I'm not here to condemn anyone who sides against Vic. Even after Ty Beard appeared on Nick Rekieta's stream. RT may have given in and fired over the Twitter stuff, but who knows.

Was a former officer for the Ocean City Police Department in Tampa, Florida, Vice-President & Co-owner of Reel Adventures Productions. 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. He was Christian and couldn't be influenced by all of this corruption around him. Listen to how the wiki describes the accusers personality, Wow and many people on my countrie's "nerd" Discord were praising it.FFS. Here's to moving forward, healing, and celebrating anime!" Normally, people go into silence and don't say anything, but this system is slow and these people figured this whole thing was a stunt and went back to this whole war. I also find it very interesting Shane wanted another debate with Rekieta right around when the Kameha Con situation was going on. I don't doubt they won't turn and ruin someone else to save their own butt. Maybe not all of them but many making claims in public probably should have those cons be shut down. Of course he called during their off hours. Start a new thread to share your experiences with like-minded people. He and the others try to cover the news daily as it unfolds. 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. No its fine because he was Edward tho., Years ago in 2008 I attended my first ever anime con dressed as Fai Flourite, a character Vic played in the dub (I did not know this then, the anime was notoriously bad and I only read the manga). Since the initial allegations and court case, Mignogna has continued to defend himself online, and has even crowdfunded some of his legal costs by fans supporting him. 9, our middle school AMVs, and more . I've seen the leaked private messages though. Do you honestly think they have a bunch of files with sexual assault complaints on him and studied that when making the decision? When the hell did Fantasy genre anime get so rapey? 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. so she's basically responsible for every evil thing in the world. 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. PULL is probably the worst culprits of this. A lot of people in this are just wanting attention in this bad thing. Best known for calling people who question ANN's credibility as Nazis. The only other people (besides Pridemore but she's a special snowflake) were coworkers of his. But here's the neutral stance of the Vic Mignonia situation: I have no idea if this man did these acts or not. A corporate investigation isn't an actual investigation, its more like people in a room discussing what the potential scenarios and consequencesand selecting the best option. In large part because Mignogna's legal team were absolute clown shoes. Nothing much happens to anyone and we move on. This is where the allegations come from. Really not a smart move on Vic's part if this whole io9 thing is true. Iwas explicitly explaininghow you arguments are misleading and attempting to downplay the whole debacle,and how it's disingenuous to say thethings you did like how sexual harassment is a loose term. Mignogna claimed his innocence in the face of these charges, and pursued legal action against Funimation, Monica Rial, and Jamie Marchi (both starring in Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt) along with Rial's fianc, for defamation, tortious interference, and civil conspiracy. This is a very understandable mindset and a very human nature thing to think. I don't say something like about people pretty much ever. I'm going to turn this in another way. Plenty of innocent people have had their careers destroyed simply by people lying. I worked with him on a web series and hes one of the most egotistical people Ive met. I'll admit, I'm not quite as invested in the whole vic shebang as a lot of fans as I personally don't hold VAs in a particularly high regard, as I don't to celebrities in general. MarzGirl was caught lying. These could be false. Definitely an easy target due to all the wild things he's done randomly (all in good fun). One of the more level headed people covering this. 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. I'm not gonna cover him unless he gets filed papers. I don't think firing Vic really hurt Funimation. He lives with his two rescued street cats, Nezuko and Chachamaru. He does send proceeds from both sides to the Vic GoFundMe. I do not believe Shane did these acts nor should we assume so. I understand enjoying his work, I do. I do understand and see why people would be uncomfortable around him though. Some of the ComicsGate people covered news on it but it didn't take off. And sometimes you get information like this: People have managed to get his criminal record. They are using evidence to prove that people did what they did to make you view Vic a certain way. This is one of the most corrupted journalist sites that covers this stuff. And here's the real killer. Vic reminds me almost exactly what an old coworker of mine was like. Interesting enough, Monica Rial attended this con though I don't think that's enough to assume a connection between the two. Gonna be honest, this really isn't an AnimeGate, but we are quite possibly seeing something rather interesting. This experience really made him really dislike Christians of any kind. The Supreme Court of Texas has denied formerly popular voice actor Vic Mignogna's appeal for his case to be reviewed once more. Somebody. @AikofoxIs a man cheating on his girlfriend with a girl who has a boyfriend considered a good person? Though I find it troublingis that you're siding with vic not because of his actions or the effect they had on those he acted on/against, but because you don't like what some of the people against him are doing? Adding to the fact that Vic Mignognia is an easy target as he really often doesn't fight back, there's no way any of these people have any other agenda other than helping prevent him from sexually assaulting more fans for their so believable and provable statements. It'll be interesting to see how all of this turns out but I do side with Vic after seeing everything that happened. Several anime conventions also canceled Mignogna's appearances. Mr Mignogna did not take that opportunity to bail, possibly because Nick spent the whole weekend buttering him up. He has one of the most chilled sounding voices. Personally, I hope the damages are minimal and Vic at least has a career to go back to as it certainly won't be with Rooster Teeth or Funimation. Basically, this pic of Nick Rekieta dressed up as his friend (which his friend even talked about before) got Nick called a Black Face Lawyer and they just kept riding that train after they couldn't prove he wasn't a lawyer. Basically Sean calls Nick a coward and then Nick basically says to come onto a stream with him. 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. Around the same time, Marchi and Rial, prominent voice actors, came forward separately about disturbing experiences with Mignogna. Mignogna appealed the decision. She was the one who came up with the popular hashtag and is known for Tweeting and spreading random allegations people posted despite never having a sexual assault story of her own. 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. Now people are in the same quicksand they put Vic in all because they just couldn't shut up and avoid that sweet, sweet attention and gain. This more likely is them targeting Monica Rial over Ron. How, how are they going to win? Additional Notes: He wrote a warhammer 40k book and is a black belt in Beard-fu. We do have some odd evidence that did come up against Vic if the evidence holds true: Take it with a grain of salt because there's a bunch of conditions that have to be met for this to be true, but it would mean Vic was lying. The window of opportunity to act on these is out the window as he put it. Even if the worst of the allegations were false and Vic was just a perv who made people uncomfortable, only a fucking idiot thinks you can sue someone for firing you over that. thats why there were no court charges when they let him go. Then Vic is fired from a bunch of cons and Funimation and RT all very quickly to one another. RT did right by cutting ties. This is not illegal to do under normal circumstances, however, we do not know the contracts behind this. Pensacon better pray they don't have enough money to go after them or they'regoing to get destroyed. Honestly the Valentines day cards are pretty innocent out of context. I do want to see some of these sources from fans that provide proof of bias in these accusations, if you have any links, as they certainly help clear the point you're trying to make. Probably mentally unstable. Let's take this in a normal situation if Vic sexually assaulted people: Vic would be fired from these companies and maybe a con or two would drop him but nobody would be communicating with each other about it. Vic Magnogna is a long time VA who has performed many famous roles with his two most recent notable ones being Broly from DBS and Qrow from Ruby. And fornoneany of you who are wanted to unsubscribe who were subscribed to Funimation's whatever it's called subscription, their unsubscribe button should be working. I think the true irony here is that Funimation was willing to let Vic go due to the course of unprofessional actions, but we are seeing others doing very unprofessional actions which they as well should be accountable for. He starred in, exec produced, and edited officially but he put his hand in pretty much every department. someone can point me to covering the allegations?

