It's been an open secret in the anime community for years that Vic Mignonga is a sexual harasser and to stay the gently caress away from him if you can, and Anime News Network posted a very in-depth article on all the bullshit he's done over the years that's dragged it all into the spotlight. He's been summarily dropped by every convention as a guest, and fired from his ongoing voice roles.

I had heard a while back (like when adult swim started first showing FMA) that he was a bit of a creep at a convention, but that was basically all I'd heard of him for the last what, 15 years?

I dunno why, but for some reason voice actors didn't seem to be the kinda people who'd be skeevy. I think about Kevin Conroy or mark Hamill and it's like, those guys are awesome and no one's said anything bad about em. I guess I somehow took the lack of big news about creepers in the genre to assume there were few, if any, in the career.

Dammit. I liked FMA.

Huh? So Japanese media is just like most western media?

I don't know which media you've been following, but in other European countries Paris is more likely to be described in terms of the second part of Sagebrush's post (often with xenophobic undertones). No illusions there.

Bonjour, my name is Napoléon Kobayashi. I'm a 27 year old Japanese JapFrançais (French culture fan for you foreigners). I sample fine wines and smoke at my villa, and spend my days perfecting the craft and enjoying superior French passtimes. (Wine, Smoking, Disdain of tourists) I train with my disdain every day, this superior weapon can permanently leave my villa embled on a tourist's hide because it is white-hot, and is vastly superior to any other method of foreigner scorn. I earned my smoking license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I parle français fluently, both Parisian and Marseille dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about French history and their mime code, which I follow 100% When I get my French visa, I am moving to Paris to work in a grape field to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a tourist wrangler for the Eiffel Tower or an olive oil rig operator for Au Bon Pain! I own several berets, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to France, so I can fit in easier. I blow smoke in the faces of my elders and seniors and speak French as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond. Wish me luck in France!

having (unfortunately) worked directly with him as convention staff, not only is he a creep, but he's a self-aggrandizing douchebag that honestly thinks he's leagues better than everyone

dude wore an Affliction t-shirt and Ed Hardy jeans, had frosted tips, got real pissed when we told him the panel room didn't have lighting controls beyond on/dim/off, got even more pissed when I told him I wasn't gonna get hotel staff to open the door in the back of the room so he could do a little loving run-up to the stage when he was introduced, you couldn't make a more aggravating shitlord in a lab dedicated to it

also he recorded and sold a CD of him reading bible verses as Edward Elrick lmao

Paris is a fun dirty drunk chainsmoking kind of city where you can smell dogshit everywhere and you can feel the history ooze out of the pavement, especially when the heat makes the pavement ooze all kinds of nasty poo poo that's gathered there during the centuries. Everything is crowded, everything is cramped and putain merde it's supposed to be that way, if you don't like it then casse-toi ! I always love to go for a visit and I'm always glad when I finally get out of there.

I can't even imagine how it must come off if you've believed all your life that it's a place where Ghibli movies actually are filmed, lol

He's basically survived on the fact that there's never really been anything definitive nailing him to the wall in public until now (to my knowledge), just a whole lot of second-hand hearsay and ugly stories floating around the general fan community that paint a very ugly picture of him. ANN did everyone a favour with that article and it was well past due.

Anime VA's are also a pretty tight-knit bunch (it's not like there's all that many of them, after all, and not to suggest they'd defended/protected him, quite the contrary in fact), so Vic's career is about as dead as it can get.

They've also reputedly been trying to clean up their act a bit, and the Vic Mignogna article was part of that general push.

It's because they are old and out of touch and their image of a gross loser is based on their high school anime club back in the 00s, same with the fixation on fedoras and neckbeards and trench coats. Even the My Little Pony reference is like half a decade out of date at this point.

Not sure who got it from who or if it came from a third party, but I was at a Knicks game last weekend (my first ever and wow they are as bad as you'd expect) and I swear they played the exact beat from TLO roll call.

VVV like most everyone here a river of "viral" content has washed over me through the years, and TLO roll call is one of the ~20 things I will still revisit now and then. I watched it that night after the game.
