lol how the hell does a guy like that square away playing a literal demon like Hiei?

Vic Mignogna Lawsuit |OT| Hold My Beard (Update: Appeal lost, Mignogna must pay attorney fees to defendants)
- Thread starter Sibersk Esto
- Start date
Probably the same way Vig was able to justify playing an atheist in Edward. "It's just acting."
During the allegations, I recall a few chuds trying to spring some "gotcha" at Marchi by saying "But you're fine with playing the main girl in High School DxD! She gets grabbed/harassed all the time so how dare you accuse Vig of the same!"
Yea, I'm really not liking the fact he's likely voicing one of the main characters in Lost Judgment's dub. I've been enjoying those dubs and while he was previously in smaller roles, I've been able to tolerate it since they're brief, this time though...I don't know. I'm curious if there has been anything new since he outed himself as a rapist.
Watched the latest dub of MHA. Kurogiri had speaking lines, and it seemed a bit different, but VAs try to emulate each other all the time when they are replaced and it's been so long since I heard him speak before that I can't say for sure whether it was Chuck coming back after such a long time or not.
End of the episode didn't have dub credits, so couldn't verify. Maybe someone with better ears could try. MAL doesn't have a 2nd English Listing like some redubs do, but they aren't consistent in this.

If that were the case, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be RTing Kurogiri stuff on his timeline. At this point, the "legacy roles only" theory is looking likely.
Quite frankly, after the stunt he pulled with the affidavit, I'm amazed they'd continue hiring him. Haberkorn is already a can of worms, but the guy who outright aligned with a SLAPP suit against his employer on top of pushing damaging casting couch conspiracies just to smear Chris Sabat? He's clearly a liability.
True. Didn't bother actually checking twitter lol
Pretty much agree with thinking he'd be a liability. But I guess someone somewhere thought it'd be best to not stir the pot with chuds and let him have his few legacies and just gradually fade him out until there's nothing left.
Anyone know who this is referring to?
Edit: Okay well changing post due to added info. Trying to remember if Chuck was the one to do the whole, in-between guy for Vic or not.
Anyway, one hand, sad to see her having to deal with this. On the other hand, cool that she's an alumni from my undergrad college.

It's about Chuck Huber. She did classes with him and was later a teacher in his online acting school.
He started shilling NFTs a few days ago and then people (re)discovered he was anti-vaxx, 9/11 truther, flat earther and it just went further on from there.
...
Then allow me to edit my post.
I mean I knew Chuck was weird but ugh...
I feel like I'm missing context as this feels like it's being built off of other things being said about him.
Regardless of what I'm missing though, this story on top of what Chuck tried to do with inserting himself as a "liason" between Vig & Monica, seems to paint him as a fucking opportunist of every level.
He should fall off the edge of the Flat Earth he believes in.
Shane Holmberg's write-up as well as him doubling down below might help:
...yeah, as an autistic individual myself, I'm more than a little peeved at this talking point. While I obviously can't speak for the entirety of those across the spectrum, there's a wide gulf between "the daily struggle of applying common sense and managing one's sensory issues" and "being impervious to any and all forms of criticism and consequences", not the least in stalking and inciting threats. (And that's not even getting into the bad faith "you're being ableist!!!!11" defenders; like, seriously, buzz off with that shit.)
Also apparently he's dabbling into eugenics now? I'll admit I'm a little lost on this one.

I feel like Funi will only fully get rid of Huber if he does something really bad. Like "sue the company" bad. Or if he ends up outed as a sex pervert.
If there's any consolation, he hasn't been cast in a new Funimation role in a long time. He's only kept around for role reprisals like 17, Kurogiri, and Hiei for the YYH OVA (whenever that comes out)
It should be noted that Huber is also a crazy hardcore Christian. Like "Harry Potter is Satanic" hardcore. Amazes me he's willing to do shows like Dragon Ball, Soul Eater, and Yu Yu Hakusho. But I guess money overrides faith.

