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

[Scarlett Johansson]

Travis, Troy, and Laura are so damn overused and it is annoying. Bailey lacks range yet still gets cast in almost everything.

Is Wendee Lee or Matt Greenfield defending Vic? Mary McGlynn? I imagine that Hilary Haag, Shelley Calene-Black, Christine Auten, and Chris Patton are supporting Monica.

Wendee Lee probably isn’t aware since she barely uses social media anyway.

Wendee Lee probably isn’t aware since she barely uses social media anyway.

Most of ADV's voice actors either don't or barely use the Twitter box, and so have managed to dodge this Autism:

Wendee Lee barely uses Social Media.
Hillary Haag avoids it entirely and lacks a Twitter.
Shelley Calene-Black has one, and has literally never posted anything on it.
Matt Greenfield hasn't talked about it.
Christine Auten avoids social media.
Chris Patton deleted his Twitter entirely last year.

You can add Greg Ayers to that list.

In person he's a really cool guy, but I have zero fucking idea what he thinks of all this. He infrequently uses Twitter.

I've noticed that the more likely someone is to stay the fuck off Twitter, the better a person they are likely to be.

From what I've seen, and I might be wrong here, D.C. Douglas and Neil Kaplan are the only LA actors riding the "#KickVic" train. If any other anime or cartoon VAs out there are in agreement, then they sure aren't showing it.

He's super gay, and probably pretty liberal... but yeah. He's a genuinely nice guy. At least the dealings I've had with him. I could GAS about somebody's politics if it doesn't fuck up their job performance.

I know he thinks some of the female VAs are cunts. I can't recall which ones since I last talked to him in person a decade and a half ago, but he used to dish some pretty good dirt in private con settings. Mostly against the wahman. All you have to do is give him a drink and a cigarette.

He's also probably got better job security because he's gay. They're not gonna be able to #metoo him as effectively. Few people are gonna buy it.

Monica Rial is just some bitch from Houston who voices characters in obscure weebshit. Nobody gives a shit about her except Internet losers.

 

[Iron Tarkus]

Man, this case has really taken some strange turns over the past few days. I'm interested in seeing what happens with these Twitter-poisoned voice actresses. With the comic book industry, it seems like some of the artists and writers have carte blanche to throw little tantrums and sperg at people. Some of the higher ups even seem to like it (e.g. Joe Quesada).
I would think voice actors are likely more expendable, and Funimation seems to have a lower tolerance for controversy (for instance, infamous Twitter sperg Bardock Obama's sponsorship being dropped). But at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if they sit by and hope this all blows over, especially considering the pushback they'd receive from the still blood-crazed Twitter hordes.

Either way, Funimation is the big loser here, and I'm not particularly sad to see them screwed over.

 

[The tired cat]

Further Animegate news. A convention in Florida is threatening anyone that brings up #IStandWithVic to the Funimation actresses with arrest and jail time.

Really, animegate? Well, guess means I can take this whole thing on the same "serious" level as GamerGate or ComicGate.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

This is even more lame than GamerGate ever was. Lololololololololololololololololololololol

 

[Least Concern]

I prefer AniMeToo personally, since it has more to do with so-far-mostly-unsubstantiated accusations of sexual assault and harassment rather than anti-consumer behavior by toxic members of an industry. (Well, mostly. The stuff surrounding Pensacon is feeling very familiar.)

 

[AnOminous]

That guy seems incredibly autistic although the con is acting like a bunch of goddamn babies.

I haven't found any mention of it on McGlynn's twitter or Steve Blum's (they're dating).

He has quite the TDS though...

Really, animegate? Well, guess means I can take this whole thing on the same "serious" level as GamerGate or ComicGate.

These new "-gates" basically just exist because the new generation of clickbait channels has a financial incentive to stretch out politicized nerd drama for as long possible so they can churn out 5 shitty videos a day on it.

Might also be bad optics to cut ties a guy whose big brother (also a Funi VA) is dying of COPD and might not make it to the double-lung transplant.

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

for instance, infamous Twitter sperg Bardock Obama's sponsorship being dropped

I'm curious, what happened here? All I know about Bardock Obama is that he posts memes on social media.

both have retweeted and liked stories supporting the victims.Note that Steve Blum and Vic were supposedly great friends.Then again,so was Monica Rial back in December and then...

Not surprised about DC Douglas. He barely knows Vic and is a heavy virtue signaling type as he probably only jumped on it because he believes that he’d get ostracized if he doesn’t.


DC Douglas talking about politics is pretty much just literally this
