Latest / THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP / Another Innocent Man Gets _metooed (Vic Mignogna)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So this past seven days, we hit our most recent
- 0:02Speaker 1: addition to the Me Too movement. And at this point,
- 0:07Speaker 1: after seeing this for a year and a half, it's like,
- 0:09Speaker 1: this is clearly going to change how people interact. And
- 0:12Speaker 1: I think that's exactly what the left wants. It's exactly
- 0:15Speaker 1: what the communists want. That's exactly what the Marxists want.
- 0:17Speaker 1: They want us to not interact in the way that
- 0:19Speaker 1: we're interacting, because if we interact like we're interacting now,
- 0:22Speaker 1: their opinions aren't very popular anymore. Social justice opinions and
- 0:25Speaker 1: Marxist opinions are a very, very small part of the population.
- 0:29Speaker 1: They're a fringe movement. And you can tell they're a
- 0:31Speaker 1: fringe movement because when companies like Gillette or companies like,
- 0:35Speaker 1: I guess, Procter & Gamble or Nike or any sort
- 0:38Speaker 1: of big company takes on a leftist message, people fucking
- 0:42Speaker 1: hate it. And the only way they're going to get
- 0:44Speaker 1: them to follow suit with the commercials is to make
- 0:46Speaker 1: sure that their lives are exactly as miserable as the
- 0:50Speaker 1: people who produce those commercials or as the people who
- 0:52Speaker 1: fight to get those commercials produced. And so the way
- 0:55Speaker 1: you do that is you have to break down the culture.
- 0:57Speaker 1: This is why before you get things like Nazism or
- 1:00Speaker 1: Marxism or fascism, they all take away religion. They all
- 1:04Speaker 1: take away philosophy. Or they even inject stupid things like
- 1:07Speaker 1: post-modernism where people are saying that facts don't exist and
- 1:11Speaker 1: all the gender identities and all this shit like that
- 1:13Speaker 1: because they're doing that to break down society because if
- 1:16Speaker 1: they don't break it down, you won't accept their programs. Again,
- 1:22Speaker 1: we've seen that these programs are very, very unpopular in
- 1:24Speaker 1: the public eye. So this case of Me Too is
- 1:27Speaker 1: just another example of that, where they've taken extreme examples
- 1:31Speaker 1: like Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, and they say now
- 1:34Speaker 1: the normal person is basically just as bad as Bill
- 1:36Speaker 1: Cosby and Harvey Weinstein if they do these particular behaviors.
- 1:39Speaker 1: And they've done this in a lot of communities. Well,
- 1:41Speaker 1: they always do this. This is the oldest trick in
- 1:43Speaker 1: the book. They take, if you want to ban guns,
- 1:45Speaker 1: here's what you do. You take a person who's a
- 1:46Speaker 1: school shooter, someone who's a crazy person, And you say
- 1:50Speaker 1: every gun owner is like this school shooter, even though
- 1:54Speaker 1: more people die in high school football than school shootings.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Or they take abortions. They say every single case of abortion,
- 2:01Speaker 1: the mother was in danger of death. When in reality,
- 2:04Speaker 1: I did the math on this about a year or
- 2:08Speaker 1: two ago when I was having a conversation with somebody
- 2:10Speaker 1: about this. The math on it is like 1.8% of
- 2:12Speaker 1: abortions are undue harm to the mother. Most abortions are
- 2:17Speaker 1: people who just don't want to have kids. So they
- 2:20Speaker 1: take the extreme example and they apply it as the
- 2:22Speaker 1: normal example. And they do this with literally everything. Oh,
- 2:25Speaker 1: one more thing I forgot is the Alex Jones thing.
- 2:28Speaker 1: They said Alex Jones is this crazy conspiracy theorist who
- 2:31Speaker 1: said that Sandy Hook was a lie and he caused
- 2:33Speaker 1: all the trauma in these kids. And so, okay, maybe.
- 2:38Speaker 1: I don't think Alex Jones did anything wrong. But maybe.
- 2:41Speaker 1: You have a point. He's the craziest of us. And
- 2:44Speaker 1: then months later, they went after Sargon. They went after Milo.
- 2:47Speaker 1: They went after a ton of other people who were
- 2:51Speaker 1: just people with differing opinions. And Alex Jones was one
- 2:54Speaker 1: of those people as well. He just had a different opinion.
