New rules regarding Vic Mignogna discussions

VedranTheII·2/10/2019 in News and Announcements

During the past couple weeks we have seen a significant increase in inflammatory behavior since the news broke regarding Qrow’s former voice actor, Vic Mignogna. Both supporters and detractors becoming increasingly hostile and inflammatory,with no signs of stopping.

As such, in accordance with article 5 of our forum policies (undefined circumstances), and via a vote held by staff, we have elected to institute a blanket ban on all discussion of all current events regarding Vic Mignogna.

Though individual opinions of the matter differ between staff members, we as a collective we do not take any stance on the subject; the decision to disallow discussion of the event was made by a majority vote and serves exclusively to maintain order on the wiki.

Please be mindful of your activity from this point on.

Ah, so that part's up in the air. I knew they reacted to it, as well, and took him off a role, but I wasn't sure if they completely cut ties or fired him.

He's still welcome at some conventions, but overall, the gist of it is that there's a big mess right now due to a flareup in accusations that have been already going on for 10 years. So, now 73 knows what's going on.

why? it's a warning/announcement, so long as it doesn't derail it can be useful explaining the policy.

I heard he got fired from Funimation and they have no plans for him to do future productions.

I think they took him off a role first, then fired him later. I've heard talk that they did an investigation into the situation, so if they really have fired him, then their investigation led them to do so.

Funimation was honestly the best group to do the investigation, as the accusations revolved around non-Rooster Teeth conventions and the Funimation office. He rarely set foot anywhere that was officially Rooster Teeth owned or run.

I'm pretty sure we're kinda pushing it at this point, guys.
