Weeb Wars / AnimeGate / #KickVic / #IStandWithVic / #vickicksback - General Discussion Thread

Shane seems to think he's a part of the cool kids club too. The people who gave affidavits for MoRon/Jamie against Vic are a part of it too. It's why there's such a disconnect between what Erica and Stan say because they are good people who don't buy into the con oligarchy.
I think Erica and Stan seem like good people (so not disputing that) but I think the disconnect is more that they are out of things and no longer give a shit about the scene. If you look at the ANN (freaking ANN of all people) thread I linked, the scene was different 10 years ago. To be fair, this is also society at large, not just anime conventions, but that's what some people are doing.

I'll also note that MANY anime convention runner said (when asked, publicly) whether it was good to invite Vic to a con, that he was a good guest and they had great experiences with him at their convention. In 2013, tangentially related (Vic not named personally) you had con runners bitching about religious prosletization after Sami Harte got em going.
 
It’s baffling to me how nothing has come to challenge ANN for its little corner of the internet. No wonder they’ve lasted this long.

What is their circlejerk? Who’s in it? All I’ve heard is that they’ve been #KV and broadcasting Vic’s supposed L’s because they don’t want to lose their Funimation access.
It's the whole access media thing which you see all over entertainment media. It's hard to replace ANN because they're in deep with Funimation, Crunchyroll, and other licensors which gives them early access to writing articles about that shit. And anything which did replace ANN would inevitably become like ANN, that is, little more than a glorified marketing machine whose employees call themselves journalists instead of marketers. The only way around it would be to somehow be able to receive press releases (and translate them) from Japanese studios and such which means you become their marketing arm.
 
In short, there's always been a conglomerate of individuals who are convention runners or involved in the convention industry that have always felt that their involvement has put them above the general population. They're all buddy buddy with the voice actors, they think they've got some power because of it.

It's why there's such a disconnect between what Erica and Stan say because they are good people who don't buy into the con oligarchy. Above all, they love the people and they loved what they did enough that it didn't go to their heads and taint their ability to rationally make decisions or hold people accountable for their actions.

TL;DR glorified groupies in leadership positions who abuse that power and influence to keep control of the convention scene.
But it's made up of convention runners, long time volunteers, a few consluts and exclusive clubs of cosplayers who go to these cons and win their money prizes each time, people who travel the nation just to meet up with their "friends" and contribute absolutely nothing of value to the convention scene beyond their holier than thou attitudes.

Look at what Manjaw is trying to do. That controlling attitude isn't a new thing, it's just that the people who do it are a little more discreet with who they exclude and how they execute blacklisting people.

Ironically the majority of these cons claim to be nonprofit which is a big ol lie in some cases.

But yeah, Metrocon was one of the cons that was a part of their little bullshit party for a hot minute there. At least when I was actively attending cons (I stopped in 2016 because I'm over it, been attending cons since about 2007 and family who have attended cons as a whole as far back as the 80s and 90s), Metrocon was always one of "those cons" where there was a specific group of volunteers and leadership that were insufferable assholes.

I like the people who attended because of their love for the material and not their love of the status. I remember when I was a kid someone told me that people like those losers act the way they do because they were the bullied nerds and now they've in turn become the bullies.
Helluva post, wish I could give two winner ratings.

Besides their databases being quite useful, I often see them used for news stories from those that either don't know enough Japanese to read the original sources or are too scared to head over to /a/ where a kind anon will translate news as soon as it leaks in between shitposting. Early chapter releases, news of series beginning or ending, announcements of new anime projects, sales, and miscellaneous scandals spread to /a/ fast which don't give people in the know much reason to touch ANN. For places like r/anime I've noticed that ANN gets taken as the "official source" to be trusted even when something has already been announced on places like twitter or japanese news sites. Announcements off twitter are starting to see more use but I find just browsing /a/ a lot better for keeping up to date with anime related things.

Besides the odd answerman I don't thing anyone besides the people on the ANN forums read any of their opinion pieces, most people don't care what these nobodies think and would rather see what their favorite anituber thinks. Anitubers are a whole other pile of cancer, with the vast majority being straight garbage, very rarely do I find any that I actually like to watch.
 
Wow I can feel the hate from this guy. We should dox him jk.

"Yeah alot of cons didn't cancel him because they didn't invite him in the first place"

That makes no sense.

You know these kinda prove that Vic apologizing means nothing to these guyd. The animosity towards him is too strong for forgiveness.

Also found this in February

Dave Merrill has had a hate boner for Christians and Trekkies for years. I remember him on the old AWA forums he would call the convention a "Christ-free con". He also said that he liked AWA because it didn't have trekkies.



Ask Stan Dahlin how he feels about Dave now. They worked AWA for over a decade. When Faisal's wife accused Stan of being creepy, Dave took her side. She has since deleted the facebook post, but Dave said something like "I'm sorry this happened to you" and "You never really know someone".

