Dante and Ken Masters voice actor Reuben Langdon is peddling COVID-19 conspiracy theory videos on Twitter

[Sesha]

For those unfamiliar with Plandemic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plandemic

As a mega DMC fan who supported Reuben as Dante from day 1, who fondly remember him posting on GameFAQs back before DMC3 came out and interacting with fans, and always loved how passionate he was about the role and the franchises he works on, stuff like this, him supporting QAnon and shilling it and 8chan as a response to criticism about his support of QAnon (just weeks after the Christchurch shootings even), hurts.

He's been complete shit for a quite a while so this is not surprising at all.

Wish so many companies wouldn't go to him for their mocap work.

 

[ClickyCal']

Fuck this dude.

 

[Tridash]

Yeah he's spouting all that garbage for years now...

 

[Yuntu]

I hope Capcom drops his ass.

Does he do a lot of mocap?

Owns like the biggest if not most famous studio for it where a LOT of game companies go .

 

[Herb Alpert]

That's not the first time he says stupidities

 

[Seesaw15]

He called out the sheepeople AND the lamestream media? What a maverick.

You have to hope that he's a grifter otherwise I couldnt handle people being this dumb.

 

[Neiteio]

Dude's a whacko but out of curiosity, how did a voice actor come to own and operate a mocap studio?

 

[Musubi]

Always did like DmC Dante better.

 

[Yggfk]

"Sheepeople"..."Lamestream"...

We dealing with a first grader here?

Also, fuck Langdon. He's been a piece of shit for a loooong time.

 

[TheDinoman]

Sugiyama on Dragon Quest and this guy on DMC, two parasites that can't be easily ridden off and it's fucking annoying.

He started out as a stunt man. I think it’s mainly the other way around: mocap actor becomes VA.

 

[Glasfrut]

Dismal.

Uncle Dante really wants to be that shitty relative with the crazy takes, huh.

 

[ValKiryuSonicEX]

yea, hardly surprising at this point, he has peddling shitty views and shitty conspiracy theories for years…sadly no action has been taken against him, nor has he bothered to learn a lesson. Really wish more of a light would shine on this so companies like Capcom and Sony would drop him, this is dangerous behavior.

 

[Rotobit]

It is pretty funny that every time I'm just about to finally play Devil May Cry 3 he does something like this

Just scrub him from future games, please. I'm sure there are other mocap studios out there.

Also if Dante's in Smash now that'll be a real kick in the teeth

He is a stunt man first and foremost. He used to do stunts for Power Rangers and act in commercials and a Sentai show in Japan. DMC3 was his first game VA role.

He‘s also a stuntman.

Alright, Langdon is bad but let’s not get TOO crazy here

 

[Neoxon]

Click to shrink...

I wish they could, but he co-owns the mo-caps studio that they normally use.

Also, Reuben was in TLoU1 & 2, so we need to get Naughty Dog to drop him going forward as well.

 

[GameBuddy]

This got brought up right before DMC5 came out too. He’s a fucking nut and an asshole. Him and Guy Cihi are birds of a feather, although I guess Rueb still actually works in the industry.

It probably had something to do with working and living in Japan at the time and being a “jack of all trades” as far as stunt work and acting went.

 

[RPG]

I stopped following Gootecks for similar reasons and his constant promotion of hydroxychloroquine

 

[MetalKhaos]

Of course all crazy sites have to have Freedom or Patriot or something Nationalistic.

Guy who blindly follows non-science based conspiracy theories calling other people sheeple. Riiiiiight.

 

[Balfour]

Crazy man says more crazy dumb stuff

Wouldn't expect less from a guy looking for our "extradimensional brothers"

 

[Dust]

Reuben has been like this for a long time unfortunately.

 

[excelsiorlef]

lmao sheeple and lamestream....Nothing says free thinker like repeating conservative cult linguo

 

[Vertpin]

Okay I think I’m okay with them replacing his VO

 

[Snake__]

Dante is very very stupid in DMC5 so maybe they just didn't tell him his character was an idiot and it just worked out really well

 

[ValKiryuSonicEX]

nah, not really Sentai, it was just Metal Heroes (B Fighter Kabuto to be specific)

 

[Neoxon]

Let’s not get too crazy here. All regular Dante needs is a new VA (Zeno Robinson would be great). DmC Dante has a slew of other issues.

