Never meet your Heroes is an expression meaning you build an ideological version of them that turns out contrary to expectations. It doesn't mean they are all bad, just curb expectations, because your experience may shatter the preconceived image you created. I totally didn't mean any passive hate, just telling a story about pettiness him and me. Also, not really trying to devalue his contributions to the PR community, because he did have a huge following and was a part of it so long.I have met some of my heros IRL being Toshimichi Mori(BlazBlue), Vic Mignogna(Full Metal Alchemist) and Johnny Yong Bosch(Power Ranger & alot of anime....). Even though one of theme could not speak English none of them were ass hats when I talk to them. The "Never meet your Heroes" saying is not always true.
Hell, I still like Will Smith movies, even if I'm no longer a fan of him.
I met Vic a few times, even with his allegations, he was a pretty standup guy every time I met him. I met a lot of those early 2000's VA like Scott Menville, Tara Strong, Steve Blum, Richard Ian Cox, Kirby Morrow(R.I.P.). Even some legendary guys like Cam Clarke.
