Popular English anime and video game voice actress gets mad when a woman on twitter doesn't buy into assault allegations without proof, says that she will change her tune when she eventually gets assaulted herself.
1 2019-02-07 by letumblrfaec
Ms. Winn Lee is currently in the act of trying to do damage control, spamming the following in response:
I phrased it wrong and I’m sorry. Of course I don’t wish assault on her. I meant all women are harassed at some point and when it happens to her I hope she finds compassion. That’s. All.
Twitter continues to be the place where promising careers are ended thanks to public displays of idiocy.

I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

What else is new?

Someone give me a TL:DR of the voice actor drama.

VA of Junpei Iori/Edward Elric, Vic Mignogna, is being unjustly accused of sexual assault, homophobia, and racism. It’s complete bullshit due to the fact that the “sexual assault” is just Vic being overly-friendly in his interactions (hugging them, kissing them on the forehead, etc) with the people claiming assault not once informing him of his behavior during so, even smiling and enjoying interacting with him at the cons. The homophobic and racist rumors are BS as well, with a clear example being a video of Vic defending some gay people against Westboro Baptist church wannabes.
Every VA that’s throwing Vic under the bus is a guaranteed shill who’re just doing it for positive attention, which really suck bc they’re amazing at their jobs.

Unironically this
Only "proof" people have are rumors that have been around for some time that he's supposedly creepy or rude, these are all anonymous rumors of course
I think it's important to keep in mind the kind of dumpster fire ANN is considering they're the ones leading the smear campaign
1 Hayteez 2019-02-07
ANN?
As in the web news site or something else?
1 SNCommand 2019-02-07
Anime news network yes, hive of woke weeks, so a fairly toxic mix
1 DrZerglingMD 2019-02-07
So whats the TL;DR of this whole ANN spilling out all this shit on Vic to deflect from issues in their own house or w.e?
1 Hayteez 2019-02-07
Don’t know the full thing with ANN, but it seems like they’re doing it as a deflection from one of their members whose a pedo or something.
A ton of their screenshots/ “evidence” are just either false statements, over exaggerations, and photoshop.
1 DrZerglingMD 2019-02-07
Yeah, I managed to do a little digging after all this and jesus. Every picture I've seen of the guy is completely fucking innocent and almost every single girl looks like she's gonna pass out from joy. Rappers do worse shit in photos.
But for real, can we make a petition that says females need to be at minimum 3 feet away from male celebritys and VA's during meet and greets? The amount of salty tears of double standards would be hilarious, but I bet sexual assault/harassment accusations would drop exponentially.
1 imaginarycreatures 2019-02-07
One of ANN's contributors, a guy by the pseudonym "Hazukari", was recently me-too'd. In response, they pretty much eliminated every mention of him on the site. Speculation by some is that they decided to go hard on the Vic story right now in response, presumably to show that they aren't the only people in the anime biz employing sex pests.
1 DrZerglingMD 2019-02-07
What the fuck is it with anime, hollywood and silicon valley that attracts so many pedo fucks to their ranks?
1 letumblrfaec 2019-02-07
It gets the noggin joggin' when you realize that ANN decided to kick up this dirt up only after a close buddy of the staffers got nailed for being a typical male feminist.
1 DrZerglingMD 2019-02-07
Male celebs of all category's just need to stop doing any meet and greets with women or be in a bubble suit with no working arms at this point. This right here is why Ninja doesn't hang out with female streamers and Pence doesn't go anywhere alone with a woman that's not related to him.
1 Hayteez 2019-02-07
“There’s an anti-female problem in the VA industry, and here’s why”
1 DrZerglingMD 2019-02-07
Doesn't help theres valid screenshots of people(aka female VA's) making suggestions on how to photoshop pictures even worse. How do these dipshits not realize they're conspiring to falsify evidence in a public forum?
1 RollBread 2019-02-07
One must learn from the master.
1 OniTan 2019-02-07
So who accused him of molestation? Who was the person Amanda was arguing with?
1 Hayteez 2019-02-07
Some random/unrelated people to Amanda

Here's a bunch of links showing the false accusations, with some of them being photo-shopped/outed by the people in the photos of being unrepresentative of them (with them supporting Vic)
Amanda was arguing with one of the people who were saying that you shouldn't believe a baseless claim, I'm pretty sure.
1 OniTan 2019-02-07
I like how he's being portrayed as a pervert, but another strike against him is he won't sign gay porn.
1 DrZerglingMD 2019-02-07
1 Hayteez 2019-02-07
I don’t think any self-respecting person would want to be able to search their own name up and find autographed porn of themself.
1 DrZerglingMD 2019-02-07
Can't Vic/the people in the photos take the photoshoppers to court over making falsified shit like this?
1 Hayteez 2019-02-07
Defamation, yea
Vic’s already said in a discord convo that he’s suing for it.
1 Pepperglue 2019-02-07
Good thing I don't play games in dub.
1 Elinim 2019-02-07
Literally hyenas fighting for scraps. Being the highest paid VA is like the equivalent pay of being an entry level IT slave.
1 OniTan 2019-02-07
What the fuck is everyone talking about? Who molested who? Who was defeinding the alleged molester?
1 XhotwheelsloverX 2019-02-07
Lol that was NOT accidental
1 SoldierofNod 2019-02-07
This is why I prefer subs.
1 tHeSiD 2019-02-07
#metoo
The emotions are are diluted and seem fake in dubs
1 leva549 2019-02-07
Mayos just can't manage the squeaky high pitched squealing needed for the authentic product.
1 Elinim 2019-02-07
Lmao imagine watching trash dubs over superior subs.
They should learn from the Japs and never report their rapes.
1 Ghdust2 2019-02-07
Lmao imagine watching weebshit at all.
1 Wraith_GraveSpell 2019-02-07
Weebs get OUT OUT OUT.
take your pedo shit with you.
1 TheLastCrawler 2019-02-07
you need to go back
1 Ghdust2 2019-02-07
you need to go back, child rapist scum.
1 TheLastCrawler 2019-02-07
you need to go further back
1 tHeSiD 2019-02-07
calm down guys, find a middle ground! is cub porn ok for the both of you?
1 TheLastCrawler 2019-02-07
I'm not a furry pr a discord trust and safety employee, so I don't like cub porn.
1 cheers_grills 2019-02-07
It was a yes or no question.
1 TheLastCrawler 2019-02-07
No
1 Wraith_GraveSpell 2019-02-07
You need to go back to prison. Does your probation officer know you are peddling pedo paraphernalia?
1 TheLastCrawler 2019-02-07
I'll never be in prison. I don't have a reason at all to harass women/children.
Why?
Because they are inferior to anime.
You have to go back to whatever shithole you came from.

Damn, was betting on Runkachunk before opening the link.
1 JohannesClimaco 2019-02-07
lol I got sexually assaulted and I still believe in allegations without proof. Maybe I will change my tune when I get raped.
1 Cyberjynx 2019-02-07
Weebacide when?
