#orion acaba

[tychos-huzband]

ok, so. in plantsv vs zombies 2, orion acaba is credited as the voice actor for crazy dave. BUT he wasn't his va in the first game. BUT I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE THAT SHOWS WHO THE ORIGINAL (AND INFINITELY BETTER) VOICE ACTOR IS

and i am getting unreasonably pissed!

Not to sound like an Orion Acaba apologist, because he did do some legitimately bad things, but like, why are there so many videos about his behavior on critical role?

Out of everything we know he did, plus what was alleged, being a bad DnD player while going through cancer and drug addiction is really not that big a deal. And remember, the actual cast of critical role, the people actually hurt by his behavior, his friends, they've let this go. He wasn't even kicked out, he left.

I don't understand this obsession with dissecting his shitty but mostly harmless actions during a really low period of his life.

These videos aren't even about the actual bad shit he did. He raised money for charity and then kept it instead of donating. A former partner has alleged he was abusive. This pales in comparison to being a problem player.

And even if people were discussing those actual bad things, what good would it do?

It's been a decade. The man is barely a public figure anymore. His behaviour cost him his spot in a multi million dollar enterprise.

Let this thing rest.

Hey, I'm looking for some advice and maybe you could help? I recently got into CR and just got caught up and finished the most recent episode in campaign 2 and tried starting campaign 1, it's just that that Orion guy is really off putting and making it hard to watch and listen to. Do you have any recommendations on dealing with him? Do I power through it, or is there something I can read to catch myself up on the episodes he's in before he was kicked off the team? Thanks in advance!

Hey, and welcome to the painful reality of early-C1 watching. I personally can’t watch those early eps at all because of how much he gets my hackles up, so I totally get not wanting to spend the next 27 episodes tolerating it.

I recommend reading recaps of the first arc ( @eponymous-rose has a fantastic episode-by-episode breakdown here! I also found this google doc which is compiled by argentumlupine). Then start watching at the Briarwoods (which I believe is episode 24). This shortens your exposure to the unpleasantness while still preparing you fully for the Briarwoods arc, some of the best Critical Role content made.

I never recommend anyone watch all of CR all the way through. It’s a bonkers amount of content, and no one should expect a fan to watch it all. If you want to, that’s your choice, but you can also do what I did and just watch the fan-made supercuts on YouTube.

Well your a stuck up opinionated that waffle. No ones perfect but orion acaba was fucking hilarious as tiberous. And to that other self opinionated that waffle bitching that orion came crawling out of his hole for money off the animated series, no he's not if they are going to remake the story from the beginning and include his character tips yes he is entitled to money from the profits involved anything before episode 28 of vox machina campaign as he was consider a core group member

Okay here we go.

I agree no one is perfect. Absolutely. I wouldn’t even call him horrible for what he did while on the show, just not a great person to play with. Whatever, I think a lot of us know people who are cool but just not fun to play with. My issue with him is that he’s a manipulative abuser who stole money.

And he absolutely did crawl out of his hole to get money. He had not interacted with the cast online until CR was in the press for breaking kickstarter records MONEY WISE. Did he pop up when they first announced the animated series? Nope. Only when they were getting thousands of dollars flowing in. He is not entitled to anything. He left the story and what should be more important is that the cast (seemingly) doesn’t want him there. They are all in charge of the story and brand of CR at this point and if they don’t want him there that’s completely their choice.

I found out people are defending Orion Acaba, if you’re one of those people go ahead and block me. That man can give a good sob story but he doesn’t mean it.

These are my testimonies from my experience with him that I posted on here. If you look there are more about his abuse and his treatment of people

Also @vecna did an amazing testimony list of what he has done

I am not good at speaking much and I try and keep my distance from anything about him. But I will let y’all decide..you can either just listen to him or see why people keep their distance from him and I would suggest the later.

[vecna]

I normally don’t make posts like this, but:

If you still defend or support Orion Acaba, just go ahead and block me.

[tumblinglringlring]

oof. defending Orion is uhhh one hell of a take

It’s more providing additional information. The main reason I made the post is because a.) there’s a lot of incorrect information floating around b.) he’s acknowledged his mistakes and is actively trying to be a better person and work through his addictions and c.) it seems like people skip his episodes without all the information and it’s a shame because there’s some good stuff in there.

If he wasn’t actively trying to work on shit, then it’d be a different story. But he’s acknowledged/owns up to his past actions and he’s sober now. Getting over drug addiction is tough, especially a meth addiction. It doesn’t excuse anything, and he recognizes that it doesn’t, and in no way am I excusing him.

I’m not sure everyone’s level of experience with drug addiction, but so long they keep trying to stay sober, fix their past wrongs (if possible), and continue to work on shit, I’ll approach them from a place of compassion, eyes open, but with empathy and compassion.

In the immortal words of BWF, don’t forget to love each other

You ever find a website that looks like it knows what it’s talking about for about three seconds, and then you realize you’re looking at the results of a machine poorly translating another machine and maybe back and forth a couple of times?

what did orion do?

SO, I don’t have all the answers myself, and the Crit Role mod team for their reddit (again, don’t know if this is actually the CR team or just the mods) very specifically asked people to stop speculating about the details in season 1 (I wasn’t a Critter then, so I’m getting all of this info secondhand)

The “official” statement (from their reddit account) FAQ was that   “He has engaged in harassing and dangerous behavior publicly against both fans and colleagues including revealing the confidential personal information (doxxing) of one of his supporters. Other accusations levied against him include fraud or misappropriation of fan-provided funds on two separate occasions”.

Of these reasons cited:

- He raised money on a kickstarter for a fan whose dad had just died and spent that money on personal items without ever sending it to her.- Apparently has a history of deleting history, such as a rant against the cast of Critical Role, which I personally don’t hold against him because I would’ve deleted that shit too. - The commonly given reason from the CR team was him fudging dice rolls, and there is a lot of argument (from what I’ve seen so far of S1) about him trying to bend the rules to fit what he wants to do. He’s also a HUUUUUGE metagamer.- Someone made a shirt on Redbubble that said “Hi my name is” “Tiberius Stormwind” “from Draconia” in a nametag style and he, since it was on Redbubble, called them a “fucking leech” for profiting off his character and that they should “consider yourself uncrittered” which the whole crew had to apologize for.

ALLEGEDLY part of his rant-video that he took down, among other Tweets and posts that he deleted, tried to claim that they kicked him out of CR because of his HIV positive status (which he is, but we know is false, just by who the CR team are as people).

I KNOW there’s more so chime in as yall want to (such as him making unwanted sexual comments) but I don’t have the evidence or drive to find it. I know that he did post numerous apologies and promised that he would do better, but I just don’t like him or his play styles in general and from browsing his Twitter he does looked to have “forgiven” the CR cast but I can’t say for sure if he’s actually gotten better or not. 

[sleepymccoy]

can I ask, what was that post about "critters" and "tiberius" about?

I am happy to tell you anon, but i dont really want to in a public setting for two main reasons, one i am not an expert in the area. I wasn't a part of the fandom at the time so everything i know is from years after the fact. I dont wanna write up a post that could get reblogged around with misinformation, even if i precursor it saying im not sure about exact timelines or details

Two, tag tho i might it might get through some peoples blocked tags and i dont wanna put that on this site, i prefer my blog to be reasonably positive. On a similar note to that, im happy talking about it now but getting a note on a post like that might upset me on another day, another mood.

So feel very welcome to dm me, i totally get the curiosity and will tell you what i know
