KV: Vic is homophobic, transphobic, and a pedophile.

Funimation: HEY LOOK THOSE FAGGOT-ASS CLOTHES. Go deeper Gohan! I, Guru, have fucked my son Dende many a time.

KV: Oh come on they're just 18+ panel jokes! WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH VIC?

This was forced into my Google news feed. Guess this is ANN's response to the Funi leaks -- ignore them and agendapost.

Repost that in the ANN thread.

The goalpost moving was not nearly this egregious before; it's in orbit now. With their backs legitimately against a wall their morals are wafer thin things that I am legitimately baffled by seeing the reactions to these recordings.

 

[Jub-Jub]

Remember how Soye stated in his deposition that if anybody was calling him a paedo or rapist he would ignore it? When he was called a wife beater and people had document proof, he didn't ignore it... he went straight to the source and tried to tell his side of the sob story.

for those of us new to veebgate, is there speculation what Rekieta has on the Yost twins's activities?

What he teased last night?

I went back and found it for you. I had the wrong twin.

God, these anituber takes are really exceptional, the replies in this chat

Yeah because it's quite a small jump from joking about cheating on your wife (or even if he really meant it) to homosexual slurs, incest jokes and a full on audio porn.

Of course, I don't know why I'm surprised. These are the same people who made the jump from hugs and dad jokes to rape and being a pedophile.

Also a reminder, these are the same people who defend toriyama and shit on the Dub actors but have flipped the script in this instance to suit their narrative

They're either incredibly fucking stupid or incredibly dishonest or both.

Some of the shit they said was funny. Sabat is pretty talented. Most everyone pointing out these recordings aren't offended, they see a double standard.

These idiots...these absolute idiots...really think that people are trying to compare Vic "totally raping someone" to "Sabat played a character who raped someone." No, you fucking liar morons. Wrong. It shouldn't need explaining. You don't deserve to have it explained to you if you can't already see why it matters.

Can't win with these people. They're too set in their ways. They can't admit defeat in any damn way. They're retards.

FYI
Edit: IGN reached out to Funimation concerning the recordings, to which the company responded: "Funimation has no comment regarding your story."

I left Weeb Wars for a bit to focus on my life. I got the pop up for Rekieta's stream last night and what it started is pretty amusing - That said the argument ISWV side is slowly turning into an obnoxious form of SJW that needs to be nipped now. It's perfectly fine to argue that the things said in the sound booth are not at all consistent with the puritan nature they claim. They are massive hypocrites, for example, for keeping Sean saying Faggot faggot faggot over and over again when these people explode at the mere utterance of the word. Its a great tool to call out their two-faced nature, and how obviously targeted the attacks on Vic are.

NOW with that said. Hero Hei is streaming now and I've seen this all over twitter. "MUH MAKING A JOKE OF YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY"
This is Not at all new.....At all. For those of you that actually bother(ed) to buy official Blu rays from them, they put these in as extras all the time. They will also take the reels to Conventions all the time.

Screaming to daddy Parent company over this, is a low blow and I don't like the precedent it sets. I think there is definitely room for fun and parody as long as it's a DVD extra or something. And this is perfectly acceptable. The people making a big fuss are more interested in destroying Funimation the company - but it doesn't seem like it's at all very focused and sighted. I would hate to see a crackdown on authentic and fun blooper extras that make any purchase more worthwhile - just because some exceptional individuals got their pantsu wound up in their cracks. Funimation is a shitty company - Yes! Tackle it as the company that hates it's fans, not the company that makes parodies on their downtime and may or may not throw them in as DVD extras.

If i've learned anything from the many many MANY mistakes of outrage and cancel culture, it's that companies ALWAYS take the wrong message from these things. What a parent company should take away is "Dont give my content to shady companies who despise their fans" But I know now That they will instead take; "BLOOPER REELS AND PARODY ARE BAD" and kill the fun for everyone. It could also lead to a massive crackdown on the abridging community.

I hope every english speaking licensor loses their licenses. All english speaking parodies are shut down. And that you're all forced to read if you want to watch anime.

They have 'dual-slit' morals; they only exist as goalposts until documented.

Nothing matters to them except being right and having their side win. They'll keep giving themselves more slack until their supposed "gotcha" moment comes.

Didn’t Miyazaki himself say his movies were meant to be watched not read?

I only hate dubs because I was judged for liking some "bad" ones by other dubbies, and this is going way too far.

[Lord Xenu]

i mean i dont know for sure what money the guy does or doesn't make, but to my knowledge he doesn't engage in any of the common ways to monetize internet fame;

>no youtube videos for ad revenue
>no youtube livestreams for superchat money
>no twitch streams for subscription bucks
>no patreon for hipster welfare

the only things i'm aware of are his crowdfunding attempts, one for his cpap machine and one for his texas bar admission.
so yeah, he literally does it for free.

