And like I said, Rooster Teeth ignored people's complaints and accusations when they first hired him back in Volume 3, but now, something has changed. Yes. What changed is that the accusations spiked again in a worse time.. People now are far more sensitive than they were in 2015, far more easy to get triggered, far more willing to jump on the bandwagon than think twice about things, and corporations have no spine anymore, even AAA ones. Even big companies like Sony are bending the knee.

The accusations being "consistent" for 10 years doesn't matter shit in terms of whether any of it is true or not. What matter are the initial accusations and initial evidence. Once the snowball gets rolling, it will keep rolling and growing.

People find out about the event and jump in, herd mentality kicks in ("a lot of people claim this guy is an ass, maybe he is an ass, I'll go tell others he's an ass", ad infinitum), and things will get distorted as the words are repeated, while things done long ago start to be seen in a darker light just to sustain the train.

People who have worked alongside Vic are only marginally better. They are not free of doing what I described above, or worse, since people are still people.

Imagine you worked at a store, and you heard stuff about your coworker. Now you have doubts about them. Then you see a lot (not necesarily the majority) of people say the same. Now you think it might be true. And anytime you see your coworker doing something (in this case, say, giving a fan a hug), you remember what you heard, and inmediately what you see is painted negatively. Because you believe it's true, you believe it to be the case.
