Another Funimation VA is facing The Cancelling™ right now: David Trosko. He was in My Hero Academia, Black Clover and Tokyo Ghoul, according to his twitter profile (which he has locked, probably due to harrassment).

His crime? Nothing metoo related this time. It's the fact that he made harmless jokes about China's involvement in the coof crisis, him being christian and his support for Trump (and being conservative in general) that got some people very angry. They got even angrier when he refused to apologize.
Here's a long thread by an angry sped. There are more posts, but this thread sums it all up quite well.
After watching Dave's tiktoks, I think he seems genuinely sweet.
Some more tweets. They want him to lose his job. They're tweeting directly at Funimation (and posting about him in unrelated tweets by Funimation).

It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds from here. I don't think Funimation would be dumb enough to make a public post about Dave, accusing him of racism and cutting all ties. Not after what happened with Vic. On the other hand, if there's one thing I learned during Weeb Wars, it's that Funimation will absolutely do insanely dumb shit and throw the majority of their viewerbase under the bus if it appeases a tiny percentage of woke crybullies. I also wonder if we'll see other Funimation actors throw Dave under the bus like they did with Vic.
Anyway, I wish Dave the best. We might want to keep a close eye on this. Also on Dave's roles. Will he get replaced?