So then this dude named Sean said Nick invited him on his Youtube show and he rejected which Nick said he was never welcomed. Of course theres still the possibility of appealing, but he has no more of a realistic chance of winning that than he did the case. Amid a three-year legal battle, Mignogna has slowly returned to the industry. The man isn't a saint, and celebrity status should not allow him to be treated as one. More evidence pops up, Pensacon threatens to arrest any #StandUpForVic supporters who visit the con, a fake swatting post from someone on the Funimation investigation, VAs saying stupid things they'll regret later, and then a lawyer/youtuber creates a GoFundMe to set Vic up for a lawsuit.

Let's just see how far this train will roll. "I wanted to thank all of you for your love and support. These pieces of shit drove the narrative so gullible fans would believe it and then spread it like a wildfire to convince the less gullible people to believe it. I think Todd is suing simply due to her spreading this around and it affecting his work ethic (which he also had a false allegation with hair pulling earlier). This started to make fans skeptical on what was the truth which people started wanting evidence. A lawsuit is probably going to happen and trust me, it's not going to be a pretty thing for anyone involved, Vic included. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. But by the following month, Rooster Teeth, a production company, cut ties with Mignogna and removed him from the cast of RWBY, an anime-style web show.

No idea ifANN is even going to exist due to the fees they'll pay. She didn't go into graphic detail at the time, and just sort of wandered off, but that moment stuck with me like a thorn and I've steered clear of him since. Like, a decade ago at least. Utilizing Texas' anti-SLAPP law, the defendants got the lawsuit tossed. Implying it's hard to find new things to bait clicks with. 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. I gave Cosby and Weinstein a chance and when the truth looked very apparent, of course I assumed they were guilty of it afterwards. On April 18th, the lawsuits have been filed which are against the following parties: Funimation, Monica Rial, Jamie Marchi, and Ron Toye. There is nothing on the table to confirm any of these are true. Because I am a bigger more well known user my word is more credible and has more worth and that there are only two outcomes for this statement, mind is true. The more important news is that Ron Toyenow has a lawyer apparently. I'm so completely and utterly flabbergasted by your initial statement and how incorrect it is my eyes actually glazed over as I actually tried to comprehend your thought process. Dude one of his little followers claimed that Roosterteeth would fall for them firing Vic.. This also happened years ago probably when his ego was the highest so perhaps he had a warped mindset. @CommanderIn your first post, the way you talk about him sounds like you're familiar, calling him a nice guy and what not. We have enough on the table to speculate and create judgement. For that, he should naturally be taken out of the workplace he made toxic and learn to not do whatever he did. You know what, I'm in a good mood. Some of it is good intentions but sometimes it's just to bring up drama instead of perspectives. Funimation will be paying legal fees, but they should be fine since they didn't exactly saying anything wrong (still should fire whoever made the funimation tweets). It would be reasonable to say that I have lied at some point in my life, as I'm only human, but whether I'm a dishonest person is up to debate. It a level of intellectual dishonesty I just can't resonate with in a civildiscussion.

I personally have attended some with such disses. We want to create an inspiring environment for our members and have defined a set of guidelines. This is not sexual assault stuff or grouping but more of the crazy over the top things. Parts, but I couldn't get a whole narrative. Very interesting and totally not related.