- 2:56Speaker 1: He was just a little bit more crazy about it.
- 2:59Speaker 1: So in this case, in this case of Me Too,
- 3:02Speaker 1: we have a voice actor, Vic Mignogna. If you don't
- 3:05Speaker 1: know who that is, you might recognize some of the
- 3:06Speaker 1: properties he's from. He's from Full Metal Alchemist. He played
- 3:09Speaker 1: Edward Elric in Full Metal Alchemist. Or more recently... He
- 3:15Speaker 1: played Brawley in Dragon Ball. Probably a very successful movie,
- 3:19Speaker 1: by the way, that just came out. I think it
- 3:20Speaker 1: made $ 100 million in the box office. So good on
- 3:23Speaker 1: Funimation for doing that. But Vic Mignogna was accused of extremely,
- 3:30Speaker 1: extremely innocuous behavior. What you might consider friendly, what you
- 3:35Speaker 1: might consider... By the way, Vic Mignogna is a pretty
- 3:37Speaker 1: devout Christian. Or, well, maybe he wouldn't define himself by Christianity,
- 3:41Speaker 1: but certainly he's a very... a very avid believer in
- 3:44Speaker 1: the Bible. He mentions before in some of his, his
- 3:47Speaker 1: con speeches that he doesn't, it's convention speeches that he
- 3:50Speaker 1: doesn't follow religion, but he does follow the word of God.
- 3:55Speaker 1: So Christian or Christian ideal person. And he's just doing very,
- 4:00Speaker 1: very Christian set behavior. Cause when you go to a
- 4:02Speaker 1: church as I grew up as a sort of a
- 4:04Speaker 1: Christian is everything's very personal. It's not just say, hello,
- 4:08Speaker 1: how are you? Say, hello, how are you? You're You
- 4:10Speaker 1: shake their hand, you say, peace be with you. It's very,
- 4:12Speaker 1: very much about physical contact. And there's a reason it's
- 4:15Speaker 1: about physical contact, because if you can physically connect with somebody,
- 4:18Speaker 1: you can also connect with them more verbally and more mentally.
- 4:22Speaker 1: It's that same Piaget thing that I've talked about in
- 4:24Speaker 1: some other videos, is that if you're going to have
- 4:26Speaker 1: a psychological concept, you have to act it out physically,
- 4:30Speaker 1: and the physical action of connection is a handshake, or
- 4:32Speaker 1: maybe it's a hug, or maybe it's that European thing
- 4:35Speaker 1: where they kiss each other on the cheek and stuff
- 4:37Speaker 1: like that. And so Vic Mignogna was essentially accused of
- 4:41Speaker 1: sexual assault for doing things like this. Oh, let's talk
- 4:44Speaker 1: about the first one because that's an easier one. He
- 4:46Speaker 1: was accused of being a homophobe first. One of his
- 4:50Speaker 1: fans brought up some yaoi, which is a code for
- 4:53Speaker 1: anime porn of two men. Yuri would be the lesbian porn.
- 4:59Speaker 1: And he said, I don't want to sign that. And
- 5:02Speaker 1: he said he didn't want to sign it because it
- 5:03Speaker 1: was not canon. That may or may not have been true,
- 5:05Speaker 1: but it seems to be because he has a fan
- 5:07Speaker 1: club And in his fan club Discord server, you're not
- 5:10Speaker 1: allowed to talk about yaoi or yuri or hentai because
- 5:14Speaker 1: he doesn't want a bunch of porn in his fan club.
