You see this often from blogs or accounts like The Persistence, in a recent video where three men throw a bottle at him for going through a neighborhood holding a Trump sign. who's acting career was going nowhere fast (Especially in relation to his contemporaries like Troy Baker), while Rooster Teeth is rubbing elbows with Hollywood and SAG-AFTRA now - Both of which have established precedents on not tolerating behavior like Vic's. He'll definitely change how he handles stuff after this. He is a talented man and a bit of a jack-of-all trades performing many roles including writing Christian Songs. this has gotten too far out of hand but I'm sticking to what I sead earlier. Other news consists of a pro Vic con's game room being destroyed (I don't know which one) though that isn't something we can link for this happening. I imagine that will be messy. Vic Mignogna was not fired for cheating on his wife. So the Risemboom Rangers were the ones who started spreading the belief Vic was innocent but most people brushed that off. I'll compile a few things and edit them into this post so OP can add them to the OP. There's thousands of pieces of info to dig through so it's very easy to miss something or even accidentally skip important events or missed any important names. To them he's the worst piece of shit in the world to the point I think some of them wish he killed himself when his career went down the drain. Here's to moving forward, healing, and celebrating anime!" If that's true then we dive into if corrective action was taken and if that was Vic is pretty much going to brutally lose this court case for lying. Mignogna argued that, despite the longstanding rumors, there was some sort of conspiracy among these individuals to eliminate his career. . Vic really has little to lose and much to gain at this point so we'll likely be seeing a court case. Chris Sabat - He's been really quiet but according to insiders he's been messaging and giving orders/blackmailing people to fit his agenda. Some harassing and some who weren't. This is what the court cases are about. If you have a dirty secret, these men will find it and will archive it to make sure you can't try to cover it up. He's struggling through this but still manages to be professional. You can look them up in the link if you want and I shouldn't need to say this but don't message these guys please: https://www.beardandharris.com/index.html. We actually just recieved. I say that not for attention because this thing is long and fact check hell. someone can point me to covering the allegations? It's been virtually impossible to search for his name on Twitter without seeing it. Recent threadmarks Rooster Teeth announcement FUNimation cuts ties Summary of the case so far Comments from Chris Sabat and Funimation employees Google Drive with all relevant documents New co-counsel picked up 9/6/2019 transcript Entire lawsuit dismissed Chris Sabat and Monica Rial bombarded the guy with 3 hours worth of text and an unknown amount of emails with content we don't really know other than a threat of breaking a contract by not attending the con. Mignogna appealed the decision. The movement eventually branched out to include all who wanted due process for the guy due to how the VAs and Marzgurl were acting online. They also succeeded in getting the fees shifted, making Mignogna personally responsible for $223,000 in legal fees.. Bashing on a fellow guest who is a very prominent representative of the gay community and getting upset with fans of his who were also there to see said guest. A loss at the TCPA stage means that Vic is required to pay attorney fees and mandatory sanctions to the defendants. What if I told you that one of the members of the Funimation investigation faked a swatting and blamed Vic fans for it? If you really are giving in and not raising a suspicion in all of this, you should really recheck everything that happens in the story so far.. when I finish it/catch up. Dear god they were storm you for even stating Nick Rekieta is a lawyer who knows how to do his job. Sarah Widenheft - Another Funimation VA whose brother was caught with CP. But let's jump to the present. I've always known he had an ego, I've seen it several times throughout the years, but he was literally sulking and telling off fans who even mentioned this other guest's name. It is NOT to remove all these corrupted and messed up people from the world. Season 3 Episode 1 - Fiona Nova is back to host a special episode of This Just Internet for Black History month, but this time things are a little different. Also, I'd like to point out that the term SJW, unlike sexual harassment as you claimed, has even loosermeaning today than it did a few years ago. Were any of the following happened for any of the victims: groping (or ass grabbing), touching of privates, sexual intercourse without consent, physical injuries? Marzgurl - Originally part of channel awesome and a close friend of Jewwario who was found out to be sexual assaulting people after he committed suicide. Comments from Chris Sabat and Funimation employees. Even if you don't believe it, these allegations so far have been not provably true so he really shouldn't have been removed from all these cons. They get replaced pretty much instantly so nobody cares. Personally, I think it'd be more advantageous for him to be at this con for them as a single scene could wreck him if he's as bad as they make him out to be. The man isn't a saint, and celebrity status should not allow him to be treated as one. This