Where's their proof? Do they have body-camera footage showing the story being frauded? I can't really form an opinion on this 1989 story until it goes through the courts. "True until proven false" and all that, you know.

Someone on Discord once told me that they learned from a random post on 4Chan about how John F. Kennedy Jr. is actually still alive and secretly working alongside Trump behind the scenes to bring down an international pedophile ring that Hillary Clinton started out of a DC pizza restaurant. True story.

You might see the inherent flaw here with using "some random jackass on Discord told me so" as a reliable source of information.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

What basis does this guy have to say that it's a false story?
Looking for these rare items/information:

Any information or recordings pertaining to Dragon Ball Z's syndicated run on WAWB
Any information regarding the stations that carried the origin Dragon Ball in the USA
Dragon Box (any deals would be nice)
Shonen Jumps with Dragon Ball in them

So, you're just gonna believe it because one person in a Discord said it?

I really wish you guys would do what is being implored of the accusers and actually present SOMETHING rather than just dropping in and constantly doing these driveby "Hey guys I heard in this one thing that" posts that just reset the same argument cycle over and over again. It's absurdly dumb and frustrating. Post some "evidence" of fraud, a link, anything rather than regurgitating some random user.

All we want is Mignogna removed from the spaces he committed his acts. Unless prosecution can begin that is all we want.

I’m not. I’ve muted the word Vic on my twitter yet every day I still see some stupid tweet spreading misinformation and conspiracy theory from and attacking victims, Feminists and women, the other Funi VAs, Funimation, etc


While there have also been some questionable comments in this thread I am also happy to come here to see that it seems the majority of members commenting here are rational and critical thinkers. It’s a breath of fresh air compared to other social media sites.

I don’t want to state any names here but he took a screenshot comparing it and a very similar story. I can’t find this, but it all took place on twitter.

Regardless I am not saying he is innocent, y’all need to chill.

Alright, there's been a fair few pages worth of continued argument. So for a quick refresher to all the newcomers that arrive, here's all the evidence against Vic (that I know of)
Only 230 out of 1000 Sexual Assaults are Reported (also gives reasons for why that is):

If the “same story” from the 1980’s was on Twitter recently and in 2017 on the Pretty Little Liars forum

News Flash it’s because It’s the SAME PERSON

What a shocker I know!


Also if you are going to accuse something of being fake you should post and show why it is fake. Not just say I heard on discord.

Before I go on a tirade again how many people is it accusing Vic because I lost count. I know Monica and Jamie plus the 1989 story but how man fan interactions other than that?

Quick question: When did Vic Mignogna and Michele Specht actually get married?
I knew that they were engaged since 2011 or 2013, but did they actually tie the knot?
I know when Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey got married, I saw stories about it at the time.

This is Neil Kaplan:

I encourage you to look at the footage, again, to see which actor is in that video.

Whoever said that that was his wife was mistaken, that was his fiance who he was engaged to over the course of several years. The only reason I stepped in to correct that was because Vic was in fact married before (and, by extension, a step-dad to his now ex-wife's children),* and that's a different woman than the one quoted in the article. As far as I'm aware, Vic's ex-wife has not been identified or made any statements on this matter one way or the other.

*Anticipating the inevitable and understandable, "How do you know that?"-question, I know that because he has mentioned it several times at cons over the years.
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

So we got the Internet amateur detectives lol


I don’t know the second but CanvasPirate has encouraged harassing Monica at cons and asking her repeatedly about Vic. Looking at the other guys posts he doesn’t seem much better.


I am sorry if I take what they say with a huge grain of salt.


Edit: And there are already holes in their proof https://twitter.com/rozalui/status/1098 ... 85472?s=21
