Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)

Bread and his crew are totally fleecing Vic.
Oh wow, I almost want to believe they're doing this long con because they want to deliver their own justice for what Vic's done. But I know I know, that'd be pure Hollywood fantasy.

I'm in the wrong profession.

This sounds like a complete scam lmao
As someone who works at a law firm, the most senior partners charge $200-300 depending on the client, and support work is done by paralegals at around $95. There generally aren't going to be more than 2 partners working on something at once, and generally not in the same hour. There's no reason for four partners to be working on a case like this at the same time. They are totally scamming Vic and his supporters. Amazing.

Oh hey. So, his career not only is over but he's going to burn through what remaining cash he has left. I would say this is beautiful, if it wasn't for the fact that the victims are still being harassed and having to deal with legal bullshit.

Whew, the most obvious scam happening.
He's going to be penniless by the time this is over. Lucky to get cast in shitty Christian cartoons.
All the Vic fans constantly hype up how he's gonna win when he takes them to court.
I wonder what the narrative will be if he looses?

Probably something ridiculous like FUNimation paid the jury off lol
With Monica being the mastermind behind the bribe, of course.
Of course! With all funding from a secret GoFundMe campaign!
"Of course we knew they would win. There's no stopping a big, evil corporation and the SJW agenda. They destroyed the life if a good Christian man."
I just have to imagine how warped your world view must be to think that two major companies and who knows how many people would apparently just all work together to just decide "yeah I'm gonna screw this guy over" for no benefit.
yeah like they wanted the inevitable backlash from Vic's fans from all of this, like no It's more important that we screw over a guy who hasn't had a big VA role in years
So the lawyers initiated a crowdfunding campaign which fleeced Vic's gullible fans for $160k, and then tempted Vic to give them the green light and burn down what was left of his ruined career with the lure of "free lawyers", and now they're cutting into Vic for at least 80k so far (I guess they're using the sunk cost fallacy)?
It'd be hilarious if it wasn't actively causing more harm to Vic's victims.

It's covered in thread but it's believed his contract with the convention specified penalties for unilateral cancellation with no exit clause (for, say, proven history of sexual harassment). Normally this isn't an issue since the normal thing to do is to silently bow out and hope it blows over, but Vic ended up forcing the con to let him back on or he would seek the penalties the convention's own contract stipulated.
The end result was, of course, most of the convention's other guests cancelling their appearance at the Texas event.
Kamehacon in Europe just recently announced they were no longer happening but it's not known if this is directly related to the Vic situation.
I see.
It's amazing. It takes years to cultivate a following but it only takes one thing to cause a collapse.

It feels so rare you hear good news these days.
Granted, these guys probably redirect some of this money to attack Rial & presumably others to keep them looking powerful & thus keep their wallets lined. So I don't want to get excited prematurely.
Looking at the guest list Vic is going to need to corner the market in general purpose comic/fan conventions that aren't otherwise bringing in anime voice acting talent that will blacklist them or pull out because he's not getting in anywhere else. That said, he can probably still milk this racket for another few years until even the Dragonball crowd has little to no interest in him.
My favorite thing in life is to see someone verbally brutalize assholes who think they're hot shit
I said damn.
I find it funny that the DB fandom seems to have had his most vocal supporters when it involves a roll he's frequently complained about and how minor it felt in comparison to other characters he played.
When I thought of Vic it was Ed, Junpei, or Qrow, but no it's the one where 90% of his dialogue is screaming that's important now.
I'm hoping whoever has to replace him as Broly doesn't get shit from his fanbase. Same for whoever ends up as Qrow.
for real i saw some dumbass on twitter say that Broly was the most popular Saiyan and I was like...fucking seriously?
...actually, that might not be untrue, because I remember Americans used to rave like mad for Broly during the series height of popularity in earlier years, but... most people didn't even know Vic Mignogna voiced Broly in those movies. In fact, it wasn't until really the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie when people became more conscious of this anyways, less due to controversies, but just more due to general cast announcements. Like the previous poster said, most people know Vic for his other works, including the acclaimed Fullmetal Alchemist series as Edward Elric.
So yeah, uh... Vic's association with Broly is more of a recent thing, and I dare say it's simply because of the controversy this stuck. Don't know where the hell these fans saying "Vic made Broly" came from recently, because no one really knew it was him.
Even on the Japanese side of things, I had no idea that it was Bin Shimada (someone who I really like for his vocal work and range) until looking at his credit roles and was like "Wait, seriously?". I feel it's mostly because he's just a one dimensional character, and was up until this new movie...
As popular as Broly is he doesn't come close to Goku or Vegeta, those two are dragon ball pretty much
Broly is also very popular in Japan. He had three movies before American audiences were ever even introduced to Dragon Ball, after all.
It's true Broly is fairly popular. Probably part of the reason Toriyama created a movie with him in it. But for people to say Vic made Broly? Give me a break! They could of someone else to play Broly in the most recent movie and they probably would of done a better job than Vic did. Least in my opinion, I found Vic's Broly performance subpar at best.
I've always loved Broly - got a SSJ1 Broly fig on my desk between my 2 Gohans!... but I've never given the slightest of shits about his speaking roles, and Broly's one of the few characters that more familiar by their JP voice anyways since I watch movies subbed.
The original Broly actually just got another highest rarity card in the global version of Dokkan Battle, one of the mobile games, despite already having one of the highest rarity and even based on the same movie. I don't understand it all all, but he's definitely popular.
I totally agree that Vic has 0% to do with it. Even the new Broly, who has a lot more characterization, is mostly made into a sympathetic character based on the circumstances around him and has very little dialogue.
On top of that, Broly is altogether a tensy tiny amount of Dragonball. There are hundreds of episodes of the anime, leading to hundreds of hours of footage where Broly hasn't even been present, and then four or five hours of movies where he is. I refuse to believe any argument about how big Vic is to Dragonball because it just doesn't add up.
Oh yeah, the irony was totally lost on me there, but yeah in the movie he does stop one drunk guy who was annoying Cheelai.
That's the thing here. People keep saying "Broly was never actually popular" as if that means Vic sucks, but that's not the case. People LOVE Broly, he just also happens to be voiced by Mignogna.
It's gonna be weird to have OG Broly with Vic's voice and Nu Broly with a different voice.
If the replacement does even a half way decent job of mimicking Vic then I doubt anyone will really notice outside the folks paying attention to this whole situation. Shit, Broly is still going to be mostly screaming.
What's funny is that OG Broly's most iconic line wasn't even used in the dub.
"A monster? No, I'm the devil"
"A monster? No, I'm the devil"
Think the only time that line was almost used in English was in Budokai 3, but instead of "I'm the Devil" it was "I am a God"
