If factual evidence is indeed brought into the court of law that Vic is sexually harassing someone in the terms of the court, then I will accept that with no question. Whether Vic is innocent or not, this is one messed up industry that really needs some cleanup, but that isn't what the people in this job's are.

If not and it turns out to be a big nothingburger, then he's owed a lot of apologies, and somebody's got a lot to answer for. Over the past few weeks with the release of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, accusations and stories have piled up mainly from convention goers about Mignogna's alleged antisemitic comments, general unease with LGBTQ+ elements in anime and fandom, and sexual misconduct with young, presumably starstruck con goers (hugging, kissing, groping, inviting them up to his hotel room). No news on a court date for this case yet. I was sixteen at the time, but looked younger than that due to my height and weight. Vic will be okay, I'm confident in that. If that's true then we dive into if corrective action was taken and if that was Vic is pretty much going to brutally lose this court case for lying.

This time it's the ARK: Survival Evolved developers, being sued by the Dungeon Defender developers.Sponsored By: Lenovo Game State!

Jessie Pridemore and other people are trying to get attention from this by making fake allegations or faking anything. Plenty of innocent people have had their careers destroyed simply by people lying. A lot of the stories people said "I didn't think it was wrong at the time" which should raise eyebrows. But let's jump to the present. She accused Vic's situation being worse than her brother's and said things she probably shouldn't have said. Nope they don't have a stock. Has locked down her account and moved to Japan I believe. Is Vic back on? Shane did say "We did stuff that was not okay then, and certainly not okay now" which is to be taken with a grain of salt but it does make you wonder about the "we." Sean has second thoughts but it happens and spoiler alert: he gets slaughtered. Then we have the mob. Good job, Kameha Con for not giving into harassment and blackmail. This shows them no, it does not. Rooster Teeth should be perfectly safe with 0 issues.

Han Leia was still PO'd about the whole not signing her Fanart. holy shit this still was going on? And in other news, Youtube may have been supporting a Pedo. If it was, something else would have happened at mediation, which may have been the first time that Mr Mignogna found out how badly the case was going for him. And the moment anyone even questioned or asked (not demanded) those people were declared to be harassing and blocked. A loss at the TCPA stage means that Vic is required to pay attorney fees and mandatory sanctions to the defendants. On October 28, 2021, the District Court referred the motion and .

Him trying to claw back any scrap of credibility back so he could resume being anime famous is on brand. A thread with responses that are accounts of him being a sex pest, a homophobe, or a jerk. Somehow it's tied to blaming Vic. And you're trying to take away the credibility of the points I made by suggesting that I'm part of this opposition and backtracking and stating that you wrote it to be purposefully convoluted or that you didn't say that he was fired for cheating on his wife, even though: Iwill say that cheating on your wife isn't something you should be fired for. I'm sorry. Then there's the SWAT threats which is another story. Evenif you gave him the benefit of the doubt he's bad at reading body language and can't sense personal barriers, that doesn't change the fact that he shouldn't have done it or been in that situation in the first place. Then the Broly movie came and Funimation stopped caring so much after getting the $$$ and made the easier choice to get the boot. You can't paint yourself as less biased or "skewed" when you're deliberately writing to make your opinion seem the most reasonable and right. So why was Vic a target? If two men shoot and kill each other at the same time, does that make neither of them a murderer? There are more instances and friends of mine who also saw him at cons witnessed, but those are the two most prominent ones.

Is it because she never liked Vic and that third experience with him really left a bad taste in her mouth? There was talk about him suing RT as well, so him losing this case kinda guarantees he won't sue RT.

This has been one of those open secrets among the anime community, especially those who frequent conventions, for a long time now. You're right, it's hard to prove someone is a liarbecause it's more subjective than objective and can apply to a specific situation or be a general trait. Even if the worst of the allegations were false and Vic was just a perv who made people uncomfortable, only a fucking idiot thinks you can sue someone for firing you over that. Most likely has ties to other members in this group as well conspiracy or not. I'm going to put this bluntly. I definitely know he either told the 13 year old to go kill himself or the mother sex tape comment. Account of him fondling a 16 year old fan on the butt, And another of him being very 'handsy', to put it in the author's words, with a 14 year old, Refusing to apologize for offending Jewish people by comparing a loud con to a Holocaust, but he does and has signed non-homoromantic/homosexual fanart before, including romantic stuff. The saddest part is that he was willing to let this all go and still hold Ty's law firm back from destroying these people. He admitted to hugging some people without consent which made them uncomfortable, tickling someone without permission making them uncomfortable, and the instances where he said that person went to the room with them. I'm surprised he's still fighting. Monica Rial - This well known VA for her many roles often ends up being the one causing the most trouble. However, its awfully clear that his actions aren't ambiguous at all, as there's even photo evidence of him kissing 14 year old girl on the cheek and him putting his hand on her waist under her hoodie for a photo. One of the editors even labeled a bunch of Youtubers Nazis for covering it. I don't know copyright laws on facebook posts, but I'm pretty sure that's illegal. It also was kind of amusing. If any domino was going to be the first to fall for Vic, it would have been Rooster Teeth. And before nonbelievers say, we know it's lies.

