I mean, there's plenty of great manga written by women that can be enjoyed by both male and female audiences and a lot of those got adapted into anime (I watched Rose of Versailles recently, still holds up). Their interest in the medium is just so shallow that the only shows they're aware of are the ones that are popular on twitter that week, and that seems to mostly be stuff male audiences enjoy. And once they accidentally enjoyed something that's "problematic", of course a grand feminist narrative must be constructed so their egos are protected while they continue to indulge themselves.
And he's 100% right. Free may be full of fanservice but the fact remains that it's not yaoi. That whole list is pathetic and reeks of butthurt.

I mean its true, all fujoshis are fucking attention whores after all, forcing shit even on irl people. dont know how one could possibly consider the truth something negative.
Like I said in my last post, it’s very fanservicey but not explicitly yaoi. Fangirls getting upset only have themselves to blame for jumping to conclusions when none of the characters have been confirmed gay.
I'm sure he doesn't agree with being gay. But from what I've seen I don't think he's some gay hater. And whoever has been spreading these rumors for such a long time, has to have followed him closely enough to know that. Basically, hundreds of hanleias.
looks like Vic himself predicted a few years ago he would eventually be screwed over these stories

Reasons why you should sign this petition to have Vic Mignogna removed from the Free! English dub casting:
1. Vic admits to refusing to sign homoromantic pieces of art depicting characters he’s voiced in this video. Someone pro-LGBTQIA or at least tolerant of homosexuality wouldn’t discriminate between art depicting straight or gay relationships.
2.Vic said: “yaoi fans are desperate for attention.”
3.Vic dodges question about whether he agrees with gay marriage. Apparently gay marriage is only okay if everyone has voted for it.
4.Vic desperately tries to deny that two characters (one which he has voiced) are gay by lying about his ability to speak Japanese. He also assumes gay relationships can only be sexual. Clamp is a Japanese manga-artist group that seeks to normalise gay relationships and TVtropes lists many reasons why Fai/Kurogane can be interpreted as a gay relationship, making comparisons with gay couples within Clamp’s canon.
5. While some gay fans have reported that Vic’s been professional with them, others have been disappointed by Vic’s homophobia. One fan reports that Vic called him and his boyfriend a ‘disappointment from God.'
6. Video of Vic saying he made a Holocaust joke and refused to apologise. Got offended when a fan called him anti-Jewish.
7. Youtube videos of Vic kissing under-age girls without asking how old they are.
8. Video of Vic behaving in a flirtatious/sexual manner toward an under-aged girl. The scene they are acting out is one that originally takes place between two teenagers in Ouran High School Host Club. Vic is a fifty-two-year-old man.
9. Picture of Vic kissing a girl who clearly doesn’t want Vic’s attention.
10. A blog that documents the experiences of anonymous under-aged girls who have been sexually assaulted by Vic and other people’s negative (or sometimes positive) experiences with the voice actor.
11. Another extremely detailed account of Vic groping fan girls and getting into a fight.
12. One of the ex-moderators of Vic’s fan club ‘Risembool’ Rangers said he invited her to his room when she as under-age. She wouldn’t be the first person to say this.
13. Another character description from a person who used to know Vic.
14. A journalist who has friends inside Funimation lists the reasons why Vic is one of the most hated voice actors working for the company.

Interesting how "He won't sign my yaoi fanart" is reason number one. And "Yaoi fans are desperate for attention" is number two. Surely these sexual assault accusations would be number one? Tipping your hand a bit aren't we?
It has a great message of not losing your way. And uh.... butt puns.Kill la Kill had a great plot. Oh yeah, for sure. Great Feminist Message.
Ryuko's 17, btw. Which makes for awkward US viewing...
