I don’t see how that can happen with Rooster Teeth, considering that not only are they not being sued, but they’ve replaced him, apparently. For Funimation, though, it’s entirely possible. It all really depends on whether the TCPAs get shot down or not. Because it ultimately seems like it’s Monica’s autism that got Funimation to say their piece and get dragged in this lawsuit. If they lose, it’s because of their pet clowns. But, who knows?
Oh really? Well damn, didn’t figure that out, unfortunately.
But dubs in the late 90s and early 2000s did seem to soar, regardless of the subbing company.
I have a theory RT will get dragged into court by Monica when her emails with Matt "What do you mean we need to pay our animators?" Hullum get brought into play.
After all, we've ALL realized that these dumb cucks are quintupling down and making one desperate, last-ditch effort to defame Vic as much as they can before they get buried alive in debt.
When these TCPAs fail- and they most certainly will based on Nick AND Ty both alluding to some very troubling news on FUNimation's behalf that could shit all over their TCPA (and we've seen Monica and Ron's TCPA, so we know it's going right into the nearest shredder) these people might get desperate enough to drag as many people down with them as they can.
We saw it as early as HanLeia- do you really think Monica, Ron, and Jamie won't do the exact same shit?
Depends on if they’re not in Round 2 for Wrongful Termination, because Hullum proved to be even more exceptional than the character he plays on RvB~ I swear that email was the most embarrassing thing of display for someone who is a CEO of a company, been a long time since I’ve seen someone fold quicker than a folding chair in a hurricane because he was dumb enough to not investigate throughly.
Him not controlling McCormick, Brown, and Luna to shut their wang-warmers up to avoid any potential bad PR before he got exposed as the bitch boy he is and the Cuck Level the company reached, had been the perfect storm of shit.
And yes, this even includes surpassing RTX 2019’s Cuck Event where everyone was wearing their best Cuck Panties...Seems Matt, Shannon, and Miles weren’t there in their best panties.
Fucking browser.
Anyone paying attention can see the writing on the wall that Monica Rial was lying. But with the way RT has been this year, the only thing that would get them to change their minds would be if God ripped the sky open, had the angelic host arrayed around them and God himself scream at them with such fury that the tectonic plates buckle under the onslaught. Even then they probably wouldn't change.
RT could get ahead of the mess by hiring Vic back and show they could be decent human beings if they made a fucking effort. So while they aren't being sued it would look better if they hired him back. It's the difference between "We hired him back because we were wrong" and "We hired him back because there was a gun pointed at our head and if we somehow bullet timed our way out that our fans would burn us to the ground."
As for Vic being replaced, that depends on the contract. I don't believe the Funimation contract made any guarantees about USING the audio tracks. Merely that the contractor would be paid for providing them.
So RT could settle because they know it is coming, issue an apology, postpone RWBY for a month while they redub.
Basically they have to sit down and do the calculus of:
1. Fight, risking lawyer fees, at least 1 million plus potential punitive damages all for woke points.
2. Settle with Vic. Pay him damages, the replacement voice actor probably had a 300 dollar pay check. Pay Vic 300. Pay some audio techs overtime to Redub. Total cost =
SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN 1 MILLION DOLLARS.
Matt Hullum not controlling the voice actors is probably more important now because Funimations going to get sodomized with a red hot poker over the "Employee vs Independent Contractor" debate. So the catch 22 is that you hired terrible people that you have no control over but still associate with or you have control over them but are liable for whatever stupid shit they happen to say at any point.
Play stupid word games, win stupid prizes.
