- just a video of part of vic's Q & A session at ACEN 2009. i hope all those haters see this video and listen up! vic mignogna is amazing, and he doesn't deserve that kind of stuff.
This just dumbfounds me....how is it that people can actually take the fact that Vic: A heterosexual male, doesn't like Yaoi personally. Why would he??? I mean if you're into that that's fine I guess but why get offended when a straight man doesn't?
Vic is a great voice actor and person
he doesn't hate people
Neither do I
God bless Vic Mignogna.
I totally agree with Vic. I was pondering the whole sub vs dub argument earlier. I came to realize (like Vic). It calms down to the point that we all enjoy watching anime. As long as the story comes across clearly, then we shouldn't fight amongst ourselves for a small part of anime.
Agreed, I always get axed down by people since I prefer english, so naturally my defensive system kicks in and ax them back for liking the japanese, I know I shouldn't do that, but it just doesn't seem fair to me that they do it in the first place. But in reality, we shouldn't fight over it in the first place.

Very well said, thank you. I ALWAYS watch the English Dub, only because the Japanese voices usually always sound the same to me, and I get very tired of constantly following the captions in English, when there's so much else to pay attention to on the screen.
But I tell devout Anime fans that I like English Dub....Lord Boy Howdy! It's like I insulted the Pope at a Catholic Convention! It's like I kicked a baby in the teeth at a Cancer Clinic! People go nuts! I don't get it.
***** I just don't get why it is something to fight over. Some people will like what you don't like, and you don't have to understand why, but you have to accept it if we are all gonna be comfortable in this community.
Like Vic says, you love dubs, that's fine, you love subs, that's fine....but STOP hating on people who love what you don't.
***** Unbelievable:-/ ....and sad.
*claps* well said!!!
By watching this my respect level for Vic has gone up a billion percent. Such a great person.
Vic Mignogna is awesome
dubs are my thing and yaoi isnt but if you like subs or yaoi as vic would say GOD BLESS YOU
The reason I don't like yaoi/yuri/slash or whatever you want to call it is because it's non-canon & it basically stomps all over the creators' work & original intent. TBH, I don't even like straight pairings that are non-canon either. If it's canon, I'm perfectly fine with it, in fact Xena & Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess are in my top ten favourite couples list & I get just as annoyed when someone pairs Gabrielle off with Joxer in their fan fics or fan art.
I only watch subs when the anime is not available in English & prefer dubs because I don't like my attention being divded if I can help it.
The rumours about Vic are beyond ridiculous & people should look in their own backyards before they start targeting other people.
I both like sub and dub and I don't really mind Yuri or Yaoi, I even ship some of it if it's not too much OOC. And how could anyone believe these studid rumors about Vic?? Everyone who saw videos about him on youtube or met him live should know that he's just as kind as Ed is, don't hate on bad people! In fact don't hate on anyone, it will just make you feel bad and you waste time you could spend having fun instead-
Watching this during #AnimeGate. Who the HELL would want to hurt this man?
I personally don't mind Yaoi or subbed, but despite that I respect people's opinions and Vic remains my favorite voice actor.
omfg why is he such a great fucking guy? he is such a bro
Rumor has it that he burns yaoi with christian alchemy and he's a shape shifting reptilian that's also a member of the illuminati.
Just kidding! :3
Lol!!
Christian alchemy. I LOL'D 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
He's been saying the same stuff for all these years and no one listened
This is why I'm a Risembool Ranger.
Yes!
People are entitled to their own opinions. I agree with Vic 100%
Vic is actually a real nice guy, sure he makes jokes like crazy but he's not that bad.
#IStandWithVic
i know he is the sweetest thing, i want to meet him sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad!!!
yeah, most of the time I look at all sides of the issue and all he was addressing was that. I figure I analyzed the information as good as I can. I think it is honestly that others want to tarnish him for unjust reasons and all he has ever done is to remain true to his fans. I honestly try to get all the facts before I say something but that's exactly what's happening.
