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

That's up to the lawyers and courts to decide. Apparently there's been cases like this where it can go either way when it's a he said she said situation.

Fixed for you. Just because there's a giant problem involving American (and a Japanese citizen living in the States) VAs doesn't mean the rest of the western countries would be affected. I already know that for many Americans, the US is the whole "west" as a whole for them, but please stop thinking that your problems are always going to affect the rest of the world as well.

I can't imagine why Vic apologists think smearing his former bosses and co-workers with the filmiest of arguments is a great way to get his old job back.

The Funi outtakes are important because they show the working environment within the recording studio. These "outtakes" aren't even mistakes. They're raunchy jokes recorded and kept. It proves Funimation VAs aren't a bunch of prudish saints. If this kind of stuff was tolerated from other VAs, why are they giving Vic flak over jellybeans? It makes his accusers and HR look like hypocrites.

You should go rewatch Vic's deposition again, especially near the end. Vic says he knows this is all a bridge burning move and he's fine with that He names names of people who openly hated him at Funimation and conspired against him and basically puts all his cards on the table.

He had no intention of ever going back to Funimation. I just wish he'd made that decision sooner. Vic should have moved on from the dub industry long ago like Crispin Freeman, Laura Bailey, Steve Blum, Yuri Lowenthal, Tavis Willingham, and many other big VAs from the early 2000s did when they graduated from anime dubs to go do either video games, western animation, or their own projects; only stepping back into the anime sphere to reprise their old roles when the opportunity presents itself. He had the talent and popularity to do so but he stuck around because he loves the community. .

Okay all of those actors you listed are either union or California-based actors. The main reason why you don’t hear them much in most anime these days is because most dub companies are either non-union productions or located elsewhere like Texas where Funimation is based in so those actors can’t actually be hired as a result.

Even then there are exceptions. For fucks sake, Steve Blum was in the Baki dub & Crispin Freeman was just announced to be voicing a major character in the Promare movies dub.

So your little dig at the dub companies there fell flat on its face completely.

There’s also the fact that Vic himself hasn’t even been very active in the anime community for the most part. The man has only been in a handful of roles in the last several years, he’s barely been in anything. The only role of his I can recollect is Rohan from the Diamond is Unbreakable dub & Broly but that was a reprisal. So he doesn’t really deserve any kind of appraisal for “sticking around”.

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 don't give credo to the courts of ANN

It only proves how unhinged Vic is, thinking everything is a big, bad conspiracy against him, everyone is jealous of him, they're trying to get attention, etc. Persecution complex.

His deposition made him look like the small, vindictive, and totally creepy predator he is.
