So what is the issue here? Certain things were said in relative privacy?

Sounds more like the ultimate death knell of free speech to me.

I seriously doubt that they're going to fold because of internal drama.
Slowdown, sure, but not straight up gone.

That writer seems fucking insufferable. Wants them to just "clean house" of everyone and start over.
Brings up an EXTREMELY tenuous similarity to the Jeffrey Epstein story and then claims she's not trying to equate the two to make the voice actors look bad, even though that's blatantly what she's doing.

"Look, I know I'm accused of running over somebody with my car, but those guys over there got a speeding ticket. So, we're all guilty of something, you know?"

Fuck her.

From my understanding is it was all on company time, and with the zero tolerance stance they have been having with other issues of a similar nature. And if they do nothing it is a hypocrisy.

Slow down is more likely yes, but if studios start pulling license, that will hurt them more.

Weebs don't care about Funimation, because they're watching subs online or straight up learning moonspeak as the true gods intended. Dubs? Fucking casual!

It's a site for Tumblrinas. Insufferable is pretty much where they start, and then they just get worse from there.

The site in question explicitly says they're from Tumblr, so you can kindly go fuck yourself on that one.

Umm even if they decide to can all these VAs for violating clauses, they can just hire new ones? There are plenty of voice actors out there that would love to have any work. Also if they do nothing, literally no one would ultimately give a shit and people would still watch their dubs.

Well, I can tell that site doesn't proofread >_>

While I can kinda see the point that if Vic got fired for violating the same guideline that everybody else should be fired, I think that's still missing the forest for the trees since the people who brought that up were doing so to justify keeping Vic, not getting rid of everybody. And, honestly, I'm not sure where I actually stand on the whole Vic controversy in the first place.

That sort of stuff is bread & butter for anybody looking to try get people more offended by something.

It's a talent issue. There are always people looking to get into the industry, but a lot of them just aren't good. If you're getting rid of established top-tier talent, you're kinda fucked.

pretty sure people would give a crap about Vegeta and goku along with the rest of DB being new voices

it's not so easy to just replace people like Chris Sabat and Sean Schemmel

unless you really think you can just shove whoever in there as the voices and nobody will bat an eye because it's just voices...who cares