Still no updates to the case. At this point i think the court is just ghosting the case so they don't have to read anything by beard anymore.
New half-hour video uploaded not even a half-hour ago: *Takes a neutral stance, slightly favoring the K. Vig side of this.*
I.S.W. Vig: "HA! TAKE THAT, SJW SNOWFLAKES"
I.S.W. Vig: "HA! TAKE THAT, SJW SNOWFLAKES"
He was recently a guest at a con that I was working at a booth for as a volunteer all weekend. He had a huge line at all times, it was nuts but people love this asshole and never was there not folks lined up for his autograph and pics. I can see some cons just not caring if he's a bankable guest with certain crowds, then they will still book him.
I imagine a decent percentage of the audience still has no idea about the lawsuit, but recognise the characters
I kind of like to think that and assume it is true a lot of folks don't know, there was lot of youngins too in the line. He was charging $30 for autographs and more for pics and other things, friend and I counted as his line was visible to us the whole time and he was making several thousand in 2 hrs easy. He was there most of the day then too and it was two days of him having consistent lines.
Folks lined up to see him was pretty split evenly with boys and girls.
Have a rough estimate about how young? It may take a generation before people stop caring about his old roles. I know my kids aren't of the age yet to give a shit about the voice actors of the Digi Destined or Digimon more than the Digimon themselves. And by the time they do get old enough, he'll be out of the industry long enough to not have any new roles that they can begin to fanboy/girl over.
That's not to say those of us who grew up watching FMA on Adult Swim won't still have a set of fans that will maintain that fandom until he retires from the con scene.
There was alot of tweens for sure, some older anime fans for sure but the line did seem to skew to maybe more middle to early high school looking kids. Lot of the older ones clearly were DBZ fans from their outfits haha
Which is wild. I didn't learn about his Broly role until I was in college, even after seeing the original movies in high school. The amount of fanfare he got for reprising a super old role just because the character is "canon" now is......
Well....at least JYB has taken over and does a much better job with the screaming.
Also, I'd like to highlight: $30 for autographs?! WHAT.
In comparison to this:
Losing a class act like Chris and still having to put up with Vig's bullshit is extremely unfair.
A YT video regarding FUNimation uploaded today.
Dunno if I can share it here or not, but over there are the search filters to know what I'm talking about
I assume it's by someone whose opinion isn't worth anything
LOL I was just about to link the video
I watch her content because she talks about corrupt companies, non profits and MLMs, but it was interesting seeing her covering something I know about.
However I felt the video was a bit misleading as it promises to be about FUNimation but instead focuses the 90% of the video on the Vic case.
While I appreciate her talking about Vic, it should have just been a video on him :/
Additionally it's a good summary of everything that happened at least, and sides with Kick Vic more so better summary video than some other youtube sources I guess. :blobshrug:

I'm rather confused how the vic stans see this video as some kind of win ... ? Is it because Illuminaughty tends to use the term "alleged" where it's legally safe to do so?
They see Ty Beard plainly fucking up as a win because it's a cunning plan to get the Real Abusers to lower their guards.
They're stupid.
Not really. Case wise it's still held up in appeals.
It just occasionally gets bumped whenever a video gets posted of someone wanting to summarize things that happened.
They likely didn't watch the whole video at the time. Wishing her the best of luck from there
I honestly wanna know how they got that stance either especially when she was very clearly on the side siding with the victims and believing their claims and really only using alleged for legal reasons.
she does point out that most of the evidence is from testimony, but she always does that when presenting evidence and she still sides with the victors.
The vig stans I used to see on Twitter didn't exactly ooze intelligence or critical thinking skills, lol
Maybe they didn't read past the somewhat ambiguous title of the video?
This is the same group of people that were convinced that they had an open and shut cases despite every other lawyer that saw it besides THE BEARD telling them it was stupid. They are no stranger to avoiding reality for their fantasy land
Nick Rekieta "Screech"-branded grift is a hell of a drug.
So a certain someone attempted to sneak his way into the Los Angeles Comic Con by piggypacking onto a vendor's booth; thankfully, the convention responded appropriately. Cue screaming chuds.
Gotta say, I certainly didn't miss the familiar cycle of tired arguments ("There's no evidence! You just hate his faith! Monica lied!"), but "the accusers retracted their claims!" is a new one.
(While I'm at it, I will say the disingenuous "He was never convicted of sexual harassment, so how can you call him a sexual predator?" talking point is hysterical given that they're quick to do the same with Sabat and DC Douglas, and I say that knowing full well of the smoke surrounding the latter. They really have no consistent values.)

That is fucking sad, have some self awarness and self respect.
Seeing Vic Stans throw a tantrum is both hilarious and pathetic. Why do they idolize this creep again? Oh wait it's because he was a fulfilment of their desire to get away with harassing women and him being held accountable ruins that fantasy.
That, and a few conflating him with the characters he's voiced.
