Vic Mignogna

[Fionordequester]

My understanding of the situation with Monica and Vic is thus... Vic somehow harassed Monica many years ago...

Many years ago? I wasn't aware of the time frame; would you mind linking me the post?

New allegation from twenty-five years ago. Holy fuck. Vignogna is a creep.

Fucking disgusting.

Christ-all-fucking-mighty.

Hey, let's not bring "Christ" into it. Mignogna's tarnished his name enough.

[Bruma rabu]

Yeah no, that's pretty shit. I like his performances but I don't know if I can divorce him from his roles. Dude shouldn't have made it as far as he has.

And again, before anybody tries to raise eyebrows about the timing or her motives, this was her talking about it a little over a year ago:

Well, it'll make his villain roles pretty interesting, in retrospect. Just remember that he's every bit as much of a creep as Old!Broly is, and...there you go. You are now just as disgusted by him as the characters are.

That's called being a professional. Of course she's not going to call him out in front of a live audience; she's going to paint the best picture she can of until she's 100% certain that he's salvageable. That's what any good friend would do.

She doesn't have to post things on his feed, that has nothing to do with being professional. She can be just as professional by just not saying anything. And a good friend wouldn't be the most avid person on twitter trying to take him down. I have no problem with trying to take a predator down, but I'm just pointing out how it's weird for her to have such a 180 if she says she new he was like this previously. Though Monica most likely doesn't want to talk about it this much but all the attacks she is getting from Vic fans are probably making her retaliate. If what she says is true I support her 100% for speaking out, I'm just saying if she never liked him and knew what he was doing the whole time, she probably shouldn't be acting all buddy buddy, and then stab him in the back right when she has backup.

Fits him like a glove both are very grabby. Shit ain't right.

Actually, they would. I'd do the same as Monica Rial if I found out my best friend was like that.

I have no problem with trying to take a predator down, but I'm just pointing out how it's weird for her to have such a 180 if she says she new he was like this previously.

I don't find it weird at all. It's perfectly logical to me.

Yeah, it would make sense if she didn't know, but she is making it sound like she knew the whole time. Maybe she just didn't know how bad it was.

That's likely. Most victims of sexual assault are silent, till someone finally gets the ball rolling. 230 out of 1000 are reported, so... it's really not at all unusual.

That longform Twitter post seems pretty hard to not believe. I don't want people crucified for actions from 25 years ago however, not saying its OK, but to fire him from his current job for personality traits he could have easily amended by now seems unfair, similar to the James Gunn firing about that comment from ages ago.

However if this has taken place during his professional time with Funimation which I guess is a very a long time now, then yes he has to go I suppose. A shame he has committed these crimes if true, he had a huge passionate fan base and seemed to be a fun, friendly guy at cons.

If this new allegation had come out before so many voice actors had begun to speak out, I'm not sure what I would have thought. But it coming out now that I've accepted that there's definitely something not quite right - jeebus.

This one just takes the cake, it's a far more insidious use of his power than all of the other accusations so far. This one is just...straight up attempted rape. And if it reaches back this far, then it's sadly pretty safe to say that short of not being allowed near conventions (or maybe even recording booths) again, he's not likely to change, he's far too used to getting his own way at this point.

As far as I know all of the people coming forward have been women, and I really, really hate to think that darkly, but uh...has anyone seen any sort of statement from Aaron Dismuke (original English voice of Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, where Vic played his older brother Edward) in regards to all of this? Just wondering what his thoughts on all of this is, or if there was any weird vibes he ever got off of the man, all things considered.

It did, with somewhat less detail. I immediately recognized her story when I saw it. My first impulse was to ask, "Was this you?" but I felt that would put her more on the spot.

Oh, I saw that part. I should have spoken more clearly - I meant if it had come out here, and been brought to my attention as a result, prior to having accepted the other stories, I'm not sure how I'd have reacted.

Jesus, why people still defend this guy is beyond me.

Hmm? What's wrong with asking that question?

Anyway, he probably wouldn't know any more than we do. Lots of folks record in separate booths when they record; he might not have even HAD any contact with Mignogna, far as we know.

[Fionordequester]

Alright everyone, let's get our ducks in a row. What's all the evidence we have so far? Here's my very in complete list of what has been gathered...

Only 230 out of 1000 Sexual Assaults are Reported (also gives reasons for why that is):
