God fucking dammit!
I express hating the sentiment finding out that this celebrity you looked up to for years turned out to be a piece of shit!
Darkwing Duck, Pooh and SatAM Robotnik. The list goes on. I'll never hear those voices the same way again!
Disney should seriously do an investigation there!
Edit: And he's right wing too?! WTF?!
Maybe I'm not all that traumatized by this news to the level of everyone else as I've met like a hundred voice actors in person.
They're human beings with flaws just like the rest of us and some of them wind up turning out to be trash. Separate their work and the characters they performed from who they happen to be in real life and treat them accordingly.
Save your hero worship for actual heroes. Or people you know directly who inspire you like a teacher or a family member. Or at least save it for a celebrity who has a track record to back up your admiration beyond playing a fictional character you grew attached to. (And this goes for celebrities in all walks of life... be they musicians, wrestlers, social media superstars or whatever.)
You know what he has coming up at the end of this month for DisneyI believe he also provides the voiceover before Illuminations: Reflections Of Earth at EPCOT.

Man... and I thought I was cynical.There are no heroes. At least not in the way you're thinking of. You can dig up skeletons on literally everyone on this planet. Just depends on how long ago they did it and how good a job they do of hiding it. No one is a pure individual and you're incredibly naive if you think so.

Like I said earlier, don't let Cummings being a shitty person effect your good memories with your mom. I'm in much the same place you are in that regard. But Pooh, like any fictional creation, is more than his creators or actors or artists. Holding those memories dear still doesn't make you a bad person or unsupportive of the victims. Just maybe reconsider buying Christopher Robin if you were, or something, you know?The character of pooh has always been a source of comfort to me since I was very young, many of my earliest memories of who I am and of my mother are connected to this character.
I normally dont feel sad about this kind of news (other than for the victims), but this time I feel personally afflicted and it sucks.
Mmhm, mmhm, that's definitely true. She's the victim in all this, of course.Any loss we feel about memories of the character of Pooh is nothing compared to what his wife evidently went through.
Does suck though, but Pooh's voice is exaggurated enough that finding a sound-alike should be easy.

That's just my thoughts anyway.
Disney probably has 20 people on call who can do the Winnie the Pooh voice.
Someone in the Vic Mignona thread, another voice actor who's been a sex pest. At the time it seemed, to me, like the poster was trying to deflect from the horrible stuff Vic did but maybe they really were lowkey trying to say something bad was going on in ADDITION...
I'm guessing this will be the second voice to be erased from Kingdom Hearts III.It's crazy when you look at all the characters he's voiced.

Really horrible to hear about this, what a piece of crap.
FUCK! Now what that guy said in the Vic thread isn't so out of nowhere, I was afraid of that. :(
If Disney decide to recast him (a tall order considering he's done like hundreds of roles with them, jeez), here's one for Pooh that I actually saw on twitter the other day. This guy is spot on, like holy shit!
I'm just telling him that his 'believe in true heroes' line makes no sense because it's entirely subjective. See my example above. I would think most people would say giving your life for another is the ultimate heroic sacrifice. However it gets much more complicated once you see what the real person was like behind the facade.
What was the first?I'm guessing this will be the second voice to be erased from Kingdom Hearts III.
The voice actor for Olaf in the Japanese dub was the actor Pierre Taki, who was arrested for cocaine use (you might have heard of the game Judge Eyes being removed from sale because of it too).
They have a daughter together and were married. Also this sounds very close to victim blaming.Something about this doesn't make sense to me. If he raped her in 2013, then why in the hell would she have him in her home in Utah in 2015. And why no reports of abuse during the marriage. Usually these cases of abuse have a long history that started during the marriage.
I don't know, but it's not good. I guess Disney will have to find a new voice actor for Winnie the Pooh.
He IS the voice of Pete in many of the character's cartoon appearances. Jim voices dozens of characters over the past 30 to 40 years.

Not a milkshake duck in this case, as he's already been well known for decades now.
One does not disolve the other though ?
If i was stuck in a burning building and i get rescued by a guy i would thank him for saving my life .
If afterward i learned that that man who rescued me is a Prick and racist i wouldn't go " gee, if i had known earlier i wish i'd burn to death then rather be saved by him "
No ,i would still thank that man for saving my life , racist prick or not .
He's also a mainstay in Bethesda games, especially the Elder Scrolls series. If he's guilty of all of this, I bet he'll be replaced in future games from BGS.
