Heh, for the people who accuse Black Clover of being generic, they should've seen Blue Exorcist!

You're one of those people who can dish it out but can't take it. You're coming off like a hypocrite when you accused me of "bullying" you in that other thread. I mean, you don't exactly come off as normal yourself. An Aspie bullying Aspies! WAAAAAH HOW COULD YOU, POKE! And I don't "attempt to come off as normal" or anything else. I simply be myself. I'm not going to ragequit for your or anyone else, either.

Kirito has been fairly consistent as a character. Not sure what contradictions you are talking about. Well, there are still characters I liked in HxH, like Kurapika and Leorio, but I would describe it like some of the Naruto characters I like - good characters trapped in a bad show. I don't care much for Killua but I can see what they were going for with him, at least. That isn't what you said, though. You said "even Hisoka isn't really bad." Hisoka does more or less make sense as a character, but what you said didn't. Gon is the one that doesn't make sense, and the overall world itself. Well, we're supposed to be talking about Black Clover and My Hero Academia, anyway. =3

So it is a gag! See, that's not helping your case! Their purpose is to stop someone some speaking, and possibly make it difficult to breathe. And it doesn't look very breathable to me. "Kinkshaming?" If you're going to throw that stuff out there and expect not to be made fun of or criticized, I don't know what you're thinking. Like I said, this isn't some porn forum or fetish site. No one wants to hear about that shit, especially when it's that bizarre. I do remember the the old days, when the craziest stuff we knew about were the BDSM folks or the foot fetish people. Now, with the internet, everyone for some reason feels the need to put all this stuff out there, and in inappropriate venues, no less. Now we gotta hear about all this demented shit. Bullying "Aspies?" Please. You have to admit being so obsessed with content ratings is really fucking weird. I would call that into question regardless of whether you had Asperger's or not. And I don't care for the term "Aspie," personally. "Hope we don't meet in real life." Now you're starting to sound like Zeni LOL. And I hadn't planned on it anyway.

I remember a thread about this or discussion of this cropped up on the old Lithium ASMB... it was YEARS ago. It was about Vic being a diva and getting too touchy feely with fans. Now I've learned he's also seemingly homophobic. The not signing it because it's "not canon" or because it's fan art or whatever doesn't hold water, either, since he signed a fan art of someone's original character with Edward. So, he lied about that. Well, he doesn't force people to pray and praise Jesus, from what I understand, but somehow he got the conventions to give him time to do these church sermon things on Sunday, which is just really fucking weird. Someone posted a video of one in that thread I linked that is awkward as fuck to watch. And I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't carry around Starbucks cups, Vic!

Oh yeah, the Risembool Rangers. It sounds more and more like a fucking cult. He's asked his fan club members to go out and defend his good name. And apparently his own mother is a member of the club and holds the title of "Matriarch." So Vic called his mom on people!

Yeah, and also Todd doesn't even like Vic. When the Adam from the Jesse Pridemore story decided to tell his side of what he saw, he posted screenshots of a conversation he had with Todd and he rips Vic and they talk about Vic's behavior. Yugh.

This was Demarco's take on things. https://ask.fm/Clarknova/answers/152277838057 I can't believe he hasn't been following what's going on. He doesn't seem too concerned that Vic is playing a role in one his shows currently airing, either, even if it is a minor role. And I get the whole separate the art from the artist thing, but it's tough for me. It's one thing to say, stop supporting them because you think that might help them hurt more people, but say that's not a factor because the person gets their royalties cut off, is re-cast, dies, or you just pirate it, whatever, it's hard to get that stuff out of your head while you're consuming the media. I don't think I'd ever be able to read or what Rurouni Kenshin again, for that reason. Also the fact of a creator/writer over just one actor. At least the stuff Vic was prominent in I wasn't planning on re-watching again any time soon anyway. He's mostly in minor roles these days, and it makes me wonder if that was intentional. I also read on that one forum that maybe Vic was cast as the tentacle slug in SAO as a way to take a shot at him or make fun of. I dunno about that, but it wouldn't surprise me. But couple that with Todd playing Oberon... just... oof. As for Todd, it seems a lot more muddy with the situation going on with him. There's no huge history of past behavior (that we've heard of yet,) seemingly just this one incident, which sounds to me like it could have been consensual, and maybe Todd felt it was and Jesse Pridemore thought it wasn't. Not so sure what to think of that yet, but it's still going to be make it distracting to watch things with him in it. I still have a good amount of Fairy Tail episodes to binge. I was actually skeptical of him playing Natsu from the start, not because of experience with the sub, since I never saw it, but because Todd's voice is extremely distinctive and, well, kind of annoying, so I wasn't so keen on him playing one of the leads of a series, especially a long-runner. I could switch to the sub, but I really prefer dubs. You can just sit back and enjoy everything and not have to worry about missing onscreen action because you're reading. Maybe others are better at it than I am, but I've always had an issue there. I do see the perspective of consuming things in their original form, but I have trouble watching things subbed, as I said, and I just look at it as like a different cast for a play. Now, I think dubs really don't work for live action and comes off cheesy, plus you are removing part of someone's performance as opposed to just switching actors. Maybe it's ok for cheesy kaiji and martial arts movies, but that's about it. Heh, if I hadn't dragged my feet, I'd already be all the way through the dubbed episodes and have no choice to watch subbed now! *sigh*

