Vic Mignona Controversy
At the beginning of 2019 Rooster Teeth cut ties with Vic Mignogna, the voice of Qrow, after a number of sexual harassment allegations surfaced. Rumours of such allegations had been in circulation for years and had already lead some to be uncomfortable with Mignogna's role in RWBY. However, there are Vic Mignogna fans who vocally maintain that he is innocent. These fans were angry when Qrow's voice was recast, and some decided to boycott the show.
