^I haven't looked into this one at all. hows it look?
Same stuff, different day. Acquisitions without proof.
Why the mob? Did he say something heretical?
This one seems rather spontaneous as far as I can tell.
They just decided it was his turn
He apparently doesn’t sign fan art which possibly included some homosexual anime thing. So obviously since he didn’t affirm homosexuality he is a bigot. I think that’s the main gist.
I could very well be off though.
He did mention that in his response to the whole debacle, but I don't know if that somehow started the whole thing.
From what I heard it was more with him being a bit over friendly with female fans while posing for a picture. He's known for either giving a hug, a kiss on the cheek or both. Most didn't care, some might have found that great while others will not. There are photos out there so in this case there is some evidence. However, one story I think from polygon took one of the photos and completely made up a story about it, saying the girl didn't want it at all and was upset. That girl pushed back saying she was fine with him giving a hug and kiss, and before taking the picture got permission from her mom as at the time she was around 14.
It sounds like it's been a bunch of small incidents over a long period of time.
Did people tell him at the time to cut it out?
with what evidence that has been presented so far, that is more or less it. People are overacting as usual, and sadly got him fired from two jobs when it shouldn't have.
I don't know, if anyone told him not to do that or not.
Is that the extent of it though? That sounds like a lot less than what even Al Franken did.
from the few videos I was listening to today, yeah.
That would make more sense.
ok that chocolate tower is awesome in the video links
Ya, its really cool the things some people can create.

@coldemoon The thing is, he gives hugs to any guy too, and heck I've gotten a kiss on the cheek from him, he's fricken Italian. Anyone who has ever been to a convention has seen it, and he waits for some physical queue, like open arms or people closing that personal gap. I've seen him do this with a thousand people at various events I've met him at (he comes to the Seattle area a lot). There are other voice actors who are more affectionate than him, but they tow the progressive line.
ah,I was not aware of him also doing that with guys as well. To me, it didn' seem like a big deal. Okay, he is a little over friendly big whoop.
Pretty much, he's gotten several stories against him in the past, but most of them outright admitted to being fake, never presented evidence, or we had video/photographic evidence proving he was not where the accuser claimed he was. The new MeToo environment is simply providing a platform to the same spurious stories made against many of the male voice actors. Only two of his co-workers are sticking up for him, all the others are throwing him under the bus ('I believe women" etc) or simply staying silent.
Does not help that anime/gaming fans have a lot of lunatics among them.
"he's nice to people! GET HIM!!! REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
Over simplified oversimplification
@DueyBear one of the things I’m sad at by being a weeb myself, is how many are SJWs within the community
And they’re... quite rabid
