Daman Mills issue

[WittyUsername]

So, that’s it? This is going to just get brushed under the rug?

Lest other victims come forward, probably. That or the industry and fandom make it clear that Mills is not welcomed in our spaces.

Intreasting turn of events. I wonder why the retraction happened.

Duncan was likely threatened with legal action that he couldn't pay for because America.

Sounds like a baseless allegation. What kind of proof do you have or is it just a typical Internet gut feeling?

Interesting turn of events nonetheless.
Smart of Mills not to comment on the allegations. Whatever he would have said, it would only have made it worse.

With only one person accusing Mills and now retracting the statement it would be wrong to kick him out the industry or the fandom guilty or not. It is horrible and sad if he did this and then bullied a victim to shut up but we also have to go with innocent until proven guilty business wise even if personally we belive otherwise.

I believe Funimation won't sever their ties. This didn't whip up enough of a storm like Vic did.

It's not baseless at all. Let me help you

Duncan makes claim about Mills. Screenshot evidence of Mills being persistent with receiving sext from Duncan even comes out

Mills issues a C&D and claims the relationship was consensual

Mills goes radio silent on social media for a few days. He gets a lawyer to represent him

Duncan retracts his statement

Anyone can make a claim. Doesn't mean they're right/telling the truth.
How do you know the screenshot evidence is legit and not doctored?
Radio silence is not admittance to guilt. Letting a lawyer handle these cases is a much more professional manner than posting about it on social media.

Unless you know the direct communication between the parties you cannot judge the situation. And you don't. So you can't.

He literally admitted to having sex with a child under the age of consent. The child couldn't consent. Even if the child said "ok" to it without any "pressure" it would still be legally rape.

I don't know why jord is so set on defending an admitted child rapist. Let alone why anyone is ok with letting an admitted child rapist be part of the dragon ball community.

Methinks he is adapting the preconceived misogynistic viewpoint of "she might be lying!" into this case to make himself appear less hypocritical/bigoted...

OR he is a Daman Mills simp...

Probably because of the tremendous role that he plays in this franchise, and because some people think he's too good to be replaced (his Freeza is pretty good IMO, he's my 3rd favorite voice of him, right up there with LittleKuriboh at 2nd, and Chris Ayres and Ryusei Nakao tied at my favorite)

How is saying a boy that was raped by a man is lying less bigoted

Likewise, none of those things inherently indicate innocence either.

Yes, those images could very well have been doctored, but as of now that's just speculation with no evidence to back it up.

[Saiya6Cit]

So what does this have to do with Dragonball?

I understand where the snarky nudge is coming from, but a cursory glance at other posts would pretty quickly reveal that he is the second-tier FUNimation English dub voice of Freeza for when the late Chris Ayres was unavailable to voice the character in the post-Kai productions, games and Super included.

It would, of course, behoove topic creators to drop actual, useful, comprehensive information if you choose to put yourself in the position of starting a conversation.

thanks, I was not following either....

The age of consent is 16 in Ohio. If Mills was telling the truth(I don't think he is but I'm not a court, I was not there and I don't have all the evidence) then no crime was committed in Ohio.

I thought the victim was 15

They met online when he was 15 but it sounds like Mills didn't try anything until a year late when he was 16.

I feel like you guys are getting really hung up on the age of consent thing when...the guy still alleged that he was assaulted by Mills, which doesn't go away just because he wasn't underage, and I still see no reason not to believe him.

If you thought I believed claiming a teen who was violated by an adult is a liar was not bigoted, then I suppose there was some miscommunication along the way. I was saying Jord was trying (and failing) to appear less bigoted.

I work in law enforcement. If Duncan got in touch with me, i could give him instructions on what to do.

I encourage anyone who has evidence or any victims to at least contact a tip line.