Vic is awesome to his fans. And why wouldn't he be. So far he's the only Voice actor to reply to any fan mail I've sent him. This is not to say I don't like other voice actors but he really takes the time to pay attention to his fans, and he's really sweet to them, even if we are a bunch of crazy yaoi fangirls.
Preach it, Vic! He is so adorable and honest; he loves his fans no matter what, and that is awesome :)
It's amazing that Vic is that forgiving. How can anyone do such a thing to him?
@SilentNightmarePro I'd bet big that the people that stick to these rumors are people who've never met him. He really is one of the nicest people on the planet.
This man is awesome. I honestly am not into yaoi. I prefer dub over sub, but I like both. I get slammed for that all the time, so I seriously enjoyed this video. Vic is my favorite voice actor, and this video has reminded me why ^^
Same. I started loving him even more when I found out his was Christian, because I am too. You might hate me for that, but I don't care. I'm just sharing
I wouldn't hate you. I'm a Christian and I love the fact that Vic is too. And he loves all of his fans, gay or straight, short or tall, old or young, black or white. I've met him several times, and I can tell you firsthand that he doesn't care about any of that.
That's exactly what I say. But people still give dub-lovers crap because it's not the "raw deal" or something
Ppl can be ignorant these days. Especially to the nicest man like Vic Mignogna. If he don't like yaoi he don't like yaoi. Theres no reason to judge him cause he's christian and a sweetheart. I met him and he's not racist, evil, or a bad person. He's an angel with a heart of gold.
"I would rather not read a TV show" best quote ever.
Vic Mignogna: voice actor, motivational speaker...
Even if I saw those rumors before this video, I wouldn't believe it. Vic is an awesome person and probably the first person I've seen that loves his fans so much he would do or say anything to put a smile in their face. The whole yaoi thing is understandable, he's a guy and it's weird that a character he acts as, is in that kind of situation. Vic is the best voice actor alive!
he has to be my favorite voice actor, his opinion on dubs and subs is the same as mine and the whole yaoi thing is hilarious
I'm just surprised people are so against him, as if he's the only person in the world who doesn't like yaoi. I've seen Johnny Bosch say he doesn't want to answer yaoi questions at panels, and he doesn't seem to be getting any hating for it.
He seems like a nice guy. No one is perfect, and people make mistakes. And for fans who have never met him, all we can do is go by what we've seen. I've seen that he seems like a cool dude.
And I think some people mistake enthusiasm for arrogance. >>
"and..and..by golly, read every anime show.." Gotta love Vic!
AND he said it himself so all you people who make such a big deal out of subtitles vs dubs, be happy ^^
Such passion! My goodness if frustration could be concentrated into a molecular form, you would have choked on it just walking into the room. I can understand his frustration though. How do you redeem yourself amongst such a large group of people?
LOL
"How many of you speak Japanese in the room"
"A little"
Amen! Preach Vic Preach! Though I am a Yaoi Fan.. I wouldn't believe somebody as kind as him would do anything mean to anybody! Even his fans!!
I swear, Vic is the most humble man I've ever seen.
.....yea.....I still have yet to edit them to fit youtube, I am very sorry, but I'm working on it!
That thing about throwing stuff at someone, I think he means out of anger. Dodge ball and candy throwing is done more out of playful nature.
@VictoricRong He's allowed to throw things for niceness' sake. Milky Ways are a-ok for someone to throw at someone if the recipients are hungry. Vic is such a sweetie.
@Ciarish There's one company whose name I can't remember that never dubs the series they license. So there is one. ^^
Yeah I don't mind subs but I mostly prefer dubs. And I do like yoai but I'm not a FAN of it. Vic has the words of wisdom.
i seriously love vic, my friends have met him and have said he's really sweet and from what i see on here it also confirms it. i like yaoi and im cool with vic not liking it, his decision. people always want to make up serious crap about anyone becuase they can.
with some of the characters he done, ed and tamaki to be two examples, there's the high chance of yaoi pairings, but he deals with it for his fans
"I would rather not read a TV show" THANK FUCKING GOD SOMEBODY SAID IT.