isn't for LGBT people who can see through this shit with ease. Kameha Con - While they will never say it, they believe in due process and were willing to do the right thing even when they really kind of didn't have to taking a risk to invite Vic back and are so happy with the fan support. I do not think that is happening. io9 - They wrote an article which listed some allegations people made against him in an interview writing it in a way to make him look bad as they only included things he said and wrote it in a way to make him look worse as found by the some IStandWithVic members uncovering the full interview. Usually the one considered who started it all since ANN got the idea from her outbursts. A simple Google would have shown the yikes. This got people starting to question the truth after RT and Funimation fired Vic. Far, far from it actually as he'll have to work to recover from this even if it were all false and lieswhich it doesn't seem likely the case. These guys? I'll save that for my theory of what happened. The guy said "Whatever" to that basically and who knows what else they said as by the end of it, the guy is considering never doing Kameha Con ever again. But if you're going to believe some random women on the internet because of numbers, just look at the mirror and ask yourself what the hell you're doing. Evidence is a trail that leads to truths. Additional Notes: Nick Rekieta was so happy that they couldn't find dirt on him and discredit him when asking a lawyer on the matter. Moment of silence for all the grifters/clickbait youtubers profiting off of the outrage and hate. Now they have to find new ways to make a quick buck. I don't care if he's innocent or not, but I have to give him mad respect on how he handled this compared to most others mainly involved in the matter. FUNimation is, IMO, in the same boat here. Mr Mignogna did not take that opportunity to bail, possibly because Nick spent the whole weekend buttering him up. The Texas courts have since denied his appeal three times, and he has been ordered to pay the defendants' legal fees of $238,042.42 USD. I'll admit in a way I always felt uneasy when he did stuffespecially when it involved me a rule follower. He was born August 27, 1962 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Nobody liked him and the Broly movie was done and over so they had no reason to keep him on if people all hated him. This is not illegal to do under normal circumstances, however, we do not know the contracts behind this. So why was Vic a target? Sadly, as they have that policy, there aren't many, if any, recordings, so for those without photographic memories it's impossible to confirm the veracity of such. Obviously those men are not the whole of the USA democratic party or the people who support them, but the comment's you can see followers creating a strawman out of that interaction. This started to make fans skeptical on what was the truth which people started wanting evidence. I don't think firing Vic really hurt Funimation. They also managed to find the real names of the people who made the allegations and oddly enough they lied about these people's occupations as well. I definitely know he either told the 13 year old to go kill himself or the mother sex tape comment. Yeah, I've heard of the sexual harrassment stuff before, my SO has a few friends on one of her social media platforms who have shared stories in the past. At the end of the day, the voice actors do need money to be able to afford to live, and given how little anime productions pay their voice talent, you kinda have to take what you can get. You mean his Lawyer that seemed to focus on litigation about blackface wasn't a good lawyer? This thread has been locked by the moderators of r/roosterteeth. More likely to sue his lawyers given how they handled the case. Upload or insert images from URL. Additional Notes: Until Rekieta joined the fray, he was the KickVic number one target. I can tell you that I wouldn't. Pieces of info began to surface which questioned the credibility of said actions. Some of the ComicsGate people covered news on it but it didn't take off. "I can't be homophobe, I have LGBTQ friends!". The best event that happened is with Nick Rikieta which this guy is getting attacked for blackface (which has been proven false) and the fact that he's Vic's lawyer (this is clearly true as proven by the news above). An ugly twitter war. He sometimes joins Nick Rekieta on streams to discuss info on the court case. Same issue and same situation except this has now blown up. If you want to help, that's good, but if you don't there's more help on it than anyone could've imagined. Funimation, an entertainment company, also conducted an internal investigation and fired Mignogna by early February 2019. I'm not going to hide the fact I thought Vic was a bad person. I don't think that Vic would go after RT as they really had little choice but to let him go since they couldn'treally afford to take a PR hit. That poor, poor dog. The twitter thread you describe here isn't the same one you posted, right? Vic stayed professional through all of this which turned up for the better as he really does have nothing to lose and everything to gain due to this war. ----------------------------------------------------. It's not like I am advocating these people are burned at the stake. I don't think he's the crafty kind of person to plan this all out in his favor using lies that look so much like truths. There's no way this person I barely know could ever do