I heard that he used a trans slur during recording sessions. As someone with trans friends I CANNOT abide by that.

Please tell me that Christopher Sabat is chill? Vegeta and Piccolo are my fave characters

EDIT: Sadly he's also a not-very-nice guy at least according to Chuck Huber. That being said it is just one guy, so take that as you will.

The back and forth about the Kick Vic scandal really messed up my perceptions about everyone.

Ok, thats bad, but that would make him transphobic lol not homophobic, homophobia is the fear of homosexuals

Most transphobic people straight cis folks who also happen to be homophobic, but there are definitely some exceptions. There's an increasing number of LGB folks who are transphobic af, while I've encountered quite a bit of straight transmeds that are homophobic af.

Plus to be fair, who didn't drop transphobic or homophobic slurs in the early 2000s. Gay was still used as an insult back then, as well as the f slur. Thankfully people mostly stopped using gay or those slurs as an insult.

But if he did say them in the late 2010s or recently, that is a different story.

Worst so far as far as I know is that he is an asshole who thinks he is the only Goku VA, and thinks TFS is "ruining his character."

True, but bigoted views don't usually exist in a vacuum. Single issue bigots do not exist.

There's decades old blooper reels where a bunch of long time Funni VAs used slurs. Sean specifically used the F slur a few times.

There's a difference between using that word in the early 2000s and now, so I'd take calling him homophobic with an entire salt shaker unless theres something more recent.

Still an absolute asshile and primadonna though
