FINALLY some good news after my city gets invaded by the dumbfuck brigade.

[elliotalderson]

let’s hope they go for Todd Haberdouche next

[evolet2]

Oh fuck what did he do??

[elliotalderson]

Jessie Pridemore shared her story about how she was sexually assaulted by a famous VA who wasn’t Vic and how she felt violated because she was taken advantage of due to drinking a lot that night. Todd puts himself as the rapist who raped her thinking he was saving face but allowed others to see that he was the VA who assaulted Jessie.

apparently, this is from a recent anime con and i am LIVING

[handsomejin]

Lmaoooo the cosplay

[stillglows]

it's soooo good. also girl is brave because his fans are scary af.

[ladycyndra]

They are. I remember, while at a con, asking my husband how to pronounce his last name and one of his rabid fans told me. The look on her face! She was about ready to claw my eyes out. Just for asking how to pronounce his last name.

[zodgory]

Yeah, I'm glad the reaction has been pretty swift. And it's telling that one of the few dudes in his corner is probably the VA that Pridemore doesn't want to name

[sandstorm]

Yeah I'm like.........about damn time.

when i first got into anime 12/13 years ago it was an understood fact he was a creep who preyed on young girls at conventions. i'm almost shocked to see something actually happening. i'm glad the environment's changed.

[sivartt]

finally

[senshicalico]

omg I totally misread that as saying several VAs had voiced SUPPORT for him and then saw ProZD and almost had a heart attack. I had to read his tweet twice just to make sure, lol.

Good to see this guy getting his comeuppance FINALLY. I've always heard shit about him, but it seemed to have been revitalized, at least on tumblr, lately.

[zodgory]

Ha, oh no! He's been low-key making me laugh because of the way he's handling all the Mignogna Stans trying to come for him.

I think the Dragonball movie doing so surprisingly well sort of reopened the conversation since he was probably getting a lot of bookings from that.

[senshicalico]

I'm not on twitter so I completely mess those messes, lmao. I follow him on tumblr and insta though and he's seriously one of the funniest people. His skits crack my gf and me up, especially the RPG ones.

[zodgory]

I follow him on everything because he cracks me up too.
