[@freezasama5802]

Well the reason Sean gets angry is because he doesn't usually like fans or people he just likes the fame, there's many instances where fans have tried to share things with him or mention something to him and he's dismissed it, for example at a convention a couple years back he was asked about dbza he immediately dismissed it and said he has nothing to do with it when they were just asking his opinion while with Chris Sabat (Vegeta) he would happily join in and even voiced in the show as a guest appearance, he would also do the over 9000 part 100 times even though it's Brian Drummond who popularised that line. Sean sadly also participated in getting rid of Vic Mignogna (Broly) (Edward Elric) and he made up accusations about him even though he was his friend and forced him out of funimation and his job. While Sean is a incredible artist you have to seperate the art from the artist sometimes and this is one of those instances

[@G1sandG1rlsGaming]

Sean, Chrisopher and Sonny strait were all involved in making things up about Vic. The odd thing is, Sean actually was on the fence when the accusations came out unlike Christopher, but after some people online annoyed him he immediately said "Y'know what? Fuck Vic!"

I met Vic Mignogna this past June in LA. He was easy to talk to and I felt at ease even though I was hella nervous as I didn't end up waiting for very long in line to meet him. He loved the gifts that I gave him, especially the ring and the Star Trek necklace. He said to me: "I love you, you are so kind. I wish there were more people like you in the world" Words cannot describe how I felt when he said that to me. His words do speak volumes when he said he wishes everyone could just put aside our differences and celebrate the things we love and do instead of being offended by this thing, and criticizing that thing. I got to hug him afterwards and told him as we were hugging, that I was so glad he came, and he said the same to me too, and we should make it a tradition to meet each other many times as we can. It was an honor and a blessing to meet a kind genuine person like Vic.

Told us about how he wrote parody songs himself and would love to meet Weird Al and see if they wanted to make a song together.

What happened with Vic

[@CTomCooper]

@@joemomma6317 ⁠​​⁠He got metoo’d with allegations of assault that have never been backed up by evidence or police reports. He got kicked off of his VA role as Broly, likely because his former coworkers had a trigger of jealousy from the rise of his character’s popularity. So within VA circles he was blacklisted, albeit he still manages with fan projects and meetups where he’s not blacklisted. He also hired a lawyer for a libel and slander suit versus Funimation. Unfortunately that became its own mess of his lawyer committing malpractice by bringing in legal documents late into court, and Vic had agreed to his contract in such a way that he received no money back from the funds for legal fees his supporters gave for his case, and that is just on top of being issued costs issued by the court to pay to Funimation around the sum of 300,000 plus dollars. The more you look into this, the more you’ll see how dark and rotten the VA industry is. Or at least Funimation’s VA’s. It’s gotten me to just watch fan subbed episodes out of habit when I watch anime nowadays. If you see any of Vics interviews he’s a really nice guy, and while open about his personal religious beliefs when asked he doesn’t push them onto people talking to him. If anything he’ll take to task fundamentalist evangelicals for not exhibiting a good christian ethic. In short he was cancelled for being a white, christian guy, both by his former peers and an online anonymous mob.

Sean Schemmel had me barred from entering the signing line because during the DBZ Reunion panel at SGC 2014 I asked the panelist if they had any favorite DBZA lines. I know, BIG no no now but this was before his disdain for TFS & other Goku VAs was well known. Both TFS & the Funi cast were at the con & there were talks of them swapping scripts for a special panel by the people running the show on the SideScrollers podcast a week earlier, so I thought the question was fair, as did the question screener who approved it. 🤷 He noticeably soured, looked like he almost rage quit the panel & mentally checked out on his phone while Sunny & the other panelists talked about how they're the shepards of the characters & cannot publicly say anything like a DBZA bit in character (makes sense) but they did say pretty funny/raunchy stuff in between takes as the characters that could never be released (some was leaked a few years later, man he wasn't kidding😬). After I sat back down, the next person asked a joke question about DragonBall Evolution & Sean grabbed his mic & said "those last two questions REALLY pissed me off". I left soon after to get into the signing line before the panel was done but was denied entry by Lauren (former ScrewAttack employee, current Funimation employee at the time) who knew me from the ScrewAttack community, past cons, Facebook friends, etc (superficial stuff, basically just a hair more than acquaintances). She was super apologetic & looked genuinely bummed when she told me the line was full. All good, it's to be expected. I walked away but when I turn around to see if my friends were out of the panel yet, I see her directing people to the "full" line to meet the cast. My guess is that Sean texted her either my photo or a description of what I had on telling her to turn me away when he sulked back into his chair & pulled his phone out due to my question. Good times. 🙃

