I'm curious about what would happen if Vic does win on the appeals and demands retractions.
How will this impact a lot of the voice actors who are currently denouncing him and going full woke?
I'm sure the true believers (Cristina Vee, D.C. Douglas, Patrick Seitz) and has-beens (Amanda Winn-Lee) will still be raving and convinced of Vic's guilt until the day they die in the event of Vic being more or less exonerated/vindicated in all this.
But what about the ones who seem to be loud but may have been virtue-signalling to avoid getting cancelled? Who all do you think would be in that camp? And would they welcome back Vic or at least admit his innocence since they wouldn't be in fear of getting targeted as much?
Again, this is all extremely optimistic wishful thinking on my part, but still.
The only one I think probably would do a complete 180 and side with Vic is Michelle Ruff, as optimistic as that sounds.
I've been behind so correct me if I missed anything, but she's never said anything directly about this herself, but I know she did retweet a few KickVic posts at the start of all this in February and March, so it's possible she did the bare minimum to cover her own ass and quietly stepped away.
Plus, hasn't she been having some conflicts with some of the main Kick Vic voice actors at Funimation? I may be wrong on that, but I remember something about one of her iconic roles getting recast and redubbed in a recent anime dub.
Stephanie Sheh seems to be hardcore KV, but if she's still on good terms with Johnny Yong Bosch, it's possible (but highly unlikely) she could be convinced to at least drop the vitriol and move on from all this IF Vic wins his appeals and public retraction statements get issued. I remember hearing about how she's close friends with JYB in real life, going back years.
Given how cult-like Woke Twitter is, I think it's possible she may have cut JYB out of her life completely because he stood with Vic.
