Vic Mignogna fired from Funimation & RoosterTeeth over accusations of sexual harassment

[Doctor of Autism]

It seems the only VA defending Vic (to my knowledge) is Todd Haberkorn, who likely won't get shitcanned for this because he's not a white male and a sex assault survivor. But I'm curious about what is going to be the reaction to him.

Most people will just say "They know nothing about it." Even if they did or not.

Meh, never was a fan of his DB work.

Damn good Ed, but it's not like there's going to be any more FMA.

Honestly the only thing that Vic had going on was his Ed. His Broly is like watching some slow retarded kid act like he was the devil for five seconds.

And the fact that outside of Free and RWBY, almost every role he has are either minor characters or background bit parts that literally anyone could do. It ultimately won't mean much of anything if they can simply recast those roles with soundalikes.

Lol all anime dub VA'S are awful; them and their fans deserve bad things to happen to them.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Great, watching Ouran is gonna be even more uncomfortable now.

Hmm...

Asking the serious questions:

 

[SomethingWittyandBadass]

Great, watching Ouran is gonna be even more uncomfortable now.

The whole premise of the show was literally "We sell our bodies to these girls so they can feel royalty at school". How was it not uncomfortable? Also I love how no one is going to call out these fan girls for acting like creeps to male voice actors. Johnny Young Bosch got his ass glomped and tackled at one point.

He's one of the main leads in the .hack franchise too, right? Haven't watched it for myself yet, but oh boy.

KISS KISS, FIRE HIS ASS

I said it was gonna be even more uncomfortable, not that it ever wasn't. The show already hasn't aged well on top of everything else, and this just makes it even worse.

Also reminder that Hope Chapman made a top 25 list of her favorite anime and Ouran made it to number nine because it was one of the funniest anime she had ever seen. Also her all-time favorite was....... Fullmetal Alchemist (2003).

I found an old top 25 she did years ago, so here's her favorites.

25. Detective Conan/Case Closed (whatever the hell its called)
24. Bamboo Blade
23. Chobits
22. Digimon Tamers
21. Kino's Journey
20. BECK Mongolian Chop Squad
19. RahXephon
18. Berserk
17. Mushi-Shi
16. Midori Days [almost gave the spot to Sgt Frog]
15. Haibane-enmei
14. Welcome to the NHK
13. Great Teacher Onizuka
12. Vision of Escalomne
11. Revolutionary Girl Utena
10. Yu-Yu Hakusho
9. Ouran High School Host Club
8. Paranoia Agent
7. Gankutusou: The Count of Monte Cristo
6. Baccano
5. Princess TuTu
4. Wolf's Rain
3. Cowboy Bebop
2. Trigun
1. Full Metal Alchemist

As for anime she hates, I remember her hating High School of the Dead, Every Gainax anime sans FLCL [she even called Gainax a bunch of hacks], and Pop Team Epic [she gave it a Fuck you out of 5].

Honestly I find it distracting when he’s voicing anyone other than Ed. The one exception to that is Broly in that new movie, where the character actually has a personality and Vic portrays it perfectly.

hahahaha I've heard shit about Mangina for fucking YEARS I was wondering when something like this would happen

edit to include years ago when I was being a snotty bitch about him

I just kind of assumed there already was a thread about Vic Mangina somewhere around here and never bothered to look.

I don't think he won't not get shitcanned for this because he was recently accused of sexual assault/rape.

Edit: The cosplayer isn't the only person accusing him of things. This was posted a week before Jessie Pridemore posted her story. https://colossal-guest-2011.tumblr....rst-met-todd-at-anime-central-2010-if-you-can (https://archive.li/ttQzc)
Edit 2: when JP first broke the news, Todd Haberkorn messaged a dub director who was present the night (and whom he mentioned in his Facebook post) when he and she were hanging out as well as others. The guy, who is on JP's side, gives his perspective on things in this thread. https://twitter.com/neumaverick/status/1091106085006524416 (https://archive.li/ho7iR)

Also, judging from PMs that were recently posted, Todd seems to know a thing or two about Vic's shenanigans, so his concern for Vic might not be completely genuine

TH also doesn't seem to like Vic very much eitherWyświetl załącznik 654209Wyświetl załącznik 654210Wyświetl załącznik 654211>That man gets away with so much

Because they couldn't benefit from it back then.

Samantha's Testimony actually stops my concern because it just sounds so whiney. It sounds like someone whose just mad that a friend didn't get their part of the deal that they wanted. And pretty much tells us all that voice acting is like hollywood basically, it's a dog eat dog industry that you have to do sexual acts to get certain parts.

 

[XYZpdq]

Okay so I put out a batsignal to somebody who might have some stories.
So one time he was talking at a con and had a story about some random underage chick showing up at his house. Like his actual home, with a cake, and he invited her in and shit and everybody else at the panel was like "dude wtf"

I mean, it's not like I don't believer her, but you are right. At the same time though, if this is true (and it can go either way at this point), then we could possibly be hearing more form other actors. Hell, maybe even some from other LA talent who have encountered him.

Though if we're being serious here, both sides are being stupid. All the people slamming Vic (ANN, his fellow VAs, congoers) are either exaggerating things, possibly misremebering or making it up outright. But at the same time, Anime Outsiders and all the other defenders for Vic somehow manage to come across as similarly annoying. And it's not like some of them don't have skeletons in their closets either, like AO's ongoing bitchfit with Tara Strong or doxing people out of spite.

 

[XYZpdq]

So yeah Vic would CONSTANTLY talk up MUH JESUS and still managed to get to the room parties and drink with the best of them.
