I'd always thought the worst of it was him just being too touchy feely and hugging on people and making some of them uncomfortable, not actual groping and sexual harrassment, much less full on assault. I really hope this stuff isn't true. Vic says people are just doing it for attention or whatever. Can't imagine what someone's motivation would be to make this stuff up. How much attention and possibly payday are you going to get out of going after a anime dub voice actor? There's fangirls and some guys defending him to the death on his twitter. Of course, not every interaction is going to be the same and there's no way he could get by with this if he was groping literally everybody. I heard the stories about him being a pain to deal with at conventions by staffers but thought maybe it was just some people with an axe to grind. Apparently he has been banned from some conventions. He said he took his furstrations at promises not being kept on the wrong people. I could live with him just being an asshole. There's lots of asshole entertainers we still like, like CM Punk. Well, maybe we don't like some of them so much anymore... So, the homophobic thing. Not sure what to make there. Seems overblown. Said he was told by his bosses that the character he played wasn't gay. Could see him refusing to sign fan art in general, especially if it's graphic. People have disputed this claim and said he has signed other fan art, and the yaoi fan art wasn't graphic. Who knows. The thing about conventions letting him play preacher is really fucking weird though. Not really sure what to think of this or what to believe. Guess we'll learn more soon enough. Good luck redubbing every anime with him in it, by the way. Why was he even brought back to play Broly? I thought he hated the role because of the stress it puts on his voice. Was he even Broly in the other movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Oh he'll be fine. FYI he agreed to go back to play Broly because .... that's not Broly. They recreated him for this new movie. This time Toriyama oversaw his take on the character and the voice they went with is even easier on his voice.

EmpressAngel Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have a friend who was on the receiving end of one of Vic's unwelcome kisses at a con, and even a decade ago he had a reputation for it. I can see some leeway on being over-enthusiastic with the hugs, but what fucking mindset do you have to regularly put your mouth on complete strangers without permission and think it's totally okay? If he doesn't want to sign fanart, that's perfectly understandable. If he doesn't want to sign explicit material, that's fine. But only weeding out the m/m fanart, including sfw pieces, is gross. I do think the "holocaust" comment is reeeeally stretching for something to complain about. Like, there's already tons of reports of his poor attitude and creepy behavior. Nobody needed to go looking through years-old panels to find a bad choice in phrasing to round out the cherry on this shit sundae. It just comes off as petty compared to the actual problems in the article. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Much like with Hollywood’s creepers, Vic’s issues seem like an open secret at this point. He has young impressionable girls he’s done creepy things with in the form of the Risembool Rangers. He’s gotten deeply obsessed with the notion that he directly asked CLAMP to confirm that Fai isn’t gay for him. He is deeply religious and holds sermons at cons on occasion and lets his ideas come out at points. I’m just surprised it’s catching up to him this late in the game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The1gairon Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'm kinda getting annoyed by this. Pretty much the only reason this has surfaced AGAIN is because the Broly movie came out, which he voices the title character, and someone had to go and tweet out some accusations. This is why I don't consider him part of the MeToo movement: these accusations ARE YEARS OLD, and existed before MeToo was even a THING. Also, A TON of voice actors made themselves a brigade of fans into a club like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonSinger Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I wish I could remember the exact conversation, but years back when a fan of his was telling me about the things he was doing for young female fans at cons, the specifics just sounded weird to me. At the time, no one else thought it was wonky, so I figured it was me being judgmental. Then I saw him at DragonCon. He was so touchy feely, and he came across as an old guy acting like he's in his early 20's to impress teenage girls. His fans ate it up and it felt so gross to watch. Seeing that completely turned me off of talking to other voice actors sitting near his table in the Walk of Fame room later that day because I didn't want to go near him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The style must have been toned down there. Geass, Tsubasa Chronicle and xXxholic were from what I like to call Clamp's "Slenderman" phase, all their works were drawn like like that during that era, since then their style has become much more normal again Blood-C was from the tail end of their Slenderman phase which is why it looks a bit like that but not quite as horrifically tall and Skinny and YES, Clamp is very well known for including LGBT characters in their mangas case in point Sakura's brother is gay and has a boyfriend and her best friend Tomoyo is a lesbian Edited January 28, 2019 by mochi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenoftheDorks Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Yeah I believe it all. I was on Livejournal back during the Miniskirt Army and Risembool Rangers were a thing. There were gatekeepers who made sure only certain types of people were welcomed into those groups which were heavily involved in conventions and Vic always made sure he was surrounded by them. It was super weird and off putting and I'm fucking glad Travis got the fuck out of there tbh. There is absolutely no way CLAMP told him shit about shit. Anyone who has any kind of familiarity with their work knows how they code things in their stories to include LGBT romance in their stories. (Also their art has always been weirdly proportioned. They went from airplane shoulders to noodle limbs.) He's always come across as a creepy asshole in general and from the stories I've heard he can fuck off. He's pretty much the reason I stopped watching dubs. I was out of the anime scene when the Ouran dub came out, but I can only imagine what kind of creepy shit he pulled with those fans. He was bad enough with the FMA fans without adding in an "excuse" for him to invade someone's personal space by playing up Tamaki.

I haven't had any personal interaction with him, but I've heard the stories (kissing, hugging, etc.), and all this really does is solidify my opinion that he's not a particularly great person.

Cidz Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 yeah i heard about him being a kinda pedo creep and read about it awhile ago. like 5 yrs ago or something idk. i rmb reading like articles and hearing ppls stories, and like stuff he himself has said... wasnt he tryna be a musician too or something? i still like his characters tho. i know ill be damned for saying that but i believe you can seperate a person from their work. for example i still like the cat from nine lives despite being voiced by kevin spacey. i think kevin spacey is a POS but i like the cat, he did a good job voicing the millionaire ceo turned cat. and i still like ed from FMA even tho i very well excpect chris hansen to show up at one of his panels asking him to have a seat sometime. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
