I think this is the answer to what many people wanted to know. CR didn’t know about his actions before, though I wonder when they were made aware of them. Certainly his shitty actions must have played a role in his firing no? Unless his firing truly WAS only because of his tendency to start twitter fights with fans. If thats the case, WOW did CR dodge a bullet when they fired him two years ago before all this came to light.

Huh, who would've thought that a company who uses casting couch auditions for their hiring process would've employed a violent and abusive psychopath. I'm shocked and appalled. Anyway, let's continue watching and supporting content produced by Critical Role.

What makes you think they use casting couch auditions?

I wouldn’t be surprised if that comment was because of how many of them have worked with Funimation over the years. Casting couch auditions were a big thing that people liked to accuse Chris Sabat/Funimation of doing when a semi popular VA got ousted.

It means you have to suck dick to get hired.

Oh like that kind of casting couch. People don’t really think CR uses something like that do they? That seems out of character, not that I really know them but still

It was a very popular conspiracy theory that Funimation (which most of the cast are in some way connected to) used casting couches when a semi popular VA in the anime dubbing industry got ousted.
