I doubt they're that tactful. Probably just overzealous idiots.

I mean let's not pretend there aren't people on ISWV who are so desperate to contribute that they're making something of nothing - particularly on social media.

Both 'sides' equally as susceptible to shooting themselves in the foot, the only difference is that on KV, those people are the actual defendants.
 
Get where you're coming from. As @Pedro Sanchez said it's another log on the hypocrisy fire. Some see it as something bigger like this will lead to Schemmel getting fired, which maybe? Who knows in this day and age. Moralfagging is kept in check around here but Twitter will probably see it's fair share. People are free to do what they want and others are free to disagree.

At least so pretty damn funny audio came out of it which some creative people will most likely put to good use.
With more to come.

Considering that voice clip leak, I'm fucking curious as all hell what nick has for Friday.

He has more audio Thursday. Not sure if anything will happen Friday, although apparently he has more paperwork from Ron's divorces (and whatever else comes up over the next few days).

Random aside. TGreg had that fucking paperwork pretty fucking quick in response to Nick talking about it.

I postulate that that means that TGreg has known that Ron Toye is a serial wife beating piece of shit who threatens to dismember dogs as a punishment, beats his wife in front of his son, and threatened to kill a Judge's children for daring to give his ex wife a restraining order against him. He knew and he sat on that, because distancing himself from Ron Toye would have given the plebs a victory, and he couldn't have that.

lmao, you can't make this shit up

Did we so easily forget that some of the Fun crew worked on the Ghost Stories Dub:


For reference, this is from the early 00's and the crew was told to just go nuts with the dub.

Also, the church girl is Monica Rial. And here is a video of here talking about it from 2011


I personally think the dub is hilarious, but in the light of the Vic case, this is just another piece that paints the culture of anime dubbing as very loose and can breed the sort of behavior that they are so quick to judge Vic against.

EDIT: Thank you Private Pyle for pointing out that ADV did the dub rather than Funimation. Rats.

Quick correction, Ghost Stories was by ADV not Funimation.
 
Shoot! I'll edit the post
Yeah, it’s a fairly easy mistake to make. The Houston and Dallas studios have and still do share a lot of voice talent, so it’s hard to tell at times.

On that note, while people are optimistic in Kelamis and Drummond reprising their roles, the license would probably be handed to a California studio. Canadians don’t dub much anime with the exception of Gintama.

Heh. Well. ADV ain't a thing any more, is it? And Funi absorbed the remainder, right? And Funi might not be around in a few years. lol

That would leave Sentai Filmworks as the only gig in Texas.

Why would they go after a Korean American Voice Actor/Black & Green Power Ranger? He isn't a preachy Christian from what I saw on his insta, he's just a fan favorite VA who makes music?
He has a penis and despite having a penis he’s still popular. Those are crimes against twitter and feminism. He must be canceled. Obviously you need to go check your privilege.

Question is, why would FUNimation keep this shit around? I thought they were an inclusive company who doesn't condone homophobia! It does have some relevance to the lawsuit however, it's just another one of the many examples of the work enviroment at FUNimation.

It sure flys in the face of the "We do not condone any kind of harassment or threatening behavior being directed at anyone. " argument.
 
Speaking of anime publishers, I'd love to find out what the ones besides Funi think of the whole situation. All of them seem to be keeping rather quiet on the whole thing, understandable so they don't get dragged in by either side, but it's almost guaranteed they are keeping up with the case. Such a case can act as a nice case study for those other publisher as to what they should or shouldn't do if they ever find themselves in the same situation.

I could see some of them using this to try and snap up some of Funi's popular licenses should Japan pull them like some people here have theorized they might. Even if popular titles don't get pulled for whatever reason this whole situation might make Japanese studios turn towards less "toxic" English publisher for their future series unless Funi does some spring cleaning. I'm also curious if we might see some poaching of Funi staff, there must still be good hard-workers left in the company, as the state of the company worsens. If I was in such a situation I know I'd be quietly looking into finding work somewhere else in case the suit goes very bad for Funi.

A dump you took in the women's bathroom right you fucking pervert?

Reporting him for ban evasion hasn't done much yet.