Words to live by. Thank you Vic!
Fangirl screams! SMH LOL Vic is such a down to earth guy. I got so much respect for this guy, he truly loves his fans. I'd so love to meet him, seems like a guy that you can have a conversation with for hours! Can't believe he's 49 WTF he looks sooo much younger!
Vic is such a great guy!
I hope to meet vic at a convention one day, he seems like an awsome guy to meet.
I think the issue here is, people want to tear down others despite just leaving something for what it is. I mean he is just as human as any of us but it isn't fans that put him on the pedestal, it's all the ones whom want to find something wrong with him. I'm damn proud to be a fan of his work, BUT, I know he's just the same as you and I. He's a fan of sci-fi so technically the people whom have a beef with him are just hurting thier own kind. Tell me I am out of place if you want.
@YonakoKitti, what "harrassment" are you talking about?
You mean one of the rumors that he just debunked?
I have never seen or met a nicer voice actor, EVER. How many voice actors would invite fans into their own home?
He's AMAZING.
Anyone who will let someone lick their hand is probably a nice guy. I feel badly that Vic has to put up with these rumors being spread about him.
@Kurisuta1 And, y'know, dubs are just what I prefer. I still like subs. Hell, I'll watch any sub that features Norio Wakamoto, simply because his voice is amazingly fun to listen to. I'd say the only two dubs that I prefer, by any significant margin, are Ouran and Hetalia. Ouran just comes across as very well done, and it seems like the cast had a lot of fun with it. Hetalia... just works in sort of a bizzare way that should offend me but doesn't. My opinions of course.
I agree. I know religion has caused an unbelieveable amount of prejudice, but still, judging someone on their religion alone and making assumptions about them makes you no better than the "bad guys." :( (I'm agnostic, btw. >>)
@MidnightFlower13 I believe you've misunderstood. If, for some odd reason, I had decided to try to convince a man who doesn't like yaoi to sign a piece for me and he had declined, I would have pulled out my con book, or a piece of official merchandise and asked him to sign that. Maybe he didn't offer to sign something else, you weren't exactly clear about that in your original post. All we got was (paraphrased) "He refused to sign my image because of the content."
Vic is amazing I personally am not a Yaoi fan and I love him for saying this.
@DConS81 Yeah. I don't care what anyone else says. Vic IS good at doing "princely" characters. And really the whole cast for Ouran just worked off of each other so well.
finally someone else likes dubs better!!! this man is amazing lol
LOVE VIC!!!!! People should be nicer to him! He's amazing!
Vic is my hero :)! He makes me so happy ^_^ TELL IT VIC!!!
Love Vic, it's real sad the rumors a so prevalent. I would love to see the video from the camera he stole though that would be awesome.
hm, vic always can put a smile on my face.
Haha I prefer the best of both versions, sub and dub.
Though I tend to lean towards sub more since those are first things that come out.
But thank god for Vic and Tatum and Todd Haberkorn and their sexy voices :D
Poor Vic, he seems sooooo pissed off. Why would people make rumours about him? He's so cool and nice, why would they do that?!?!
Tell 'em Vic. I'm not a poser just because I like some english dubs.
I feel the same way about subtitles! XD
this is why i love vic. :D
@MidnightFlower13 I've never actually heard anyone admit that they were, at any point, a weeaboo and/or immature. I suppose I've been a bit immature myself here. I apologize for twisting your words around, I misinterpreted the situation.
If anyone is interested in seeing more *and different* I was the girl in the front who's camera he took. I'm uploading the vids sometime this week. (so you can see Vic UP CLOSE
I only prefer subs if either the dub is bad or the original show was way too heavily localized (think 4kids) and doesn't have an uncut version. But I think Vic has a good point about how some Japanese shows also has bad dubs (haven't seen one such example personally yet though).