something like this!". They're both criminals in the end. I highly doubt that as I feel like there would be some uncertainty. It's easier to have it all in one place instead of having conversations in the status bar or separate topics. Editing your post works fine, thank you. We don't even have any con names to say which place these happened and the year in which we could contact and ask the con about. Anyways, it's more likely Funimation is hearing all these VAs complain again and again and was finally going "Fine, we'll fire him" over this stuff. I have to ask you something: why the hell would a liar admit to things that could easily be traced and proven like the tickling thing. He's one of the first round people to be suedI think. If you had elaborated on that it becomes difficult to determine the difference between a bit of banter/compliments or harassment, I would have conceded. A prolific anime industry veteran, Mignogna rose to fame with roles like Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist. You guys should have been getting a lawyer to prep a case for this. This is heresay but from what someone who talked to Vic said that they basically hated him. The easiest thing to do is donate to the GoFundMe, but if you can't expend it, please don't as there's plenty of money for the case already. Definitely pre-MeToo movement. He's been covering the news and joining into many discussions on it with other Youtubers. He was not suing for wrongful dismissal. Vic is the one that admitted that. I'm uncomfortable condemning everyone involved with Shield Hero completely because some of the people working on it (the dub at least) are factually good people, and I think condemning someone for doing a voice in a cartoon is a bit much, especially when anime roles pay peanuts so they take what they can get (I mean, Carrie Keranen and Dan Green moonlighted as hentai VAs for a time, lol) but I will say,it's definitely a humongous red flag to be concerned about for those into it. YellowFlash2 - I believe he covered ComicsGate, but a Youtuber who covers Anime news and formerly recognized as the leader of the IStandWithVic movement coming up with the term AnimeGate to address the situation at hand. Beard Harris's targets most likely are Funimation, ANN, Monica Rial, and Chris Sabat. Hanleia made a Tweet complaining about how Vic hates Gays for not signing her Yaoi fanart which blew up and people started talking. I'll at least give you some relief that many of the allegations used tactics in which in a public mass work in favor of people, but are complete garbage and useless in court. Are there any articles etc. Finally to address your first statement. If this were a normal situation, this would've been swept under the rug but because people have been saying and doing actions on twitter. Did it sometimes make me uncomfortable? I believe in standing by victims, but apparently that's only for "SJW sheep". The Vic Mignogna Lawsuit Chronicles There's the theory people threatened to walk away if he wasn't fired but rumor mills are rumor mills. I don't say something like about people pretty much ever. I can't tell you how it will all turn out, but I will tell you it ain't going to be like "Oh these women said that he conducted sexual harassment therefore I charge you with sexual harassment. We've just been waiting for nearly 3 years for the appeals court to issue a verdict. I'm saying they should criticized and/or condemned for it, but condemning someone for working on such an offensive title is not "bizarre". Monica Rial - This well known VA for her many roles often ends up being the one causing the most trouble. I hope he's innocent, but kinda doubt it as even if one of the aligations is true Vic is in boiling hot water. They totally don't have anything against Vic or his huge success and overall fanbase that loves him. Listen to how the wiki describes the accusers personality, Wow and many people on my countrie's "nerd" Discord were praising it.FFS. Sexual harassment and, Original Post for those wondering (I don't like deleting stuff: I'm keeping this not to censor my thoughts but I no longer agree with this stance. -"Hugging is now illegal" - Many allegations were Vic hugging people that made them uncomfortable. Let's see what Jack, Trevor, Blizzb3ar, and Griff think are the the funniest memes of 2023. Vic Mignogna WAS a successful voice actor that was fired from RWBY due to being a real awful person and hurting a lot of people. It'd take a miracle to save those two. I also don't blame Funimation and Rooster Teeth for removing Vic even if it was due to the drama. It would still be their fault for blindly agreeing to do work on something they know nothing about. CommanderFebruary 22, 2019 in General Discussion. I don't want to tell you not to believe women, but I've seen so many dishonest people when accusing someone of something I have a hard time believing anything anymore which is really sad. How? This started the mob as people began fighting for attention or bragging rights which caught the attention of ANN who made an article to direct heat off of them. Now the next important thing was the annoucement Todd Haberkorn is in a lawsuit against Jessie Pridemore accusing him of rape. Very interesting and totally not related. Probably not. Then the Broly movie came and Funimation stopped caring so much after getting the $$$ and made the easier choice to get the boot. Except Sony. Been hearing this stuff about him for yeeeaaaaaars. The goal of IStandWithVic is ultimately to prove Vic's