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

[INVCTS]

It's a little hilarious that Rooster Teeth is the company best situated to defend against a lawsuit at this point in time, given their general previous mismanagement.

This showed up on my feed, figured I'd just throw this up here. The only time I saw this guy was from a clip from last year of him throwing down a JewWario hat in anguish because Justin was a close friend of his when he was working with Channel Awesome (he's a "literally who", but that's all I know). It's kind of a call-out video to MarzGurl, but he's one of many making parallels to Kavanaugh.

If Sir Salisbury sees this, I just wanna say that anybody who unironically likes Macross Delta has shit taste.

Frontier was alright (I don't wanna aggro @Sheryl Nome).

NICK LIVE IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES!

Delta was bad but I liked some of the songs

Frontier is the best Macross reee how dare you not like what i like

 

[Drip Feed]

Lets go attack the lawyer who just raised 22,000 dollars in a single day for a legal fund and make up shit about him. This will turn out great! SJW's have to be brain damaged. Its the only explanation.

As long as its destroying the person they accumulatively hate they dont give a shit if its right or wrong, even if Vic wins this thing, the next thing for these sheep will just be "Well the court is against women and its an unfair trial, rigged"

Theres no winning with people like that, fart brains.

Can't wait until they try to sue the US court system because Vic is going to use it.

JAIMAS' QUICK-AND-DIRTY GUIDE TO THE VIC CONTROVERSY:

1. A bunch of unfounded allegations started by ANN and Marzgurl in particular began to filter through Twitter that Vic Micnogna was a sexual predator. No actual proof, just pages of allegations, mostly unsorted. For those going "Hey, this sort of reminds me of ChangeTheChannel!" congratulations, you have a functioning sense of pattern recognition. The pair begin the #KickVic hashtag to get Vic fired. The timing of this is right after an ANN staffer got outed as a sex offender.

2. ANN goes to all their buddies to spread it around. Derek Padula does a write-up that "explains everything," by spending over 80% of said write up not discussing any allegations against Vic, several paragraphs comparing him to Bill Cosby, discussing Todd Haberkorn (for some reason), and basically doing anything but make a compelling case. Gizmodo gets in on this and declares Vic guilty in everything but name. Worth noting: Several of the claims made against Vic are patently ridiculous, such as calling him a homophobe for refusing to sign an unofficial yaoi book.

3. Jamie Marchi and Monica Rials declare that the claims are absolutely factual, again with no evidence. When confronted they sperg the fuck out, arguing they're being harassed when people do such unthinkable things as telling them provide proof or GTFO. They double down immediately, declaring everyone who dares disagree with them is harassing them by definition. Marchi in particular declares that Vic deserves to be castrated and/or executed.

4. Funimation allegedly "investigates' and fires Vic, as does Roosterteeth. Surely by coincidence, a personal acquaintance of Rials takes his place in all his VA endeavors.

5. ANN and friends continue to accost Vic in an effort to shut down his potential job offers. As many as 15 cons purportedly cancel his appearances. Vic becomes persona non grata in voice acting circles. Vic responds with remarkable candor, thanking his fans for his support and encouraging them not to engage Rials or Marchi directly.

6. People smell bullshit and ANN's involvement gets exposed, as does the fact that almost everyone involved with declaring Vic guilty at Funimation are people who have provably done worse. Monica Rials is #MeToo'd, though she denies it. Amanda Winn-Lee, apparently still sore from Revolution 60, declares that she hopes a female critic gets raped. More and more Funimation associates declare that if you support Vic, you're a harasser that hates women. No one cares at this point. Multiple culture war coverers (such as Hambly) begin to bring up the ongoing scandal and cover it in ways Rials and Marchi don't like. Anti-CG spergs immediately rally to the Anti-Vic crowd, further cratering its already leaking credibility.

7. Pensacon threatens attendees that anyone who shows up wearing a "Stand with Vic" shirt will be arrested and criminally prosecuted, if not reported to the FBI, and the account operator gleefully spergs about how much they want to see Vic supporters suffer. Their Twitter is publicly mocked until they lock it temporarily.

