Christ, imagine flying out to Atlanta, a city you don't live in on a weekend that there is a con you were not invited to to do something like this.

Like, what goes through your head as you are taking time out of your life to do something like this?

Fake edit: speaking more about the AWA thing because I just found out about it :stonklol:

The first time I remember hearing stories about what a creep Vic was was probably like 2010-ish, in a Book Barn thread of all place. It was in a thread for some self-published trashfire fantasy novel called The Felsic Current that folks were having a good time laughing about because its author was also god-tier convention weirdo with a long history of getting really creepily handsy with underaged girls at anime conventions. And someone was like "Man, he sounds like a z-grade Vic Mignogna" and people were like "Wait, what did Vic do?"

I remember that thread lmao

It's weird, my local con that many of my friends have worked Relations staff for over a decade always had a pretty decent relationship with Vic. He was still pretty Vic-ish, but for whatever reason he toned down a lot of his prima-donna act for us and ended up having a really good working relationship with the con. I think it got to the point that he had been a guest so many times that he actually came to know a lot of the Relation staff. Alas, that relationship ended pretty abruptly about a year or so before the Broly stuff. Another friend who worked Relations staff for a different con had a Two Liaisons rule for Vic, period, unless he brought his girlfriend with him.

I was wondering why Red Bard seemed to stop posting. I liked her stuff but yikes on all that. I remember she had to amend her first yaoi paddle video after being taken to task by someone on twitter for recounting an often repeated but very unsubstantiated rumor that someone at Anime Matsuri (i think?) got hit with a paddle so hard an ambulance had to be called. A longtime staff member for that con called her out for not, at the very least, trying to verify that rumor and basically recounting it as fact. It's definitely one of those rumors that people forget is only a rumor but it definitely would have been good on Red Bard's end to cover her rear end better on that one.

From what I understand of it... yes? They're three Pick Me nerd chud hangers on who thought they were going to have a pleasant evening with him chatting about how unfair it is that everything thinks he's a sex offender, only for him to do the thing that gets you put on a sex offender registry if you did it in public to random people.

Wonder how the rest of their stream went. After they cut him off

Side chick thought she was main chick because Vic kept referring to actual main chick as his ex.

Side chick asks Vic to please clarify things on stream, because it's harming her rep and Vic goes "can't I just say you're a delusional fan?" And on stream Vic goes "oh, she's just an acquaintance." So now side chick is mad and upset and working through it and dropping fat Vic receipts everywhere.

loving incredible :magical: for about as long as I've been aware of Vic he has always had his one girlfriend, and later wife, which made this chick sitting there and acting like his one and only pretty funny to say the least. He was straight up calling his wife his ex, what an rear end in a top hat. Girl, get a divorce, you absolutely don't need to put up with that poo poo

Honestly I don't think replacing Vic will be a challenge. All current and newcoming talent are comparable, if not more talented than him. Vic was good but I can't think of any voice of his that would be irreplaceable.

And yeah, Todd Haberkorn has his own credible allegations against him, (I know one of the women in question, even), but Todd was savvy enough to not light his entire career on fire with the propane that is a defamation lawsuit.

LMAO that is some straight up Tommy Tallarico "I was handpicked by Shigeru Miyamoto to do the sound design for Metroid Prime because he was such a personal fan of MY work*" poo poo.

The real comedy is apparently after bomberguy's video, even more people piped up with allegations about tommy stealing some if not all of the music he was actually theoretically notable for.

https://twitter.com/lebrickster/status/1643222953293762560

also some people are questioning whether he actually plays the guitar during VGL performances or just air guitars a sync but I think the jurys's out on that

This one makes me absolutely nuts because Earthworm Jim is like, usually the first thing he lists in the things he's done and I think it's the one people are most likely to recognize right off the bat (that and Aladdin) and then he turns out he probably didn't do this one either!

Maybe it's a selection effect, but it really feels like there were so many opportunities for Gen Xers who were in their 20s and 30s during the 90s dot com boom era, so long as they had a seed of generational wealth, to absolutely break out into easy comfort. So examples like Tallarico who had enough capital to accrue a sound production studio. Or Mignogna who came from upper middle class wealth, which let him bum around for decades trying out dumb careers and getting kicked out of schools and youth pastors for harassing teen girls, into a voice acting role right as anime was breaking out into the mainstream. Or people like Lowtax who could live a lifestyle of oxy and gourmet cookies. Or hell, even people like Steven Paddock.
I think I've already said it in this thread, but naming your company both you first AND last name just screams, "my parents were my main investors," to me. Like, it's not just Tallarico Studios, it's TOMMY Tallarico Studios, so you know without a doubt that this company belongs to Tommy and no one else. Getting Don Lafontaine to read your name for your company's vanity logo just cinches that for me.
