship video."

Michelle states that Mignogna sat next her on the couch, put his arm around her, put his tongue in her ear, and played with her hair. She says that he stated "Let's just enjoy each other." Michelle protested and told him that she needed to go home. Eventually, she stated that he stopped and became "extremely upset at me and incredibly rude." She left his home to report the incident to her youth minister but he was not at his office.
