From what I noticed, the Vic shpeel all started after the "High Guardian Spice" debacle and because of that, I got a theory that might make some sense.
Hollywood was (and still is) losing their audience, thanks to lackluster films and backwards decisions from making movies for specific groups and using existing brands to do it while belittling and mocking the brand's pre-existing fanbase to making neurotic anti-piracy schemes that pirates (the "whales" of entertainment) cut through like butter.
Safe to say, the expression of that disgust has been recent since Georgia banned abortions as that made Netflix along with AT&T and "Das Maus" say "screw you and your tax breaks, since you're criminalizing the murder of embryos, we're taking our money elsewhere". Guess what the response of Georgia's populous was?
We started to see anime labels get bought up by major studios starting with Amazon buying Sentai Filmworks to make their works available to Amazon through an add-on service (called "Anime Strike", it's now defunct, but it's catalogue is now freely available to all Prime members). This was the cusp for the MPAA members to try to invade anime (except for "Das Maus", they ignored their catalogue of Studio Ghibli's works until they lapsed. Gkids has the almost all of the Mouse's Ghibli library now) by buying or partnering with any boutique anime label or anime licensor they can as of recently.
For the skinny, Hollywood trying to appeal to weaboos in this day and age and the creation of this "fake anime" along with trying to grab control of anime labels is an attempt to get Millennials and "Generation Z" back into consuming Hollywood's crap, which everyone of those generations that isn't in the ivory towers of [corporate journalism outlet here] is telling them to "kick rocks" in record numbers, especially the Georgian residents. In an even more brief summary, "Desperate, your turn".
The way to stop attacks like what happened to Vic Mignogna or the creation of "fake anime" should be obvious to anyone that can bang two rocks together. You can try buying your industrial media secondhand or clearance if you want or need it, otherwise just do without or pirate it.
Also, for good measure, as Pay-TV services can make money for Hollywood studios that operate paid networks (you're usually paying anywhere from $0.10-$4.00 for each channel on offer at your provider, if you're not buying a "premium" cablecaster), it's good to get rid of that and replace it with a Free-To-Air setup (that is if you really need television, anyway), whether it be Satellite or Antenna.
