- Jennifer Lynn Hunt got into a fight with Martin Bettik, causing more friction in KickVic (Courtesy of @Nontransferable):

She updated her voter registration within the past month. She is now registered to vote in Oregon.

View attachment 1669563

This is an Oregon ballot. She voted for the Green Party candidate for president. Pretend Lawyer Martin Bettik took offense and has been muted. She accused him of mansplaining, told him to fuck off with his vote shaming and is threatening to block him. He told her to do it and said she was acting like Nick Rekieta.

Edit: He said her victim complex makes her seem like a MAGA troll. She said he looks like a 4th grade misogynist CHUD.
Edit 2: He is now mocking her for blocking him.

Apparently, Quinton Flynn's wife is using sock puppets to try discrediting allegations against her husband:

- Known KickVic affiliate Emmett Plant deleted his Discord server. Some of the former members of the server let their feelings known on Twitter. Plant also threatened to launch lawsuits against Jordan Reapers (among others) (Courtesy of @Nontransferable):
In the continuing adventures of discord drama, internet tough guy and autistic man baby Emmett Plant has taken his ball and gone home. He deleted the law twitter & friends discord he created after everyone apparently took issue with something he said.


Mr. Plant has also implied that he will be suing Jordan Reapers (the YouTuber he reportedly filed a DMCA strike against). He tweets, "Guess how this ends." My prediction is that it'll end up the same as all the other lawsuits he has threatened to file against several people for misrepresenting his career producing Star Trek audiobooks and performing in school plays with Pink.

- Voice actor John Michael Tatum tweeted about how COVID affected his ability to make money on the convention circuit:
@HighwayStar made the following post:
Good! I’m happy you lost money this year. I’m glad this pandemic has left you spiritually and emotionally broken, because that’s what you and your loser friends get for showing your true colors last year. COVID was God’s way of punishing you and now it is you who will suffer. You buttered your bed, now sleep on it bitch.

Fortune does smile at the strong and laugh at the weak.
Vic Mignogna responded to @HighwayStar on Twitter:
This has caused supporters and detractors to come out of the woodwork.

The Social Media Front
- Yellow Flash hosted YouTube stream with ThatStarWarsGirl, ThatUmbrellaGuy, Nick Rekieta, Drexel, Cecil (from ComicsGate), and Raging Golden Eagle. They discovered voice actor Sean Schemmel was streaming on Twitch at the same time. Viewers of Yellow Flash's stream raided Schemmel's stream (Courtesy of @OneHandClapping and @I'm not a Robot):
Totally random thing. Saw that Rackets was appearing on YellowFlash's stream, and some of the comments said they ran into Sean Schemmel on Twitch.


Found this bit. Hard to hear what exactly Shemmel said since the panel was talking over him, but it was something to the effect of he had to buy two phones because he was hacked over and over last year for a legal dispute where someone sued their victims. Three guesses who that could be about.

View attachment 1884609

Unfortunately, when I went to Schemmel's twitch page, I couldn't find the stream. Latest stream was from 6 days ago. Watching a little further, it looks like YF got his viewers to raid and troll Schemmel's channel. That's probably the reason why broadcast isn't archived.

As a side note, this is why you don't act like a faggot and troll the cow. They'll DFE, and now I can't find clean audio/video without the peanut gallery. According to Twitch, I was almost an hour late. Welp.

As for Kameha Con, their 2020 convention was postponed to January 2021 for a smaller event, which was also cancelled. They are currently scheduled for July. For those who missed it, Kamaha Con, along with several other conventions, were reportedly sold to a group related to voice actor Eric Vale, so they shouldn't have any issues getting Funimation cast members as guests.

edit: Josh Grelle also accompanied Monica to her alternate signing event after withdrawing from Kamaha Con.

I hope Vic isn't being taken advantage of by con artists. This person opened an Indiegogo in November asking for $8,000. The "flexible goal" allows campaign owners to cash out at whatever amount they take in.

On the event page for the convention, he is selling tickets for a "draw". That's probably not legal. You can win either a mini console, a free wine or beer making course, or a weekend of gaming. 5 will go to help support a local charity, and 5 will go to Vic Migongna gofundme?

I blacked out their current mailing address and the new owners because I'm not interested in posting that (just that it did sell). This is part of public record on Dallas county's website and didn't require any payment or registration to retrieve.

