INTEREST: Voice Actor Brett Weaver Responds to Mignogna, Mari Iijima Photos

Speaking of nothingburgers, that’s exactly what the jellybean incident looks like in light of those outtakes. Like another poster said, the recordings show that they weren’t saints when it came to inappropriate humor.

Even the alleged "victim" isn't corroborating his story.

#IStandWithVic has a photograph showing them together and smiling.

Why are people getting labeled cultists? Because they share a different opinion? The Vic issue is not Black and White.. both sides have some issues. I am still waiting to see what the courts decide.

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.

Wait, what video proof exists of Vic doing these actions? He said/she said is not video proof. So far there is no corroborating or supporting evidence to back up the accusations, and frankly, many of the affidavits have had issues.

That said, even if we go with and assume that Vic is guilty, many of the others involved and supporting the KV have issues that should also cause their removal. It's been clearly pointed out that Funi's own handbook states that certain actions/jokes, etc will not be tolerated, and the recordings in question violate the standards that they set forth. Even if Vic is guilty, it doesn't make them "not guilty". Even if you want to claim that they are being gone after because of what is being done to Vic doesn't make them not guilty of their actions.

Even if you want to go after "whataboutism" doesn't mean that they didn't engage in actions that violated the company's rules and they should be held accountable for their own things. There is no question that the recordings contain material that are homophobic, sexual, etc in nature.

As the saying goes, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." If Funi wants to have a set of standards, that's fine. But if that's the case, then it appears that it is time to clean house.

Vic Mignogna sexually assaulted two coworkers! A bunch of naughty outtakes has nothing to do with that! Claims about Toye were dismissed, that's a big nothingburger. Vic apologists are just vile.

Eye witness accounts are the least reliable form of evidence because people's memories are crap

And the other problem to what you're saying is that...FUNimation's recordings shouldn't be associated in the slightest with Vic's and that's it.

The only hope I personally have is anytime we see something really disturbing like #KickVic defending domestic abuse by saying a woman having an abortion is grounds for her husband to beat her pushes the more sane and normal people away and leaves only the broken, toxic people left to hold the banner.

This is what happened for me... When I saw that happening on Twitter a few nights ago I knew that was not the side I ever wanted to be with and it could never be justified...

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.

Brett Weaver has hearsay regarding an alleged incident from 12 years ago.

Even the alleged "victim" isn't corroborating his story.

#IStandWithVic has a photograph showing them together and smiling. Which carries more weight with a jury?

Weird. The reaction I saw on Twitter was, "Oh, sounds like Toye's an a-hole, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the case at hand."