Green Green has a Japanese dub that makes my skin crawl. I also have to say that the English dub is not at all better by any means.
"never thrown anything at anyone"
Uhh, Vic. Remember that dodgeball game? XD
Yeah, that's what I thought too, I realized he's just as human as you or I. The power behind anyone to admire is just the fans.
@Asheill Yeah. And really, there are quite a few anime that I prefer/preferred the sub of. One Piece before Funimation bought the rights to it comes to mind. However, there are some shows, such as Ouran High School Host Club, that I loved the dub of. I think that show did a pretty good job in translating some of the humor.
Yeah, lol. it's a bit different for me. I welcome those people to find errors in what I think. I can tell when others are lying or being honest and the feeling when I met Vic was that he was genuine. I just think the weaker agitators are afraid of the ones with real evidence.
Depends what anime really
Vic Mignogna is so awesome. He's great persona is one of the reasons why people love having him at cons.
it is thanks to Vic I too am a Passionate male as well, man, I look up to this guy.
I would love to meet him, to thank him. his inspiration led to a better relationship with my sister.I also do not like Yaoi. Yet the way he handles it is just wonderful. his Passion for the lord has also caused me to reminded me of my passion. I have wrote many songs, because this guy. . . this guy, is the only other person beside Elvis, I look up too.
"I have never thrown anything at anyone!"
Is anyone else thinking of the Legend of Middle Tennessee?
lolz
GIVE THAT MAN A BOX OF COOKIES!
Truer words have never been spoken, Vic.
It makes me sad that people hate Vic just because he doesn't like yaoi.
@Kurisuta1 Hey, listen *shot* If you like subs, that's fine. I don't care. Go watch subs. I like dubs. 9/10 I've listened to both tracks, and that's just what I prefer. Maybe being nearly deaf helps, but "emotional level" really doesn't translate much behind "Which actor is louder in any given scene." And, as a person who unfortunately doesn't understand Japanese (though I hope to learn) important elements of the language are lost in translation.
I had a dream last night that Vic was a big jerm. I really needed this. Few
This is one of the few things that makes me feel better about being a Christian. :)
Of yeah, there's a few dubs I like.
i like both dub and sub, but i like sub cause it is a little more accurate in some cases. but what is really accurate is the manga
@Asheill I can read subs just fine, but prefer dubs. Neither is 'better', everyone just likes different things.
@DConS81 He's Tamaki in Ouran. Does that count?
"...trans-mute his wings into...toast" olol 0:08
Someone give this man a cookie.
@YonakoKitti he doesn't force the people to take them lol. People actually ask for them 90% of the time.
Same here! I hate reading shows! Reading is for books, not for TV shows (except if you're deaf or hard of hearing)!
are those patty and liz cosplayers i see in the crowd? 8D
@GirtheAlienGoldfish maybe he can sense the mean spirited nature in people
he is me fave voice actor of all time. Scott McNeil coming in a close second. No one is as good to there fans as those two.
Aaahhh hes sooo freaking cute~! :3
@skyartist2fine Well considering he pulled off the line about men in the Olympics competing in the buff... Maybe the whole Fai debacle sort of put a damper on his "I spoke to the creator and the character is straight," thing. Honestly, I love Vic as Ed, but that was going a wee bit too far.
Thank you God. Thank you Vic. He couldn't have argued it more eloquently and precise. I don't like yaoi (though I am a strait boy) but I know people who do and they don't bother me. I have only watched subbed on one show and its a show called Reborn! but I would prefer to hear it in my own language and like he said watch the characters.
I remember talking to my friend about how awesome Vic was (this was before she was really into anime) and she was kind of agreeing with me but then she said "Yeah, but it's to back he's homophobic.."
I just turned to her "So?"
After awhile that didn't bother her anymore and now she is happily obsessed with J.Michael Tatum,Vic Mignogna, and Todd Haberkorn....
I love you too Vic.
I