Expectation: To meet Goku Reality: Meeting Turles

[@Vintagesonic1]

A lot of people don't like Sean mainly due to how introverted he is. I'd imagine it being very mentally exhausting to talk to hundreds of different people all in a single sitting, whilst the vast majority of them asking something from you. Compare him to Chris Sabat, who is a very extroverted person, it's much easier to feel more comfortable speaking to him, as extroverted people are very outgoing which makes them easier to talk to. I understand why some would say that Sean comes off as an ass hole, especially when you're meeting him in a place where you are expected to socialize. But that doesn't inherently mean he's a bad person. Some may bring up some of his past controversies as ammo to paint him as someone malicious. But everyone makes mistakes. And as much as I believe people should be held accountable for their mistakes and actions, I don't think it's fair to assume that is their entire personality.

I dont see how he is introverted nor how being one makes you an aholes, Sean Is known for not being as great as the character that he plays and having a highhorse attitude syndrome.

I work at cons for a living so I’ve been to Many shows with Sean there. I have pictures with All the other Goku(s)(Peter Kalemas being my favorite) and I decided years ago, I needed Sean too(my least favorite) he was fine with me, but I was Really off put by how he treated the person in front of me. They were SO excited to meet him!! They waited a long time, paid a lot of money, and for a selfie. This was during the goku black arc airing, and They asked him “I was curious about why you used a different accent for goku Black vs Goku? Like a british accent?” He went off on them “I think I know how to do my job and nobody needs to tell ME how to voice Act” They didn’t mean any offense by it, but he definitely took offense!!

I met him at a con. He was super nice and friendly to me and did a Kamehameha pose with me and my sister.

[@unchartedpenguin]

I always heard mixed opinions about Sean, so when I had the chance to meet him I was surprised to see that he was quite the opposite of what people said he was like. (keep in mind that when I met him he was still recovering from his stomach issues) He had really positive energy and liked the question I asked him and gave me a pretty well thought out answer. I’m glad to say that I “saw the good side of him” as others tell me.

[@RatedEd]

I met him back at Collect-A-Con in July of 2023 in KC and he was so cool and chill with me. I have seen him come off as being mundane with other fans that were in front of me, but I felt like he was probably tired because it was day 3 and he was exhausted from working on a “secret” project which was more than likely Sparking Zero.

[@RocktoonStudios]

From all that I’ve heard read I think it depends on the approach . I seen a video awhile back with him getting mad and yelling at some people , but then to the guy that posted it or something Sean reached out and explained things and apologized and gave him his personal number and stayed in touch

[@yareyarejose5080]

I saw Sean at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

However I did want to share something positive about a very cool thing that he did for me at the first con that I met him. For some reason I was confused about the photo op schedule that I was going to have with him (apparently I missed it). When I told the ones in charge of the photo op both, they quickly reached out to Sean and he came quickly to do my photo op with me! He did not have to do that since I guess I did miss the correct time for the photo op and I will always be grateful to him for going above and beyond for me!

Now I was kinda scared because I’d heard what people have said about him but when I met him he was chill, I hit star struck when he started talking 😂. From what I remember I asked him what it was like to be someone like Goku, what’s it like that so many people know you as this iconic character. I think he was about to leave because everyone was in Chris sabats line and the voice actor for master chief who I both wanted to meet lol, but Sean’s response is a bit foggy but from what his emotions where he was basically saying it’s an experience with mixed emotions. I didn’t ask for a picture mainly because he did look tired and technically I talked to him for free since like I said his booth was empty. Good guy over all

[@wiichannel0118]

Regardless of thoughts on the Funimation cast the Japanese version is better anyway. Not only is the voice acting more professional because all of the cast came in as experienced VAs already but the dub changes stuff literally every episode of Z even if its something minor. Even in the Z redub they did they still kept the changes. Kai dub is acceptable tho

From what I’ve heard, meeting Sean seems like a Russian roulette as while I heard some bad interactions, I’ve also heard a few good interactions.

Sean probably has alot of constant pressure and is very introverted, so I think his social battery just deteriorates and with how big he is as goku's voice, He might just be used to high quality shit and expects the god treatment. I'm not sure, But someone else who met him said they had a bad experience and sean personally apologized to him, So I think he's just human like everyone else and just got too popular.
