It pains me to write this on a day that should be filled with nothing but celebration and admiration toward my peers. To feel as though there is a corporate flyer with a risk assessment eval stating how much one can get away with before receiving an inordinate amount of backlash.

We can sit here and argue the merits of "right for the role" vs "auto cast because of ethnicity" but let's also not pretend that the quality provided by minority actors is less than the quality of their peers. Inclusion gives us the ability to tell the stories of our backgrounds.
Even if it is a cookie cutter project where race ultimately could be neglected, character coding still exists, therefore bringing forth racial relatability to minority consumers. Unfortunately, the more obscure the minority, the easier it is to sweep under the rug. Sad but true.
I have a duty to my peers to use my platform. To speak for those whose voices go unheard. May there come a day where the ambiguous nature of remote recording allowances is foregone and opportunities are provided to actors and directors alike to make the best possible products.

I'm out of the loop, what did I miss. My TL has been almost exclusively FFXIV drama for the past... 3 days.
But you're totally correct. Growing up and not seeing people of color in media in general has certainly impacted the perception i have on myself.
Replying to
I have no idea what specific case brought this on but I agree with what you're saying.

Representation truely matters in all forms. Hopefully, there comes a day when it's so common place that Celebration of Representation is no longer needed. But I feel lately that is an unrealistic ideal dream.

Everyone can act to voice any role to perform. You're priorities very high are trying to put foreign VA instead of english VA's who could range. I feel like you insulting VA's who are giving opportunity and accusing them of racism. You're such a spiteful person really.
Replying to
Yes. But, Suletta is from bloody Planet Mercury, not in some country on Earth. Goku ain't Japanese, either because Japan doesn't exist in Dragon Ball. To cry foul over her English VA in this context is just ridiculous.
Replying to
We didn't ask u to speak for us we can speak for ourselves we have been forever
Replying to
No one but Japanese should be voicing Anime then. All y'all can be fired, goodBYE!
Replying to
Don't you VA for ethnically Japanese characters? None of this means anything unless you practice what you're preaching dude.
Replying to
To anyone who thinks what he saying is what he believes look at the roles he has played and the hypocrisy is clear. I honestly shouldn't care maybe if they get people who fit the character by race and not because they fit the role voice acting dubs will get even worse and die out
Replying to
No, not really. Your duty is to play a character, sir. All you’ve done with this thread is make yourself look silly.

So you got a role in Gundam Witch From Mercury but you're upset your friend didn't get the main role and you decide to cause unnecessary drama because of it?
Talk about biting the hand that feeds...
I hope they recast your role with someone who isn't as ungrateful as you.
Replying to
You dont care about your peers. you are attacking two women who got roles you dont think they deserve.
Replying to
Eventually, in the not too distant future, AI voice actors will speak for those whose voices go unheard. That day there will be true equity as everyone will be excluded.
Replying to
This tweet should be marked NSFW if youre gona just jerk off infront of everyone here
Replying to
So you're going to stop voicing your Genshin Impact character because you're not their race?
Replying to
Minorities don't need you to speak for them. Stop patronizing, it's cringe.
