HIJK posted:e: the biggest take away for me is that Vic should have been told he has a severe problem with regards to respecting the boundaries of his fans and that he should have gotten help for it before it went too far. Who knows, maybe its hard for a VA to say "no" when you have a bunch of teenagers who themselves don't understand boundaries yet asking for your hugs and physical affection and then it snowballed from there. dude was molesting kids well before he was a VA. and even if he wasn't you're literally saying 'it's hard for a VA to say 'no' when you have a bunch of teenagers...' Dude literally raped kids. Somehow, hundreds if not thousands of other VAs manage to be around kids who want hugs without raping them.

He's a complete nobody even in America. Besides his legacy roles like Ed and Broly the last role of literally any significance he had was Rohan in JoJo's, and before that you have to go back to him being Rin in Free. For the past decade he's had a semi-important voice role every like, 3-4 years. The most significant ongoing role he had at the time of this all going down was Qrow in RWBY, which isn't even an anime. He's one of the bigger name dub VAs and he has a fan following but he has barely any cultural significance outside of people that both watch anime and care enough to look up who the VAs are. Casual anime fans have never heard of the guy, and frankly a lot of younger people probably haven't either, even if they actually watch a decent amount of anime.

yeah i feel bad for some of these kids because they clearly have turbodepression and got suckered into stupid internet bullshit. not that it makes it okay or anything but its hard for me to get much joy out of a 16 year old with 5 followers having a mental breakdown on twitter because hes been suckered into putting his self-worth into some culture war that nobody in the real world gives a poo poo about.

the greatest and most accurate yakuza story of all time is the story where two american wrestlers were in japan for a show, they were talking to some yakuza at a bar, one of the yakuza goes 'we're hardcore... if you fail the family, they take a bit of your fingers...' and holds up his hosed up hand with like two fingers missing and a chunk out of his middle finger, and one of the wrestlers replies 'wow, you must be a real fuckup, huh.'

Yeah. As I've mentioned before, everyone knew Vic was a creep for years. Check out this (now deleted, so this is from the wayback machine) ANN article about Vic.quote:Convention guests who are creepy towards their fans need to be reported to the convention. But that's their business, not yours. You don't know why they act the way that they do, and you can't know if the stories you've heard have been puffed up or elaborated. There are undoubtedly whole dimensions to these people you have not considered. It is not your responsibility to play moral police, and you don't have the information needed to be fair about it anyway. quote:And what would happen, should that campaign succeed, and said voice actor gets drummed out of the industry? They sure as hell aren't going to have a magical moment and say, "you know, I was wrong. I learned something today." Nobody does that after being attacked. They get angry. They dig in their heels. Suddenly, they're victims, and standing up to the bullies is their "cause." They might not actually attack you back, or start a feud, but it'd be a chip on their shoulder that follows them around for years. Things don't get better, they get worse. quote:. But a good amount of "activism" these days, particularly on the internet, isn't about supporting the good guys. It's about finding the bad guys and vilifying them, destroying their careers/personal lives/reputations/legal standing until there's nothing left. poo poo like this is why it took so long to kick this guy. People were handwringing like crazy at the thought of someone facing consequences for literally anythig.

boku no pico is not, in fact, the world's first shotacon anyway its creepy and bad but also so are 99% of hentai ovas ever produced and the hyperfocus on boku no pico definitely has a lot of inherent homophobia. note this is not saying it isnt bad please do not twist it like that. its just weird people get so hyped up on joking about it when there's plenty of stuff thats the same thing but straight

yeah if there's one point the vic stans have its that the industry has plenty of guys like vic, vic just pissed off the wrong people at the wrong time and thats why he got booted, not because what he did was uniquely terrible or that they were somehow unaware of it before it became a big public to-do

technically speaking 'ephebophile' includes 18 and 19 year olds so there is that distinction, but, somehow the people who are very insistent about that distinction arent the guys who are just into college girls.

the audience was always diverse in my experience, women were all over the place and always liked anime in the west, and black dudes always loved dbz, etc, they were just constantly, constantly downplayed and belittled in pretty much any space, mainstream or otherwise. it was kind of a filtering system where only the weirdest, least socially conscious women could be open and passionate, which of course led to stuff like yaoi paddles. not to absolve people of yaoi paddle crimes but you get what i mean. read: i watched the utterly terrible tokyopop 'america's greatest otaku' reality show and for some reason they had a guy rap about how much he hates fangirls and how naruto and sasuke arent gay. and then hiroshi nagahama, director of mushishi, decided that a guy who cosplays as super mario 24/7 should go to japan. and then it cut to the super mario cosplayer hitting on a butler at a butler cafe. credits.

the red bard thing completely killed her career, she hasnt uploaded a single video since then and her entire twitter account is just getting into fights with random 200 follower right wingers now. there's really no point acting like she's some massive influence on youtube. she made a couple 1 million views videos and also has a bunch of sub-100k videos, and then her account died. she has 200kish subs which really isnt much on youtube. i get thinking shes a dick for leaping into the vinny thing but also she isnt some insidious force you need to make a thread entirely about just because she got linked, while also assuming everyone else has been stewing on this drama for over a year as well.
