Yeah, I don't know a whole lot about the sexual harassment allegations, but there have been a lot of them. I was new in anime fan spaces in the mid 2000s, and I remember he had a thing where he would basically proselytize at conventions. He called his fans the "Resembool Rangers", and he would hold Christian sermons for them at cons. FMA03 was a show that helped me work through a lot of religious trauma I had from childhood, and it always rubbed me the wrong way that he used his popularity from voicing Edward to spread religious sentiment. He also had the attitude of someone who thought he was like a rock star. Something almost felt wannabe cult leaderish to me. Given that behavior, it would not surprise me if he had been inappropriate with fans, but I really haven't followed the allegations at all.
I also don't like English VAs with a limited vocal range, even if they are a decent actor. I have the same problem with Johnny Yong Bosch. I end up only thinking about a previous character they voiced, or, more likely, the VA themselves.
I do think that the 03 dub had some good writing and good deliveries, and I think Vic was a good pick for Ed, controversies aside. And I do kind of like his cover of the OST song "Bratja". But I just can't listen to that dub anymore. I can't speak to the Brotherhood dub since I only ever watched it subbed.
