Hmm...
WOW. Although this makes me wonder. Poor Vic clearly thinks it's an accident...but we know not everyone in Funimation is onboard the kickvic train. What if the person who sent this email to Vic did it by 'accident', but felt he needed to give that information to Vic so he knew.
Anyway, a few more notes and thoughts on the Vic timeline write up:
People have been shipping Vic and Caitlin Glass
hard since like 2003. Him hooking up with Michele did not stop them, though there were lots of people who supported and liked his relationship with her, too.
Not one single person whatsoever made a single comment to imply they were on the Monica/Vic cruiseliner. Granted, I haven't checked Monica's timeline - and don't want to - but for Vic returns, only one person ever so much as mentioned her in relation to him, and it was that cryptic comment about him doing something bad to her once. This is fairly important, because a big part of Monica's story is that he would constantly grab her hair and whisper things into her ear in front of people. If you're not into that kind of scene, I'll briefly explain - this is basically baiting the fans into thinking they're in a romantic relationship of some kind, or at least intimately close as friends. This is why Monica 'couldn't make a fuss'.
If Vic were constantly behaving intimately with Monica in front of fans, they
would have picked up on it, and they
would have started shipping it. No, they wouldn't care about his fiancee. Lack of photographs and stories about it aside, the fandom reaction to it happening is also completely missing.
Moving on from that...
Any story alleging his clout or influence being too great/intimidating before 2006 is lying.
Any story alleging he could control things because he was just so influential before 2008/09 is almost certainly lying. He did win an award in 2007, but the internet only started treating him like something important in 2008.
FMA Fantasy was nothing more than fans getting him to cosplay with them, so any 'props' from it would literally be nothing more than cosplay props. Nothing special.
Anyone alleging in their story that Vic had a reputation for being a predator before 2010 (more likely 2012) is lying. Anyone alleging that he had a reputation for being a diva before 06 is lying, and anything claiming he had a reputation for raging, being violent, drunk, or some other horrible behavior like that pre-2010 is also lying.
Before the yaoi thing, and even continuing on past that, people were ALWAYS butt chapped over his religion.
