It's not even just people at Funimation. Fans and convention workers have all said he's a creep too.

[up] That’s another thing.

Apparently these allegations have been going on for over 20 years from all over, not just one place.

You don’t just get a rep like that by doing nothing.

Its not the entire company. Just like a few voice actors (Monica, Jamie, Sean and Chris being the biggest four named so far).

But yeah, that is part of the reason I haven't embraced the idea behind the conspiracy. Vic probably still did something to warrant this.

Regardless, plain truth is: waaaaay too much smoke for there not to be a fire here.

Even without the allegations, i have heard Vic is a huge egocentric dickhead with his peers.

That's where some conspiracy theories start. They believe others were tired of his shit and so they started accussing him of being a creep

That's majorly fucked up if that's true; if he's a dick, fine but to go so far to ruin his name is crossing a line.

But, we shall see where the truth lies.

Indeed, its time to go back on topic.

It's obvious from his convention photos that he's a massive creep who disrespected the boundaries of underaged girls and he had publicly acknowledged this without changing his behaviour. There's no conspiracy here, Funi should have terminated him on that alone.

Careful you might get someone saying those photos were either doctored & taken with consent at the time.

In light of Vic's return to KamehaCon, Monica Rial, Jason Douglas, and Daman Mills (Bulma, Beerus, and Frieza understudy respectively) are cancelling their appearances in that same convention.

And yes, it sounds fishy that they'd let him back in after this fall of grace. Apparently, there's something in a contract that permits Vic entry no matter what, but it's still stupid.

Speaking of stupid, why would anyone assume there's a conspiracy to throw Vic under the bus? I REALLY doubt Monica and Jamie Marchi could make up those gross Vic experiences for some ulterior motive.

Vic's a creep. Get over it.

[up][up] I'd be very surprised if there wasn't some 'we reserve the right to uninvite guests for any reason's clause. In fact, that's what they did last year with Kelamis and his only crime was being a VA for Goku that wasn't Schemmel.

[up][up] Yea, but they re-invited him back after people made enough noise as in this situation. Yes, the situations are entirely different, but its not the first time Kamehacon have cancelled and re-invited guest.

That said, yea the timing here is especially bad.

I'm sure it's mostly because of pressure from Vic's lawyer; otherwise the other VA's wouldn't be able to cancel so easily.

Oh man... I googled Rial to check what she'd said on twitter really: cancelling and most of the top results were clickbait You Tube videos that just from their titles/thumbnails had completely slanted against her ("YOU FANS ARE DANGEROUS!!" nnnnnnnnno she said she was concerned for her safety at a convention with Vic at it).

She's getting harassed pretty badly on twitter, too. Lots of people saying she'll be sued, or she must not be attending because she was banned, or this is proof that she was making things up.

Going by Douglas & Mills canceling their appearances alongside Rial, the rest of the DB cast really are against Vic.

While the only people on Vic’s side are a bunch of loonytunes saying they are fans.

The sad part is that you have some people just caught in the middle here; this whole situation is leaving a bad taste on the American Anime community as a whole, and it's going to spark more Sub vs. Dub debates as well.

[up] It should be noted, it's mainly the Texas VA community (where Funimation is based) that are outright against him; with the exception of D.C. Douglass, none of LA have said anything and seem neutral on the matter.

So a lot of people are also saying Mills and Douglas are going to be sued for breaching their contract - which just seems fucking stupid, do they not realize that cancellations happen and the V As would know what is in their contract?

Apparently Kamehacon has also denied artists uncomfortable with their decisions refunds according to this artist who has a booth there.

https://mobile.twitter.com/CheeseCakeChik/status/1109784042990391298

Tried to pull from the con but apparently they won’t give the 400 bucks spent on that booth.

So it really is just about the money to them.
