FUNimation Cuts Ties with Voice Actor Vic Mignogna over Sexual Harassment Allegations

For over a decade, rumors of scummy activity at conventions have followed voice actor Vic Mignogna. Behavior ranging from sexual harassment of female guests, being a homophobic fundamentalist Christian diva (with sprinklings of anti-Semitism), and overall egotistical/jackass stunts. His behavior has been rumored and whispered about for many years, but those whispers are now becoming shouts



-Inappropriately kissing/hugging underage girls by surprise (photos at the source)
-Giving his number to 15-year-olds
-Implying he could convert a Jewish fan to Christianity because they weren't buying his Christian CDs
-Taunting a victim of sexual assault

Numerous victims have come out and shared their stories of being sexually harassed by Mignogna as well as other voice actors and cosplayers who are regulars in the convention circuit.

Voice Actress Monica Rial says she has had an unpleasant experience with Mignogna

"So the part about Vic. The guy who raped me told everyone at an anime company I regularly worked with that we had fucked and that I was a con slut. He also told Vic. I played nice with Vic a lot because of my position in the community. At this point though, I had seen him be really shitty to people and staffers and knew he wasn't a good person. I ran into him at a con and said hi. We started chatting for a little bit and a couple fans ran up. I went to walk away, but he grabbed my arm and wouldn't let me leave. At one point, one of the fans starts talking about a series that he's in. I said that I actually really liked his role in it, I didn't even realize it was him (making a comment on how all his roles usually sound the same). He turns to me and says, "Oh I know why you like that series." He then slides his hand up through my hair (which was long at the time) on the back of my hair and tugs hard while saying "Because of _______." I was stunned. My heart sank. A friend ran over (there were a lot of witnesses) and asked if she needed to take me away. I just didn't even know how to respond. And if that wasn't bad enough HE DID IT A SECOND TIME with the implication that if the other voice actor had "had" me, he could too. I RAN off in tears. Called a friend of mine in said anime company and told him that if Vic ever touched me again, I would kick him in the balls, I didn't care who I was working for.

I know this will probably tarnish me getting invited to cons. It's why I started moving away from working for anime companies. I've become really good at ignoring shitty people over the years. But it is long past time that this comes out to light. Maybe one day I'll be strong enough to name the other one."

And now various conventions and businesses have cut ties with him. Of note is FUNimation for which Mignogna just provided the voice in their dub of the surprise hit Drag Ball Super: Broly film. They are also one of the biggest companies to dub and distribute anime.





Several other voice actors have shown support for the #KickVic campaign and shown support for Mignogna's victims

“We’re at a time in music where all of these lines are being blurred. Now we’re able to break through what we thought hip-hop music was or pop music was and kind of ignore all of those. [Ariana’s] allowed to fuse everything. I think it’s important. It’s important to fuse all of these things to really bring us together, so we can look left and right at these award shows and see different kinds of artists.”

Do you feel old yet? Final Fantasy VIII was released in Japan on February 11, 1999. While the game is controversial with fans, it received critical acclaim. It grossed more than $50 million in the first 13 weeks of release, making it the fastest selling Final Fantasy game of all time. More than 6 million copies were sold by the end of 1999.

Since then, the opening cutscene (below) was ranked second on Game Informer's list of "Top 10 Video Game Openings", and was rated the best by IGN. Readers of the Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu voted it the 22nd best video game of all time in 2006.

Authors React to a Gentrified House in the Bay Area

A local Bay Area's tweet about a renovated house caught some traction among SFF authors on twitter. This renovation has been a passion project for the San Francisco house flipper who purchased it, but people online aren't so impressed with the final exterior results (no word about the interior updates though) and are seeing it as yet another nail in the Bay Area's gentrification problem.

Blue Wang (the house flipper) on gutting and renovating the house: "I'm the kind of person who pays a lot of attention to details. You walk into this house versus another house that's on the market and it's not going to be the same because of all the details I gave a lot of thought to. I wanted to go in and do this house justice. It has been standing for 120 years. I wanted to make sure to put form, function and quality at the forefront."

Others are taking issues with how stripped of its character the new house is.

Figure Skating: 2019 Four Continents Championships

Four Continents, the last major senior event prior to the World Championships, has come and gone (keeping yours truly up until 3 AM for a few days in a row). In three disciplines, the heavy favourites were behind after the short program but pulled through. And then there was the fourth discipline.




In the men's event, we had what is probably the best final flight of the entire year (we'll be lucky if Worlds is this good). Shoma Uno, in fourth place after the short and skating with an injury, somehow delivered his best free program in two years to break the silver curse and claim his first major international title.



Jin Boyang of China won the silver medal, recovering from a really rough Grand Prix season, though the choice to rock out to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" remains a weird one.

