236. I'll just say this bluntly: people are getting fired for these actions. He could very well have been in this seat if #StandUpForVic did nothing. After everything I've seen gone down, I'm willing to put money that this is the narrative. However, in 2019 a series of accusations of sexual harassment made by voice actresses in the anime industry and convention attendees against Mignogna came to a breaking point, causing Funimation, Sony Pictures, and Rooster Teeth to all break their relationships with him. This "conspiracy" (look up the law term) that completely wrecked this guy's life which he could not come back from wasn't enough. so she's basically responsible for every evil thing in the world. More evidence pops up that images were edited to look bad, leaked PMs, and then anyone who supported #StandUpForVic getting their twitter banned. RoosterTeeth recently posted a new job opening for a lawyer, while I don't think this has anything to do with the Vic situation, the timing of this is interesting. I also don't blame Funimation and Rooster Teeth for removing Vic even if it was due to the drama. Around the same time, Marchi and Rial, prominent voice actors, came forward separately about disturbing experiences with Mignogna. Edit: News update! Watch Hero Hei post something about the corruption of American justice within the day. Sony will be fine. @CommanderIn your first post, the way you talk about him sounds like you're familiar, calling him a nice guy and what not. These dates back for a couple years if you're interested. I've found more people talking about him being an ass over the sexual assault stuff. So something I could do is make a full recap of everything that transpired up until the court case in something like a COGA. Look, I know you and others have thrown sexual misconduct into this and that Vic is going to be labeled for this, but law isn't simply there's a law and therefore somebody is going to be punishable for it. The Supreme Court of Texas has the case listed as a "motion for a rehearing to be filed" on January 17, 2023, so we should get more information about the future of the case then. This also happened years ago probably when his ego was the highest so perhaps he had a warped mindset. Funimation - A company who screwed up royally they are easy to target for a lawsuit. It's not like I am advocating these people are burned at the stake. She pulled out of Kameha Con with 4 other people. I swear that whenever you think the news would just stop it just keeps getting better. You don't think Bubba Fest or Kameha Con is not going to send those? On October 28, 2021, the District Court referred the motion and . They then decided on adding Vic back to the venue. @AikofoxIs a man cheating on his girlfriend with a girl who has a boyfriend considered a good person? Watch Shimoneta as that's exactly what's happening to our world right now. This is no joke in 2019. This is not sexual assault stuff or grouping but more of the crazy over the top things. Especially in a place where a lot of people who hate him are going to be around. Japanese women's names often end with "ko" ( - child) so the name Yusagi Aneko does sound like a woman's name. Sexual harassment and misconduct are not umbrella terms invented by some SJWs on tumblr like the internet likes to think, but actual terms that are very well defined and have been gone over in numerous court cases and debates. And having a wife and a daughter wouldn't stop a someone from "fooling around" with girls. These other people are nothing worse to dirty rags compared to the things you did and you've been doing all around it. Vic was a big fixture in the Florida anime con scene in the early 2000s, and there were definitely some uncomfortable situations in hotel hot tubs back in the day. 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. Mignogna has been a well-known English voice in anime for over two decades, starring in popular series including Fullmetal Alchemist and Dragon Ball. Sure Kiwi farms is almost as bad, but at least their information is pretty accurate and reliable. Parts, but I couldn't get a whole narrative. If they settle though I will set them back to neutral. Most of the stuff done it is is for the records and due process and all that jazz. Dude one of his little followers claimed that Roosterteeth would fall for them firing Vic.. nnn he is going to come to my local Planet Comicon soon. Pensacon - infamous con known for making bomb threats against Vic fans if they came to this con. He gave additional details on the matter and I feel his story matches more closely to the truth. Replace "you're a liar" with "This is an apple". If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account. Probably mentally unstable. Unfortunately, it seems he was banned from a few cons for some reason. Just know that it could have been anybody in that seat. I am curious how this case will unfold so I'll probably be posting updates on who is going to be involved and the results of the case. 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. I'm saying they should criticized and/or condemned for it, but condemning someone for working on such an offensive title is not "bizarre". Because I'd be interested to see a screenshot of that thread. I don't think there's a single police report on his actions and since they were so long ago you'd have a hard time really proving it. A loss at the TCPA stage means that Vic is required to pay attorney fees and mandatory sanctions to the defendants. That's for a different thread for a different time. People are seriously trying to fire him for basically being a bit of an ass. Do you honestly think they have a bunch of files with sexual assault complaints on him and studied that when making the decision? He was not suing for wrongful dismissal. I do not think that is happening. Deep Humor - A very, very underrated Youtuber who instead of just covering the news cracks down the facts KickVic uses to justify the removal of Vic such as the 2% of allegations are false story used. I don;t even drink and I feel like I need one anyway. They were also angry at companies like FUNimaiton doing the same thing and he's currently suing them for defamation. There's no concrete evidence that he was sexually harassing people as there are three sides of a story: your side, my side, and the truth. Whether that's a story on one man being cut down unjustly or a triumph over harassers. Do you want me to pull up court cases and new articles about those people? Vic could lose this, but Funimation's reputation is going to be damaged regardless. This is what the court cases are about. It doesn't matter if Vic is innocent or not. A simple Google would have shown the yikes. This more likely is them targeting Monica Rial over Ron. His apology which they wanted wasn't enough. How fitting it'd be Ozpin to screw this up. We don't know why. Don't get into an argument with either side. This hatred makes them believe a man is something that he may be not. More people began to question the truth behind this and most people saw how these people were acting and how they or other people were being treated and formed the #IStandWithVic to support and try to clear his name. If he's inoscent, great. I think the pure irony and why I side with