For those wondering how Vic could stand working in this den of snakes, I have a story to tell. Left vague for several reasons.
A few years ago I was promoted for almost double my original pay. The downside was that I had to change the location I worked at. I went from a liberal community, like one I had grown up in, to a conservative one. My new job had me rubbing elbows with people I did not agree with. But I was the minority, so I kept my mouth shut and got paid.
One day, I let one of my liberal viewpoints slip out. As a result, I suddenly found my coworkers treating me differently, and a couple rumors got back to me. I was being called a bleeding heart liberal, and it made me an isolated target. After that I clammed up, but the rumors still followed me.
Besides that, my coworkers were horn dogs, to put it lightly. If someone with a skirt passed by the building, some would walk outside to watch them walk away. Jobs didn't get done sometimes because one MILF would show up and get chatty, and half the staff dropped what they were doing to drool over her.
I can't say I agreed with this. Sure I enjoy the sight of a hot lady, but I never engaged in the sexual banter some employees threw back and forth. It just wasn't my cup of tea. Plus I had an extremely jealous significant other, and I liked living.
Months later, we were joking around, and I found myself making a few sex jokes to get along with the others. They seemed to like this, and it eased tensions. I adapted to my environment.
Vic adapted to what he saw and dealt with. I have no doubt Funimation was full of sexually charged atmosphere, not to mention the consluts. While his core values stayed more or less the same, I have no doubt he went along with some things to make his coworkers more at ease. Just in this case, the rumor mill eventually took it's toll.
