Yeah, I had to do some digging, because a lot of this shit has been buried under the harassment allegations and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't misremembering. It went deeper than I remembered. He didn't just hold Sunday services at cons. His "Risembool Rangers" (to avoid copyright infringement) would arrange bible studies sessions, and he'd give out CDs of him reading bible passages in "Edward's voice". Being open about your faith is one thing, but what fucking right did he have to appropriate a character he didn't own to peddle his beliefs like that?

I'd forgotten about the homophobia too. He voiced Fai D Flourite in Tsubasa Chronicles, and during a panel when a fan brought up his character's close relationship with Kurogane, another male character, he claimed that he "spoke with CLAMP" and they confirmed that Fai was 100% Not Gay and actually interested in a female character. And when fans had follow-up questions he had nothing to say because obviously he pulled that out of his ass. I don't follow CLAMP stories, but as I understand it these two characters are literal soulmates, and their relationship is heavily queer-coded, if not explicitly gay.

It's like he was afraid voicing a gay character would turn him gay by association. It goes without saying that he hated Roy/Ed shippers, but many always have since it's a pairing that involves an underage boy. Still, it's rich that he would have problems with shippers considering his own "Edward as a bible thumper" fanfiction.
