A supporter of the ongoing #KickVic campaign to permanently ‘kick’ former RWBY and Dragon Ball Super: Broly voice actor Vic Mignogna out of the anime scene has apologized and deleted a video in which they called for surprise group violence against Mignogna.
In the clip, originally posted to Twitter by user @chidoritabag and archived since by anime news site Nyan Net, @Chidoritabag calls for “anime fans” and “video game people” to find Mignogna in public and “just gather up around him, and just beat him up.”
“This is bright, anyways, I have this really cool idea… uh we should all, like us, anime fans…anime gamer people uh… we all know of the infamous Mic…Mign..Vic Mignogna, right? Well I just thought maybe, just maybe, we could all get in a group and like if we see him in public, we just gather up around him, and we just beat him up hahahahah.”
YouTuber Hero Hei played part of the clip in his coverage.
When confronted by other anime fans who condemned the calls to violence, @Chidoritabag responded by dismissing their critics as simply being “vic mcnugget fanboys” and using the allegations of sexual abuse against Mignogna as justification for their threat:
oh no the vic mcnugget fanboys are after me now because i said we should b3at him up

Inevitably, in the face of mounting criticism, @Chidoritabag deleted the video and stated that the threat was made because they “just feel gross having to hear his voice when he has double digit numbers of accusations against him.”
i hope yall know im not actually a violent person and that i was just making a comment because i started getting into rwby because my best friend who i love so much loves rwby💞💞and Like. hearing vic as qrow is kinda gritting and then i remember all the roles hes done in various

most cases of assault are not false reports so even if you think anyone is lying…. Theres NO way ALL those people are lying :v
anyways i was just making jokes with my friends, not actually trying to organize a threat on some dude. i’m sorry and i know that threats are serious

at the end of the day, im actually a very peaceful person.
all i want is a simple life with someone i love dearly and a cat or something. we make cookies at midnight and watch anime together. we kiss under the covers. the bed is lined with plushies. life is good.

@Chidoritabag would later revisit their apology, claiming that they are “pretty sure [Mignogna] is guilty of the things hes accused of because there are SO MANY accusations,” defending their statement as “a joke in bad taste, but a joke nonetheless”, and taking offense that “steps to give [me] anonymity” were not taken despite them engaging in a public forum:
ok goodnight im going back to sleep while i can
remember that mob mentality and witchhunting do nothing for your cause and if you really wanted me to side with you that you wouldnt bully and berate me to get me to listen
also it’s incredibly toxic to make content “exposing”

people whenever you have a large platform and you don’t even take the steps to give the person anonymity.
yeah i shouldnt have joked about jumping a man even if im pretty sure he’s guilty of the things hes accused of because there are SO MANY accusations and considering i have

known so many people who’ve been assaulted in my lifetime and stuff i just. so few people are lying. it’s awful that people are so willing to defend abusers and just assume everyone has a vendetta.
if you’re so mad at me for not being peaceful though, are you any better for
— *goro akechi voice* ok… whore (@chidoritabag) February 20, 2020
mobbing me? no. you’re not.
i really am NOT a violent person and was only making a joke. a joke in bad taste. but a joke nonetheless.
i literally thought only my friends would see what i said and now ill think more about what i say online
