Anime Matsuri can never turn down an opportunity to pass up on causing controversy. It's their culture.

Oh look, Grift Mignogna and his cadre of alt-right sycophants have started their own little licensor, with black jack, and hookers. And so far they've licensed properties nobody's heard of or demanded.

I hope these deviants crash and burn. Mignogna is a predator and any VA involved in this should be immediately black listed by the industry, just as he is.

Dude, read Morgan Berry's tweet, it's likely referring the fact that most VAs didn't know who they were working for.

I meant any VA that actively supports Vic in this endeavor, not the ones he's tricked.

it felt wrong to me seeing certain VAs publicly calling out their co-workers for being in this.
One thing is criticizing both the companiy itself and Vic's involvement. They are right to do that,but throwing Krystal LaPorte under the bus,after being harassed and blacklisted by Sentai Filmworks out of pettiness(these same people calling her out not only remained quiet when she came out with the story,they are still regularly working with Sentai to this day.)and tragically losing Chris Ayres last year,was a shitty move.Maybe she needs to work and pay her bills,something I'm sure they don't do for her?

Oh God, please don't tell me weird people harassed and attacked Morgan Berry for working on a show with someone they didn't like and felt entitled for her to justify herself.

Well this should make anyone even remotely familiar with Anime Matsuri's business history laugh.

Considering this is the internet, I wouldn't be surprised, though that doesn't make the whole thing any less despicable. Morgan did imply in her tweet that she and many others were likely kept in the dark about who they were working for. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if the people running Anime Matsuri blackmailed her or others into being guests at the con for the sake of promoting...whatever this is they're doing.

So uh, hey, maybe don't do this? I know people have a huge hate boner for Vic, but maybe don't talk shit and disparage shows he or other people you dislke happen to be working on.
It's incredibly rude and unfair to the directors and staff of these works to be dragged into your petty feud.

I find it hard to believe that these VAs had no knowledge of Vic's involvement. He's the ADR director. It's not as if an actor never talks to their director in a dub.

Hate to pop your bubble but these things are shorts meant to be shown once or twice and that is it and the fact that bad actors could only con a naïve jp company to let them do this is disgusting