- 5:16Speaker 1: So basically what this person did is they came up
- 5:19Speaker 1: to him and said, hey, sign my porn. And he said,
- 5:21Speaker 1: I'm not signing your porn. Now he's a homophobe. The
- 5:27Speaker 1: second accusation will be taken from an article by Anime
- 5:30Speaker 1: News Network. And by the way, Anime News Network, who,
- 5:33Speaker 1: you know, I've been sort of into anime. for the
- 5:36Speaker 1: past 15 years or so. I was a devout fan
- 5:39Speaker 1: when I was very, very young. In fact, I even
- 5:41Speaker 1: met Vic Mignogna when I was in high school. Very,
- 5:44Speaker 1: very nice guy, by the way. I've been on and
- 5:49Speaker 1: off looking at Anime News Network for information, and after
- 5:52Speaker 1: seeing this article, fuck you, Anime News Network. How dare
- 5:55Speaker 1: you do shit like this? You're taking somebody who has
- 5:59Speaker 1: not done really anything wrong, and you're making them out
- 6:01Speaker 1: to be a pedophile and an all-around terrible person. Because
- 6:06Speaker 1: the second set of allegations was sexual assault. And what
- 6:12Speaker 1: they've done here is, as I described before, they've taken
- 6:15Speaker 1: behavior that is normal, friendly behavior and said it was rape.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Because that's what they're trying to conflate here. It's like
- 6:21Speaker 1: that big, big feminist research paper that said that 20%
- 6:26Speaker 1: of women on college campuses get raped. No, it's not
- 6:29Speaker 1: 20% of women get raped. Rape is a violent crime.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Rape is, you know, you... beat some chick over the
- 6:35Speaker 1: head in the alleyway, and then you take her pants
- 6:36Speaker 1: off and you have sex with her. That's rape. An
- 6:39Speaker 1: unwanted kiss is not rape. An unwanted hug is not rape.
- 6:43Speaker 1: An unwanted handshake is not rape. There is a reason
- 6:46Speaker 1: that rape is a crime, and there is a reason
- 6:48Speaker 1: that child molestation is a crime, because the action of
- 6:51Speaker 1: child molestation and the action of rape has a lasting
- 6:54Speaker 1: effect on the victim for likely the rest of their life.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Most people who are victims of child molestation never get
- 7:01Speaker 1: over it. Most people who are victims of rape never
- 7:04Speaker 1: get over it. And so this is a very, very
- 7:07Speaker 1: serious thing. And to conflate a hug or to conflate
- 7:11Speaker 1: in friendly behavior with rape is absolutely disgusting. And what
- 7:17Speaker 1: an insult to people who have actually been raped. So
- 7:19Speaker 1: this is not rape. This is not chabalization because it's
- 7:22Speaker 1: not going to produce any sort of lasting psychological imprint
- 7:25Speaker 1: that will harm their life. All that's going to happen
- 7:28Speaker 1: is that they may have said, well, that was a
- 7:30Speaker 1: little bit weird. And then they're going to immediately get
- 7:32Speaker 1: over it and get on with the rest of their day.
- 7:35Speaker 1: So what this article is trying to do is accuse
- 7:37Speaker 1: Vic of being a pedophile. The first example of, I
- 7:41Speaker 1: would guess, innocuous behavior, by the way, if you're at
- 7:46Speaker 1: the head of a massive line, you know, a lot
- 7:48Speaker 1: of times I've been to conventions before. I used to go,
- 7:50Speaker 1: you know, when I was in high school, like maybe
- 7:52Speaker 1: 14 to 18 or so. And these lines are fucking massive.
- 7:56Speaker 1: And especially for a voice actor like Vic Mignone, Vic
- 7:59Speaker 1: Mignone is a huge, voice actor. He is in pretty
- 8:02Speaker 1: much everything. The only people who are bigger than him
- 8:04Speaker 1: are maybe like Crispin Freeman and Steve Bloom in terms
- 8:07Speaker 1: of voice actors. But he's a pretty big voice actor.
- 8:09Speaker 1: So he's probably been, at the point of this photo,
- 8:12Speaker 1: probably been signing photographs and doing things all day. And
- 8:17Speaker 1: so they mentioned that the person in this photograph is
- 8:19Speaker 1: 14 years old and her face is rightfully blanked out.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Thank you for doing that. That's one good credit to
- 8:25Speaker 1: Anime News Network because you shouldn't post pictures of minors
- 8:28Speaker 1: that their parents had sent and they probably didn't get it.
- 8:32Speaker 1: So he gives this girl a hug, a type of
- 8:34Speaker 1: hug that he gives every single fan, and she happens
- 8:36Speaker 1: to have a jacket unzipped, and his hand maybe misses
- 8:39Speaker 1: the outside of her jacket and goes inside the jacket.
