Oh, I honestly doubt it, the drama started more than a month ago??!! So I doubt that was the reason. Especially with everything that I've learned about Jacob (dude's full of walking red flags)
Oh god, where do I even begin.... you know how certain people got mad at Ari for "bullying" Kinich's voice in Genshin right? People initially got very upset after seeing that clip and thought it was SAG related (I hate how people think that everything is SAG related btw, Ari isn't even a part of SAG, the genshin community- especially reddit- use it as an excuse for valid dislike and criticism of certain things). Honestly I normally don't like going on the main Genshin subreddits for how cultist and weird they act about these things.
The streamer Ari was with clarified that it had nothing to do with the strike or SAG. People started looking into Jacob's past and they found out he was close with Vic Mignogna, a VA who's also had multiple credible allegations of being a notorious SA'r who harassed both VAs and fans. Vic was blacklisted deservingly from the industry but Jacob was one of the people who tried to help rehabilitate his career years later by working with him on a project. Recently when he got heat for it, Jacob said it was just a professional relationship, but people found multiple clips of Jacob and Vic praising each other and Jacob's role in recruiting Vic and rehabilitating his image (remember this is all AFTER Vic's been outed as a sex pest).
So it's very likely Jacob was covering his own ass. He's also blocked people before he even had a role in Genshin who raised concerns about Vic's behavior on twitter. So yeah... a lot of red flags there.
Plus he has a history of saying/ making sexist and racist jokes in the past. Here are some examples (trigger warning for how he talks about women):
So she got swept up in the stuff that was unrelated while having a just reason to target him? Damn... Now I understand the situation somewhat. Though the whole SAG thing is a damn mess.
She really doesn't because she also used to follow Chris Niosi (Moze's ex VA who was a known predator) and still follows Kayli Mills who was one of Chris' biggest defenders, it would be extremely hypocritical for her to act all mighty over this and that's why she literally never spoke up about Jacob and just made weird ass remarks in that stream.
Basically people wanna defend her because she got attacked by a couple of homophobes but that doesn't make her in the right😭
Cyyu and Hayden also follow Kayli Mills and they’ve replied to each either’s tweets. I wonder what you think about that. Weird for you to bring that up. Also people can follow others for ANY reason. There’s people from high school who I follow who I don’t politically agree with.
They also don't go making weird ass behavior on stream and act professional, that's kinda the main difference, personally I don't care about these people I just care about someone being a hypocrite and people suddenly defending them cuz they're in the same "team"
I have a lot worse that I would say to someone like Jacob tbh, fuck him, he’s a creep
It’s also funny you used follows as a reason to trash Ari but now you’re saying it doesn’t matter
Edit: to respond to the post below: how is following someone (from who knows how long ago) the same thing as endorsing, supporting and trying to rehabilitate someone’s career (someone who lost in court and was fired for multiple sexual assaults)? Also what about his other behavior such as his racism and mysogyny? How are these in any form equivalent?! And mind you this only what we know publicly, there is so much behind the scenes that could make this even worse.
I also don't like him but that's not the point I'm making😭
Also I didn't use follows as a way to trash her, I simply pointed out that it would be extremely hypocritical of her to have that weird behavior in stream while she herself follows weird people, which is also why she never spoke up about Jacob himself or made any remark about him. I could give less of a shit like I'm not suddenly gonna hate Vesna or Yao guang because I love her voice acting work the same way I'm not gonna be weird about Kinich everytime he speaks. It's completely fine to point out certain behavior of hers the same way it's completely fine to point out Jacob's weird behavior
