I was open to the possibility Vic might've done something, but I ultimately didn't care because I wasn't a fan, personally. I liked his roles and such, but I wasn't and still am not a squealing fangirl. I've met his fangirls in the past, and that's why I had remained hesitant in watching FMA for years, for one thing, and why I wasn't so concerned over the allegations. But something felt off about it, especially when they kept saying they "wanted to stay in the industry" because "Vic had so much power in the industry", which made no sense to me. And then I started questioning Funimation in wondering why they didn't fire Vic in the past if they
knew all along he was a problem at conventions, and that's when holes in the narrative began appearing. Once stuff about what was going on with
Hazukiri at ANN and the like came out, that's when it got more and more obvious this was just another set-up to get someone canceled in the industry for no reason other than because he was in the way.
In the way of
what, though? Why was it
such a problem for him to get promoted as an ADR director? It wasn't like he was going to play favorites, he was literally friends with everyone by then and he would've known the right roles for the right people.
Nothing was going to change with him in the director's seat. What the fuck were they so afraid of?
Well joke's on them. By firing Vic and then virtue signaling all over the fucking place, their dirty laundry has been aired out for all to see, and there's more secrets to be had that'll be coming out in the future one way or the other. Oh, and Sony overseeing them now means a tighter leash on their antics. Had they just kept him, no one would've been the wiser.
Useful idiots, the lot of them.
