Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
So I was wondering if this would be brought up...
Yeah, this kind of thing doesn't convince these shitheads because they immediately write off anonymous sources. These folks get angry when people don't name their sources when talking about video games, because they think protecting your sources means you're making it up, so they're surely not going to believe it when they're invested in something like this. They have no idea how reporting works.
Of course, we all know that if names were named they'd just try to discredit and harass them anyway. But that's their excuse.
It's definitely both. All the people talking about how he's "a good guy deep down" and "he must be hurting so much right now :(" as if they know him personally are incredibly creepy.
That's pretty common in any scandal where the perpetrator has a cult-like following, be it a celebrity, politician, or business executive. It's weaponized disbelief.
JFC!!!!!!
yeah, looking at the guest list. Monica and Sabat are scheduled to be there. :(

I can easily imagine causing a shitstorm over this, but I feel it is important to voice this opinion.
If he's guilty, I hope he gets the fucking noose. If he's innocent, then I hope that he can put this behind him and find work soon. But consider this - if the only difference between the noose and being able to continue to work for a living is objectivity, then I think it is wise to wait and see what the courts have to say about it as opposed to relying solely on anecdotal evidence.

Not to mention numerous pics and video evidence.
Don't even respond to this troll, guys. Account was created yesterday. Report and move on.
Let's just ignore the dozens of accounts, AND FUCKING PICTURES AND VIDEOS, that portray Vic as exactly who his victims claim he is. Like literally LITERALLY we have pictures of Vic kissing 14 year old girls on the neck and we still have assholes being like "oh well you know let's wait until the full story is told"
Fucking hell man.
No kidding. I find it highly unlikely the bomb threat has any credibility, but it is still a shame that people like this exist who apparently desire nothing more than to remove what separates us from goddamn animals.
Pensacon has been quite vocal about protecting Monica. It's admirable. They need to be forthright as Monica's first convention since this shit storm started. Here is their statement if you wish to read it.
Was Vic scheduled to be there before this all went down? I know a bunch of places cancelled his showings. Someone had a list of events previously.
Doesn't look like it. He was supposed to be at Kami-Con this weekend.

Wow those comments are all completely awful.
I have to wonder, when #metoo began, where these same people defending Harvey Weinstein? Cause it really feels like it would be the same people.
I don't know for sure if they're acting on it, but there were definitely a ton of people declaring #MeToo a fake witch hunt.
I looked the guy up and he is listed with the Minnesota Bar.
BUT his law firm website is a patreon, he practices "lawsplaining" on YouTube, and he's a general racist, holier than thou asshole on Twitter.
In other words, a TV lawyer with no proof that he's actually corresponding with Vic, or that Vic has actually lawyered up at all, has organized a campaign based on his word alone, and people are buying it.
(also the phrasing he used on that platform allows him to take the money should Vic decline the donation or not pursue legal action)
Sounds like something the Minnesota Office of Lawyers Responsibility would like to know. Unfortunately it looks like they only accept mailed complaints.

Form and instructions:

It would probably be most meaningful if the person who sent it in was actually wronged by the guy (even if it's something as simple as being trolled on Twitter).

...So essentially, like I thought, a literal alt-right grifter, especially considering the parenthesized. Amazing. These people really are idiots.
No employer is obligated to employ a specific person, and there's a giant giant difference between whether Vic gets work as a voice actor anytime soon and whether he is, uh, executed, which for some reason you put on the table as the only alternative.
I heard about the lawyer "development", but knew there was something fishy. Insane.
Jesus, I thought only Matsuri was left (due to the operators being rapists). But there's several more still... WTF?!
Matsuri is the only Anime Convention left. There are still comic cons Vic is schedule to appear.
Yes, Vic is still scheduled to appear at three comic cons. I wonder if any of the cons will withdraw their invitations to Vic.
Absolutely no self awareness.
When saying: "Hey please don't harass people!" is a controversial statement.
ANN just posted an article about the swatting incident

Edit: Nope I'm an idiot. Unknown person did it.

"Inoue-Harte claims that she received a phone call from a fake phone number that said she was SWATed, she drove to the rental home, and found the door damaged. She then contacted police. "
aka apparently she got a call, went and checked it out, found damage and called the police.
no actual swatting seems to have happened but instead someone called her using a fake phone number and either that same person or someone else kicked in her door.
Yeah realized my mistake. Still fucked. It means someone got her actual address and not only that but lived close enough to go there and kick open the door and bust it themselves. That would make me fucking scared.
And there it is.
I can already see holes trying to be poked in it due to Adam's statement of her being unwell, but, you know, there's a police report. I can't imagine it'd have been filed if the police thought she did it herself.
Guessing the mystery caller also mentioned #standwithVic, which would've been unusual with a regular police call. Fuckfaces actually breaking into the homes of VAs.
Been lurking in the thread and just watching each new depressing development between Vic's "supporters" is just... what the fuck? Between his fuckin' wack statements (I had to reread his statement on consent on the last page several times before it registered and slowly slid into a facepalm) and the fervor it seems swaths of folks are going to "defend" him, and even attacking DBZ's mainstay VA's just makes my fucking brain hurt. I really, really hope we see something resembling justice for all the victims in this train wreck.
Uhh, what recourse is he seeking? His reputation is so thoroughly known (and fucked) in the industry, nobody's *ever* going to want to work with him again. If he's expecting compensation from suing Funimation/other VAs, I *highly* doubt that's happening. Skeevy and pathetic as hell.
There's really nothing you can do to change these shitheads' minds. They're not interested in anything actually going on in reality. They don't even actually care about Vic, or the series, or the anything. They're there for one reason and one reason only - to be assholes and attack anyone who isn't an alt-right piece of trash like them and in this case it's to attack women.
They're losers who you can never, ever win over with any kind of dialog. The only reasonable thing you can do is tell them to fuck off, shut the fuck up, and shut them down. No engagement, just dismissal. Never play their game.

Apparently he'll be suing Funimation? Or Monica? Nothing really concrete at this point.
What a twist regarding the Samantha story -- so it wasn't swatting, but it wasn't a made-up story, either.
It never ends.

It's all so weird and nebulous that I highly suspect that if they manage to raise all the money we'll never hear about anything happening and the people involved will just disappear along with the money.
Could he seriously be planning to sue Funi? The reports they have of his treatment of women working for them would get him laughed out of court surely? Although... is there any chance this could open the door for him to see criminal charges brought against him somehow?
I'm just glad it wasn't faked... but I'm actually even more worried about the safety of the people being harassed now if these maniacs are actually capable of breaking into their homes.

This piece of shit is seriously going to try and drag his victims through the legal mud?
Just when you think he couldn't possibly get worse.
