Yeah the fake SWAT thing was awful but notice how everyone from the “Kick Vic” owned up and admitted it was fake. So the idea that the Kick Vic side is spreading lies when they outright admit something is fake comes off as even more ridiculous.


I also see no admittance from the other side when they get something wrong. I continue to see the spreadcnof the same misinformation from the other side.

This isn't gonna really convince the people whose minds are made up, but I think MangaKamen put this in an interesting spin & sums up MY viewpoint pretty well. https://youtu.be/Zg_9XHUzSXU
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

Please don't leave drive-by YouTube video links without actually providing any context. Who are these people saying these things? Why should they be listened to? What do you actually think?

Good Lord... it just gets more disturbing with every day.

The FIRST swatting incident was fake. After Schemmel posted about it on twitter someone tried to swat him for real.

They were actually in the clear for once and ended up ruining it for themselves anyway.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The Vic supporters are now gonna play the victim card hard and the ones on Twitter are probably celebrating by beating themselves off to the so-called "victory" regarding the swatting being all a lie.

Do Sega also know about this allegations made against Mignogna, since Mignogna also play the role as E-123 Omega in the Sonic Franchise from 2010 - present day.

For a person who claims to not be taking sides, he seemed to spend a good deal of time mocking Team KickVic. That’s all I have to say.

The video talks about Mignogna fighting back, with a potential lawsuit and fake swatting exposed.

Those comments on the YouTube Videos are so sickening. Honestly this whole Vic thing has been really bad for
My mental health. Just seeing so many people attacking victims, continuing to spread misinformation, and acting like Vic is some kind of martyr and there is some grand conspiracy against him has really shown me how many awful people are out there.

Of the voice actors Monica Rial has gotten the worse of it. Some of the things said against her are so horrible and misygonist it’s really sickening.

I’ve muted the word Vic on Twitter because it’s really bad over there. This thread actually keeps my somewhat sane since people actually have common sense.

I mean, he was only pointing out the bad actors on that side from what I saw. And, it's not like it was all he was doing. He also put in a dig at The Quartering & didn't deny the way the accusers were feeling. I felt his talk DID lean more towards the Standing With Vic side of the argument, but that's only because he focused on the bad actors on the KickVic side. I'm sure if you asked him to clarify his feelings & he answered, you'd see his other feelings on the situation.

I just don't think that his mocking imitations of the KickVic people came across as particularly neutral. In general, he spent more time going after the people who are anti-Vic Mignogna than he did going after the people who are on Mignogna's side, so I don't know why he's even claiming to be neutral on the matter.

Schemmel might be bullshitting on that front. In the gaming community a lot of people get SWAT-ted and not one of them is warned beforehand. Which makes complete sense if they see you as potential threat. Why would the force warn you of their operation before they do it?

Can't say I can side with Jamie Marchi and Monica Rial. They both wouldn't shut the fuck up. They're just making things worse.

This is yet another extremely disappointing, awful viewpoint and yet again goes back to the seemingly-never-ending explanation of why assault/abuse victims don't always report.

Some forces do that. I remember accidentally pressing the emergency number on my phone, hung it up, and then they called me back to ask if anything was wrong before the police came over. Different, but it can happen.

Have you read any of Jamie Marchi's tweets? Most of her comments are vile and disgusting. At least, Vic showed class.
