The point of Dragon Ball is to enjoy it. Never lose sight of that.

Different people are entitled to different opinions. You are free to protect what you feel is morally right, as are others. For other people, it might be a matter of protecting the falsely accused.Kunzait_83 wrote:is a laughably absurd and moronic false equivalence and COLOSSAL lack of ethical prioritizing and perspective.
Celebrities aren't the only people falsely accused. Scottsboro Boys, Duke Lacrosse, the Hofstra Rape Case, etc.particularly if they're an already famous and well regarded celebrity of some sort.
And for others, there are calculations of notoriety and personal gain (financially, ideologically, politically, or in terms of shaping a fandom for deranged stans/anti-stans) in exchange for composing.and are taking TREMENDOUS risks to their own lives and their own reputations to put an end to it once and for all.
And there should be a high standard for this. If there are heavy charges, a legal standard should be considered.Yes, I absolutely and unreservedly agree wholeheartedly that people shouldn't bumrush to final judgements without a good amount of evidence and facts to go off of first. Yes, I fully believe in due process and "innocent until proven guilty" when it comes to formal criminal charges. All of that is 100% salient and sound.
Just as there are anti-cults against the accused. Public figures are polarizing.is that the fans of the accused end up circling the wagons around them and forming almost a sort of blindly-loyal personality cult around him (or her)
http://innocenceproject.orgmore often than not vindicating the accusers as having NOT been lying about this the whole time
Again, it's not always celebrities. Ordinary people who are falsely accused often don't have the resources to fight false charges. College students, people in poverty, and African Americans are prone to profiling/unfair trials are disproportionately accused.And that problem, I can safely say, is one that is FAR more deeply serious and FAR more damaging and critical to deal with on behalf of sexual assault victims everywhere than some celebrity potentially having their acting career (or what have you) ruined.
[It seems people are injecting personal experiences and emotions to this topic, making it impossible to have a sober and even-handed discussion. I'll see myself out. Apologies for engaging for those discussing this as a news item who aren't looking for a debate.]

Re: Vic Mignogna
I'm sorry, but it seems you are appealing to the emotional side of the story, instead of the skeptical one. Victims deserve to be entirely supported... if they are really victims. Haberkorn's story is still a possibility, and not a true and comprovated fact.Kunzait_83 wrote: .
The point is not "the actor's bank account", but true and lie, justice, and how that can implicate on someone's life. Jessie can be a lier, and Haberkorn too can be a lier.
And if you could send me links on PM about true cases in the #meToo stuff, I would like to see them. So please, send me then at any time you want, because most of I know about #meToo is that there is a significant (but maybe not the biggest part) of liers. I'm being honest here.
Thank you.Analytical Delusion wrote:I strongly agree with this post. Rush to judgment is incredibly dangerous, and the implications of a false accusation can ruin an innocent individual's life as much as anything else. Which is why it's prudent that claims are investigated by individuals who are not at all invested in the outcome, and that said investigations are thorough and complete (including background/character research on the accusers). An issue (or cynics might call it a feature) with the #MeToo movement is that it puts people on trial in the public eye, and there is no way to recover one's reputation once allegations (even not fully corroborated) are aired.SaintEvolution wrote:Raping accusations can ruin entire careers on nowdays, even if they are true or not. It's perfectly natural to be on panic when someone accuses you of something like that.
Not saying he is inocent, because he being guilty is still a possibility too, but we cannot say with what we have until now with conviction that he is guilty.
Seriously, this is not Twitter. Victim's word is not the final word, the justice to be done needs more than just words, it needs real proofs. We should be more skeptical in situations like this one.
[With regards to Mignogna specifically, just from skimming the link, there were photos, so maybe there is some strong evidence. Still, caution is of utmost importance.]
Re: Vic Mignogna
I think having an air of skepticism is fine, but in these cases, there's literally no reason for these victims to lie. Haberkorn and Mignogna may be hot stuff in the nerd world, but outside of that, they're essentially nobodies.

Re: Vic Mignogna
“Innocent until proven guilty" is only for courts of law.
Public/personal opinion is a different matter.
You should “believe women” in these cases and err on the side of not continuing to reward bad behaviour financially or otherwise.
If he somehow gets proven innocent beyond a doubt (which I doubt whenever there are multiple accusations by different victims) you can always go buy the artists back catalogue after the fact or something or just start supporting their projects going forward.

Yamcha almost certainly did not cheat on Bulma:
He was afraid of Women, Bulma was the flirty one.
Yamcha wanted to get married (it was his gonna be his wish)
He suggested they settle down in the Trunks saga.
Alternate future Trunks is not a reliable source.
Toriyama wanted new SSJ Kids and not make new characters.

Vic addressed the allegations at a panel this weekend. Most of his appearances this year have been cancelled thankfully but for some reason, this particular one still let him in.

Re: Vic Mignogna
Yeah, it feels like since this Vic Mignogna and Todd Haberkorn stuff recently came up (back in Vic's case) , that people are starting to look for scandals elsewhere where there are none. Mignogna and Haberkorn are likely guilty from what I've heard, but now it feels like some are trying to form this huge conspiracy with FUNimation as a company being complacent with and condoning this type of behavior, which there is no evidence of (unlike Vic and Todd).jjgp1112 wrote:Unless FUNimation actively tried to cover his actions and/or enable them, the actions of two people in its gigantic pool of actors doesn't reflect the company itself.WittyUsername wrote:Alright, I think I’m done with Dragon Ball for the time being.

Re: Vic Mignogna
I'm still of the mind to believe in innocent until proven guilty (yes, even in public opinion - the lynch mob-ish nature of society nowadays boggles my mind), but I won't lie, with more and more voice actors publicly liking the 'Kick Vic' stuff, and even his fiance (or previous fiance rather, I would assume), so it's coming from people that actually, 100% for sure know the man rather than just random people online that could be anyone - I won't lie, it's...not looking that great.
I'd still like to believe there's a chance it's getting blown way out of proportion, and Vic certainly seems heartfelt in that video, but I am well aware that he's an actor and thus that could just be an act like anything else. But when so many people who actually know the man are jumping onto this one, it definitely makes one uncertain how likely innocence can really be.

Re: Vic Mignogna
Vic is already guilty of sexual assault, there's videos and images of this stuff that are pretty irrefutable, and him saying "I'll try to be better" is basically admitting it. The question is mostly just how guilty he is.

Re: Vic Mignogna
As someone who works in the legal profession I feel I’m somewhat qualified to offer the following opinion;
None of you “let’s be cautious” dipshit kids have even the slightest understanding of the power dynamic of a sexual assault case. Bringing an action has a high personal cost in a system heavily skewed toward the accused. For instance in a simple battery offence you don’t have to prove consent, it’s pretty easily to convince a jury that a guy with bloody fists beat the shit out of a guy covered in bruises with some witness accounts and circumstantial evidence.
But proving consent in a sexual assault case involves a jury going through the defendants state of mind and whether the defendant at the time was first advertent to whether or not the victim was consenting and whether under the circumstances that belief was reasonable. This is an incredibly high bar to reach and often a thought process that many jurors struggle with.
This doesn’t even consider the hundreds of procedural indignities visited upon victims where in some jurisdictions if the accused is a self representing litigant they may cross examine the victim if they chose to give evidence.
I’m too frustrated to make this post coherent but its no wonder seeing how in this thread multiple people have not only demonstrated a complete (and concerning) ignorance of the legal system but also an abject lack of humanity. Also some of y’all are powerfully fucking stupid.
