Of course why would Funimation give a shit about a voice actor whose most relevant role is a character that screams a lot and doesn't have much besides thatSome of the more fascinating conspiracy theories I've seen about this pop up recently is that somehow the kickvic movement is begging Vic not to sue. Also that kickvic is being paid by Funimation and that it's a giant coordinated effort between Funimation and the community... because that's somehow more believable than Vic being a serial harasser.
First they said that it was because Broly was so successful and people were jealous, now it's that Funimation wanted him out for some reason? Oh, and also Monica Rial got him fired and took all his jobs... all 3(?) VA jobs and the non-existent directing/management positions he held.I'm not su

It's just a carnival of stupid mostly being perpetuated by the alt-right/gamergate/comicsgate/incel crowd that swooped in and the actual Vic defenders that are still there are falling for it.
Both of those predate the Alt Right, by quite a lot. Using that as proof is a stretch and more

I always raise an eyebrow when I see someone use "begone thot". That's when you know.Even if a person using the word "thot" isn't alt-right, they're still someone who uses the word "thot". That says a lot about them in itself.
"Cuck" is an abbreviation of a word that's a couple hundreds of years old, and it's probably most popular with people who want to regress a couple hundred years.
Thot is an alt-right term? I've seen it used by distinctly not alt-right people on twitter, so I assumed it was just a slang term for women.
I mean, yeah, but again, slang can make that it an acceptable term in context, the same way people can refer to themselves or others as bitches or fuckboys or ho's without being truly insulting."Thot" is short for "that ho over there" (I've also seen "thirsty ho over there" more recently). "Ho" is short for "whore".
If you call someone a thot, you're calling them a whore.
I mean, yeah, but again, slang can make that it an acceptable term in context, the same way people can refer to themselves or others as bitches or fuckboys or ho's without being truly insulting.
Also, if that's what it's abbreviation for, I take issue with the grammar of "Begone Thirsty Ho Over There"

Also, if that's what it's abbreviation for, I take issue with the grammar of "Begone Thirsty Ho Over There". If she's already "over there" then she is away from you, so why are you telling her to begone further?
I know, I was just being facetious.It's more a colloquialism than an abbreviation. It's become its own word, which, as Thammy said, basically just means "whore".
I know, I was just being facetious.
But yeah, if it is an alt-right term, then it's being co-opted by normal people, since I see it used by others.
Thot isn't an alt-right term as much as it's a term that assholes use.
So naturally, a lot of overlap.
Or people who just use slang. Like the entire reason I brought it up was because I have LGBT girl friends on twitter who call each other/ themselves/ certain sexy cosplays they make etc that. And having them lumped in with Alt right is bleehhhh.Yeah, that's kind of the thing here. The alt-right may be the loudest about it, but that's just because they're organized. They don't have a monopoly on misogyny (or on racism, or antisemitism, and all those other nasty things).

Funny enough, when I first saw it (namely the "begone thot" meme), I saw it used as a reaction to having intrusive thoughts, a problem people with ocd and anxiety like me have. Later I found out the meaning and was disappointed :/

Weird enough? I thought that too, as someone with intrusive thoughts.Funny enough, when I first saw it (namely the "begone thot" meme), I saw it used as a reaction to having intrusive thoughts, a problem people with ocd and anxiety like me have. Later I found out the meaning and was disappointed :/
I'd say you'd never believe the amount of people defending this and saying it's okay, but...
Can we at least all agree that Thot Patrol is a funny username
It's not the first time the alt right has appropriated slang. They saw the term "based", which describes someone who's very chill and doesn't let small things bother them, and misinterpreted it to just mean someone who's awesome.Thot is an alt-right term? I've seen it used by distinctly not alt-right people on twitter, so I assumed it was just a slang term for women.
Wait wtf based as a term for awesome has been in GAF/ERA for a long ass time.It's not the first time the alt right has appropriated slang.

Go back to GamerGate and that's when it first started spreading in the geekosphere. It was part of a package of language for them to group themselves around. Since then it's just been normalized as a severely cringey geek term.Wait wtf based as a term for awesome has been in GAF/ERA for a long ass time.
You're telling me it's an alt right term now?
Based as an adjective was popularized by Lil B, and thot is Chicago slang. Why is it that black slang ends up being turned into alt right crap multiple times?Go back to GamerGate and that's when it first started spreading in the geekosphere.

Thot entered (and left) the teenage white girl lexicon several years ago. Black slang filters through them before being misinterpreted and picked up by awkward guys.Based as an adjective was popularized by Lil B, and thot is Chicago slang.

Umm, don't you think that maybe nobody is coming out to defend him because they're scared of being harassed by these scary #KickVic peopleI've only been halfway following this story (I mainly just pop in here every couple days to see if there's any new developments), but out of curiosity, I decided to search Vic's name on YouTube.
Nothing but conspiracy shit. Jesus. Is it really so hard to believe dude just might be a creep? He's just a voice actor in some cartoons, yet people still believe he's so important that people have formed a secret cabal to take him down.
This is what frustrates me. Almost nobody is making videos to counter any of that. Not that I blame them. The second anyone has tried, they all get swarmed by the conspiracy theorists and downvoted and negative commented into oblivion. But, like, I feel like somebody should fight it. At this point, it can't be me. Even if I ever considered it, I'm already big enough of a target, and I have no desire to monetize this drama. And it'd just feed into their narrative that I "did everything to boost my failing YouTube channel". Which, obviously, I haven't, 'cause in this whole past month I've never made a single video on the topic.I've only been halfway following this story (I mainly just pop in here every couple days to see if there's any new developments), but out of curiosity, I decided to search Vic's name on YouTube.

Sean Schemmel nor Chris Sabat could change their minds, I don't think some random YouTube video would. The #IStandWithVic people think that, because Chris Sabat gently hugged a few people at a convention that it's evidence of him being gross like Vic or a hypocrite or something. You can't convince them.This is what frustrates me. Almost nobody is making videos to counter any of that. Not that I blame them.

I feel you. It was a little weird to see how these dudes have near total control of the conversation on one of the biggest platforms.This is what frustrates me.

Of course. These guys are always the victims in their minds.Umm, don't you think that maybe nobody is coming out to defend him because they're scared of being harassed by these scary #KickVic people
Yes, that's an actual defense of Vic I've seen on Twitter
And with the new Youtube policy, I have a feeling people making counter videos would be swarmed by trolls unless they disable their comments.
That's good to know.Luckily, it only works if there's minors in the video, not for every video.
Oh boi lol. Least you seem to have the backbone to deal with it.Why did nobody tell me arguing with these Vic stans on Twitter would be so addictive
It's actually quite easy when their arguments are terrible and you feel like wasting hours of your life arguing on TwitterOh boi lol. Least you seem to have the backbone to deal with it.
