I actually met someone yesterday who earnestly believed that all the allegations made about Vic had been disproven and Funimation was out to kill his career. Surprisingly was a massive DBZ fan rather than an FMA fan.

taichara posted:Most of the loudest screamers I've seen that are defending Vic are DBZ fans, actually. There's not that much fuss about FMA these days but DBZ is on an uptick again and all this erupted when the Broly movie released (with Broly voiced by Vic). Yeah, that was verbatim what they were upset over.

Out of curiosity, is any of this likely to come back on Vic in a criminal prosecution aspect of "They tried to say I touched minors and I'm suing them for that", "here is evidence and victim accounts proving he touched minors" kind of way?

I give it Monday at the latest, because one of them will want to rant about how they totally owned those stupid accusers by refusing to mediate and will win this handily on their own terms if they could only get enough money, hint-hint.

Waffleman_ posted:Like, even if Funi refused to work with him again, he coulda maybe come back and done more stuff with like Bang Zoom in California, but this whole lawsuit thing has basically burned any bridge he could have in the industry. I really doubt that. There's not that many big-name VA's around for anime, so if he is out with one group he may well be radioactive. Especially as every decent convention dropped him the moment the original article did the rounds, so he doesn't even have name-brand selling anymore to offset pissing off anyone stuck working with him on a project. His career is done.

Hub Cat posted:Nah if it was an actual court order one of the twitter lawyers would have posted it by now. Its probably just a preservation letter, basically the d's lawyers giving them an unfriendly reminder of their duty not to destroy evidence relevant to litigation, probably enumerating the kinds of documents they are interested in, and making sure they know litigation is pending. Hahahah gently caress.  If Vic's mom is getting dragged directly into this, I can only hope it gets worse for him overall. Here's hoping he gets cut off from the ol' family fortune...

AngryRobotsInc posted:I love how very few ever seem to question the common opinion of "Guys are into lesbian porn because one girl hot, two girls better", but then turn around "Why these women writing porn about gay guys?" I think the disconnect is the hot lesbian girls clearly still like guys as well, but the gay guys aren't gonna want anything to do with a woman so why would they write about gay guys loving??

SoftNum posted:No Vic sued them. To be clear Rial & Co. are the defendants. I suspect he thought fame and popularity would somehow let him come out the hero with a quick quashing of all these slanderous accusations from terrible women against such a fine upstanding professional voice actor beloved by many underage female fans. Instead he ran head-first into nasty things like evidence and impartial judges who don't watch Full Metal Alchemist or Dragon Ball Super.

Agent Escalus posted:You'd still exist, life would presumably just be easier for you. And if not for you, definitely for those whose autism IS a major obstacle and brings nothing but hindrance and hardship. Like to the point where they can't get out of bed or function at all in the outside world. Don't they deserve a chance at a better life? I work in child care, and one of the kids we had over the summer for day camps was full-on autistic to the point where he had no friends or any social skills, couldn't play with the other kids without melting down, and ALWAYS had to be holding his Thomas the Tank Engine toys and had to be bribed with Thomas print-outs just to co-operate with anything. And at age 9, that could be how the rest of his life will go. Doesn't Marco deserve a choice and chance to not be stuck like that for life? What I'm hearing reading this is "Why don't these people go away so I don't have to take care of them".

I still laugh at the fact he hosed up his case so badly you can now legally state Vic Mignogna is a noted pedophile because he made it a matter of public record.