That's kind of it, but I wouldn't say just having sex while drunk is considered rape. Maybe you make a bad decision in that state that you regret, but I wouldn't consider that rape. If someone was drunk to the point they passed out, then yes. But yeah, Todd considered the thing consensual. That name he gave wasn't generic apparently and was that person's actual name, and that guy gave his side of things. He said he felt like he was a bad friend that night for letting the girl drink so much. Links - https://mobile.twitter.com/neumaverick/status/1091106085006524416 Well, looks like Todd deleted his previous posts and says he shouldn't have responded the way he did. This is what he's posted now - Edit - Now I see she said she was unconscious. *throws hands up* If that's true, then it's definitely rape. So, there is more difference in the two sides of the story than I originally knew/thought. Even less sure what to think now. Edit 2 - The underage girl in that other story was underage in the terms she was 20, so one year too young to drink. So yeah.

Other voice actors are chiming in, people that would know Vic personally, so I don't think there's any reason to doubt any of this. Especially when there's photographic evidence and testimonials. Apparently Sean Schemmel is liking #kickVic tweets, and Stephanie Sheh shared this ANN article, which is well done - https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-01-30/far-from-perfect-fans-recount-unwanted-affection-from-voice-actor-vic-mignogna/.142212 A lot of the Vic stuff is being cataloged in this thread on this forum, and the thread for the ANN article. Besides just the overly touchy feely stuff, someone claimed that Vic tried to rape her at his house, getting as far as getting on top of her with his shirt off, before she escaped. This was before the VA days when he was mostly doing Christian stuff and the church he was with didn't want to rock the boat by looking into it or doing anything about it apparently. And another girl said Vic put his hand up her skirt on an elevator at an anime convention.

At least this means less opportunities for them to reanimate the corpse of Bebop. Anyway, since the front part already got chopped off, and these were just reruns, I don't think this will affect acquisitions too much.

TOONAMI IS DYING!

More toxic now? I dunno about that. I think people have mellowed. Maybe I'm just not going to the right places.

Lol wtf. As a joke I hope, and not trying to hit him.

Yeah seems like he's really deluding himself here. I'm not familiar with the series, but to confidentally claim that character isn't gay... And as I unferstand it CLAMP often includes gay characters in their work? This isnt highly pertinent, but I still don't like their art style. Body proportions way off there. Too tall an slender, heads too small. Think they did the Code Greass art too. The style must have been toned down there.

Well now it's not the show. You're contradicting yourself. First you said Hisoka isn't really bad, now you say he's almost always treated as a terrible person. I just remember people talking about how special Gon was and how much potential he has. There's lots of shonens with well-developed side characters. The Zoldyck house is on a celebrity house tour... Killua is strung up in chains being tortured by his brother. But Killua acts unimpressed and then it turns out he could just get out of the chains on his own all along. Togashi is clearly going for some LOL WACKY ANIME JOKES there, but we're still supposed to believe Killua has had an abusive upbringing and his family are monsters, even though he no-sells the torture and the whole thing is treated like a wacky sitcom. Trying to have his cake and eat it too. It's one thing to have villains with a comedic bent, but to treat their actual terrible deeds like comic relief... "KILLUA IS BORED AND UNIMPRESSED BY HIS ROUTINE TORTURE LOLOLOLOL"

No that's not it. I just don't like HxH's execution, or lack thereof. The world doesn't make sense, and, at the very least, the characters aren't appealing.

Yeah, even if he isn't a full-on predator, it sounds like he's definitely done some jerkish, creepy, and weird things.

When will the order be given for the filler to be ended?

Ew indeed. Well, at least there was a human involved in your gif...

Doesn't look like Midnight winking to me. More like she can't keep both eyes open out of weakness. And that mask isn't far removed from a gag. Maybe it would be easier to tell if it wasn't shrunk and cropped and turned into an icon/avatar, but from what I can see it's not looking too good. Also just as a general comment, that art is kinda cringey. I get really engrossed in my hobbies and interests, but they're actual already existing hobbies that most people wouldn't find unusual, even if some are fairly niche - anime, videogames, wrestling, Star Wars, model trains, model making, tropical fish, history, science, paleontology, space exploration/astronomy, hiking and biking, etc. Being so obsessed with content ratings is like collecting staples. Not staplers, because I wouldn't doubt that there's people who collect staplers, but just the actual staples themselves. That's like fucking Rain Man autistic. I think the longest conversations I've heard is what ratings movies used to get for such and such content and what they can get away with now. Or people complaining about the WWE going PG and that's why the content was so sanitized for a while, even though you can get away with quite a bit with that rating, which they are showing from time to time, however selectively. But I can't think of too many people thoroughly cataloging them.

You mean to tell us... new... users tried to sign up here?

I think she said she didn't have to use it when she was asleep.

Are you trying to appeal to Gauche with that gif?!

Gordon LOL. Who is this guy?!
