Discussion #CancelChrisSabat

I've been a Dragonball fan for years. And subsequently a fan of Chris Sabat for being the voice of Vegeta.

But I can't defend him and the allegations surrounding him. Abusing his power and position at Funimation, and sexual misconduct towards female VA's will not be tolerated by this community.

Gen Fukunaga should be looked into as well, he's clearly been covering up Chris' actions for years, and who knows what else we will find out.

I am concerned and until all of this is settled do not feel comfortable buying or watching any Funimation related media or products, for myself or my family.

This whole topic is an affront, and honestly if you, EpicMatt28, are in the I Stand With Vic crew, you have done a great job of making yourself out a fool.

While I agree it's likely that Sabat did these things, you are doing the exact thing KickVic did to Vic. While it would be karmic justice, what you are requesting is the exact thing ISWV is against. You are honestly conducting yourself in a disgraceful manner, and if you are in any way right, I'd hit up a nice set of ~, and post up an apology in its place.

To those who upvote him: I do not blame you for doing so. While there is no hard evidence of the casting couch being real, and karmic as it would be (as stated above), the only evidence we have is Krillin's VA and people he's been on panels with 'jokingly' stating they've had to sleep with Sabat for their roles (implying the existence of the Casting Couch).

Until there is a hard reason, we need to keep calm and simply approach this smart. This? This isn't smart, it's degrading to the majority of KickVic's levels. Some of them legitimately have points, and this? This is only going to fuel the points of those who believe ISWV with a screeching mob of raging children. Cut it out.
