What if it was just a minor part of it? You shouldn't let the actions of the minority affect what you do.

These were not random people, they were main people at the heart of this thing like those annoying lawyers and American industry voice actors. Monica Rial was one of the people I saw saying that people didn't know the two ex-wives who were abused and if people did know them they would understand. I don't need to understand anything to know domestic abuse is wrong.

The thing is it's possible to both be disappointed in a mistake the DBZ dub cast made 20 years ago and believe Vic is a repeat sexual offender at the same time. I'm not sure why this is supposed to be a big gotcha moment.

Because grasping at straws is easier than excepting what Vic has done, I guess.

You hit the nail right on. They have completely given up any notion that Vic was ever innocent.

The fact that they want to wage an all out hate campaign on social media will forever put Vic in the "do not hire he carries too much baggage" category. They are so blinded by their hate they don't realize that Vic would have been better off had he not tried to sue.

GFM account? Got F---ed Mignogna account.

Also someone has never heard of a bomb. VAs do this all the time. They record their line in full and then add a joke or something at the end of it to pop whoever goes in the booth after them. Some people are shocked and laugh at it, others continue the joke. (J Michael Tatum told a hilarious story a few years ago about a bomb on Grant James) ts nothing more than a practical joke, and they are never meant to be released for the most part outside of convention stories. Hell, Kyle Phillip's YouTube channel is full of bomb compilations across various dubs he's done.

Yes, to verbal/emotional abuse. Again, no one's downplaying this, but I've yet to see a single shred of evidence proving he physically beat his wife.

Testimony is evidence.

As the name TPO implies, it's a temporary protective order, and it was a 1 year grant and that one ran it's full year-long duration. They were filing for divorce, courts granted a year-long restraining order on grounds of the abuse. After a year, they were already separated and moved on so there was no reason to refile it. That's not a 'dismissal'.

Testimony is evidence.

I know this post is meant to be inflammatory, but I'm gonna' use it as a springboard to remind everyone that video proof exists of Vic overpowering his female co-worker onto a hotel bed before she fled after a knock on the door. The jellybean incident is tangential to the much bigger issue of attempted sexual assault, and trying to downplay the whole thing as one joke and ignoring all the other stuff that happened and what Vic himself admitted to (like pulling a different coworker's hair) is disingenuous at best. Be careful out there, friends.

Because at the end of the day, this is a business. And when you attack the fans, you attack who is paying for your business to survive. If things continue as they have, everybody loses.
