Decided just to make a seperate post. Here ya go OP Sibersk Esto
With regards to sexual conduct:
With regards to antisemitism:
- Flirtatiously acting out a scene from an anime he was in with an underaged girl.
- An account of him groping a fan.
- Account of him fondling a 16 year old fan on the butt
- And another of him being very 'handsy', to put it in the author's words, with a 14 year old. There are many more stories like this.
- This pic has been floating around, however I've heard some say the person being kissed by him was an adult at the time and didn't actually mind it, was just surprised. Either way it's worth posting here given how many times I've seen it.
- There are also a number of videos on Youtube of him kissing underage girls without asking, easily located by searching "Vic Mignogna Kissed Me". Even if he asked, would still be creepy given their age, but I think it's important to not the lack of asking.
With regards to homophobia:
With regards to general behavior/how he is seen by coworkers:
- Refuses to sign non-erotic yaoi involving his characters. I will note refusal to sign fanart or unofficial products is something some voice actors choose to do, and if that was the case that'd be fine... but he does and has signed non-homoromantic/homosexual fanart before, including romantic stuff. So something's up here.
- Says that he got confirmation from the author of one of his works that his character is not gay. Given the creators'- CLAMP- background and body of work heavily involving LGBT themes, this is 99.999% a lie.
- In the same breath as above- as seen here- he has implied he believes homosexual relationships are purely lustful, and cannot or do not involve love.
- Dodged the question of if he thinks gay marriages should be legal by saying it should be up to voters.
A couple of twitter threads:
- Numerous reports of fellow VAs dissing Vic Mignogna at VAADs for his acting like a diva, a jerk or homophobic. These panels are meant to be "what happens here, stays here", but given what's been shared outside of them, I believe it's important to share what has been said in them. Sadly, as they have that policy, there aren't many, if any, recordings, so for those without photographic memories it's impossible to confirm the veracity of such. I personally have attended some with such disses, and in particular there was one at Otakon 2014 where one of the younger VAs flat out said he was a creep who invited young girls to his room to "talk about Jesus", along with others hinting at his bad general behavior they can't share due to fear of losing their jobs.
- Numerous reports of con staff not enjoying working with him, to the point some said he was rude to them. One such example here. Just... Acting like a diva, generally acting entitled to things staff doesn't even do for other guests.
- MarzGurl tackling his apology
- A thread with responses that are accounts of him being a sex pest, a homophobe, or a jerk:
Finally, there is a minor hashtag that started to #KickVic, so to speak, which I feel is worth keeping an eye on.
Edit: I will note with the homophobia stuff there is a video of him circulating of him standing up to "GOD HATES F-slur" type protesters at a con, but it's clearly staged and the way he's acting makes him seem like he's trying to get brownie points.
Thank you for this. I've been telling some friends about this since it started exploding last week and am glad to have posts like this and the OP which summarizes Vic's predatory and hateful actions with a lot of links. Especially helpful now that he's put out such a weak statement.
