I sent Ty the clip from Watamote where Tomoko fantasizes about being gangraped at school so I think he has enough ammo for Monica at least.
One of the growing trends of hypocrisy lying towards the center of this case has been the flagrant double standards that the likes of Monica and Marchi have expressed in how they are treating the "misconduct" they can actually pin on Vic, namely the jelly bean incident and its ilk. In a different work environment, one very professional and formal, maybe such things could be construed as out of line. But as mentioned by Nick and Ty, Funimation is a very sexualized environment both in content production and work culture. Examples in this thread from panty and Stocking, to Shimoneta, to Watamote, to Highschool DxD, all have content far more severe than anything Vic is accused of perpetuating.

To this end, I would like to add for the record an example of this workplace culture from J Michael Tatum that he recounted in a recorded panel on Youtube. He tells a story from the dubbing of Hetalia, where his character had to go on a long and sexually explicit monologue that would be later censored for comedic effect. Yet in the base recording, it is very explicit, beyond what was needed for the line recording. He mentions that the sound engineer was stunned, and that he would make sure that Todd Haberkorn heard the full version when recording his lines in turn. Tatum concludes that later he met Todd outside the recording booth area and that he teased and verbally jabbed at him. These actions would in any other environment be both harassment and very unprofessional, yet Tatum recounted this casually with great humour.

The VAs have a long history of recounting equally raunchy stories at 18+ Panels and the such.
Its beyond parody that they make livings off such content and then cry about a jelly bean. Like if Hollywood were to lecture us about violence and gore while making billions off such content...

I'd been looking for a video of Tatum telling this story for @jellycar and had pretty much given up. I don't think this is from the same panel video I originally heard it in but close enough; listening to this guy talk is the worst.
