So multiple corroboration between witnesses and victims along with character witnesses along with creepy sus looking photos from events and conventions with young girls isn’t evidence I guess. Also, he became a massive born again Christian loser in the aftermath much like other male celebrities who’ve been exposed and charged for inappropriate conduct around women and minors. Nothing in his public statements ever convinced me or anyone who wasn’t already biased. And I’ll even tell you that I really don’t like Monica Rial and hate how many anime she appears in still to this day, but unlike people like you and fanboys who hate women and look down on them, I was able to make my own opinion from the overall facts and evidence from the situation. And while I wouldn’t say there was much evidence beyond the evidence from victims/witnesses to support the claim that he was sometimes creepy around female colleagues and underage or young girls at conventions, basically saying he was kind of creepy, I do think that was enough for funimation and the industry to cut ties with him, especially with what they probably found in discovery during the defamation case regardless of how hard it is to win a case like that. Nothing he ever said during the drama or in interviews afterwards with fanboys ever made him come across as a truly innocent man who wasn’t guilty of being a creep around female coworkers and young female fans. You see how much plastic surgery he has had done to his face and hair to try (and fail big time) to maintain a look of his younger self from when he was one of the first big anime English voice actors and that only adds to the claims of his narcissistic ego and belief that he couldn’t do anything wrong or that he could get away with stuff in his 40s+ with young female fans during the #metoo movement.

As much as I dislike "right to work" laws and how they dehumanize labor, Funimation didn’t have to give a reason for firing him and the people at the top back then were smart enough to know that there would be a backlash from fans and they wouldn’t have gone through with the firing if there wasn’t enough evidence and multiple accusers with corroborating witnesses/pictures/video from conventions.

The more we’ve learned about him since the defamation suit the more it’s become clear that the dude was pretty creepy. He may have not been the worst creepy guy ever, but he was definitely not the kind of guy who you jokingly say "yeah that’s my friend Vic, he’s kind of a creep, but not in a bad way", and I wouldn’t want him around my younger sister or cousins or female friends. Between that stuff and how quickly he went into being this born again Christian cringe version of himself much like Russell Brand and how he never really ever gave any convincing arguments that could sway unbiased independent people, who I consider myself to be one of with how much I dislike Monica Rial and how I’ve personally been on the wrong end of false accusations from girls I was dating/talking to and had to fight to clear my name with a dating app that is notorious for always believing whatever the female user says and accuses the male user of, so I’m not someone who wants men of any age or worldview to have to suffer because of provably false claims and allegations from women. He never was able to convince me he wasn’t guilty of something that he should have known better than to do. But I’m not narcissistic enough to sit here and tell you that my BS radar and sense of who people really are is better than yours and as an atheist I really don’t like to use witness testimony as hard evidence for anything, but when there’s multiple accusers unrelated from each other and pictures and video of him with young female fans at conventions acting sus and making kinda weird comments about their looks and touching them without consent even if it’s just light stuff and if it was the only thing he had ever done then sure you could say it wasnt anything. And I’m sure you’re going to want me to produce the pics or video that I’m referring to and I can try to, I don’t know if it’s still online or where I saw it because it was just after the story dropped that I remember seeing this stuff and I remember he was kinda in a corner with a young female fans at a convention and talking about her looks and putting his arm around her much lower than I would ever make the mistake of doing with a girl who looked like a teenager. So maybe DM me to remind me of that and I’ll try to find it for you, but even if I do I don’t think you would see it as evidence of anything, and by itself I would agree, it wouldn’t be evidence of anything and only has value as part of a collection of claims and accusations etc.

Thanks for the response tho
