Vic Mignogna, known as the voice of Edward Elric and many other characters, has recently been accused of everything from being a primadonna, a jerk, a creep and even a rapist. The boys from The Other Side go over the accusations, who is making them and why they are suddenly springing up like weeds. Thrill as you experience the insane levels of pettiness supposedly grown adults in the industry have! Marvel at the incredible levels of deflection from people who tolerated actual proven rapists! This is an episode you won't want to miss!
ADDENDUM:
This podcast was recorded before more revelations came to light, which we would like to address briefly here. First, now that her story has been proven false, we feel confident in naming Jessie Pridemore as the accuser mentioned in the podcast. Voice Actor Todd Haberkorn came forward as the one she implied had raped her, and provided evidence showing the sexual encounter was consensual, and that Pridemore has held a bizarre fixation on Vic Mignogna, gleefully admitting to harassing him and his girlfriend at the time. Our initial guess as to who it might have been was incorrect, primarily because of Pridemore's insinuation that this person held too much power and influence, and outing him might cost her her career. I believe we can safely say Haberkorn does not fit this description, but we were unaware of just how much Pridemore was lying at the time of recording.
Also since this episode was recorded, the websites Anime News Network and Dao of Dragonball produced hitpieces on Vic Mignogna citing the discredited facebook post from Pridemore as a source, with ANN's article using photos of Vic's fans without their consent to misrepresent the context of the photos to further their narrative, as well as adding bizarre claims such as Vic flirting with cross-dressing men. The Dao of Dragonball article also cited MarzGurl's tweets as evidence without doing any research into her claims, who she was, or the actions she was taking against Vic's fans (and mother). Had we recorded after these articles been posted, let it be known we would have had a field day with them.
