Over the past two months, the #MeToo movement breached the American anime convention industry. Most feel it was inevitable. Many say it's about time.
The first salvo was fired in mid-January in the form of a Twitter thread accusing veteran American voice actor Vic Mignogna ("Dragon Ball Z," "Fullmetal Alchemist") of homophobia, anti-Semitic behavior and unwanted sexual contact.
Soon the charges from fans, some of whom claim they were underage at the time of the alleged transgressions, were joined by those from con staff members, professional cosplayers, fellow voice actors and an ex-fiancee.