innocence and get him properly back into the industry. P. 45 Subpoena, filed October 26, 2021 (Dkt. People, in the US your employer can fire you for wearing green fucking pants. Mignogna has continued to appeal to the Texas Supreme Court against these decisions, and most recently did so on November 14th, 2022. Possibly some sexual misconducts. That tweet blew up like crazy. Then ANN set off a hit piece about how Vic sexually assaulted underaged girls using pictures of fans who had and enjoyable experience which we find out later that some really bad harassment stuff could be going on behind those pictures. Is Vic back on? And the number of names involved in this conspiracy and witch hunt have begun to grow. Both of them said they felt compelled to speak up after learning they were not the only ones. Something I think should be noted is that this happened right after the Broly movie was super successful. Also did a hilarious parody with Emosh playing the role He Who Slays Sandwhiches. It's actually a common trait for a lot of VAs. Can't say I'm surprised at the allegations ever since I learned about his evangelicalism. You'reright though, that evidence is not facts. so I'm going to finally address this point and say that's there's no evidence that show that those or other testimoniesare false either other than screenshots from literally just one person. They were the ones who made a very falsified article which started giving Vic very, very bad publicity. Sign up for the I don't know why but KickVic really just hates this guy for some reason. I'm just going to break this down and why it's important even though I'm sure most of you are partially aware of the situation but let me just recap what's going on. A lot of people in the Anime community started taking notice when someone (it might've been Sean Schemmel) said they knew people on Twitter and anyone talking about Vic would be banned. That's a blow to anyone's ego. It feels so good to say this. They are working on Vic Mignonia's case with all the other members and appeared on one of Rekieta's livestreams. This isthe kind of conversation that will be best served in a few years, once the case is over, the facts are laid out and untwisted and a clear, supported narrative can be put forward. Follow him on Instagram and send a message if you like his work! The guy is married with a wife and daughter after all, there's really no justifiable reason he should be fooling around with other girls anyway. From what Im aware of through talking to industry peeps a lot of localization work, not just VA but also translation and editing, is often offered vaguely in a we want you on a thing, it has X number of episodes/lines/Japanese characters, well pay you this much sort of way, and they dont know what theyll be working on until after contracts are signed. Believed to be a part of Sony according to Rial. In January 2019, allegations of sexual misconduct against Mignogna came to a head following the premiere of his film Dragon Ball Super: Broly. The best way to put it is that they're loud and eccentric which honestly attracts a lot of people (he had 4 different girlfriends by the time I left that place). This experience really made him really dislike Christians of any kind. He pops up from time to time and since I used one of his videos I may as well include him on the list. "Mr. Wright, would you care to explain to me what this 'Twitter' is?". It was my first con and I actually avoided his panel based on all the getting handsy with underage girls/etc and hitting on them stuff I'd heard from other people. Chris McDonald- The CEO of Anime News Network who is pretty ugly looking and a bit of a jackass. So of course they aren't going to take a chance on something like that and let him go. Never would expect the voice of Vegeta and All Might to act like this. People said some really stupid things and like most companies in the world you should be accountable for those things. Implying it's hard to find new things to bait clicks with. It'll be interesting to see how all of this turns out but I do side with Vic after seeing everything that happened. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. AnimeGate is the term used for the belief that Social Justice Warriors are using their powers to influence media to cater to minorities and neo-feminist beliefs. in Television production. It's highly likely he played the "I'm going to quit if you don't fire him" card which finally pushed Funimation over the edge to let him go. If you had an opinion before and it remained unchanged, good for you. But if someone is going to throw shit at you or Vic, sometimes it's good to poke fun at how silly they are being. PULL is probably the worst culprits of this. I have seen the actions of the opposite side which my neutral stance was pushed towards Vic's. Certain key members have strong ties with the corporations so in which if they threaten to leave the companies may have a bit of financial struggle or meeting their deadlines due to using the discounted recording studio (we'll talk about that guy later). Anime News Network (ANN) - Let's just say this news writing site is sketchy and will do anything to make anyone look bad including Vic in order to avoid heat for what's going on with their journalists. I have been a part of the anime community for 23 years and I love it. They tried something but Funimation said "No, we're keeping Vic." 1). Funimation let Vic go due to the sexual assault allegations making a statement that he was fired for sexual harassment