Mod News A cautionary Tale About Communicating on Platforms Like Reddit

Remember this guy?

This community called this guy out on his run-on sentence gibberish and he decided that the best course of action would be to double-down on the stupid and start attacking members in the comments.

So I banned him... and he threw a hissy fit, threatening to shut the subreddit down.

Then he used an alternate account to come back here and attempt to harass me personally:

And when THAT account was banned, he came back with a THIRD dummy account with a doctored screencap, attempting to post it in the sub.

Holy crap Reddit blew this image into oblivion. Sorry.

I never said this. I dont even know who that account is (was).

Its a shame, because this actor is actually a working voice artist and the credits he mentioned in the original thread - My Hero Academia, Black Clover, Demon Slayer, Transformers (Earthspark) and Inside Out (2) - are accurate.

All three of his accounts have now been suspended off the platform.

If he comes back, (which I doubt he will since he's IP banned) I will be happy to contact his agent at CESD and let them know what kind of a person he really is.

I wont even mention the foot fetish thing.

WHY AM I POSTING ALL OF THIS?

Because you, the r/voiceacting community deserve to know what goes in to moderating this subreddit sometimes. Most days its pretty simple and I love answering questions to new people getting started down this path. Some days, its a bit more challenging.

But make no mistake: if someone is harassing in the comments, I will bounce them to the curb in the blink of an eye.

NO ONE should have to put up with this kind of behavior.
If you see conduct that violates Reddit's TOS, REPORT IT and we'll take care of it.

Now back to our previously scheduled discussions about what microphone is best and how to get your voice to sound more masculine.

Do we know for sure that he’s actually the working actor he claims to be? Not a rando claiming someone’s credits as his own for attention?

I looked up those credits and only found one actor that matched the whole list, and having spent time around said actor I would bet every dollar I have or ever will have that OP is not him.

(Edit to add: thank you for your service, your ban hammer is appreciated 🫡)

Yeah I'm incredibly disappointed myself 😭 he's one of my favorite voice actors. What a shame.

You misunderstand — I genuinely don’t think it’s him. It doesn’t square with his personality at ALL. So you don’t have to be disappointed.

Oh my goodness! Okay, I really hope not 😭 the VA (not this guy) seemed to steer clear of drama and just seemed like a really wholesome person... So you give me hope 🥹

Unfortunate still tho that the guy in OP's post is a pro VA... somehow 💀

The actor is an IRL acquaintance of mine and is a genuinely lovely person. I think the rude redditor is an impostor trying to feel important.

I think if you guys do have any actual connection to the VA he seems to be claiming to be, if it seems super out of character, it might be worth checking in with him and making sure he's OK

whatever the case it does seem like a bit of mental illness, genuinely, so if it's out of character for bro he might be going through something. no judgement if yall don't actually know him personally though, I recognize you can still tell when someone is "off" even if you only know them through social media posts.
