Funimation might have poor public perception but what in this case looks bad for them?

They already won on the first attempt by Beard to strike one or more of their affidavits.

So we can basically say this.

Sabat is an innocent person. There was a twitter hack that caused a mess up big time, which Beard and co. jumped on along with Chuck Huber to try to derail the case off the forgery and such. And now the stans are leaping to conclusions instead of being normal and READING EVERYTHING WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB AS THEY SHOULD!

*steps off soap box*
Could you verify so people will know?


It was my personal opinion. I was blowing off steam since it seems instead of going through everything throughly, people jump the bandwagon quick. Didn't mean to think it was official, but you have to admit, it seems fishy that one person would try to dissuade a situation by bringing in someone who wasn't involved in the first place. That's all I'm saying.

Could any of photo of him be used instead of that one for the headline? It must have been the most consistent one used to represent him in this whole string of news and the entire event this year. No offense meant, yet looking at that photo just gives me the creeps, on purpose or not.

By what metric? Looks like they’re doing just fine to me. There’s a lot of background noise, but that has little bearing on the suit.

While I absolutely do not support Vic's case here, you guys have failed massively when it comes to neutral coverage. The allegations made against Chris Sabat are just as important to notice as Vic's, even if the end result isn't true.


They addressed that in the last Vic post, including all the sources they talked saying it wasnt true. I see you conveniently skipped over those though.


Let's talk about that last Vic post.

Quote:
Both of the plaintiff's petitions alleged that "Funimation Productions, LLC was amorous and sexually-charged for years" and cited Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, an anime starring both Rial and Marchi, and Prison School as examples of the company's products. It's unclear what, if any, bearing a "sexually charged" atmosphere at Funimation would play into the validity of the mountain of accusations levied against Mignogna


Yeah, I'm picking up nothing but neutral vibes here.

Quote:
Huber's proposed statement would have had Mignogna admit to being a sex addict. Huber's new affidavit stated that he does not have the personal knowledge to make that diagnosis of Mignogna. Huber is also on-record as a believer in the Flat Earth conspiracy theory.


I mean, the writer is definitely not going out of her way to promote a certain view of Huber.

I already made a long post (that for some reason got taken down because I'm on Vic's side) what is ANN against Vic aren't news sites supposed to be unbiased?

This'll probably get taken down anyway, but I'll put in my two cents for what it's worth, I got introduced to this case by yellowflash, it just came up in my youtube recommended list because i was watching videos about dragon ball super broly.

I hate the voice actors because of what I've watched the opinions about them I've heard from videos made by Vic supporters which made him seem like a guy who lost everything because of the darkside of metoo where people think that there's no such thing as a false accusation, so I may be biased.

Someone eailer commented on how it's not looking good for funimation, that's because a funi employee talked about how the voice actors hated Vic and smack talked him behind his back, and weren't really good people, and apparently the recasting of gohan was due to a voice actor not sleeping with Chris Sabat who has a huge influence in the company.

I won't get deep into facts because I might say something that's wrong because I have a bad memory and I don't remember every fact that was gone over in the video, but I was sure one of the victims did speak out about the horrible work environment and sexual harassment at funimation, not only by Vic infact the person never stated that Vic sexually harassed anyone.

The jellybean incident and way he acted was normal in the work environment apparently, according to statements from a Funi employee before the "No Hugs" policy that happened when Funi got by Sony when they bought them out it was a very perverted place.

All of what I said above is just to add more validity to why Funimation's getting a bad reputation, but it doesn't have much to do with the Vic case it only makes the voice actors look bad and like hypocrites, but statements have been made that make it seem like the voice actors themselves were the ones who used Vic over physical nature and the people who like to lie and play victim to get rid of Vic once and for all, I heard they didn't wanna cast him as Broly for the new film but he got it anyway and they had to wait until it sold well until they made their move.

Well, there's your mistake right there.


Also, Funimation doesn't have a bad reputation. The average anime watcher doesn't even know one licensor from another. The insulated online community lives in its own world.

Well it's better than getting introduced to it by an ANN article or most people who just believe things on twitter, all videos on the stand with Vic side seem like they do alot of research into facts that make the who case seem fishy in the first place, apparently you guys don't do research or make up fake facts, or even think you're winning by following someone who makes it seem like you're right with evdiance that's been proved false by I stand with Vic youtubers.

I could be wrong to I'm not afraid to admit that it is a possibility, I'm just 99% sure I'm right, who knows, but why not stop arguing until the verdict is in, or will we still be arguing over who's right even after it's officially stated, I mean innocent people have gone to jail for crimes they didn't commit, but after the case is closed it won't make that much of a difference.

A court hearing is coming this month let's continue the flame war if a verdict is not reached then and the whole thing is extended.

YouTube isn't the best resource for this kind of stuff, because most of them are really armchair commentators who twist or omit facts to further their own narrative and agendas, which has notoriously been done here. In this situation you look for specific Vic videos and they will seem to back him up, but once you look at other videos on their channel not related to the current issue then you will see they are actually furthering their own interest rather than reporting accurately. Yellowflash is definitely one of those kinds of channels, but yeah, I've had my fair share of eye rolling at all sides of the spectrum.

From what I read, Vic's team filed a order to quash the subpoena, so looks like Vic does not have to show up today, till after they have a hearing on the order.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, and this may have already been said and obvious, but I just think this a money move by Vic. I mean if he REALLY cared about his rep, wouldnt he start coming at RoosterTeeth first since they were the first ones to publicly drop him? As far as I've seen they've got no heat (aside from the toxic side of RWBY fandom, but that's a other can of worms) but Funi got the deeper pockets so he went after them.

Why isn't the the homophobic voice clips reported as least as a separate news issue? Funimation being one of ANN's biggest sponsors shouldn't stop them from reporting it.

My guess with them not reporting on it is that there's nothing to go on. That and there seems to be too many people who are trying to get that some exposure to take away from the allegations surrounding Mignogna or backhandingly thinking that's going to get Vic his jobs back.