and they do not condone any harassment which #IStandWithVic see right through the hypocrisy. (That figure could be higher because the amount owed to Rial and Toye is being redetermined by the courts. A lot of people in this are just wanting attention in this bad thing. Thinking back on it now, I really can't believe how fucking hard we partied for a bunch of anime nerds. And now he's going to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. someone is flagged and migth be confirmed as a predator, would you still want him to be one of your big names? SUSAN HIGHTOWER UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE . Maybe if you've had arguments multiple times with people about the way you present your argument, it's because there's an actual issue they're responding to thatis present in it and that you should do some introspection. This "conspiracy" (look up the law term) that completely wrecked this guy's life which he could not come back from wasn't enough. It just makes everyone look bad. To put it simply: Vic Mignonia is a well loved and known member of the VA industry performing many iconic roles such as Junpei from Persona 3, Edwin Elrich from Full Metal Alchemist, Qrow from RWBY, Junpei from Persona 3 just to name a few. There is undeniable proof on that matter due to certain people saying certain things. Toy Bounty Hunters - This Youtuber ran conventions for 6 years in which he gives perspectives on this situation from his own standpoint. @CommanderANN isn't gonna get hit, this will most likely bankrupt them. Now let's see on things I do need to respond to on your post. Vic's a D-Lister (F-Lister now?) Additional Notes: Managed to accidentally forget to add Vic's name to all of their content (which can only be done by asking companies like apple to remove it) andbroke their subscription button twice due to "technical difficulties". Paste as plain text instead, Everything you could've done to put a dent in this lawsuit you fucked up. Anyways, I don't think he's going to be brought to court by any of his victims, as there's a precedent of these kinds of claims being dismissed even when you call the police, like stalkingandabuse cases where the victim doesn't end up with life threatening injuries. Gonna be honest, when people get hit with these sort of accusations and keep a level head or stay "professional"it makes me more suspicious of them, not less. Ron Toye began posting stuff to fight back against Nick which he pretty much said it was wrong or misinterpreted (which one of the things was a mistake most people make). Just my advice is when you go after someone, don't bother speaking if you are going to speak Vic's name. Just how? The more important news is that Ron Toyenow has a lawyer apparently. Lord knows what this woman has against him. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. I'm sorry. ). Anyways, I can't tell you if it's true or not. ORDER. I can understand not wanting to be under the IStandWithVic banner, but I can't understand people wanting to side with KickVic. I didn't want to believe it either. If Twitter holds any power in business especially random teens screaming about something, then that industry is doomed. It was not a secret that Vic was a sex pest, and it wasn't a secret that he targeted girls, often underage ones, at conventions. Do you honestly think they have a bunch of files with sexual assault complaints on him and studied that when making the decision? That's honestly what we should all be striving for. Just some food for thought. Its entirely possible the whole lawsuit ends up costing him half a million dollars or more. They also uninvited people that were taking a NEUTRAL stance on the subject (because being neutral still counts as supporting Vic appearently), Not sure if Goku needs to be fired but Samantha Inoue-Harte faked a swatting andMarchiwho wished physical harm and promoted violencetoward him should be fired even if he is guilty. One of the points he makes is that Sony could just walk up and just shut down Funimation because they don't want to deal with this. No, he made a video pretending to be Broly while acting like he dongos little girls except not dongos but a worse word. The production company announced that it has removed Mignogna from the cast of RWBY, Rooster Teeths popular, anime-style web show, as sexual harassment claims against the actor continue to grow. He is no saint. The "Vic Supporters" have been making the argument that Vic's defense and lawsuit have merit behind them. I mean, it wasn't a great case to start, but from what I read it is almost like they wanted to lose for some reason. Action is already being taken and the GoFundMe page already reached half their goal in a couple days. Vic has a fan club that he's a part of called the Risembool Rangers. ", -------------------------------------------------------------------------. Took a look at hero hei's uploads before watching that vid, saw some SJW ATTACK MY HERO kind of crap(among other typical animu degenerate nonsense)and yeah hard pass dude. So I've had several threats and "requests" for my address from quite a few of Vic's defenders on both Facebook and Twitter. Because Sean totally is the expert in the law using them Google searches. You are using an out of date browser. Rooster Teeth has ended its professional relationship with Vic Mignogna, whose voice work on anime like Fullmetal Alchemist and the recent Dragon Ball Super: Broly has won him widespread popularity. I'm kind of shocked to see how few DON'T know it by now.
