It's all a lotta hearsay, is the problem. People on the internet saying, "Well, I heard he did/said this..." But barely any one-on-one first person accounts. Personally, I find most of them hard to believe, since I've worked a con for three years now that he's attended, and he's been nothing but a doll. His fans are crazy, always, but he's been sweet each time.

The only first person account besides my own (and my own are basically what my friend's amounts to) that I know of and believe is one of my friends went to a con this year where she and a small group were having a cosplay group photoshoot near a picnic area. Vic's fanbase, the Risembool Rangers appeared (sans Vic, mind you), and basically had a shit-fit out them, and told them to GTFO.

This was well before Vic ever arrived on the scene, and my friend said she and her friends were long gone and never even saw him arrive. So, it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't even aware of the situation.

So yeah, my own personal opinion is that the majority of the wank stems from his crazy fanbase, and word of mouth hearsay that may or may not be true. This all culminates on the internet into, "He's a dick because the nets told me so and they never lie." Eh, I don't buy most of it.

It's worth noting that things mentioned in that thread happened to me.

Also, he's no longer welcome at Nekocon (among others, that's just the only one I can think of right now) for some of the things mentioned.

Otakon as well.

(Anonymous) 2008-02-12 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's right, I'd forgotten about Otakon.

I know AWA is iffy on having him back, after what a problem he was this year, but I don't know if they've come to a final decision or not.

HE'S BANNED FROM OTAKON? Oh God, for what? I saw him there last year but I hadn't heard of him doing anything bad enough to be banned.

(Anonymous) 2008-02-12 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Mostly for his treatment of staff and attendees, I guess. I didn't have much contact with him that year, because I was working a different area than usual, so I can't tell you much beyond that.

He's no longer around at ACEN either, though I'm not sure if it's his choice or theirs.

Also, a very good friend in real life had to organise some things for his fanclub (and him) at a tiny con. They went out to dinner, and she sat next to him. He proceeded to make rude comments about other fans, and ate her food even when she told him to stop it (she'd paid for it herself), because "You're my fanclub so you shouldn't care."

Shortly later the other mods of the Rangers told him a bunch of lies about her because she liked him for him and not the FMA dub (she didn't like the dub, more specifically), and when she explained herself, he didnt care. She didn't like his work, and he would sit there and watch the other girls trashing someone in a largely populated area. Someone he'd met personally and knew better than most of them.

So, there's a few things he did personally, as well as the problems with his fanbase, who he's very active with and could easily discourage (but he thinks it's cool).