In fourth place, and robbed of the bronze medal due to an inexplicably lenient technical panel in the short program that let Vincent Zhou get away with underrotating all his jumps, was Keegan Messing, who delivered the best free skate of his entire career. He got a small bronze medal for the free skate, at least.



In the ladies' event, what has been the story for most of the season happened again: frontrunner Rika Kihira popped her triple Axel in the short program, ending up in fifth place. Then she won the free skate, and the title overall, because as long as she gets one triple Axel she's all but unbeatable. Super Rika is now the heavy favourite going into the home World Championships in Saitama. Boy, will that be high pressure.



Excuse the somewhat jerky video on this next one; it's presently the only one available (it's rocky right now for FS videos on YouTube; many old and famous channels have been swept away).



Anyway, the unexpected silver medalist was Elizabet Tursynbaeva of Kazakhstan, who YOLO'd a quad Salchow attempt in the beginning, got the rotation and fell on her butt, but still got up and did the rest of the program fine. Hers is only the fifth Four Continents medal in the 21-year history of the event for a skater not from Canada, China, Japan or the United States.

The bronze medalist was Mai Mihara of Japan, who rose from eighth in the short, aided by all of the top three from the short program (Bradie Tennell, Kaori Sakamoto, and Mariah Bell) falling off the podium due to errors. Sakamoto's was an especial heartbreaker moment, as she ended up only about a point off the podium after losing a whole jump combination.

In the pairs event, basically everybody had called this in advance for Sui Wenjing and Han Cong, the 2018 Olympic silver medalists and 2017 World Champions, who sat out the whole first half of the season because of injury recuperation for Sui (a chronic problem). And they did win the end, but they came second in the short program and were vulnerable in the free because, unfortunately, while Sui Wenjing is a marvelous overall skater and performer, she is not a very good jumper, falling on two of the team's three side-by-side jumps. But the rest is so good.



The team they almost lost to were, somewhat incredibly, Canada's Kirsten Moore-Towers and Michael Marinaro, who skated the two best programs of their career, and came only 0.07 points in the free short of victory, all of which are accounted for by a lift that didn't quite work as planned (Marinaro is not a very good lifter). I can't find their short program anywhere, which is too bad, because it was the better of the two programs, but the free is fun enough. And they claimed their first major international medal (Kirsten won the silver here six years ago with her previous partner).



In third were Peng Cheng and Jin Yang, while American champions Ashley Cain and Timothy LeDuc were fourth. The fifth through eighth teams all had very depressing skates.

And finally, the 21st annual US-Canada dance-off, where frontrunners Madison Hubbell and Zach Donohue led the rhythm dance and looked set to win the free too, but after an agonizingly long wait that portended something amiss, they lost over seven points in their technical mark due to lost levels (principally on a stationary dance lift that wasn't remotely stationary) and ended up in fourth place.

The winners were their American compatriots and fellow Gadbois academy trainees (actually, seven of the twelve teams here train at Gadbois in Montreal, ironically not including two of the three Canadian teams) Madison Chock and Evan Bates. Chock/Bates just moved to Montreal after a very disappointing Olympics, and really do feel like a fresh new team. Bates, especially, has never looked better.



In second place overall were Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje, who had previously won both gold and bronze twice here, this being their first silver.



And in third, my favourite result of the entire event, were Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, who were second in the free dance with what is for me an all-time great program, their "Vincent" tribute to Van Gogh. This is their first major medal in their now seven seasons competing on the international stage, other than a silver at this event in the 2014 season when all the big teams didn't go because they had tickets to the Olympics instead.



Sometimes quality wins out, even if it takes Zach Donohue fucking up to make it happen.

  • During a Waiting to Exhale cast interview on Oprah Winfrey's talk show in 1995, Whitney said that she and her The Bodyguard character are nothing alike: "Rachel and I are not the same because if you told me somebody was trying to kill me-you got to tell me once, and that's it!"
  • Another clip includes a 2009 moment, again with Oprah Winfrey, where Whitney was asked if Bobby (Brown) knew about an interview she did. Whitney's nonverbal response to Oprah's question "Are you worried about that call?" (from Bobby) had the audience cracking up.

Best New Artist nominee Bebe Rexha expressed her disappointment to not winning the award. Rexha was also nominated for best country duo/group performance for her song, "Meant to Be" but lost in that category as well. She explained that because everyone kept telling her how many records "Meant To Be" broke, she expected a win. "But We lost a CMA, Billboard, Vma, Grammy. Zilch," she tweeted.

Days ago, Rexha snapped on a crowd she was performing for because no one was singing along to "Meant To Be." She yelled at the crowd, "I worked too hard for this moment... You’re going to sing the fucking words if you know the fucking song."
