lmao, Ministry of Otaku. I knew that guy was an ISWV douchebag after he posted a bunch of videos on his small rear end YouTube channel saying that he wasn’t going to attend any con last year that had a mask or vaccination mandate.

I only discovered him because I was looking for videos of the shenanigans my DJ friends and I got up to at the Lumica booth at ANYC 2019, and while he had some good videos of our Anikura stuff, his everything else turned out to be regressive anime bro bullshit. Oh course he went to Anime Matsuri. Been hearing some stuff about how they had a bunch of right wing YouTubers there as well, but of course Vic was their star attraction.

Not just ANY right wing YouTubers. They straight up got... some woman, and... the guy who once ragetweeted at Elmo from Sesame Street for some reason, and... uh... the guy from that compilation image of dudes sitting in their cars wearing ball caps and sunglasses. One of them, anyway.

To be fair, from the look of it, most of the people in the room with him look like they were teenagers back in 2004 when Full Metal Alchemist was first airing. They've been fans of Vic's long enough that their fandom itself would be the right age for Vic to try and molest it.

I totally missed that DC Douglas was a creep. What happened with him?

I don't know if this even actually happened or if it's some chud fantasy that went viral, but the story I once heard that that, DC Douglas, being an extremely online and combative Twitter leftist who loves dunking on chuds, as previously mentioned, did something where he walked into a bathroom filming it on his cellphone in an effort to try and debunk insane chud copypasta about trans people.

Vic fans took it and ran with it and went "See! This guy's an even worse creep than our guy!" and he got suspended from Twitter over it, but that was it.

So more huge idiot than creep, but it was still a bad and very creepy look.

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?"

Honestly in retrospect its kind of damning how long Vic was able to get away with this poo poo as an anime va considering how quickly he got chaos dunked for this poo poo in every other job he’s had

To this day I'm still not sure if Steven Foster cast Vic as a pedophile ghost obsessed with teenage girls in the ADV dub of Ghost Stories as an incredible coincidence, or an attempt to try and blow the whistle or at least just style on him for being a creeper all the way back in loving 2001.

I kind of wish I was there to see Vic being continually updated on the situation. Going from "We can't get the con, but we've got an empty boardroom nearby' all the way down to being run out of a parking lot with people waving $40 from their cars at him to come autograph to finally headed to Chili's for a Triple Dipper and then to slink back home.

Honestly, this just sounds like it's another one of those absolute disaster convention stories that Vic loved to share back when it wasn't gauche to actually book him at conventions. All told, this is probably one of the less embarrassing things Vic has done in the name of chasing the vapors of others adulation.

Amazing how the most charitable reading of basically anything Vic has ever done in his life at this point is now that he's just the god's honest most stupidest newborn-child-brained perfect special idiot to ever walk the earth and has not learned a single thing from his six decades of existence about right and wrong and he should be judged on his actions as though he was a real life Boo Radley or something.

Also his blacklisting from the industry is almost entirely because he felt it was a good idea to sue Funimation in addition to the other people for defamation. An incredibly stupid move that made it impossible for him to weather a temporary storm of sex pestery and come back like most creeps do.

I mean, who looks at their legal team of an Estate Lawyer and an online troll and thinks that it's time to take on Sony's corporate team?

Yeah, like I can count on one hand at least the number of Vic-level alleged sexcreeps who still have careers in voice work who all got outed around the same time Vic did; DC Douglas, Michael Sinterniklaas, Todd Haberkorn, Chris Niosi, Quentin Flynn; that's at least a whole hand right there. One thing they have in common: they didn't sue the companies that were hiring them after people started saying they were alleged sexcreeps.

Didn’t Niosi and Flynn’s careers largely dry up after their stories broke, at least? Like, just glancing at IDBM, Flynn’s only had two roles in three years.

The only career consequences Niosi faced (same with DC Douglas getting replaced as Wesker in Resident Evil) was for breaking an NDA and not sex poo poo. Though Flynn's VA career was also kinda winding down a bit too, but if he's lost roles also due to sex poo poo, then... eh, gently caress 'im.

Can someone explain why it’s perfectly legally acceptable to call Vic a pedophile? I’ve gathered he entered information proving that into the public record, but I’m curious about the details.

Vic tried to sue one of the people who accused him of being a child molester with a Strategic lawsuit against public participation or SLAPP lawsuit, a particularly malicious type of lawsuit usually designed to try and silence people by burying them under legal fees until they give up and go away. Only because Vic is an idiot and hired some real lovely cardboard cutout cartoon lawyers, they whiffed the case so hard and pissed off the judge so much with their antics that the judge ordered Vic to pay all his accuser(s)'s legal fees and said just for good measure that yes, you in fact can call him a child molester, pedophile, sexual predator, sexpest, sexcreep and any other combination of terms you want without having to put "alleged" in front of it and not have to worry about legal repercussions for it.

e: i just triple checked the full docket and don't see any actual opinion from the court of appeals over anything but the sexual predator line

So then where did the whole "legally proven sexual predator" meme come from anyway? Because I've seen it bandied about here and elsewhere quite a bit, especially by folks supposedly in the legal know.
