Fuck, this is really disappointing. I've been listening to his voice for probably my whole life. He needs to get the boot.
This second play through of KH3 just got a lot more awkward for me.

If that makes you feel better you can literally skip the pooh world entirely and miss nothing and beat the game.
Man knowing how VAs are usually all super close it makes me wonder if anyone else knew about this. He's been on Rob Paulsons podcast at least once. Rob is a stand up guy, can't imagine other people knowing about this, I hope not anyway otherwise it's just another industry that needs it ass shown.
This sucks, another super talented person who's a fucking asshole. It's not surprising anymore.

I think this is the first time that one of these has felt like a legitimate kick to the gut for me.
I've never been the type to have heroes, but I still had a childhood. Tigger practically represented part of myself as a little kid.
I don't even have words. I'm not sure there's anything in the English language that can describe how revolting it is that someone this morally reprehensible was allowed to touch so many childhoods in so many ways. I feel violated.

Yeah, besides the obvious childhood ruining shit this is, it really sucks the air out of my kingdom hearts playthrough.
I don't associate him with Pooh, Pete, or otherwise. He didn't create those characters, nor did he likely have any influence on the writing of their lines or actions. I'm sad for those that may have suffered due to Jim's choices, but he is not those characters, and I thankfully have never and will never think of him when I see or hear said characters.
As someone who lives down the street from the Magic Kingdom, I can't afford to associate voice actors with the characters they portray these days; it'd eventually ruin the place.

Exactly my thoughts, He didn't think up Bonkers D. Bobcat, or Taz, he didn't draw Monterey Jack or Fat Cat, he didn't animate Zummi Gummi or Catdog, he didn't write the lines of Don Karnage, or Louie, , he just read a script into a mic.
Jim Cummings voices a loooooot of Disney characters and background characters across KH. Not the least prominent of which is Pete.
Don Karnage NOOO!
Seriously, this is disheartening, both the allegations and his politics. Even if the former isn't all true (I kind of doubt it), the latter sucks. Man voiced my childhood favorites and now I find out he's trash? damnit.

Yeah just saw this and Rob Paulsen mentioning it:
VERY confused. This seemed too obviously true, but I guess not!?

He was accused by his ex wife of some heinous shit and apparently won the court case and you care about his tone on social media ? What the fuck
I'm aware those were serious accusations and do always show concern with those involved. Just wondering how genuine he is being there. As mentioned he is claiming that he won the case. I'm just gonna see what follows.
Yeah, despite the ruling, I'm not sure how to feel. Hadn't she won restraining orders/custody rights against him previously?
Regardless, Mods, you may want to update the title. Finale Fireworker.
He's still a hardcore Republican nutcase so even if those accusations aren't true he's still ruined to me.
It also makes me wonder about those animal cruelty accusations as well. That had me just as worried too.
Oh yeah. We know for certain about that.
Meh, not really. Being cleared in a court of law doesn't stop you from being a scumbag. It just means that his case was stronger than his ex-wife's for the matter at hand, because he wasn't on trial for the accusation of having done these things, he was in a custody battle where the question of having done them would impact the outcome, but weighed against his ex-wife's conduct and history too.
My gut was to hear out his wife and I don't regret that but it definitely seems as though there is more to this than what the accusations suggested.
If the court looked at the evidence and went in his favor, then until something else surfaces, I'm glad a conclusion was reached. It doesn't mean Jim doesn't have issues or that he's clear of being an asshole but it may indicate that he's not guilty of the horrific acts that he was accused of.
Rob Paulsen's retweet about the "truth" finally coming out is interesting. Paulsen has a pretty strong reputation for being a good hearted guy and I'm wondering if he and Jim are close or if he knew something.

Nothing pertaining to this case would make me happier than learning that it was all bullshit. I sincerely hope that's the case, but I don't feel it is.
Dumb that he feels that way? Trump and the Republicans are hurting millions of people daily ("the cruelty is the point"), it sucks knowing that someone who's brought so much joy to peoples' lives (even just as the voice of a cartoon bear) is an active cheerleader for that.
He won't get blacklisted or anything but you don't need to be a rapist for someone to think you're trash.
I could legit give a fuck less about Winnie the Pooh, but...dammit! Not the Terror that Flaps in the Night! :/
If you cancelled everyone no matter how shitty you think they might be, than you wouldn't enjoy anything to be honest.
That's not what's happening though. People are free to think less of somebody for ideology or actions that are harmful to society. Nobody's "cancelling" everyone out here.
Wow. And to think that I respected this guy.
That shit along with the allegations have made me change my view of him completely.
I feel the same way.
Restraining orders are easy to get and not a conviction if guilt. People often misconstrue the presence of a restraining order as meaning the person is guilty. Two completely different things
The recent Ducktales episode practically mirrors his life. The hero becoming the villain and replaced by a new generation.
Such a weak defense. There are tons of people that don't act abusively or violently and produce media that we can consume and enjoy. But somehow everyone could be potentially cancelled so we shouldn't call out anyone. Lmao sure dude.
Guess I will post this since this was bumped (and since it doesn't seem a separate thread was made for it).
They both now got hit with restraining orders that (from what I'm reading) are apparently lasting 3 years. Judge also suggested they share legal joint custody with their children, though Jim still retains sole custody as of now.

Jim Cummings response:
What in the actual fuck?!? :`( Parts of my childhood keep getting killed. What an absolute cunty garbage human.
