For the benefit of people not familiar with anime who are wondering what the heck is up with the Fuhrer bit, but haven't cared to to go down the rabbit hole to figure it out:

One of Vic's biggest roles was as the main character of Fullmetal Alchemist. He lives in the fictional country of Amestris and is from the town Resembool, from which Vic's fanclub picked their name. Said country was lead by a character with the title Fuhrer, presumably as an early foreshadowing that he was a villain. The third main male character voiced by Travis Willingham had a goal to become the Fuhrer to start correcting the wrongs of the country and made progress towards that goal or achieved it in all versions of the series.

So with that as the background, apparently years ago there was some sort of rivalry going between Vic's fans and Travis' fan who similarly gave themselves a name which was a reference from FMA. Presumably at some point Vic's fans thought it'd be fun to call him Fuhrer to irk the fans of Travis, as it was Travis' character who became Fuhrer, not Vic's. It's possible they simply called Vic that as yet another FMA reference, but I suspect the rivalry did have something to do with it.