Here is the post, but I can't find an archive of the comments.

Considering Kara Edwards anything more than a bootlicking toady that Weebstein hired and gave two (barely) famous roles to in DBZ because she gave a good enough blowjob, is a bit much to expect out of that pretentious hoebag who plagiarized from Danganronpa 1.

The cunt knows she's piss easy to replace, and with Weebstein eyeing new girls everyday to play Son Goten or Videl in the franchise, it left Kara Edwards "Free Spirit" (as she put on an email like a uppity bitch) to try and help Monica recapture her days of fame because she's old cottage cheese that's being edged out of the industry due to no longer being in her prime.

Jamie is a elite toady, but she's more useful than Kara ever will be lmao.

wait is that the lady who made a vague post that 100% of the people assumed was about Vic and she never corrected it, UNTIL after Stan Dahlin's affidavit came out and then she went "Oh this post was about Stan not Vic?" . If it is, sounds like that couple is made for each other, because between the 2 they have zero integrity.
 
Math isn’t the only thing she sucks at. Learn to lie better you dumbass.
Hm, according to their website the Apple Lord himself Josh Martin will be there as well. This might prove interesting.
As someone who was at that con, this aged poorly. Apple Cuck pussied out and canceled. Unlike Sonny Straight, Josh Martin had no excuse provided.

So I guess that's it for this arc. It was werid one. I felt like the pacing was to fast, it needed to slow down, and there wasn't any real character development I felt. Ty was a bit over hyped but still a likeable character. Never really got to know Amazons that much, I hope we can see them more next arc. I found that Johnson proved to be a very likable villain even though he's working for a literal shit. Although it was funny seeing lemonie fuck up, come up with new excuses, and show us his incompetents, I wish he could put up more of a fight, be an actual challenger for ty and his team instead of getting lucky and having the judge just give them the win so easily. The two new characters , Martinez and hsu, are great, I think they are fantastic, though I wish they there during tcpa to see if the story could have changed or not. The defendant's stayed true to the character's, being piles of shit. The sides stories were intresting, like R. Greg bankruptcy, still waiting to find out about that, and more info of wife beater ron soye. I do hope the get ride of the non important characters like emmet , manjaw, shane, ect.
The twist of stan and erica is always great, one of my favorite parts.
And the Sharron part at the end through me off, I was not expecting that artical.
She really showed which side she was on until the end. Wonder what other twists we'll get in the next arc.
I think my highlights for this arc were, vic going up and testifying, Martinez taking down lemonhead when he tried to depose slatosh and ty, and the literal dumpster fire that was lemonhead's slideshow.
Its gonna be a while till the appeals arc, hopefully it ends well
Looking back. Yea this was a pretty dumb post
Edit: or maybe it wasn't

I can probably tell you why and it is just a theory. Josh knows Vic would not do anything to him or encourage anything to happen to him, but fans and supprters are completely different. Apple boy knows many of vics fans and the supporters(yes I do classify them differently) were going to be there and he was afraid of confrontation. He is a pussy that knows he has alienated most of his fans too. In fact that is probably what many of the VA's cancelling because of vics appearance are probably truly worried about(just easier to demonize vic for them)

They wouldn’t of done anything. More likely he didn’t want to face the embarrassment when hardly a soul would come see him while the fans will line up and cheer for Vic.

you are right the fans might not. The supporters might however. Probably taking photos of empty lines as you said or up to bringing him an apple.

edit: Let me rephrase that, I think maybe a few of the autistic supporters might think it be funny to mess with him a little outside of taking photos.

I disagree. I don’t think the fans would of stirred anything up. At least not while Vic was there. Take pictures to laugh at him online sure, but I don’t think they’d pull any pranks. They know how Vic would feel about that.

No BT, you're just stupid. While ISWV has some issues, they are in no way a hate group for supporting a man whose life you're precious Monica and Jamie tried to ruin.

He is a bully by his own admission. Remember when he had an alt and went protected because of "mass reports"?

So if the majority says you are a bully, by your own logic, the same way people think Vic is a sexual predator...

You'd be considered a bully and violate Twitter TOS. But keep spinning.

That is fine. I do want to clarify my language though for you and any others reading so that it might make more sense where I am coming from.

I classify this between fan and supporter.

A fan is not only supporting vic through this time, but actually likes him for his work too.

A supporter being someone who is supporting him for the lawsuit or just for the idea of sticking it to the metoo types

So when I insinuated a supporter might be the likely one to do something as simple of giving josh an apple or whatever, I do not mean his fans. His fans do care what he thinks of their actions. Supporters are not as attached to him. If you disagree on a supporter doing something, that is fine. I just wanted to clarify any potential misunderstanding.

I was gonna keep disagreeing but then I remembered autism like that Ruki shit.