- 8:42Speaker 1: I don't know why this is such a big deal,
- 8:44Speaker 1: because if she hadn't been wearing a jacket, his hand
- 8:46Speaker 1: would just be around her waist. It's not like he's
- 8:47Speaker 1: trying to grab her ass or anything like that. It's
- 8:49Speaker 1: not like, even if he flicked his wrist downward, his
- 8:52Speaker 1: hand is so high up that he would never reach
- 8:54Speaker 1: any sort of sexual area. Now for this next part,
- 8:58Speaker 1: you kind of have to consider... at Vic Mignotta's fan base,
- 9:01Speaker 1: and I have to put this in context or it
- 9:02Speaker 1: doesn't make that much sense, is that girls are crazy
- 9:07Speaker 1: over Vic Mignotta. He's certainly very, very socially fluent. He's
- 9:10Speaker 1: certainly very personal. And so it makes sense that a
- 9:13Speaker 1: lot of girls would go after him. And so one
- 9:16Speaker 1: of the moves that he does is that he goes
- 9:18Speaker 1: for a hug and then he goes for a kiss
- 9:20Speaker 1: on the cheek. Not a big deal. And by the way,
- 9:24Speaker 1: most of the fans that are fans of Vic Mignotta
- 9:27Speaker 1: absolutely fucking love this. Not only do most of the
- 9:30Speaker 1: fans love it, but if you look at the court
- 9:33Speaker 1: of public opinion, so I'll post a little image on
- 9:36Speaker 1: the screen that kind of discusses this. Taylor was 18
- 9:39Speaker 1: when she attended Colossicon in Sandusky, Ohio, 2013. She was
- 9:43Speaker 1: feeling ill when she got up that morning, but decided
- 9:46Speaker 1: to still tag along with her friend to Mignogna's autograph line.
- 9:50Speaker 1: She wasn't an avid fan of Mignogna, but her friend was,
- 9:52Speaker 1: so she went so her companion would get a second
- 9:56Speaker 1: item signed. Pretty common idea. When it came to their turn,
- 10:02Speaker 1: Taylor said that Mignogna told her she was adorable. She
- 10:06Speaker 1: didn't think much of that statement, and when he asked
- 10:08Speaker 1: her if she wanted a signed photo, she thought, why not?
- 10:12Speaker 1: He embraced her for a photograph, and when the moment
- 10:14Speaker 1: was over, Taylor said he hugged her and then proceeded
- 10:17Speaker 1: to kiss her face. Onlookers cheered. So if this had
- 10:24Speaker 1: been a terrible case of sexual assault, a terrible case
- 10:29Speaker 1: of rape, a terrible case of foul play, wouldn't every
- 10:35Speaker 1: guy or everyone, by the way, anytime there's a real
- 10:38Speaker 1: sexual assault, anytime there's anything bad happening to a female, everybody,
- 10:44Speaker 1: everybody comes in to help. Any sort of thing, even
- 10:47Speaker 1: if the man is yelling at a woman or being
- 10:50Speaker 1: a little bit high pit or a little bit high energy,
- 10:57Speaker 1: people will come up to rescue her. So she had
- 10:59Speaker 1: plenty of people watching. She probably, maybe it could be,
- 11:01Speaker 1: let's say at least, this is a very conservative estimate,
- 11:04Speaker 1: at least 100 people watching this thing happen. And nobody
- 11:07Speaker 1: had a problem with it. And the reason nobody had
- 11:10Speaker 1: a problem with it is because it's not a big deal.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Like look in Europe. If you're in Europe, a common
- 11:15Speaker 1: way to greet people, a common way to greet a
- 11:17Speaker 1: female is to hug her and then give a kiss
- 11:20Speaker 1: on the left and the right cheek. Kissing someone on
- 11:23Speaker 1: the cheek is not sexual behavior. It's just a greeting.
- 11:26Speaker 1: It's just friendly. But the leaders of the Me Too
- 11:28Speaker 1: movement don't want things like that because any sort of
- 11:30Speaker 1: appropriate physical contact, again, not sexual, friendly contact, is there
- 11:37Speaker 1: to set people to be more bonded to other people
- 11:40Speaker 1: and there to create better relationships. So a handshake, a hug,
- 11:43Speaker 1: the European kiss on the cheek thing. Those are all
- 11:47Speaker 1: things that help socially bond you to the person that
- 11:49Speaker 1: you're talking to so that if anything bad happens, you'll
- 11:53Speaker 1: actually help them out because you've had a physical connection.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Not a sexual connection, a hug, a friendly kiss on
- 12:03Speaker 1: the cheek or hand or forehead or anything. These are
- 12:06Speaker 1: all just nonverbal communicators of connections. And over this innocuous behavior,
- 12:12Speaker 1: they've basically taken Vic to the cleaners. He has been
- 12:15Speaker 1: fired from Funimation. He has been fired from Rooster Teeth.