Let's see what Jack, Trevor, Blizzb3ar, and Griff think are the the funniest memes of 2023. over 10 years of alligations and people being warned about him at cons seems a bit too much for it all to be made up. I'm not going to hide the fact I thought Vic was a bad person. It's for closest racists/homophobes so they can latch onto it. They also managed to find the real names of the people who made the allegations and oddly enough they lied about these people's occupations as well. Rooster Teeth and Funimation said very little on the matter like a company should. Including some young-ish barely legal stories iirc. Famous for telling Monica Rial "She ain't invited." Then Vic gets announced and everyone is excited. Nothing most likely is going to happen. I think Todd is suing simply due to her spreading this around and it affecting his work ethic (which he also had a false allegation with hair pulling earlier). He tries educating people on the law on how to approach them from a law standpoint but is not afraid to unless his sass on the onslaught of #KickVic trying to ruin his career. I'll start with Vic. You can look them up in the link if you want and I shouldn't need to say this but don't message these guys please: https://www.beardandharris.com/index.html. The window of opportunity to act on these is out the window as he put it. And now the war between the KickVic and the StandWithVic's (the ladder of which I haven;t seen Commander mention here a lot, would be funny though considering those seem quite vocal about it all on twitter quite a lot) Just stop. Funimation will be paying legal fees, but they should be fine since they didn't exactly saying anything wrong (still should fire whoever made the funimation tweets). It's doing very well and the prosecution is taking action. People tease the silly logic behind that, -"I'm calling homeland security" - Another Monica post in which she threatened to call homeland security on a Vic fan. "I have gay friends and I gave them jobs". Trust me, gossip groups warp your mind which is where a lot of these allegations come from. The "Vic Supporters" have been making the argument that Vic's defense and lawsuit have merit behind them. I'm kind of shocked to see how few DON'T know it by now. He writes part time for GameRant, mostly anime-related news stories covering events, products, premiers, cafes, and more in Japan, and works full time in the HR industry. Additional Notes: The most common person believed to be Iago. In stark contrast to her initial appearance, Malty is sinister, deceitful, and a compulsive liar. I personally have attended some with such disses. Don't engage an eventthat requires you to be in close proximity to minors /when you don't know what's appropriate or professionalbehavior/. I really recommend staying out and ignoring this stuff because it's gotten really, really toxic. Vic is a sex pervert and got fired for it, then sued the companies that fired him for it claiming they breached his contracts and lost because he's a sex pervert. Also did a hilarious parody with Emosh playing the role He Who Slays Sandwhiches. Numerous reports of fellow VAs dissing Vic Mignogna at VAADs for his acting like a diva, a jerk or homophobic. But you can easily prove an apple is an apple with well known qualifiers, like whether itsa fruit, is it round, what it looks like on the inside, and whether it came from an apple tree.

Season 3 Episode 1 - Fiona Nova is back to host a special episode of This Just Internet for Black History month, but this time things are a little different. Not something I'm going to bank on being the truth as like the allegations that could be faked. I mean try to throw the blame all around but those VAs did say what they said which is unacceptable behavior. This experience really made him really dislike Christians of any kind. Looking at that now, it probably wasn't a good choice seeing how this would've blown over keeping him or on probation. That year, Mignogna sued his former employer, two women who accused him of inappropriate behavior and the partner of one of the women. And for the inevitable "why didn't they come out sooner argument" that comes up, consider that the repercussions of admitting the fact you've been harassed or made uncomfortable by a man who has more standing than you might be more than intimidating, self esteemruining,and extremely nerve wracking when you have people that will support this man regardless of whether he's guilty or not and are even giving him money for it. Maybe there was some dirty play in there. These guy was very aggressive but just shut up pretty early on. I'm not gonna cover him unless he gets filed papers. At the end of the day, the voice actors do need money to be able to afford to live, and given how little anime productions pay their voice talent, you kinda have to take what you can get. The last thing you can do is for the people wondering ishelping me make this monster of an article either writing passages or fact checking what I say. . @CommanderIn your first post, the way you talk about him sounds like you're familiar, calling him a nice guy and what not. Vic kind of called it that anyone who stood up for him would be attacked. The easiest thing to do is donate to the GoFundMe, but if you can't expend it, please don't as there's plenty of money for the case already. They really could not make him bow down to them or push them around since he was a big named VA and really high up.
