My Life In Fandom: Burning Stick Bundles Abound

Last night on Nick Rekieta's show he played a teaser from a pile of material he's intending to display tonight regarding the #KickVic case. It concerned the North American (English) actor Sean Schemmel, the voice of Goku for Funimation's English dub of Dragon Ball Z/Dragon Ball Super. Listen for yourself.

From @NickRekieta ‘s stream!
Seems someone at funimation got caught making some very homophobic remarks!
I wonder who it could be... 🤔@ThatUmbrella @DragonBae_Z @TyBeard10 @SGSAMII @SENPAiSNTHOME @_Hero_Hei_ @SuperSaiyanPaul @UnrealEntGaming @YellowFlashGuy #IStandWithVic pic.twitter.com/RjJYXv7vuI

Oh ho, what have we got here? Is this a hypocritical violation of the Narrative? Why yes it is, and the fundamental dishonesty on display--on Schemmel for shitting on Vic over this sort of thing, on Chris Sabat's part for archiving this (as he owns the studio where recording is done), and on Funimation's part for hypocritically allowing hired talent to violate policy in this manner--doesn't help the case against Vic. Oh no, it damages an already strained credibility by demonstrating an unwillingness to live up to the standards professed and enforced upon Vic.

Yes, it's pure Alinsky. Alinsky used it because it works. He didn't discover it or invent it; he just published it.

Tonight's livestream should be interesting. I'll be tuning in. Nick's YouTube channel is here, and his Twitter account is here. He Tweets out well beforehand if he's going live tonight, and archives his streams on his channel so you can watch them after the fact.

What this lawsuit reveals is astonishing. First, it reveals that the North American anime business really is an amateur hour clown show. Funimation is run by morons. The con scene is as overrun by SJWs as I'd expected. Most voice actors are just schmucks who lucked into the job, or real actors who couldn't get steady work elsewhere, and even then they rely on con appearances for the bulk of their income; Vic's the proverbial big fish in a small pond.

We can see this incompetence and petty stupidity at play with Crunchyroll also, and since those two are the biggest players in North American anime we can conclude that most of the rest are either smaller-scale counterparts or earnest competitors who just ain't making the grade yet. I hope the latter focus upon being properly professional, stridently anti-SJW, and respectful of their Japanese partners- something neither Funi nor Crunchy are.

Until this is fixed, my previous decision to disallow any of these companies to touch Star Knight stands. There will be no English dub, and I will write the sub scripts.
