In January 2019, allegations of sexual misconduct against Mignogna came to a head following the premiere of his film Dragon Ball Super: Broly.

I think he even mentioned sponsoring for something which might've been to have Vic. She is deceptive enough to produce crocodile tears in order to fool people into taking her side.". This is if these situations happened exactly like the women described (we do know that these events did happen since Vic confirmed many of them) and if there is proof in all of them not giving consent. Seriously, someone tell me how Vic will be proven guilty when the most reliable allegations were from liars. Vic really has little to lose and much to gain at this point so we'll likely be seeing a court case. I've found more people talking about him being an ass over the sexual assault stuff.

Casual Otaku - He doesn't cover much in regards to the situation but he has had something similar happen to him. One name that was dropped was Johnny Young Bosch (I probably misspelled that horribly) in a discussion video I listened to. 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.

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. This got people starting to question the truth after RT and Funimation fired Vic. After everything I've seen gone down, I'm willing to put money that this is the narrative. Something I think should be noted is that this happened right after the Broly movie was super successful. 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. It's pretty much been good news since then as a number of cons have added Vic (not so much big Anime cons) and his schedule is starting to look kind of booked. The go-to source for comic and superhero movies. The main thing that muddies this thought process is that the whole sordid affair is scattered betwixt a series of 2,700different political narratives from hard left people who want to drive Vic into the ground, hard right people who're coming out of the woodworks to counter the lefts public siege on Vic and then the chunky legal stuff that people go through long, expensive education to understand properly. "The opposite side" and whatever they have done still doesn't negate the initial problem. In regards to the original allegations, I always said we didnt have any concrete proof, but I wouldnt have been surprised if any of it was true. I wish I could find the video on that but we can confirm the guy did questionable actions to make people feel uncomfortable. Rooster Teeth should be perfectly safe with 0 issues. I don't think that's a bad mindset as I myself at the start of this just figured this was just another sexual harasser into the pile. But let's jump to the present. Both sides have done really stupid things, from va's harassing fans, fans harassing va's and Companies and all that Jazz. RT may have given in and fired over the Twitter stuff, but who knows.

Display as a link instead, (If they did thats a 1st and 5th amendment violation) and that would easily bankrupt the whole convention. I doubt that their Law team would just let Gavin toss 3 coins to see if he stays or goes. They then decided on adding Vic back to the venue. Start a new thread to share your experiences with like-minded people. Even after Ty Beard appeared on Nick Rekieta's stream.

Around the same time, Marchi and Rial, prominent voice actors, came forward separately about disturbing experiences with Mignogna.

Mike Toole - an editor of ANN who is kind of a jackass and a bit creepy. 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). Justdon't.

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.
