And I disagree with that. As I said, I see this as part of the entertainment industry as a whole, so the risk is inherent with the job, which is also the viewpoint taken by the victim himself.

And yes, the internet has blown it out of proportion. Perhaps whoever thought of this should have considered the nature of the internet.

The issue is not about ideals of professionalism or integrity. The issue goes down to what I said earlier about there being too many aspiring actors and limited spotlight, or in the case of the anime industry, limited positions available. Given that the the victim is a B-lister, the explosion of this incident will only serve as a black mark on him, and gives little reason for him to be hired when there's hundreds, even thousands of other B-list VAs waiting in line.