Ton's of people are getting paid to be shills on Social Media for many reasons. They don't care what the cause is if the money is there, and those are exactly the kind of tactics I would expect from a TCPA expert who has yet to publically succeed in the field he supposedly excels in and has no qualifications for outside of his highly "search engine optimized" but rarely cited blog.

Anybody see this doc about Reddit shills? Interesting film, the medium is slightly different, as well as the topics, but as I said before they shill for money, not causes. To be clear, IDK if this is the case, I just wouldn't rule out money being a factor so quickly. People pay money for the right type of SM accounts. It's possible T. Greg DoucheBag sold the account a long time ago, and doesn't have control of it or he's an agent for a PR firm. Who knows?

If he was "informally promised" in an email, or there's a recording of this, or...

Well, Texas supports Oral contracts. Dear god, that would be a bad look for Funimation, though.

They're either incredibly fucking stupid or incredibly dishonest or both.

Can't win with these people. They're too set in their ways. They can't admit defeat in any damn way. They're exceptional individuals.

Just remember, they're just pretending to be retarded. It's a variant of Smugglypuff. "I didn't see nuffin!"

"Here's this incredibly stupid take, I win. hur hur."

You can rage at them, and should, but in the end they know it's bullshit. But it's also performative. They're saying that shit publicly because they think they already won -- Vic's "#stillfired" after all -- and that there's nothing ANYONE can do about it. It's the SJW version of an 8 year old taunting you from behind the playground.


Edit: As a lark, I checked Funimation job postings. Nick said something about it yesterday.

They're mostly in California. That's kinda odd for a Texas based company, isn't it?

Man, if I was working at Funimation in Texas, I'd sure as fuck not be spending any money on anything more than I need.

 

[AnOminous]

The only other real way to combat it is to...start cancelling people yourself. Which, I mean, is an option, but I don't think it's a very good one.

Sometimes the only solution to someone who just keeps hitting you is to hit them back harder until they knock it the fuck off.

Well, Texas supports Oral contracts. Dear god, that would be a bad look for Funimation, though.

Texaco essentially no longer exists because of a case tried by legendary Texas trial lawyer Joe Jamail, Pennzoil v. Texaco, featuring a jury verdict over a contract that was at the time the largest jury verdict in history: $10.53 billion.

The contract in question was an oral contract.

People who say there's no such thing pretty much don't know what they're talking about.

I really don't understand that stupid #stillfired hashtag. It's really stupid, like all hashtags, but like he can always be #rehired y'know? Also what does it matter if he's still fired? It would only make a difference after the case... actually isn't he still doing voicework atm? Or is JoJo 4 done being dubbed now?

Because they want Vic to be unpersoned. Vic isn’t getting work, and to them this lawsuit is his last grasp at relevance before fading into obscurity before offing himself.

He actually couldn't work due to crippling depression after this all hit, not sure if he's gotten back on the horse yet or not. We also don't know if the other studios-- Viz, Sentai, etc -- will hire him, since the second they do they'll be attacked.

But yeah, imagine some little 8 year old scumfuck brat going "Still fired" in a singsong voice while making faces at you. That's literally what KV is doing with that hashtag.

They think they won and all of this, even the lawsuit, is just fire and fury from a dying corpse. Because that's how it's always worked.

They cancel someone, that someone fucks off and dies, they claim the win, wank themselves off with sacred ointment, and pick a new target. Hell, they even had their targets list -- the broken staircase document. They're NPCs, and this is something new, and they have no idea how to respond because they literally haven't been programmed with a reaction to all this.

 

[GeneralMint]

Im not so sure about that anymore. Sounds like more people in the industry are coming around with the new details. He may just get himself a spot with a different company after all.

It's fucking amazing that these people still think that Nick is Vic's lawyer, after all this time.

Into the trash it goes.

Gunn was never fired. They "fired" him, and waited until the heat died down.

Now that the various outrage peddlers know to ignore the Gunn outrage as invalid because it comes from people who, according to their religion, aren't human and thus their outrage doesn't count -- conservatives -- he can come back.

https://archive.fo/UOeN6

Yea, we have to remember that the Fox/Disney merger was happening while the Gunn thing was happening. This seemingly wasn't going to look good on Disney and Iger was reportedly the one angry about Gunn's "jokes".

I had the same opinion for Gunn as I do now for the idiots at Funimation. They made their own beds. Gunn was all too happy to see Roseanne fired by Disney over a tweet. And when that same culture he helped to spread comes back to bite him in the ass, I'm supposed to feel sorry. Nah, fuck him.

It was however funny that people ever thought they were gonna keep him fired. If he ever was at all.

One thing that did come out of that that I loved, though, was Dave Bautista's meltdown and blatant autism.
