The scary part is that these guys almost got away. Monica mentioned she was on the investigation team and then came the storm of questions people wanting evidence to these claims that suddenly came out of nowhere. Having a questionable morality compass does not add up to sexual harassment. This started to make fans skeptical on what was the truth which people started wanting evidence. Season 2 Episode 298 - With allergy season comes lawsuit season, apparently, and indie developers seem to be the most susceptible. I also find it very interesting Shane wanted another debate with Rekieta right around when the Kameha Con situation was going on. On this week's Off Topic the gang talks about Poopie Unicorns vs. Well Vic wasn't the first target as Todd Haberkorn was accused of hair tugging someone which was proven false (which ironically was used in a number of allegations for Vic) and since that didn't work they moved to the big Dragon Ball star the Dragon Ball VAs seem to absolutely hate. So I decided to make it myself to see how it tasted. Jessie Pridemore - A cosplayer who really needs to learn to shut up as she's in a lawsuit against Todd Haberkorn for having drunken sex with him but accusing it of the r of an ape. The great irony in Vic being his own worst enemy. Nick, not Sean. His lawyer basically admitted in court that Mr Mignogna could not sue for that. It's been virtually impossible to search for his name on Twitter without seeing it. Some of it is good intentions but sometimes it's just to bring up drama instead of perspectives. I feel like there was a gossip circle in which these people talked trash about everyone who wasn't in the circle. That should've been the end of the story that "they fired the guy for being an ass." She is shown to be adept at lying and manipulating people, and is not above insulting and making them as miserable as possible. We don't know. someone is flagged and migth be confirmed as a predator, would you still want him to be one of your big names? Mignogna has continued to appeal to the Texas Supreme Court against these decisions, and most recently did so on November 14th, 2022. As it stands, Rial and Toye have no plans to settle. Two reasons: The Broly movie was done and over and Chris Sabat. He's gaining so much out of this whole situation because people are attacking him. This more likely is them targeting Monica Rial over Ron. The Supreme Court of Texas has denied formerly popular voice actor Vic Mignogna's appeal for his case to be reviewed once more. Ty Beard: One of the owners of the BHBH lawfirm who has worked on many high end businesses and has many, many years of experience leading him and his team to be some of the top lawyers in Texas. I think Rial and Vic had something going on that was more than kissing, but that's not something we'll probably ever find out. Additional Notes: He's called a Boomer for struggling with technology. They fired Vic first for these allegations. Best known for giving Hero Hei a strike on his YouTube channel. The KickVic story is also a bloody trainwreck and straight up doesn't make sense when you think about their actions especially with something recent. Then we've got VAs which really kind of helps clear something up with weird allegations on them. The best source of information on Vic is from Kiwi Farms. It actually isn't illegal to do something like thatbut you do lose all credibility which a number of these people managed to do. Some of it was people asking for it and some people literally got blocked for asking a question. I can't honestly tell with this girl to have any idea. This court case prevents anyone else from being in that position because trust me, someone would have been. But if you want to make my year, it would be for every one of these cons after Kameha Con is highly successful to invite Vic back. Its conclusion is relevant enough to deserve a single post. In stark contrast to her initial appearance, Malty is sinister, deceitful, and a compulsive liar. The lawsuit against Mignogna has been ongoing since 2019, and this is the latest (and possibly final) chapter in the saga that has spanned several years now. He's one of the first round people to be suedI think. He was fired for sexual misconduct. If you hate the guy, fine. I'm sure you have connections with io9 and Polygon to make sure the news is presented in a certain way so fans of written articles will only see that. The more important news is that Ron Toyenow has a lawyer apparently. He'll definitely change how he handles stuff after this. The Black Eyed Peas, stealing Gavin's shorts, RWBY Vol. I definitely know he either told the 13 year old to go kill himself or the mother sex tape comment. Clear editor. I really hope people involved with this trying to make an olive branch are legit sorry they screwed up over this idea they got caught. This man got upset because a 4 year old was paying more attention to another actor than him. And yes, that is tortious interference which is illegal. ORDER. You misinterpret why this is done. Edit: So I looked at the allegations andI feel bad for anyone who was, but they are kind of amusing. Note: This is going to be a LOOOOONG updated post to get everything critical to the story. Ron Toye tried to counter this saying he called him showing a phone number and how he didn't answer. But it supports facts, and gives them solid ground to be facts. ------------------------------------------------------------. Looking at it through this lens, you're not saying the people are lying, but more importantly you aren't condemning anyone for their actions which both movements are slowly getting fogged up on. We know Monica Rial wanted to be around him up until this whole KickVic thing or the Broly movie. I honestly don't know. 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. 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. Or I can PM them, whichever you prefer. Could I tell you the exact things my coworker did that worried me? What is the right thing to do? And I'll say it again, even if only 1 of the alligations actually happened Vic is in boiling hot water. Lawyer vs "Lawyer": Nick Rekieta is a lawyer that if you're an ass to him then he'll be an ass to you which he's done a number of times. Sorry for people who wanted to see a lawsuit. They have been covering all of this information even at the rapid pace it's been coming out but even they can't always keep up with all this news. The judge in the case dismissed the last 5 claims remaining as baseless. 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. I don't think it's popularity but she has shown spite towards his religion., but more likely Rial was the one he was having an affair with and Vic cut it off making her pissed. If any domino was going to be the first to fall for Vic, it would have been Rooster Teeth. We actually just recieved some nice sweet additional evidence for Funimation performing wrongful termination very recently. Rooster Teeth @roosterteeth 9.13M subscribers Subscribe Watch Truck'd Up Now! 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. Nobody actually knows the identity of Nick's sources but I probably could name, Short Round - Known as the arms dealer on Kiwi Farms selling patches to both sides of the conflict. And the moment anyone even questioned or asked (not demanded) those people were declared to be harassing and blocked. 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. Given the creators'- CLAMP- background and body of work heavily involving LGBT themes, this is 99.999% a lie. Numerous reports of fellow VAs dissing Vic Mignogna at VAADs for his acting like a diva, a jerk or homophobic. You're right, it's hard to prove someone is a liarbecause it's more subjective than objective and can apply to a specific situation or be a general trait. Jessie Pridemore most likely was in this circle which talked about there drama. If I were in Funimation's shoes, the last thing I'd want to do is take this to court and settle it beforehand paying whatever compromise possible. Edit: News update! Except Sony. I have seen the actions of the opposite side which my neutral stance was pushed towards Vic's. Once a person is removed from roles, it is pretty easy as the community is quick to label him a sexual predator ON ALLEGATIONS. RT did right by cutting ties. 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. 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". Clownfish TV - If there was one person in the entire situation that was neutral, it would be this guy. So with Funimation letting Vic go over sexual harassment, I'm sure Monica Rial let Rooster Teeth know that Funimation found Vic guilty of sexual harassment and warned them that if they didn't let Vic go, it could end up driving Rooster Teeth into the ground which I think they are struggle a bit with finances. Dear god they were storm you for even stating Nick Rekieta is a lawyer who knows how to do his job. 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. Voice-over actor Vic Mignogna lost his appeal in a defamation suit he filed that has put a spotlight on sexual harassment in the Japanese animation industry. I'm going to put this bluntly.

