Weeb Wars / AnimeGate / #KickVic / #IStandWithVic / #vickicksback - General Discussion Thread

Dragon Ball's ongoing show is on hiatus. Plenty of time for Vic to fuck Funimation up and basically force them to bring him back. Especially since the impending legal rape, means they can't even redub him for the movie's DVD release because it would be seen as more evidence to Vic's case that he was blood libeled because Sabat and co were pissy Sabat or one of his flunkies didn't get the Broly role.

Yeah, Toei pretty debunked rumors about Super returning (I know, it's IGN):
Oh, look. The ones highlighted spreading that rumor were Geekdom101 and #kickvic knuckledragger Yonkou Productions.

Speaking of Vic's roles, One Piece: Episode of Sabo just came out. Can anyone confirm if Vic's name is on the actual credits?
 
"WE CAN ONLY HOPE SOMEONE COMES FORWARD"

Would have been a good idea to make sure you actually had evidence before you started deliberately breaking the law to destroy a man's career.

Oh that tweet is gonna go over so well in a depositon now isn’t it? “Ms. Marchi can you please explain why you clearly tweeted out on 3/24 how you were hoping that an actual victim might come forward? Did you not claim to be so yourself? Did you not claim to have dozens of first party victims prior to this?can we not safely assume everything you have said has been a lie? By your own public admission?”

I can confirm his name is still in the credits:

why I wondered before about the entire industry burning down. depending on how fucked everything turns out, japan may just decide to abandon dubbing altogether and go subbing only, which would be a bit sad (got a family member into anime but they vastly prefer dubs) but also funny as fuck to watch weebs cry.

This would be terrible. We'd go back to the dark ages of anime not bothering to get releases here, bad dubs, and a ton of innocent VAs - Vic included - being out of a job. At most Funimation is going down, I'd think. Maybe Crunchyroll too. However, I anticipate Funimation will settle.

Incidentally, Funimation settling is the ideal for TFS. It won't drag them down, it will open opportunities for them where other VAs will be vacating spots, and it will make things overall a less hostile working environment dealing with Funi.

This was before he caught the infection, turned on fans about Goblin Slayer and went woke (and broke).

Mostly unrelated, but I hate that GS got the flag of 'if you hate this you must be a SJW'. It's a crappy le edge anime that only has violence, sex, and shock value going for it, and if you like it anyway that's good for you, but you're not SJW if you think it's a dumpster fire of an anime. Rising of the Shield Hero is the anime to point to for that. It's actually really well made, compelling and interesting, and "waaah it has false rape accusations and slavery!" nonsense completely ignores the fact that those subjects get used for titillation or humor in anime all the time and yet no one blinks (See: Konosuba, where the MC is constantly pressured into things by the threat of girls calling him a rapist otherwise, but it's played off as a joke). Comparatively, Shield Hero actually treats those subjects seriously, but virtue signalling dummies choose it to attack instead.

Am I only one to suspect Ren is also a Spacebattler cause her line of "reasoning" is awfully similar to the KickVics over there.

Somehow, it doesn't surprise me that Spacebattles would be full of Kickvic. They're wrong about everything else, why not Vic?

This Renfamous woman is like all those idiots who defended Nixon to the last during Watergate, even after it was obvious to everyone Nixon was guilty.

Guilty of what? Like someone else said, Smollet is a better comparison.

Holy shit, Sonny Strait and Sean Schemmel are faggots.

That video is taken out of context. Apparently they made fun of a bunch of people in it, and Sonny + Vic laughed about it later. Sean was probably serious about it because he's an insecure little weasel, but Sonny seems to have been doing the bare minimum required of him from the kickvic side, and seems to be leaning heavier on the 'istandwithvic' side recently.

If they were smart, they would attend and make their money, they literally shoot themselves in the foot for some brownie points.

Amazin.

It's something amazing to see them light their own money on fire. They're about as relevant as a 'cosplay characters AMA' panel, and will probably be replaced with some 'Saiyans Answer' panel that people will have more fun at anyway. It's only hurting themselves to refuse to go, particularly when they'll probably not even see Vic there.

I'm still placing my bets on Iago being Adam Sheehan, and stuck between whether or not Igor is Shane or Miles Luna.

It'd be interesting if both Iago and Igor are outside the main cast as is currently established. Igor being Shane might make sense if Shane is having doubts and wants to hedge his bets with both sides.

except... no. your just stupid.
TFS operates in the USA. they operate on USA law. unless suddenly japanese has cucked the USA or made them gay, which I've seen literally 0 signs of. USA law is quite clear in that regard. sure, the EU and shit exists, but they're about as effective as picking teeth with a porcupine.