UPDATE: Now the press is involved:
UPDATE (03/30/2021) (Courtesy of @OneHandClapping):
SacAnime issued a statement

TLDR: The clinic wouldn't have been opened those days, and they had already relocated shots, anyway

View attachment 2043117
We are saddened by the article that the Sacramento Bee ran yesterday morning about our Swap Meet this coming weekend, without reaching out for input from us, the Placer County Health Department or the Placer County Fairgrounds. This initial article is what other media locally have picked up and run. Our Swap Meet has been planned since October 2020, and has been publicly announced since then. We worked with the Placer County Health Department, and Placer County Fairgrounds to run this Swap Meet safely and within parameters, as we did last September and October at the same Event Center. We offered to work with the Placer County Health Department so that they could continue their vaccinations, but they had already been aware of the closure and had made adjustments accordingly, extending their hours this Monday-Wednesday instead.

Even if the Swap Meet was postponed now, the Placer County Health Department has already allocated any vaccines that they would have distributed on Thursday & Friday to their extended hours Monday to Wednesday, they have informed us.

We encourage you to read the statements included below from both the Placer County Health Department and Placer County Fairgrounds, both sent to Fox 40 today who reached out to all parties involved.


Placer County Health Department – “The clinic will be closed April 1-2. We’ve known that the Grounds had a prior commitment on those dates for some time, and so we were able to plan ahead and extend our clinic hours from Monday through Wednesday to compensate and continue to maximize our volume. The majority of appointments this week are second rather than first doses (about 4800 second, 550 first). Folks getting their second dose can schedule it up to four days before their second dose eligibility date (per CDC), and for weeks afterward, so we don’t anticipate any issues or impacts to needed appointments. We will be tearing down our setup (chairs, tables, other equipment) and will return after the building is cleared.”
Placer Valley Fairgrounds- “The Placer County-operated COVID-19 vaccine clinic located @The Grounds will extend hours and operate 9:30 a.m. to 5:30p.m. today (Monday, March 29) through Wednesday (March 31) in order to accommodate residents seeking their first or second shot of the vaccination.
The clinic – which has already distributed more than 50,000 vaccinations and helped Placer County reach the highest vaccination rate in the Sacramento region – will not operate Thursday (April 1) and Friday (April 2) because of an event that had been planned @The Grounds since mid-2020. Placer County health officials knew about the scheduled event and added three hours per day to vaccinate residents today through Wednesday, and had already planned to be closed Thursday and Friday.
The county-run COVID vaccination clinic is typically closed on weekends. The clinic will resume vaccinations 9 a.m. Monday, April 5.
Last Thursday (March 25), Governor Gavin Newsom announced individuals at least 50 years old would be eligible to make an appointment starting Thursday, April 1. Those at least 16 years are eligible to make an appointment to be vaccinated starting April 15.
We are extremely happy and proud to serve the community with the ongoing vaccination clinic, and play a major role in combating the spread of COVID,” said Charlie Gardner, General Manager of @The Grounds, formerly the Placer County Fairgrounds. “We’ve adjusted the clinic schedule to help accommodate those seeking vaccinations, while also meeting a long-standing agreement with an event organizer.”
SacAnime, a swap meet between vendors and anime fans, will be held Friday through Saturday @The Grounds. SacAnime, like all events @The Grounds during the pandemic, will follow health and safety protocols, including limiting attendance and requiring face masks.
The Roebbelen Center located @The Grounds – able to accommodate as many as 12 full-length basketball courts or 24 volleyball courts – opened in February 2020. The 160,000-square-foot building was designed to attract major sports competitions, large meetings, trade shows, concerts and other events to the region. But five weeks after the grand-opening celebration of the building, the state-ordered lockdown went into place to prevent the spread of COVID.
Soon after, @The Grounds and the Robbelen Center in partnership with Placer County Health and Human Services Department started meeting the most critical demands of the community, first as a COVID testing site – and more recently as the largest vaccine clinic in Placer County.
“It just reinforces how important @The Grounds is to our community,” said David Attaway, Chief Executive Officer of Placer Valley Tourism and @The Grounds. “In a crisis, it has truly filled a need.””

Also in the interests of accuracy, while Sabat and Liebrecht (they misspelled his name) are definitely Funimation, as far as I know Christina Kelly and Molly Searcy are mostly or wholly Sentai. The only Funimation show I can think of that had Kelly in it was Boogiepop And Others, where she was a secondary character.
