I have always, as it relates to some of the sports stories in this blog, talked about what I call the "Rafael Palmeiro Principle" -- if you are being accused of a level of malfeasance which should end your career and you do not believe you committed the acts, you have one and but one recourse.
I have tried to be careful with the Vic Mignogna story, not because I liked the guy, and not because his allegations do mirror basically my entire first college and the first at least 12-15 months of the second.
Yesterday, Vic Mignogna just invoked the Rafael Palmeiro Principle. He just sued his accusers within the voice-actor community, and the company he basically was the #1 anime voice actor for two decades for before being fired for these allegations, Funimation. (Anime News Network)
And, in doing so, I think he has successfully killed the United States anime convention scene, because he's going to force other victims to not only sue him, but the companies he's worked for and the conventions who have not only employed him as visiting talent, but probably covered up and excused his conduct.
