Crunchyroll is firing and recasting Mob Psycho 100 Voice Actors and Staff to stop unionization efforts.

Kyle McCarley, the English Dub VA for Mob, helped organize his coworkers and is almost certainly not returning for season 3. The ADR Director of both previous seasons has also confirmed that he will not be returning to the project.

If you like Mob Psycho 100, consider pirating it instead of watching it on official platforms. Also consider contacting Crunchyroll and voicing how awful it is to treat their casts this way.

hey, sorry to add to your post, but i think an important clarification is needed, because crunchyroll did not, in fact, fire Kyle McCarley — what they did is, arguably, much worse. info from above kotaku article, which is in turn heavily sourced from McCarleys own accont

they didnt fire him — he wasnt working for them at the time, given the actors are signed on season-by-season basis. they reached out to him and were willing to pay him a higher, union wage. since he was returning for third season, McCully was willing to work under a non union contract, but he added one condition, that the company will hold a meeting with him and other union representatives to discuss possible future projects/collaboration. he did not ask for them to commit to ANYTHING but a meeting. they have literally GHOSTED him, and when he reached out himself, reinstating that they are only asking for a meeting, nothing more — he was thoroughly denied

so basically, they didnt fire someone for organising — they refused returning work for an actor based on union activity. which imo is even worse, showing utter disregard for an establishment union, and the fact that they have NO PLANS to work with one, or even consider working with a union, because i guess having working conditions where actors dont fuck up their voices is too much for them

tldr they didnt fire him— they refused to re-sign a NON UNION contract because he added one stipulation — that a single meeting with union representatives will be held

so yeah. make a complaint to crunchyroll, if you havent already

More gay and bisexual men will now be able to donate blood under finalized FDA rules

While the number of people eligible to donate blood has expanded, the agency says it will continue to monitor the safety of the blood supply

The article says that the guidelines have been updated. Instead of asking if you’re a man that’s had sex with another man in the past 3 months it asks everyone regardless of gender if they’ve had anal sex with a new partner or if they’ve had anal sex with multiple partners in the past 3 months.

This both opens up blood donation to msm in exclusive relationships or who don’t have anal sex and more accurately identifies hiv risk from people who aren’t msm. This is exactly the sort of guidelines we’ve been fighting for for years. This is a major win for both gay rights and blood donation in the US. Now a bunch of people who couldn’t donate before can donate now.