Vic is that he was removed due to harassment yet other VAs are harassing fans of Vic. You're also thinking logically which is the other problem. If any domino was going to be the first to fall for Vic, it would have been Rooster Teeth. People tease the silly logic behind that, -"I'm calling homeland security" - Another Monica post in which she threatened to call homeland security on a Vic fan. There's plenty of plenty of people in the industries I'm interested in I don't like. RT cut all ties with Vic at the start of the year and Vic is suing funimation and a handful of other voice actors, but it has nothing to do with RT. It happened so long ago there was now no proof he didn't do it so he lost. It would not have stopped there. The problem with this is that it skips due process as a means to permanently damage someone EVEN if it's false. I don't know the exact specifications of it, and I don't need to. And now he's going to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. Another thing you can do is DM or email Ty Beard or Nick Rekieta (who passes info to the firm) whenever any of the KickVic side starts harassing people anywhere you see. Anyways, you keep mentioning ANN falsifying evidence (which I can't find any article on and a couple of comments on other websites popping up when I tried to research it mentioning the claims saying it's false are fabricated),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. He did a number of questionable things but I'm not sure how much holds merit since we don't really have physical proof. If you write a passage I will read then credit you right after where you stop. I'm not one to promote said actions, but the reality is that it's a smart logical thing to do since it profits you with no drawbacks. Vic himself admitted to these things but nothing to be labeled as sexual harassment. On Monday, February 25, 2019 at 5:42 PM, Commander said: 1. He's gaining so much out of this whole situation because people are attacking him. It just makes everyone look bad. Give it a few turns of the news cycle and he can probably transition easily into another part of that industry with public rage none the wiser. You guys should have been getting a lawyer to prep a case for this. There's so many good pieces of news during all of this but they end up focusing sometimes on randos like Renfamous. 1). So why on earth are people acting this irrational? Your view of Vic was more than likely skewed. Additional Notes: He wrote a warhammer 40k book and is a black belt in Beard-fu. Update: So the Rekieta stream gave us a small bit of news. This is just one big ugly mess which both sides do kind of blow things off of no evidence. I know people say this is an SJW agenda, but I honestly think it's just the fact they hate the guy. Believed to be a part of Sony according to Rial. Honestly the Valentines day cards are pretty innocent out of context. And if you're wondering if people are still mad at Funimation: People still are. Vic's Lawyer Firm has revealed themselves as Beard Harris Bullock Hughes. I did it. Definitely an easy target due to all the wild things he's done randomly (all in good fun). There are people out there sabotaging Vic's career. 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. 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. Why was Vic Mignonia most likely targeted? If this were a perfect world it'd be that simple, but this had to stem from something and that's where we talk about Funimation. Yes, Vic's VA career will probably be ruined, to be honest I'm not too heartbroken about it. He was fired for sexual misconduct. Rooster Teeth announcementFUNimation cuts tiesSummary of the case so farComments from Chris Sabat and Funimation employeesGoogle Drive with all relevant documentsNew co-counsel picked up9/6/2019 transcriptEntire lawsuit dismissed Primus Member Oct 25, 2017 1,833 Sep 22, 2020 #13,651 KujoJosuke said: I had to google it. Perhaps he sought out counseling and guidance on what actions to take before speaking and and saying something that'd only condemn him more. So then this dude named Sean said Nick invited him on his Youtube show and he rejected which Nick said he was never welcomed. I'm going to turn this in another way. It may not display this or other websites correctly. -Marzgirl did XXX: This is from how so many people blame Marzgirl from all the actions in this "war?" Update 2: The GoFundMe Goal for the VicKicksBack has been reached. What I found would probably blow you away. Original Post for those wondering (I don't like deleting stuff: You know it's bad when I'm siding with a guy who most likely conducted some form of sexual harassment. This is IF the accusations are true. Based in Tokyo, Jack has been writing about Japanese pop culture for six years now, and loves cosplaying any time he gets a chance. When he's not working, Jack is playing PlayStation 5, working on his sci-fi novel at a cafe, or planning his next backpacking trip. 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. Now, aside from the case itself. Just picture the KickVic side doing every possible dirty thing they can do over the Internet and that's all you need to know about these idiots. 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. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. I guess you could say he's playing his cards a bit too carefully saying the right things butthis is the guy who randomly hugged fans without thinking about the consequences. He starred in, exec produced, and edited officially but he put his hand in pretty much every department. I still stand by RT's choice of letting him go. And don't worry, it's believed she is of age. Jamie Marchi probably is just sucking up to Monica Rial tbh given that they're friends and all and I can't tell if she hates Vic or hates Vic because Monica really hates Vic. The response that followed these accusations was swift: Funimation and Rooster Teeth both cut ties with him following investigations, and all but one of the conventions who had originally booked him to be a guest at their convention went ahead and canceled his invitation to their events. I've learned to stop trying to argue since every time there is one it's just a circle. ). 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. Dear god they were storm you for even stating Nick Rekieta is a lawyer who knows how to do his job. Remember how people said "Monty wanted Vic to be Qrow?" The saddest part is that he was willing to let this all go and still hold Ty's law firm back from destroying these people. Kiwi Farms (KF) - The stalkers of the Internet who will dox people to figure out who they are and how they are involved in whatever forum post they make. 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. His lawyer basically admitted in court that Mr Mignogna could not sue for that. By choosing I Accept, you consent to our use of cookies and other tracking technologies.

This just became a bigger and bigger topic and everybody wanted a slice of that sweet, sweet controversy pie. Pasted as rich text. That's the very least. Paste as plain text instead, Many of these VAs could just pop in, turn in their messages and emails, make some apologies and retractions, and be done with it never having any of their dirt exposed.