- 12:19Speaker 1: All of his conventions in 2019 that have not occurred already,
- 12:23Speaker 1: basically he's been canceled. And they basically ruined his career.
- 12:28Speaker 1: And this whole thing is disgusting. Even his professional colleagues
- 12:30Speaker 1: like Neil Kaplan are sitting there on Twitter trying to
- 12:34Speaker 1: defame Vic Mignogna. They're trying to say, well, Vic Mignogna
- 12:37Speaker 1: was late to a panel that I was doing. Therefore,
- 12:39Speaker 1: he's a rapist. This whole thing is just disgusting, and
- 12:43Speaker 1: we have to see the Me Too movement as a
- 12:45Speaker 1: win by the feminists. They won this. They won the
- 12:48Speaker 1: ability to falsely accuse, clearly. Because even people like Christine Ford,
- 12:53Speaker 1: who was completely falsely accusing Kavanaugh of raping her, got
- 12:59Speaker 1: away with it. Plenty of other situations where people have
- 13:03Speaker 1: falsely accused or taken innocuous behavior and said it was
- 13:06Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world. Even the Harvey Weinstein stuff. Now,
- 13:10Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein may have actually been accused of rape and
- 13:12Speaker 1: may have actually been convicted of rape. I haven't followed
- 13:14Speaker 1: it that much, but there are a lot of women
- 13:15Speaker 1: who accused him of rape because they made a deal
- 13:18Speaker 1: and they didn't like that their careers were over after
- 13:20Speaker 1: the deal. So I had sex with Harvey Weinstein. He
- 13:23Speaker 1: made me a big star. I'm not a big star
- 13:25Speaker 1: anymore because I'm 50. Well, fuck Harvey Weinstein. So they
- 13:30Speaker 1: got away with it with that. If we let them
- 13:34Speaker 1: get away with this anymore, they're going to keep doing it.
- 13:37Speaker 1: They're going to go from the people who are the
- 13:38Speaker 1: worst of us And then they're going to start attacking
- 13:40Speaker 1: the best of us, which they've already started doing. So
- 13:43Speaker 1: the only way around this is to start saying no
- 13:45Speaker 1: to everybody, even the people that you hate. Certainly you
- 13:49Speaker 1: can change some of your behavior, but I don't know
- 13:51Speaker 1: how much of your behavior should be changed. Should we
- 13:54Speaker 1: not be allowed to greet women with a hug anymore?
- 13:56Speaker 1: Should we not be allowed to handshake anymore? Should we
- 13:58Speaker 1: not be allowed to have normal fucking conversations? I don't
- 14:01Speaker 1: know if we can comply to that. Because if we
- 14:04Speaker 1: comply to that, we destroy any sort of human connection
- 14:06Speaker 1: that we would have, and then we lose. But at
- 14:10Speaker 1: the very least, and especially as a part of the MGTOWs,
- 14:17Speaker 1: is that we say no. I want due process. Innocent
- 14:21Speaker 1: until proven guilty. And so until this person has been
- 14:24Speaker 1: convicted in a court of law, they are technically innocent.
- 14:28Speaker 1: And we can't sit here and destroy people's careers over
- 14:30Speaker 1: just an accusation. Certainly there are people who deserve their
- 14:33Speaker 1: careers to be destroyed, but those people need to be
- 14:35Speaker 1: done so after a conviction. Not this nonsense where he
- 14:41Speaker 1: doesn't want to sign yaoi porn because he's a Christian
- 14:45Speaker 1: or because he kissed some girls on the cheek as
- 14:47Speaker 1: a friendly kiss or hugged people friendly in a friendly way.
- 14:51Speaker 1: This is, again, this is just gross, and I'm going
- 14:53Speaker 1: to keep repeating myself, so I guess I'll just end
- 14:55Speaker 1: the video. Like, comment, subscribe. See you next time. Bye.
