V.A. : Why are we losing jobs? Why are we getting replaced with A.I. ?!

Also V.A. :

[MmMm-ydrn]

"Do some research and show some cultural appreciation"
Mean while assassin's creed....

[Lin-ijvk]

Mihoyo won't listen and I doubt the VA will ever be replaced unless the VAs refuse to work in protest. I doubt the voice director for Genshin would think it's worth the trouble of replacing the VAs just because they expressed their views (and even then it's probably just a few tweets and nothing more after that).

[moonduck]

Ah but it’s ok to make Greek and Norse gods and goddesses black, Asian etc, because it’s just a fantasy game? They’re hypocrites.

[Corrderio]

Funny how they're upset about this but not batting an eye about Assassin's Creed.

[Ability-King-KK]

Someone remind the VAs that they have only ONE job and it's NOT to be SJWs.

[mrbisshie]

If I know anything about a Chinese company, and if I wanted to keep getting paid, I'd know to keep my mouth shut about this.

[Swarm]

Virtue signalling is a hell of a drug.

[zekeiyf]

V.A. yelling at company: You're racist!
Company: We're not hiring you.
V.A. pounding table like a child: I'm poor!

[PotatoGurlSasha]

Jonah Scott woke up one morning and random posted a small tweet about Taiwan.
Got fired in a Chinese Otome game called Mr. Love, his VA coworkers asked to bring his job back or else they won't work.
They all got fired. Oh and two of the VAs are now on Genshin, while he is probably blacklisted from ever doing Chinese media.

I hate to see them lose their roles so I really wish they be more cautious. Hell even Kinich VA is joining the bandwagon. Like dude, how much did you didn't realize that your character isn't as dark as you like? You're probably the ones that advocate black voice blacks, so you should have known you're not voicing someone with dark skin.
Won't really impact me that much, since I usually play games in their original language. In my case, I play Chinese, but EN voices are distinguishable.

[ToddTheTolerable]

Hoyo reacts when and only when the Chinese audience throws a fit.

[gemgem-hlii]

Egyptian deities have been used in a lot of fiction and they look different in a lot of them, but you don't see the Egyptians complaining.

[stewarde]

so a Norwegian mermaid being turn black is ok, but a character base off a god no one knows has to be black. Double standards got to love it

[Nagalior]

I never thought people who don't really have a stable job would want to get fired this badly

[nitogame]

Meanwhile CN, JP and KR are all happy and praising Hoyo for great character designs and laughing ant the western meltdown.

[Zombi.K]

Twitter:Oh my god this company needs to change their charecters now

Also twitter:Wow so stunning and brave of ubisoft to make a black samurai (that nobody hardley knows anything about)assasins creed game

[Darkness-byod]

Not that long ago a game called Snowbreak I believe...a EN VA cameout against the fan service in the game. After which the dev announced they would stop supporting the EN voicelines and fired basicly the entired EN VA team.

[shijai]

Those voice actors can kiss their contracts goodbye then. Imagine biting the hand that feeds you.

[agentcazu]

And yet these same individuals are not in an uproar about the AC Shadows debacle.