8. Weeby Gal, one of Vic's accusers, the most credible one up to this point, has her video evidence proven to be faked, as it had massive redactions. The full video is released and mirrored. Weeby Gal deletes fucking everything.

9. Nick Rekieta gets involved. Does an overview of the situation. Advises Vic to lawyer up because proving malicious intent and tortious interference is going to be piss-easy with these assholes. Vic does so and allows Nick to give some announcements on his behalf. Pants are shat when Nick is gathering evidence to give to Vic's case. Blood is now in the water and the internet's sharks salivate.

10. Pensacon claims to have recieved a bomb threat from a Vic supporter. Local spergs investigate and find no such threat occurred. Unfortunately for Pensacon, they were planning to host that event at a government building, which means the joint anti-terrorism task force is now involved because of this idiot blowing smoke. DHS, FBI, and DIA get involved, and start getting some information from the Youtubers who initially covered the drama (Yellow Flash, Hambly, et al). This entire shit-show just came to the attention of the US Government, however briefly, proving that weebery is, as some have suggested, serious business.

11. Samantha Inoue-Harte claims to have been SWATTed by a Vic supporter. The images she posts are traced and it turns out they come from a previous SWAT Hoaxing she did in 2016. Two hoaxes for the price of one! It turns out Inoue-Harte is a former Funimation staffer and IRL friend of Monica Rials. ANN puts up an article declaring she dindu nuffin. Unfortunately all the police reports show is that her door was damaged, not that she was SWATed.

12. Sean Shemmel believes this, only to realize he was in the wrong, retract his statement, then lock his Twitter. To chase this, Schemmel is also said to have hoaxed a SWATing from a vic supporter. Again, local spergs conacted police, discovred this was false. That is three hoaxed crimes by Vic supporters in under 2 days.

13. Vic announces intent to sue. Bricks are shat. Targets include Marchi, Rials, Saucedo, Chapman, and dozens of others. Funimation is HQ'd in Texas, which has Vice President Laws. Funimation, ANN, Gizmodo, and Roosterteeth may be liable for the shit their various staffers have said. Vic's GoFundMe hits $20,000 in less than a day. Anti-Vic elements try to slander Nick Rekieta and get the GFM shut down, but fail.

14. Marchi and Rials go poor innocent me routine and try to act like all is good now and nothing is ruined. No one is buying it.

This controversy is one of the most autistic things I've seen in a while and I am enjoying the train wreck. I really hope Vic wins in the end, I'm really looking forward to that happening. Every one of these people are cuntbags and and my family has a saying for people like them: "If you're going to ruin my life, then by God you're going to work for it".

Make 'em work for it, champ.

Something the police faxed her, anyone familiar with police reports?

"Yeah lady, your door was maybe damaged by somebody. It wasn't us though. We'll go ahead and file a vague report that goes nowhere."

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

He gonna sue Chapman too? Bc its about time they got their comeuppance for slutting it up to get a job on an anime website and also ruining a house or something?

 

[AnOminous]

As long as its destroying the person they accumulatively hate they dont give a shit if its right or wrong, even if Vic wins this thing, the next thing for these sheep will just be "Well the court is against women and its an unfair trial, rigged"

Who cares if they whine that the fight is rigged if they're doing it through a mouth full of blood and broken teeth?

 

[verissimus]

Bart Simpson was voice acted by a woman

And Laura Bailey did the voice over for kid Trunks if I'm not mistaken. I also think a female voiced Yahiko and at one point Soujiro from Ruroini Kenshin.

 

[Captain Manning]

People keep asking, "What if the court sides against Vic?"

My personal response is "fine." This isn't even about Vic winning. This is a response to the jackasses claiming they've won because "listen and believe" doesn't have the same standards of proof as a court of law. Well, of course it doesn't. Lets move it into a court of law and see what happens.

Also, I just woke up and... HOLY SHIT!

