Comments

That is rather rude to his fanbase, which is surprising (and ironic) considering how approachable he is with his relationship WITH his fanbase.

But as classless as that is, it sounds more like he's anti-yaoi than homophobic, which, yeah, people love to confuse the the two or claim they are synonymous.

[bodyline.livejournal.com]

He is very anti-yaoi and makes no secret of it, which really isn't a problem, but it's the way he handles it that annoys me to no end. He says that we all are allowed to have opinions and that we need to respect each other, but then he turns around and just acts completely rude about it and very insulting. =/

But yes, he's never really shown any outright homophobia, just anti-yaoi, but I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if he is homophobic.

[halcyonjazz.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm not saying he's not being a douchebag by saying those comments. From the sounds of it it looks like he's stereotyping anyone who likes yaoi/slash as a crazed yaoi fangirl and that is amazingly disrespectful. Which, again, SHOCKING, since he's so fan-friendly (I emailed him once! He even kept a conversation thread with me for about 5 replies, that was very surprising!)

Whether he's homophobic or not, I can't say, but being anti-yaoi =/= homophobia. Either way I still respect his voicework a lot (I was a fan of his back when he did Gawl in Generator Gawl) and he only improved to amazing levels (holy crap, his work as Junpei in Persona 3!), I can only imagine what else he'll bring to the table.

Is there a link to where he's said this, btw? Either on youtube or in a text interview somewhere? :o

[bodyline.livejournal.com]

He's apparently said to fans that he's spoken to personally through e-mail that he does know not all yaoi/slash fans are crazy, but he's never really acted that way publicly in con and stuff.

I think he did a good job as Edward but I really just am not impressed with his voice work elsewhere. I didn't like his Fai, Dark, or Yukito, and I'm not really jumping up to look for his other works. I think he has the potential to be great but...

Go to YouTube and look up 'vic mignogna yaoi' and you'll get about 36 results. D:

Not to butt in, but I think my biggest problem (and this may be an issue with others, too, which is why I bring it up.) is that he's 'hypocritical' about it. Fan-service is all well and good, and sweet of an actor but to run around doing cute little 'Roy/Ed' jokes and lines at cons... and then to follow them with tangents about yaoi being wrong bad example with that pairing, I know, because it has wrong written all over it for a number of reasons.

but I guess my point is, if you're going to hate it that's one thing. If you're going to do the fanservice that's another thing. But the number of times he's given a fan-service like quote, he seems to constantly follow them up with long rants about how Ed can't possibly be gay. The yaoi fans know he dislikes it, greatly. They're not going to change their minds, just because you preach about it.

the short and sweet: Maybe he thinks doing the fan-service is making him a great guy, and it's nice to think of the fans and all. but I think it takes away from doing the fanservice if you're going to lecture your fans every time. Maybe if it makes him uncomfortable, he should stop.

EXACTLY.
