I’m seeing a lot of calls to wait for appeals. The defenders are living in a fantasy world. They are resorting to how the judge is known for being incompetent and how new evidence won’t be needed because it’s already there, Chupp just refused to hear it! I don’t know if they refuse to read the accounts of what actually happened last month or what but these people are refusing to face the situation.

All that can be said is this.
Fatality Funimation, Jaime Marchi, Monica Rial, Ron Toye Wins Flawless Victory. |

From beloved voice actor to predator. How the mighty have fallen. Shame, too.

They won in such a way that its too obscene for Mortal Kombat to depict, it was righteous. |

“I hear your point that your evaluation is that they didn’t have evidence. But the judge has to view it to determine it.”
This is an example of the logic being used to justify waiting for appeals. It doesn’t matter if the judge threw out claims due to lack of evidence, supposedly it is all there but he was bias. The defenders refuse to entertain the idea that Beard was terrible and couldn’t do his job. I even quoted Beard when he said he wasn’t listening! |

Nice. Glad this is finally over. Vic screwed himself big time and now he’s gotta pay. And since I doubt he’ll get any noteworthy roles in the future his convention appearances will slowly dwindle and even those can’t support his ego (and bank account) anymore. My hope is he’ll slowly disappear from anything anime related including cons because I can’t stand how people are still inviting him to them.

I saw this coming from a mile away. There was absolutely no way in hell Mignogna would have won this case by a landslide. Not even a little bit. I had no doubt at all that Rial, Marchi, Toye, and anyone who testified against him weren't putting him on trial for kicks and giggles and deliberately trying to ruin his career. Rial, Marchi, and everyone else involved made it clear that all they wanted was justice and for Mignogna to take responsibility for his deplorable actions, nothing else. They weren't out to lynch the guy just to get his goat or to steal his career, like some idiots have been claiming. I can only hope they manage to heal and find peace after this, since they've all gone through so much already. Although, knowing some, they'll probably continue to harass and bully them in Vic's defense and claim they ruined a good man's life.

Glad the abuser tactic of scaring his victims with lawsuits,ended up blowing up in his face. Hope he felt it was worth it.

As much as I've enjoyed his performances (he was good in FMA, no questions asked, and he wasn't half bad as Folken in Escaflowne), it's disappointing to hear about all of this. Then again, sometimes great artists can be messed up people, too. (case in point: Mozart.)

I doubt any of the defendants would have accepted that. Shutting down his troll army would've had to've been part of any settlement, and at the very least that would mean making clear that he's the loser, if not an outright admission of guilt. |

So, what's next for Ol' Vic? Try to squeeze more moolah from the "defenders of Western Civilization" brigade (YouTube grifters and conspiracy theorists)? Maybe do niche voice over where he doesn't have to work with any other actors? Start doing voice acting seminars like his pal Chuck?
Perhaps we'll be lucky enough that he just quietly disappears. Good riddance. I never even thought he was a good voice actor to begin with. He's an even worse person. |

Big agree dude. Vic may have lost this case, but that doesn't mean I can't still fantasize about how big and strong he is, or about how much money he makes, or about how many women he sleeps with compared to the people who talk trash about him. PC culture will never stop me from visualizing Vic's glistening biceps lifting a giant wad of cash, or from entering rp chatrooms where my friends pretend to be both Vic Mignogna and my dad. I'd love to see the people who care about social justice stop me from completing my 30 chapter fanfic that sets the moral record straight, wherein noted voice actor Vic Mignon runs rhetorical circles around the conniving politically degenerate women out to get him. My friend I'd love to see it, but they simply can't do it. And cheers to that! |

They're not mutually exclusive or anything You're going to Hawaii for business, so you bring along your friends and family and do leisure time on the free days. That's pretty common.
He was recently invited to like 3 more cons so most people don't seem to really care Both sides of this "cultural war" have over hyped how big a deal this lawsuit is. Most normal people aren't going to care one way or another. I mean, just think about it. While everyone was fighting on forums and ranting on social media arguing about this crap, Vic was sipping Mai Tais and going scuba diving. Some people are invested in this to a very unhealthy degree.
I don't think it was ever confirmed who wrote Gal's script. Marchi was already known for Dragon Maid's dub and her voicing the lead in Gal led people to assume it was her. If it was confirmed someone else wrote Gal then so be it. But either way, the point was there's plenty of people who hate Funimation and Marchi that don't care about Vic Mignogna so nothing is going to change there.

It finally ends. Vic is DONE. The sad part is he could have avoided this; this whole thing started not because people were out to ruin Vic, but because they wanted to shock him into realizing what he was doing. They wanted him to get help, to better himself as a person. But instead of taking a sabbatical and reflecting on himself, he blew up his entire career for NOTHING. So long, Vic
P.S. Ironic this happens the day after people did that FMA Day hashtag on Twitter. And the day BEFORE Monica Rial's birthday. Ouch |