 

[Neiteio]

Half of his tweets seem fixated on the idea of the government hiding extraterrestrials from us, lol

 

[Kewlmyc]

He's been a known crazy for a while now. Wonder if he'll play Dante in Nocturne's dub.

 

[Coffee]

It's ironic how I wish a voice actor would just shut the hell up. How long before he goes full q-fanatic?

 

[Sesha]

nah, not really Sentai, it was just Metal Heroes (B Fighter Kabuto to be specific)

Click to shrink...

Gotcha. I got Tokusatsu and Sentai mixed up. I sometimes do.

 

[Neoxon]

If I recall correctly, Capcom has been working on their own mo-cap studio for a while now. Maybe they can drop Reuben after that’s finished (though those plans may have been delayed due to COVID). But even then, there’s still Naughty Dog, Insomniac, From Software, Square Enix, & more who need to stop working with Reuben.

 

[snausages]

I was messing around with StriVe earlier and this type of stuff had me considering just being a weeb and playing with japanese voices.

I'd miss Nero but japanese Dante sounds pretty cool

 

[Channel 5 News]

I learned long ago, from console war shit, that using names like "Micro$oft" or "Sony Pony" or whatever never helps the conversation. Ever. Speaking down to those you're trying to prove a point to will only make them dig their heels in more and stoop to your level, further degrading the conversation.

 

[sensui-tomo]

Yeah unfortunately lots of game studios use his mocap studio, like ea , bethesda, From software, etc. It'd need a harvey weinstien like issue to get his ass out of that company/nobody to work with them.
And old dante is only liked because his design isn't a "Gay cowboy" in regards to anyone saying DmC dante was better. (DmC had homophobic problems in marketing and should be shamed)

 

[Blader]

lol I know, talk about the lowest of low hanging fruit.

Had no idea the guy was a QAnon person too, Jesus. This shit is a disease.

 

[Billfisto]

I don't get it when successful people go full-cultist.

Stupid teens, rednecks or Facebook-addict retirees or whatever I can understand - their lives are empty and they feel that having the "secret knowledge" makes them better than everybody else.

But if you're fairly successful, like Reuben seems to be, what's the benefit? Why aren't you enjoying the fruits of your success? Why are you online actively creating a potential cause to lose that success?

 

[Igniz12]

Its never just one thing with these dudes. It always starts with something small and before you know it the heel turn comes right around the corner like a flash.

Then drop the studio. Everyone should. These people shouldn't get jobs after spouting such shit.

Kinda sad nothing ever happens with him despite this being a known fact.

 

[Neoxon]

Click to shrink...

That’s not the only reason. Regular Dante is a legitimately great character with a surprising amount of (likely unintentional) depth. As mentioned before, all he needs is a new English VA.

 

[bunkitz]

*sighs* Of course he's doing that. Well, I guess it's a good thing future DMC titles will likely focus on Nero way more now. A new VA for a new era would be fitting.

 

[Balfour]

I doubt capcom will drop him. Hes been crazy for years and they've known. Its gotta become a much bigger issue and i doubt you'll get many people riled up ovee him saying conspiracy theories again

They "looked into" him being crazy over comments on Mignogna and pretty much handwaived it as him being him

 

[ValKiryuSonicEX]

Gotcha. I got Tokusatsu and Sentai mixed up. I sometimes do.

Click to shrink...

Sentai is tokusatsu though, it's just Metal Heroes and Sentai are sister shows from Toei.

Though I would like to forget about Mack Windy (Langdon's character) at this point.

I'm sure if Reuben voiced support for something like Aum Shinrikyo or was arrested in Japan for drug possession or Capcom would drop him in nanoseconds. The labyrinthine double standards the game industry engages in is really baffling, to put it mildly.

As I said, Capcom is working on their own mo-cap studio, so they may do just that once it’s done. But yeah, hopefully that happens for not just Capcom, but everyone else who works with Reuben & Just Cause Productions.
