digging in always works...

off topic, but I love the fuck out of this band.

Holy shit, I've never come across anyone in the wild who's even heard of Deathstars.

Also, you don't seem to get that these crazy fujoshi have ALWAYS been like this (since 2010, anyway).

They've been this way since the 90s, though the nuttiness can be kind of traced back to Kirk/Spock shippers in the late 60s and early 70s, some of whom would go utterly mental if you didn't mindlessly accept that Kirk was going down on Spock's ridged rose petal peengina.

Lack of internet limited their reach and influence, though, so they couldn't organise the same pervasive, career-destroying campaigns.

Whoah, that shit was goin' on way back then? The horror.

Regardless of outcome, there will still be companies that take him on as a VA. That's not really in question, because there are plenty more countries on the planet than just the USA.

What will change is the way Vic approaches inter-personal relationships, and business relationships.

Imagine spending 20 years of your life doing something that seems perfectly acceptable, and everyone encourages you and acts like everything is perfectly normal.

Then one day, you wake up and everything you did was suddenly wrong. Without any lead-up, without any reason, everything that you knew was just terribly wrong and everyone who loved and supported you were the ones leading the charge against you.

That fundamentally changes a person.

I don't disagree, and I find that sad. I can hope that at least he will eventually trust people as his friends again, because his real friends (Glass, Huber, etc) are still with him, not every single person turned on him, and for his sake and his fan's sake he'll be able to hug his fans again, but he's definitely been changed for the worse. Where he once trusted fans and congoers enough to date them, be engaged to them, and be interested in casual hook-ups, at the very least I think there'll be a barrier there now where it'll be hard to really get close to him. His naive idea that they were all equals and could be treated as such is no doubt shattered at the very least. I know this is nowhere near the same level, of course, but I've seen it happen with Youtubers like Markiplier and such as well, who started out with a small audience and treated everyone as equal human beings until they got burned for it and had to put up walls after.

I may not have phrased it right. I meant 'after Vic's death', not Fujo being fujo.

Its true. Both the terms 'slash' and 'mary sue' date back to the 1960s fanfiction community.

Ty will probably be able to talk Vic into what needs to be done. And Vic has a steel core to have lasted this long.

Or Chupp will give Vic all the money because Chupp never wants to deal with anything like this again.

One day at a time folks.

Vic is a fighter and will be remembered as such.

Just some tweets from Twitter. Terez and Dominique continue to be exceptional





Emosh tried the 'being respectful and nice' approach



Worked about as well as you would expect





Of course this is entirely new to me. I mean, KillVic doesn't act childish now do they? Must be a sock account or something. Gosh they're just so desperate for relevance.

Speaking of need for relelvance



There's an option to unfollow these people or block them, options to mute words on twitter, mark things as irrelevant on both YouTube and Twitter so you don't see them again and a whole slew of other things you could do to avoid this 'vic stuff'.

Not only Dummy Skye tried to anger Emosh, she even pissed off his woman. Dummy Skye, DO NOT EVER PISS OFF EMOSH'S WOMAN.

Rooster Teeth

roosterteeth.com

Nearly 3800 comments from what appears to be the same five people after a certain point.

Also no one has defended hanleia quoting a source with brain damage yet.

There might be some lolcows to mine from this. Kenai_Spartan seems like one.

I realise I'm REALLY late at replying to this but I went back and watched that clip and I almost died laughing. Thank you very much for that @JosephTX !

I think you're more than paying it back with the Con Stories on Twitter. These are great.

I'm not very familiar with this scene, but my limited knowledge of people and events so far really makes Con Story #3 tickle my brain. Am I perhaps reading into it more than I should be?

I’m just wondering what kind of apple juice we’re talking about here.

 

[Lone MacReady]

Regarding whether or not Vic will have the stones to pursue punishment for all those who betrayed him...

I seriously hope that his nutting up and naming of names in his deposition outs the fact that he has accepted the end goal of going after these snakes who wanted him dead - if nothing else, then to protect future men from this same insanity with eventual court precedence. Funi has been dirty in this from the start, they don't get off punishment free.

What an idiot. And this is the guy who Nick wants to meet in person

Alan Rawls looks like he has Fragile X. Which I would never hold against someone UNLESS they were an asshole. That stupid ass grin on his face and his retarded hot takes convince me he may have a few damaged chromosomes.

These people are ugly. It seems to me they just want to see people losing and suffering rather than those poor victims getting justice. You never hear them talking about the defendants, they only go on and on about how Vic is going to lose, how he's a predator, how Ty is incompetent, how Rekieta is a grifter. They don't give a single shit if any actual sexual assault did occur. In fact I'm sure they'd be gleeful to have a single cunt hair of it proven just so they can dunk on Vic. Just think about that. They're fucking reprobates and I love how often they get made fun of.

I’d say it’s more him accepting he’s got nothing to lose. Hell, in his deposition he wasn’t meek when being grilled by the Mosquito Man. I honestly think we won’t get his thought processes of things unless it’s either forced out of him or he goes on Nick’s show. Hell, lots of the big moves on his end have this aura of him just going “Fuck it. Sure, Why not?”.

DAMN EriMin brings in the good stories, especially that last one. So maybe Erimin didn't want to be placed with the 'guest' after this event, which I'd understand, if someone angrily yelled at me (for whatever reason) I would prefer not to be assigned to him later, especially if I'm volunteering my time.
But damn, that AV nerd sounds like an asshole fedora atheist. If this is the level of unprofessionalism you see, only the hard work of people like EriMin must have kept those conventions functioning.

 

[gamer2014]

Probably been brought up , but some of these VAs (ginyu) showing their support for rial/marchi are doing so just to get in good with sabat.

 

[Allanon]

Not too hard to guess who that guest was, but also a very good example of how said guest's 'diva' behavior comes in response to bad experiences with the con/staff, not just out of nowhere.

I had a thought, I wonder how many of them are playing double agent as well, like getting on their good side to get info to pass off to Nick and Ty, like with Nick saying if Monica were find out who his sources where she'd pretty much breakdown and cry

That last one would only be more obvious if she said the guest was wearing super gay pants.

I wonder how often shitty staff members at conventions would deliberately do things to fuck with Vic and then use his reaction to claim he's an asshole diva.

Really makes you think how many cons had rude staff who purposefully tried to run him off, had Vic decide "Not going back there, screw it" and then tell people "Oh, we totally banned him" when they're the ones blacklisted and it's because they were purposefully dickish to him.
