3ngag3 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) If this is, in fact, Sean himself saying these things. I mean, if this turns out to be true, this could mean the end of Dragonball on Toonami for the foreseeable future.

OwlChemist81 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Nah, I don't believe that's even possible here. They WILL finish Dragon Ball Super. Dragon Ball stuff is way too valuable to Toonami. Besides, [as] shows have always had homophobic slurs in jest. This is nothing new. I mean, Vic was in such hot water earlier this year for WAY more controversial behavior, and they let JoJo Part 4 play out, so if you think this will affect DBS, you're insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwlChemist81 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 This nonsense kinda blew up on Twitter last night. But good ol' Sketch brought up an interesting point: this is most likely NOT a new thing. At most recent, it's from the 2nd half of 2016, when the Great Saiyaman arc of DBZ Kai was being recorded. But it's a LOT more likely this is a warm-up out-take from the OG dub back in 2001. That was a different time, when Big Gay Al was a thing on South Park, and Eminem was rhyming "maggot" with "faggot". To be looked at under the lens of the LGBTQ-empowered society and post-#meToo of 2019 is rather quaint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BROTHERHOOD ended years ago, whereas the DBZ franchise is on-going with a dub premiering on TV, so people had more time to get used to hearing Sean as Goku.

No one cares that someone said a bad word 10 years ago A lot of the shit that Vic was fired over was stuff from over 10 years ago. Over a decade ago this would have just been viewed as some funny shit they'd play at a con like the Thundercats bloopers. With the metoo movement, lgbtq, Vic drama I doubt it'll just be accept as a product of it's time, or that voice actors and people have fun which isn't always in tune with today's outrage culture.

Top Gun Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yes, because it's far easier to play the head-in-sand game even about issues that are very common knowledge. The world is a terrible place for victims of sexual abuse precisely because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreHunter Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 So it's either Funimation is at fault for fostering this sort of environment for years, or Funimation isn't responsible for the actions of their staff. Really though the only people who would actually be surprised by these outtakes are outragers. Really I don't think funimation is going to do anything this time around even if the outrage does get ugly. Simply because they can't afford to have every voice actor they fire dragging them and other voice actors through the mud on their way out, and if they fire anyone over it; it's going to turn all of the staff against Monica and the gang for stirring the pot. The worst case would be Sony stepping in and demanding removal without thinking of the working relationships of the staff, and how small the pro voice acting community is. I think a side effect though of all of this, is that we'll be hearing a lot more Youtube voice actors stepping up to funimation voice actor in the next few years in a search for backup talent. Something to think about when your multi million dollar company relies on a dozen or so people that can be more prone to drama and exposure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daos Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Why do you think this has any similarity to 20 years of Vic trying to pound underage tail and aggressively trying to screw his female coworkers? The two things are not at all alike. How about some Vic stories? "Voice actor Charlotte (not her real name) confirmed to io9 that she shared her story with Funimation for its investigation. She relayed to io9 her experience, one which Mignogna denied in emailed responses to io9’s questions. Charlotte said that at a con in the late 2000s, she was getting ready to go to dinner with Mignogna and some other con guests and employees. Mignogna asked if they could stop by his room first, because he wanted to show her a video, and she agreed. Because both were in relationships—Mignogna with his now ex-fiancée Michele Specht and Charlotte with her then-boyfriend—she believed the invitation was platonic. As they watched the video, she says, Mignogna grabbed her by the arms and kissed her aggressively, including putting his tongue inside her mouth. She tried to pull away, only to have him pull her back in. She told io9 she felt scared and frozen, “like a board.” Then, things escalated. Charlotte said Mignogna backed her up to the bed and she fell down, then he got on top of her. Soon after, a friend came to check on them, and she immediately got off of the bed. “I was saved by a door knock. I can’t say what would’ve happened [otherwise]. I don’t know if I would’ve kicked his ass, or he would’ve kept [going] and I stayed frozen,” she said. “I keep waking up in the middle of the night with that panic feeling. It’s that panic, it’s that feeling I have to do something to get him away from me.” "Another guest was Orion’s Envy, a four-lady team of dancers and dance instructors that painted themselves head-to-toe in bright and glittery green, cosplaying as Orion slave girls from STAR TREK’s original series. They were completely amazing and super-fun. I’d get to see them a lot after Saturday night, because that’s when Vic grabbed one of them, pulled her down and hissed in her ear. From that moment forward, Orion’s Envy was using the ‘buddy system’ to make sure that none of them were alone in a room with him." Hey these stories sound almost exactly like that stuff Monica Rial said he did. It's almost like this guy has been using the same tactics and strategies for 20 years. This is probably all a conspiracy though. https://twitter.com/Rialisms/status/1098028342475964417/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1098028342475964417&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcomicbook.com%2Fanime%2F2019%2F02%2F21%2Fdragon-ball-super-monica-rial-vic-mignogna-allegations%2F Edited August 30, 2019 by Daos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