This is what would happen:

Toei tells Youtube 'Teamfourstar is stealing our property on these 200 videos'.

Youtube takes those videos down and suspends the channel from strikes.

TFS disputes this with fair use.

Toei denies the dispute immediately (Funimation isn't there to tell them to stop), because Youtube's fair use dispute system is stupid.

TFS loses their youtube channel.

TFS lacks the funds to even try to sue Toei about this, and so they have no recourse but to try to find an alternative platform for their videos, which has never worked out for them so far, and hope Toei doesn't come after them with CND letters there.

It doesn't matter that the law backs TFS up, Youtube won't, and the team doesn't have the funds to make the law do it.

And the convention can easily say: Lineup subject to change at any time.

Most conventions already say this, because while they might have contracts, con-goers aren't privy to them and things might happen so they could get new guests or lose current ones on short notice. I'd be surprised if Kamehacon doesn't already have it. AFAIK, the reasoning is that you're not paying for the ticket to see the guests, you're paying for entry to the con and everything that happens to be at the con. The guests are just a perk, like the swag they hand out.


Adding another tweet from the Twitter chain, can't remember if this full DM has ever come forward and/or by whom.

Shane has always said Vic isn't guilty of being a sexual predator. He just claims that Vic 'accidentally' does it. He's vague about it, because he presents himself as being a neutral party 'on Vic's side'. If you try to parse what he's saying through all the screaming and chair abuse on the stream with Nick, he claims that Vic isn't intentionally hurting anyone, he's just got 'old fashioned' sensibilities, so he thinks he isn't hurting anyone when he really is. Shane's solution is for Vic to admit to everything but apologize and say 'I did it but I didn't do it with malice' and then vanish for x amount of time before going on his 'comeback tour'.

Basically, Shane wants Vic to follow the normal recipe for these kinds of accusations that never, ever works. At least that's what Shane claims to want. He's obviously kickvic and knows this strategy is career and reputation suicide for Vic, but it's his way of appearing to be on Vic's side while he emotionally manipulates Vic into caving to kickvic.

Yeah, Toei pretty debunked rumors about Super returning (I know, it's IGN):

I'll believe there won't be any more Dragonball anime when the Super manga ends without a replacement and the movies end and it's been a few years with nothing. Also it's important to note that just because 'Super' isn't coming back doesn't mean Dragonball isn't coming back. It'll just be 'Dragonball X-Treme' or something else silly.
 
Geekdom might actually not be as impartial as he's been saying, there's no way he'd give up them funimation and vrv bucks.

I worded it poorly, I meant to say she was like Nixon's white knights in reverse, only in this case she's claiming guilt when it blatantly obvious Vic is innocent.

Our Friends at Kanzenshuu taking the news pretty well. They've thought of a perfect and logical way counter. And completely understand why Kamehacon brought Vic back. Sarcasm

"He's a known sex abuser pedophile," screeches the forumhag linking to animu child porn on Pixiv in her signature. Well ok then.
 
Yea Macross Plus is my number one with Patlabor falling in second. My teenage self thought I was getting a movie with stompy robots, ended up with a Crime Noir/Detective movie with Stompy robots.

Fun fact: Cranston has wholesale disowned his early actor anime dubbing work and has even gone as far as to wish websites like IMDB were nuked off the internet, because it makes it impossible for actors like himself, to bury their early career work that they only took for money and now desperately wish to erase from existence after making it big.
 
My favorite part of those dms with Marchi is that she laments that she couldn't go to the police because of the statute of limitations. Uh okay, so why didn't you go to the police BEFORE it ran out? You couldn't have been too scared of Vic, afterall, because in your own story you boldly told him to get the fuck off you to his face.

To be fair, one of the reasons I got into Goblin Slayer was because his English dub voice actor, Brad Hawkins, was none other than the motion capture artist for the Doom Slayer in the 2016 Doom reboot. I also like Rising of the Shield Hero and KonoSuba.

I never understand that attitude. That early career stuff means you paid your dues. Yeah you laugh about it when you hit the big leagues, but you don’t disavow or bury it like it was gay tranny porn. It humanizes the actor. “We’ve all had some shit jobs. Or did some weird shit to make rent when we were starting out.” Type of thing.

So many of them seem to be openly into lolicon if you look into their account yet they will REEEEE about Vic being a pedophile because some anonymous accusation that a 17 year old snuck into a bar and got hit on
I remember some of Jamie's asspatters when this first went down literally had Loli shit retweeted in their twitter
 
Archive it, motherfucker.

This is crazy. She's saying that she hopes a girl actually did get raped in order to save her ass for lying. Jesus, that's so fucking dark.
