Vic Mignogna’s Misconduct: The Visual Evidence & More
Reasons why you should sign this petition to have Vic Mignogna removed from the Free! English dub casting:
1. Vic admits to refusing to sign homoromantic pieces of art depicting characters he’s voiced in this video. Someone pro-LGBTQIA or at least tolerant of homosexuality wouldn’t discriminate between art depicting straight or gay relationships.
2.Vic said: “yaoi fans are desperate for attention.”
3.Vic dodges question about whether he agrees with gay marriage. Apparently gay marriage is only okay if everyone has voted for it.
4.Vic desperately tries to deny that two characters (one which he has voiced) are gay by lying about his ability to speak Japanese. He also assumes gay relationships can only be sexual. Clamp is a Japanese manga-artist group that seeks to normalise gay relationships and TVtropes lists many reasons why Fai/Kurogane can be interpreted as a gay relationship, making comparisons with gay couples within Clamp’s canon.
5. While some gay fans have reported that Vic’s been professional with them, others have been disappointed by Vic’s homophobia. One fan reports that Vic called him and his boyfriend a ‘disappointment from God.'
6. Video of Vic saying he made a Holocaust joke and refused to apologise. Got offended when a fan called him anti-Jewish.
7. Youtube videos of Vic kissing under-age girls without asking how old they are.
8.Video of Vic behaving in a flirtatious/sexual manner toward an under-aged girl. The scene they are acting out is one that originally takes place between two teenagers in Ouran High School Host Club. Vic is a fifty-two-year-old man.
9. Picture of Vic kissing a girl who clearly doesn’t want Vic’s attention.
10. A blog that documents the experiences of anonymous under-aged girls who have been sexually assaulted by Vic and other people’s negative (or sometimes positive) experiences with the voice actor.
11. Another extremely detailed account of Vic groping fan girls and getting into a fight.
12. One of the ex-moderators of Vic’s fan club ‘Risembool’ Rangers said he invited her to his room when she as under-age. She wouldn’t be the first person to say this.
13. Another character description from a person who used to know Vic.
14. A journalist who has friends inside Funimation lists the reasons why Vic is one of the most hated voice actors working for the company.
1. You cannot interact physically/sexually or have sex with a minor even if they consented. A teacher will back up this statement.
2. Being uncomfortable with homosexuality does make you homophobic. You can’t say you like gay people and then choose to treat their sexuality as something offensive because that has real life negative consequences for gay people.
3. Holocaust jokes are wrong as told by a Jewish man.
4. Only 2 percent of rape allegations turn out to be false.
5. This post is not defamation because a lot of criticisms about Vic are based on videos/images documenting his behaviour. For legal reasons I’m neither confirming or denying that all the allegations against Mignogna are true, but personally I find it hard to believe that all these people are lying.
3. Inform FUNimation of their employee’s misconduct through twitter @FUNimation.
4. Reblog this post so others can be made aware of Vic’s behaviour and avoid him at conventions.
Please hold celebrities accountable for their actions and put the safety of under-aged female and gay fans first. Vic shouldn’t be allowed to be a member of the Free! cast or attend conventions if he poses a threat to minors, who are Free!’s target audience. FUNimation can hire whomever they want, but they should take the welfare of their consumers and customers into consideration when hiring staff. Mignogna’s behaviour should at least be investigated to show due diligence.
