The SWATing thing didn't happen apparently.
Of course this is going to add more fuel to the alt right fire.
i wonder if he's beleiving the nonsense that was posted in here earlier

The one who originally posted the swatting incident put that comment above and took it down and clarified.The "proof" offered in that case is kind of suspect. I'm currently inclined to believe the SWATting still occurred.
Adam works for Crunchyroll. He's not just going to believe social media heresay from detractors. That said, if this really did originate from Sami's Facebook page and co-opted a description of events and pictures from two years ago, I pray that her Facebook account was hacked. It's not unfathomable given the allegations against Vic she put out there a couple weeks back.i wonder if he's beleiving the nonsense that was posted in here earlier
You can't explain it away with one false story when people have have been reporting on his shit for years.yikes, but even if theres one falsely claimed issue like this one seems to be, i'll always believe victims.

Either way this is another provocative escalation of events that should ideally be dissipating.
Damn, this just keeps getting worse.Schemmel's tweets are now protected, presumably because of the shit heads attacking him.
Yeah, basically it said he received a call from his local authorities asking if everything was okay because they had received a call about something going on at his address.People are really fucked up. Swatting someone is the same as trying to KILL someone. Should be an automatic decade or more in prison if caught.
Monica is already doing that for her lawyer.Could people *please* start taking screenshots of twitter posts?
It's crazy that even the voice of Goku is targeted by these people.Schemmel's tweets are now protected, presumably because of the shit heads attacking him.

Definitely do that dude. I was reading them few days ago and I was about ready to respond to all of them on twitter before I stopped myself. Dumbasses will be dumbasses.These people are seriously making my blood boil. I need to take a break.
Fuck. Gosh I hate these people lol.I accidentally watched a video where the guy was saying that "we lost a hero" because Sean is with Monica, so it goes to show you where their mind is at.

Yep. I mean...I even tried arguing with these creeps and this is how it turned out.Not even that, its crazy that they're identifying with a known creep instead of listening to the people who have had regular contact with him who know him to be a creep and have known this for a loong time. I fully expect the victims to get ignored or get shit on even more from new sources as sad as it is, people who are in the know are speaking up and backing them up and they're just dismissed without a second thought. All these people who personally know him and have had to work around him say he's a scuzz and instead go "no, it must be a CoNsPiRaCy!"
Found in the tag.After what happened with the last one, I think we need another source on the Sean thing -- all we have here is a deleted tweet.
Boy, the sinking feeling I got when I saw Adam's tweet. Not that Vic's defenders already didn't have their heads in the head, but you know they'll be hailing this as ultimate proof of a conspiracy.
Wow.
It's not even really about Vic anymore. It's sociopaths seeking blood and drama.And now the narrative is that Funimation faked the swatting.
These Vic stans are fucking ridiculous.
At this stage it isn't really about him anymore though. It's about pushing back against victims of sexual abuse and harassment, and revolting against any voice of support those victims can garner. The majority couldn't give two fucks who Vic is, just the fact women have had the audacity to come forwards against him, and others have backed up their claim.
I have a feeling these aren't even Vic fans. I doubt his fanbase was THIS large before and I say this as someone who considered him Broly and loved his music and voice acting.
I think it's a bunch of alt right shitheads using this to fight back against #metoo movement as "proof".
Oh yeah no, it's laughable to suggest these were all Vic fans. They weren't. Anime Outsiders, for instance, has had a known hateboner for the dub industry for a while. This is just a chance to weaponize an event to further that.
It's just kinda disappointing seeing the #KickVic tag largely devolve into a secondary #IStandWithVic tag. :/
But as a result I saw that supposedly Vic is lawyering up for defamation......... But against who? Everyone who accused him? That's a lot of people, you're going to be summoning like a hundred different people to a court, then. I don't think he's that rich. Against one person? There's plenty of testimony of him being a creep online that can be used as corroboration for what the one person said. Against Funimation or RoosterTeeth? Both are based in Texas, which has horrible worker rights laws, and so just the controversy around Vic would be enough to fire him, let alone whether it's true or not.
Like, if it's true he's doing that? It won't end well for him. I doubt he is given it comes, again, from people harassing his victims. But it could be a Digital Homicide situation, but worse.
It's not really clear what Vic's actually doing. Seems a lawyer on Youtube is offering to be Vic's lawyer, and opened a gofundme to do so. Unless I missed it, nothing else seems to have popped up.Oh yeah no, it's laughable to suggest these were all Vic fans. They weren't.

Yep, that's another part of it I hadn't considered, and why I doubt it's true. He can't be so egotistical it sends him into utter fool territory after having the rug pulled out, can it?Texas Anti SLAPP laws are going to cost Vic a lot if he goes with this.
If that's all it fucking is, and he's not personally hired anyone, I'm so fucking amused.It's not really clear what Vic's actually doing. Seems a lawyer on Youtube is offering to be Vic's lawyer, and opened a gofundme to do so. Unless I missed it, nothing else seems to have popped up.
Allegedly Vic is going to be laying low while he takes up counseling. People may just want to be stirring the pot for warring's sake.
Is he really stupid enough to try for defamation/wrongful termination?

God, you're right, clumsy wording on my part. It's not firing at all. So he'd have even less a leg to stand on.I mean... has Vic even technically been fired? Isn't most dub work for-hire contract work? Regardless of where you are or the circumstances surrounding it, there's a world of difference between firing a full-time employee and simply deciding that you aren't going to hire a specific contractor going forward.

He was fired from RWBY, and I believe Funi recast him in one of the shows he was currently dubbing, The Morose Mononokean II.
I mean, what specially was his role on RWBY? Point is that there is a very specific legal distinction between firing a pay-rolled employee, and no longer deciding to work with a freelancer who you contract on a per-job basis.
I'm not sure what point the Mononokean II dub was at, if they'd even started it at the point they cut ties, but it's entirely possible that they just threw Vic the minimum whatever the were contractually required for that one, probably non-union, job and just not contract him for any further work, assuming that they even had to pay him anything to cut ties there.
I don't honestly know what Vics employment status at Funi was, but I'm guessing Vic probably doesn't have a legal leg to stand on there even if they stopped working with him without his questionable history.
