Slight correction on a couple things, first of all, the Viz dub was prerecorded, not done as it aired, meaning it was unfortunate timing, second, Viz is dubbing the Rohan OVAs and turns out Rohan has a new VA, thirdly, Mignogna being a sex pest was already an open secret for decades, it just took the KickVic stuff for something to actually happen

Why shouldn't Kimura's career be thriving? Cause he posted really bad and insensitive jokes? They've been deleted and he's not going around getting work because of his racist iconography. He's getting work cause of his voice acting.


Why should it happening around the same time matter? It's an example of the supposed "free market" or "consequences for actions" mentioned in the thread that "cancel culture" has done that has been absolutely wrong. Depp was labeled an abuser and deprived of all his roles before anyone even bothered to look into it. When Depp finally gave his side of the story, it turns out Heard is the abuser but she still continues getting big roles and merch deals. What has (or hasn't) happened to Kimura isn't cancel culture so I brought up an example that was. And one that was ultimately incorrect in its efforts.

There has never been a formal apology and I'm not sure if you're aware, but racism is still an issue that hurts countless people, so naturally, people may not feel comfortable with the actor, especially as he's done it multiple times, not once.

Again, Depp still had quite a few roles during that ordeal so no, he wasn't deprived of his roles. The issue with cancel culture is that it doesn't actually exist in the way people like to say it does, John Boyega has been massively critical of Disney and is now struggling to find work as he's gotten less roles since that happened whereas Roman Polanski admitted to raping a 13 year old in court in 1978 yet he's made countless award winning movies since despite never actually suffering consequences for it as he fled the country, it's a convinient narrative that punishes victims whereas abusers get defended constantly by weirdos, see how Mignogna was stated to be fired just because of his religion despite countless allegations against the man and how his career got ruined not by Funimation for firing him, but rather himself for sueing Funimation with massively incompetent lawyers and how despite this he *still* gets invited to cons. It's a buzzword used to downplay anything serious while protecting abusers because quite frankly, it's about putting victims down, the recent ActiBlizzard stuff being another example as a lot of people who claim women lie to get clout and ruin the lives of innocent people started claiming the lawsuit was also a sham because "Oh where's the proof? What's the side of the men?" Completely ignoring how it was already investigated for 2 years and how the lawsuit came from the government rather than any specific individuals
