And that's why everyone should be watching subs. Dubbing was of dubious quality from the beginning, and now that idiots are changing lines and complete characters (one of the characters in Zombie Land Saga became trans thanks to dubbing changes, there was a little shitshow about that for a while) it's even more not worth it. I used to pay Crunchyroll, I felt it was only fair when they were providing a bunch of series. Then they announced that they were using their money to pay an all-woman group in California to produce some mediocre-looking faux anime, tooted the progressive horn despite many Japanese anime authors being women, and called the people with a problem with that toxic misogynists, etc. Promptly canceled my payment and went back to piracy, yarr.

I find it ironic that Japanese mangaka are more "progressive" than they claim to be lol

I was just pretending to be retarded.

You sure are a master troll, that dislike was also a troll. Totally not mad.

@quickthrowaway He's just doing it for attention, just ignored the sped. So far all I'm seeing is tryhard shitposting,

C'mon Vito, if you're gonna go feature your Megaman figures at least make it the 6-inch NEL, you plebian!

A lady going by the twitter handle HanLeia attempted to get a prominent Anime voice actor by the name of Vic Mignogna to autograph her yaoi fan art involving a character he voice acted. Vic has stated he didn't sign it, because he doesn't sign any noncanon material like that. On January 16, HanLeia made a tweet blasting vic for being a homophobic bigot.

Finally, at long last I now understand why people call Vic a homophobe. For the longest time, weeb reviewers on TGWTG like JesuOtaku would call him a piece of shit in their reviews passingly but never go into detail.

Can we get a rundown of the "Be There" movement? (lack thereof) What was it trying to do? Anime Youtube is mentally retarded, SJW Youtube is non existent. It was a lost fight form the start.

Long story short, it's other VAs saying "Be There" for "survivors", i.e. lying whores. It was created almost directly as response to people pushing back against the sexual harasser Vic narrative.

It spawns from a video by voice actors John Swasey and Brittney Karbowski. It was released on the 19th, as the rumblings that Vic was retaining a law firm was hitting the VA circle. This is also the same day that Ron Toye was trying to get Mignogna into a dm conversation.

It was all likely to try and avoid the negative backlash from vas selling Mignogna down the river and attempt to avoid lawsuits presumably.

Didn't seem to work lol.

With Vic coming out with a dedicated litigation team and the sheer amount of information already out there this is going to be a slaughter.

With how this year has been going so far autism chroniclers 10, 20 years from now will complement quality spergery by saying it looks like the Autism Olympics of 2019.

If you're going to represent people in the court of law, ya gotta have some really thick skin. Otherwise, could you even imagine attorneys dropping clients because the public sends hate for representing such an allegedly terrible person? And we're not talking the "doesn't know personal boundaries"-kind, but the "literally rapes or murders other people"-kind of terrible person.

The overwhelming majority of people have the good sense not to fuck with lawyers. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with the sjw storm.

Rackets has updated the GoFundMe and announced who the legal beneficiary is (i.e.: Vic's lawyer, whose identity had not been released publicly until now).

Update 3
Posted by Nick Rekieta

You may have noticed a change to the Beneficiary on the page and I want to update everyone on what this is and what this means:

We have linked up the GoFundMe account to the Law Firm's IOLTA account. An IOLTA is a trust required by Texas law (and laws of several other states) and the acronym stands for: Interest on Lawyers Trust Accounts (IOLTA).

These accounts are designed to hold money temporarily on behalf of clients and are accounted for separately from the law firm's funds. Any interest earned by these accounts actually gets forwarded to the state to fund legal aid programs.

The beneficiary shift indicates the Senior Partner of the law firm, Ty Beard, who is the named party on the IOLTA trust account. The firm is Beard Harris Bullock Hughes.

With this transition, the money will be moved into the IOLTA account, and billing will be done against this amount. Again, any remainder will be donated to the Salvation Army shelter stated in a previous update.

Please understand that the GoFundMe will remain open and you can continue your support. We still do not know the full scope of the process, which largely depends on the actions of any opposing parties.

Thank you all for your continued support of Vic, and I look forward to updating you as more information becomes public.

Help spread the word!

tl;dr: the funds raised are now going directly into a trust account for Vic. The trust account is being managed by Ty Beard, the senior partner of Vic's legal firm, Beard Harris Bullock Hughes. Vic's legal fees will be paid directly from this trust account, and after all of those legal fees are paid, any excess funds will be donated to the Salvation Army shelter, as Vic has previously said they will be.

The "Harris" in "Beard and Harris" did his undergrad in Religion and got his Juris Doctorate from Southern Methodist. Not only does this firm have a Texas State Senator on the roster, but one of the senior partners will probably view the case as a calling from on high.

So, I did a bit of googling about this law firm and.... well.

The law firm of Beard & Harris was relatively unknown in the Tyler market. The two partners wanted to increase their profile and name awareness. They also wanted to establish their expertise at handling legal issues for both businesses and individuals. Their goal was to position themselves as the go-to firm for any legal matter requiring expertise, confidentiality and a willingness to go to extremes on behalf of their clients.

It's part of their mission statement from an advertising campaign they undertook but "willingness to go to extremes" is right fucking there in their statement. We also know there's likely a semi-religious Texas lawyer on the books which rather cuts down needing to retain further law firms.

I think a very large hammer is about to drop.

One might even say a Texas-sized hammer.

I'm at the point, based on what we know so far, Vic may be guilty of, at MOST, violating some personal space one too many times, which is a concern but not something a career and life need wrecked over.

His accusers, however, seem to be all too aware of this and are stupidly inflating this likely scenario to full on multiple rapes and other salacious nonsense, and in the process are cratering their own credibility to nothing even if it turns out Vic is indeed guilty of more than that, which at this point I'm find increasingly hard to believe.