Frontier is the best Macross reee how dare you not like what i like

I liked Frontier because I grew up with the first 36 episodes of Macross. The callbacks in Frontier gave me happy nostalgic feels.

And Laura Bailey did the voice over for kid Trunks if I'm not mistaken. I also think a female voiced Yahiko and at one point Soujiro from Ruroini Kenshin.

Hell, Brina Palencia was "young Broly" in the Broly movie. Which means she was Vic's child voice.

Using women in voice roles of prepubescent boys is fairly common.

 

[verissimus]

Apparently Racket's support is directing fire his way.

I'm told this guy is respected in the Manga scene? I don't know him myself. Also, the assumption Nick was dressing as a random basketball player rather than his good friend is something else. That said, I read Vic's message as a friend, separate from Rackets, asked him to set up the gofundme, and Vic gave permission to the friend, who worked with Nick to do so, as I thought Nick and Vic didn't know each other well.

Uh. Although I suppose I deserve a kick in the head for doubting Nick getting approval from Vic without having seen any prior tweet proving that was case, my fear still came to fruition where the SJWs are going to bring up Nick's affiliation with alt-right figures and his clearly politically incorrect bursts, but I suppose it wouldn't have mattered either way at this point.

PS
God this whole thing is so ridiculous. How did we manage to get a backwoods Minnesota Lawyer, CG spergs, youtube opportunists (*cough* Q#), etc. to team up with Vic to get at ANN, MarzGurl, Funimation, and these Anti-Vic nutjobs?

 

[Captain Manning]

So basically Vic provided evidence that he gave Nick permission to do the GoFundMe, and people are using Vic's association with Nick against Vic.

Good. The spergery grows. That GoFundMe will probably get even more donations now. Reeeeeeeeeee!

It really is the most Autistic of the Channel Autism CTC fools simply striking out in another direction. And suddenly bumping hard against some of the lessons learned and the experienced individuals from Comicsgate, who've discovered how to use the law to not get steamrolled by these lunatics. And this is a dangerous moment for the eternally aggrieved SJW's. Suddenly all the different nerd communities are talking. The Comicsgaters learned from the Gamergaters how to push back. They took it another step and started throwing lawyers. Now the Comicsgaters are showing the anime spergs what they have learned. This is not how this is supposed to work. They are supposed to come into a community, shout Muhsogyknees and have everyone bowing to them. The damn nerds aren't supposed to organize, or fight back... with LAWYERS!

 

[Nemo]

I hope that Vic can continue to work on shows like JoJo in LA. I take back my original comment about Rohan. It still isn't my favorite role of his, but he is doing a good job.

I just got tired of people trashing Vic on Twitter and saying that he is untalented and replaceable in every single role he's ever voiced. I can understand if someone doesn't like a particular show, but it's just a way of kicking him when he's down.

It's the pit effect. As I call it.

You keep pushing all them "-ists" into a pit on the basis of unpersoning them, you eventually run out of pit, and when they climb back out they're fucking pissed.

I find it so amusing that this company which was founded by two drunk Halo fans who made a company just to make funny little Halo videos are now at the epicenter of the biggest weeb controversy in recent memory.

It always amazed me how these types are so willing to throw out potentially career-ending accusations like they're Halloween candy just so they can win petty arguments about bullshit like video games and comic books. I knew they'd run with this Vic thing, but man, they really beat the hell out of this horse to get all of the social currency they could out of it.
It's satisfying to see someone actually taking them to task and making them face the consequences of their spergery for once.

People keep telling me Otter Media/Rooster Teeth/Crunchyroll is completely autistic, but there's two things that have lead me to question that:

1. They are co-producing Shield Hero and have promoted the fuck out of it in spite of the controversy.

2. Their HR and legal departments seem to be on point. They distanced themselves from Vic, in the least autistic way possible, by simply saying they're cutting ties and leaving it at that. Rekeita mentioned that that's the correct way to handle these things.

They might be woke, but are they so woke they're looking to go broke?
