Vic Mignogna

[Fionordequester]

Oh most definitely I do find it odd

And, since we're talking about "innocent until proven guilty"...

What about the other side of the coin? The folks who aren't gonna know whether or not he's innocent until his case has been taken to court. Don't you find it odd that Vic Mignogna's being invited back before he's actually been proven innocent?

I mean...he's already assembled his legal team! He's already gotten $200,000+ from the people who donated to him! So that lawsuit is bound to come very soon! He's clearly not hurting for cash; not at the moment.

So, since he's aware that there's going to be at least a few female fans who believe the allegations (and you just know there's at least a few who'll believe the allegations)... Wouldn't it have been more responsible to have let the courts clear his name before walking into the same room as them? Even if he's not guilty, it still seems REALLY early for him to be walking into fandom spaces again.

Is that not a reasonable position for me to take?

But this is something we've seen plenty of: the idea that the people accusing Vic of this behaviour are somehow worse than the ones defending him, or Vic himself because they're not nice about it? Because they're smug? I'm sorry, but that is the most myopic, self-centred, retrograde attitude to take to a situation like this, and you should be ashamed of yourself. The people who have come out and accused Vic of inappropriate behaviour have been faced with endless harassment, derision and demonisation for sharing those views and experiences. Virtually everyone attacking them, accusing them of lying or being out to get him doesn't know jack-shit about what he's actually like, most of them haven't met him but will jump to defend him without hesitation. Because they're naive, or hateful, or scared. Whichever it is, there's no excuse.

So yes, people like Monica Rial, Jamie Marchi and many others have every right to be angry. And this isn't exclusive to them, or this situation either. This happens all the time when a man is excused of sexual harassment or breach of trust. You say you don't want to victim-blame, but in the same breath you're arguing that every victim should conform to your idea of good behaviour or be dismissed. It's the exact same attitude.

Definitely see your point, but in my opinion, their comments on the situation (particularly Jamie's) that were posted on a public forum are career suicide. If I was a casting director for a project, I would think twice before hiring them. Vic has (allegedly) done much worse, but some of these voice actors don't exactly have innocent tongues either.

They have every right to be angry, but I feel they should have expressed that anger elsewhere. Doesn't make their claims any less valid, however.

If this keeps up, Kamehacon might have very little in the way of panels and guests. I think it has every bit to do with the last minute announcement of Vic returning as it does with Vic himself.

Maybe soon they can rename it the Vic Mignogna con instead since they only seemed to care about his zealot fanboys and fangirls not actual dragon ball fans.

Ok I hesitate commenting here out of fear of getting banned but the whole devaluing of the youtube lawyer Nick Rekeita is a bit annoying. I get it, its blackface but that can't be used as a comeback for everything the guy has been doing. I've said it already it was a lame joke he wanted to do for a black friend. I've seen worse racial jokes made by comedians who clearly aren't racist. Now getting on his case for being a youtube lawyer, I do not get the issue with this, he's still a lawyer. He knows about the law more than anyone in this forum. Its incredibly annoying to see people question this man integrity as lawyer all because he's on Vic's side. And before anyone gets the wrong idea i'm black as well. Also just a question has anyone even atleast watched one of his videos?

And look I know the IstandwithVic crowd have their flaws but am I the only......scratch that I am the only one who find the KickVic side a lot more insufferable. Please me hear me out. What I don't like from that side as they come off pretty smug and a lot of them are jerks. I think people have hard "Believing Women/Victims" in this situation is because the people on the KickVic side have used pictures and videos of Vic with fans to try to prove a point of how much a "creepy pedo" he is and those people in those pictures and videos have to come out and tell them "Don't use my stuff to defame Vic". And the worst part of it is they don't apologize for doing it. Thats completely fucked up. And I don't like how they paint Vic's fanbase as a cult. Its a fandom. Fandoms defend what they love. The KKK is a cult. The Ministry of Darkness (for anyone who watches WWE) was a cult. The Risembool Rangers isn't even close to a cult.

Then there's the voice actor and i'm truly sorry but I can't defend their actions towards the situation. They all should've handled professionally. Monica tried to do that but failed completely. Her threatening to take twitter rando's to court by screenshotting their tweets. And no I looked through those tweets, most of them was questioning her statements rather than harassing her. Then there's Jamie Marchi, who really shot herself in the foot with her tweets (sorry those blackface lawyer hashtags don't help you in the slightest). She comes off as very jerkish and rather annoying in my opinion. I don't want anyone to think i'm victim blaming but I don't think this is how victims should act because if they act like this then people will have second guesses on them.


Ok last part. The notion Believe Victims/Women is in my opinion very flawed. The reason I believe Todd Haberkorn than I do Jessie Pridemore is because at least Todd has text messages from her wanting a relationship with him and it wasn't in anyway rap

e. The reason why I believe Johnny Depp than I do Amber Heard because Johnny had photos of his bruised eye and cut finger (that poor finger) and several witnesses saying that Amber was the true abuser. The problem with the testimonies is that just it testimonies. I know people here absolutely hate the "Show me evidence" argument but to me it does hold a lot of weight. Especially to the people who say "You don't deserve evidence". I'm sorry but when you're telling a story that will ultimately cost a man his reputation and livelihood, the least you can do not just rely on testimonies that may or may not be true. Again I wanna say this I AM NOT VICTIM BLAMING. I'm just cautious and skeptical about the KickVic side and wanna point their flaws like people have pointed out the flaws of IStandWithVic side. Again I AM NOT VICTIM BLAMING

Blackface isn't just a lame joke, IT'S ALWAYS RACIST. The fact that you claim to be black and don't see this is just absurd. This isn't 1950. Its bad enough Nick did blackface. He follows the likes of stefan molyneux, a white supremacist and ben shapiro, steven crowder, crypto-Fashion

I said something I thought was deliberately inflammatory and yet I wasn’t banned like others. Interesting.

Good. I hope the whole convention is ruined over this. I’d say more, but I likely WOULD be banned for it.

Why are you puffing your chest over your behavior? So weird.

Just making an observation . . .

EDIT: and what behavior? I said a word you all didn’t like. Sorry! I don’t think people new to the forum get to tell others to “fuck off”.

Important side-bar: can we put a stop to quoting like, four paragraph-long posts??

The longer you post the smarter you are!

Or at least that’s what this forum thinks.

You used some pretty heavily racialized terms in attempt to shut down a discussion about blackface

[Shaddy]

Yes. We don't like your language because it was racist. We didn't like you saying the things you said because you were being r a c i s t .

Please continue digging yourself deeper though. The less people acting as shitty as you are here, the better.

Where should they have done it?

There is no more a proper place than the town square, which is in modern terms social media. Keeping things hush-hush prevents us from holding the powerful accountable.

That's what I was thinking, too. If Gokai's answer is gonna be what I think it is, I already have something all lined up for answering exactly why Monica and others had to report this the way they did.

So, looks like Kamehacon will not refund tickets or even money for artist’s alley tables. These guys are the lowest garbage. I honestly think the guests have an obligation to cancel their appearances if it won’t hurt them financially.

Doubtful there will be a Kamehacon 3 after all this drama.

Was thinking the same to be honest.
