He denied all sex abuse/assault/harrassment claims, the things that could land him in prison. He's a predator attempting to squeeze the last bit of good faith out of his victims and ex-fans.

 

Wasn't he the guy that made that animation about Super Mario RPG?

Anyway, I can totally understand recasting him as a result from this. He did a bad, he now admitted to a bad to put it in baby speak.

If a company now continues to publicly associate with him (especially in the case of a big name thing like Nintendo), that company risks being put under fire for associating with him. That's how it works, like it or not.

 

You've been abused and Traumatized?

Have you had all avenues of legitimate work in your specialty sealed off to you?

Have you had all your friends shun you to the point you were isolated and entirely alone?

Were you ever put into a point that you had constant mail telling you to go die? That you are worth nothing?

If the answer to any of these are no, then no, you have not "had your life ruined". A person can come back from any of these individually. Maybe at worst two, but having all 3? That's life crippling. That's truly 'ruining a person's life'. When you 'ruin a person's life' you are driving their self worth and self esteem to non-existent values. You are effectively 'killing' them.

You say abusers 'do not want to improve themselves'. Do you not realize that you are abusing the abusers? You are abusing them to the point they don't WANT to improve. Why should they try with people like you who are going to continue to kick them down, even when they try to lift themselves up? Of course, you don't care. You don't care if they try, you exist in a court of your own personal opinion.

To my knowledge, he has not admitted to sexual assault. If he's lying, then he should be buried as much as any sexual predator (be put on a public list of sexual predators, it should haunt him).

ANYONE who wishes someone's life to be ruined is basically saying they want to kill the person, without having the blood directly on their hands as ruining the person often causes suicide.

Can you prove the sexual abuse/assault/harassment is a thing? Until you can, I suggest you calm that down. For all we know the sexual end might entirely be the same as the Vic Mignogna case - people simply wanting to jump on the hate bandwagon. I am not saying it ISN'T true, but that it's also likely it is false too. We have no hard proof and some people know sexual assault/etc is a good way of stirring up hate, getting sympathy points, etc.

I know that may make you angry, but consider the "MeToo" movement's history, how many false cases have already been confirmed, sometimes by the ones who claimed the sexual harassment. Remember Johnny Depp? How we found out it was his wife abusing him, and not the other way around? That's a good example. At this point, thanks to the "MeToo" bandwagoners who have abused the movement to gain fame or traction with no basis, it's honestly hard to trust ANY accusations of sexual misconduct seriously because it's become so convolutedly hijacked as a method for destroying people with no proof since people jump on that bandwagon WAY too easily..

 

this has nothing to do with the game and no one who plays it would know about it. Who outside his inner circle would be outraged by it? They are seriously going to censor the game because of this wtf? I understand not hiring him again (if he's molesting people in the workplace lol) but taken him out of a product he already finished?

 

Two words, future DLC. It’s been discussed by others more knowledgeable about the situation than myself in this thread. The decision might also be linked to the possibility of his character being a DLC character for Smash Ultimate (not confirmed but possible) and smash falls into more hands than Fire Emblem unfortunately.

EDIT: Fixed grammatical error

 

Both. That said, my opinion is that this kind of thing should be settled in a courtroom. Social media dog-piling isn't justice. It's vigilantism.

If this guy truly committed sexual assault, then the court will put him behind bars where he belongs and classify him as a sex offender.

The recent approach by companies however is to drop anything or anyone who has even a hint of controversy, even if it's untrue (though most cases have been true.) And as far as I'm concerned, they sometimes seem to resort to extreme measures.

I just want to point out that proper men don't break NDAs or have controversy of sexual assault that isn't immediately dismissed as untrue.

In the past, this was handled by just, you know, replacing the voice actor. Consistency of voice acting is only a recent thing.

 

Cool, i hope this doesn't affect the time it takes for them to add an additional difficulty

 

wait .... "KIRBOPHER", that one that animations I watched around 2000's on newgrouds became a voice actor and have abuse stuff?
World is sure an egg :v (idk if his expression works in english)
well I think job related results and personal live must not be mixed... I mean , they tell us that every time, even more if you work with your family, do don't disturb the jobs results and the family relations...
I know it's bad but idk.. it's complex Should keep his work already done, already paid, next time hire someone else if the problem is not wanting to give money and celebrate the work of someone with bad behavior
(And if his sorry letter was really true, why not hive him a chance?)

 

Just leave it. It doesn't change a thing if they replace the lines. He did the work so he got paid already. Sexual assault is disgusting, but it's completely unrelated to him voicing in the game.

Hey, losers like Sean Schemmel need to make a name for themselves somehow.

 

My point was how laughable the whole "proper men" comment was by that user, but I suppose that didn't carry terribly well in text.