Also tries to stay in touch with fans by doing Unlock and attending cons who will have him. https://thedaoofdragonball.com/blog/news/fixing-the-staircase-vic-mignogna-sexual-assault-allegations/. Funimation's first investigation on the matter was inconclusive. 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). I think for the Jamie Marchi he was just doing a reenactment of a line or scene. no a lot of change, I know. Refuses to sign non-erotic yaoi involving his characters. These also are people who aren't professional businessmen which are more likely to be persuaded to make not as let's just say smart actions. There is no way they (or I) am a xxxxxist because I have friends and co-workers who are these people!". 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. 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. The case attracted a lot of discourse, including a now legendary twitter thread of lawyers and enthusiasts mostly debating accounts with anime profile pics. If they settle though I will set them back to neutral. 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. Upload or insert images from URL. Rooster Teeth sends a Cease and Desist to a RWBY YouTuber, also claiming to take further legal action if their demands are not met. It's a lot of spoken very hard to credit word vs cold hard evidence and facts taken. The twitter thread you describe here isn't the same one you posted, right? This is what the court cases are about. This shows them no, it does not. Manage all your favorite fandoms in one place! You'd think things would quiet down, but they manage to somehow get worse (or better from an entertainment standpoint). (The moment the Kiwis mistook that pic for Shane was hilarious). Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Looked at it on Amazon.co.jp and you're right. A one-stop shop for all things video games. Many have already moved on, though, as it has been going on for so many years now, and Mignogna has disappeared from the anime industry and convention scene in the meantime. This hatred makes them believe a man is something that he may be not. 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. We'll have to sit back and wait until any of this info goes public. Just imagine trying to ruin someone on your own side's marriage just to discredit people. There's Patreon money to be made by 1:1 adapting those Dirk comics into light novels (after making all the names Japanese). She then made her away into Kameha Con with a guest pass (given to her by an unknown party) trying to make some type of scene around Vic but was caught and thrown out. He pops up from time to time and since I used one of his videos I may as well include him on the list. I don't know if it's finding the moles or what. Stay tuned for more details.

Sexual harassment and, Original Post for those wondering (I don't like deleting stuff: and being surprised that the people who spam that to them get blocked why does that surprise you? 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. Some of the ComicsGate people covered news on it but it didn't take off. Now if you want me to be honest, Ihatepeople using online or news to speak out. Yeah, many of these stories about him are not new. The appeal verdict can be read here. 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. Now we have to separate Funimation's firing with the KickVic. It's naive to not consider he possibly of such a thing. Of course based on the information you know you'd jump to the victims' side because they are the people hurt in this situation. I have one possible way to tell who the liar is by asking this question: One of the testimonies talked about actions that happened, but Vic accounted them differently and additionally added that alcohol was involved. Then Vic gets announced and everyone is excited. DC Douglas I'm pretty sure was the VA who had a catholic father who was abusive to him but don't quote me on that as the VA wasn't named and I can't remember the story perfectly. Hero Hei - A Youtuber who featured mostly RWBY content who started discussing the Vic situation when certain VAs threatened to use their connections to ban people from Twitter for talking about Vic. No, he made a video pretending to be Broly while acting like he dongos little girls except not dongos but a worse word. I'll obviously relay the ruling on that one as well given the two are similar. Probably not. Then there's Marzgurl who I can't quite honestly figure out her motive. Even if all the allegations are false (which I doubt, because that's a lot of smoke for there to be no fire) it doesn't change the fact he already has this stigma attached to his name.

The legal team is going to have quite a bit of work to figure out what pieces to work with and what to throw out and not use. Shane Holmberg - A once con owner who was fired from A-kon (I think he still does one) who pretty much was a nobody until he got the beat down of a lifetime against Nick Rekieta on a livestream which fans of the show have made fun of and joked about him since.
