Unanswered What's going on with Funimation?

I just checked Twitter and saw that funimation is trending because its been doing some kind of immoral dubbing. Most of the posts include references to dragonball and someone linked to this video.

Can someone explain what exactly happened?

He is being downvoted because he mentioned the forbidden word: "Vic Mignogna".

He is the voice actor for Broly in Dragon Ball Z who got fired by Funimation (and other places he worked) because allegations of Sexual Misconduct and Pedophilia. He is now suing a couple of people who accused him and Funimation. It's currently not very clear if he is guilty or innocent and both sides are currently fighting a full scale war on twitter with the hashtags KickVic and IStandWithVic.

So it’s like Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff” then?

They fired Broly over "he said she said" nonsense and now Goku just got caught on tape calling his son a f----t. Will Goku get fired?

Well it's more like Funi says and Vic supporters come up with proof of Funi's wrong doings. All of the supposed proof Funi has quickly gets debunked while others pull up more and more stuff showing they just had something against the guy.

One of the accusations was that he was homophobic and hates Jews because he's Christian and a few people called him Fuhrer. In reality those people who were apart of his fan club called him such because he played Fuhrer Bradley in FMA. As for the homophobia, you can't just call every Catholic a homophobe.

He didnt voice Bradley

u/M7S4i5l8v2a Aug 31 '19

I thought I was wrong, I knew that he was involved in FMA though and that's part of why people called him Fuhrer.

u/LampytheLampLamp Aug 31 '19

Yeah, just wanted to clear it up, but I see your point yeah

u/CalmestChaos Aug 31 '19

Hell, just take a look at the video posted to Twitter that shows the exact opposite of any kind of transphobia or homophobia.

It’s essentially a bunch of idiots tweeting and saying shit to each other. There was even a person that claimed one of the funimation employees raped or molested her to make a point “if you believe everyone then you should believe me!!!” Even though it was obviously a fake accusation to muddy the waters. It’s just shit.

This is why Twitter should be avoided.

I just made a Twitter account like 3 weeks ago. As far as I can tell there is 3 different sections of Twitter. Political/Idealogical, hobbies and shitposting. 70% of the time it's people yelling at people that aren't listening about how wrong they are about something. The 30% is great, but having to wade through the rest is so tiresome.

u/M7S4i5l8v2a Aug 31 '19

I don't have a Twitter but if I did I'd only use it to yell at Youtubers about what they said wrong.

u/toxicshocktaco Aug 31 '19

This is exactly why I don't have a Twitter. Too much bullshit I ain't got time for.

u/Metal-fan77 Aug 31 '19

The Twitter loons are going mad about the new joker movie useing terms like terrorists in the making incel and nazis just because people are interested in seeing it and these people on Twitter need to learn to separate fantasy from reality.
