I no longer audition for roles of people of color

So I guess you won't be doing any anime dubs anymore right?

Because those light skinned characters aren't actually white.

In fact, why don't you give your job up to a colored person POC since you are apparently so wealthy that you can afford to choose your jobs.

Since the anime characters are drawn literally the color yellow, they don't count as PoC and are fine.

Yeah, I can think of a few anime series that have a majorly white cast, but those a very much the minority. The vast, vast majority of anime series are about Japanese people.

The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are Fullmetal Alchemist and Gunsmith Cats.

Hellsing, Spice and Wolf, Trinity Blood, Attack on Titan, Gunslinger Girl, and Baccano all have majority white casts, but they're a drop in the bucket compared to Japanese-majority anime.

The whole point of voice acting is that it doesn't matter what you look like.

That’s why there’s a voice for radio, and a face for radio too

It only doesn't matter if you're black. Then you can voice whatever role you want!

there are very very few fansub groups out there now those that do exist are going through a dwindling backlog of really really obscure anime released once on laserdisc during a blue moon on a freezing day in July

most of the stuff released on the bootleg websites (nya.si etc) is just ripped from the western localiser (Crunchyroll netflix etc) so those versions are very much at the whims of whatever chucklefuck does the subs

The rise of easily accessed mainstream sources for both dubs AND subs like Crunchyroll/Funimation has basically killed the fansub industry. They still exist, but only for the most obscure of things that don't get translated otherwise.

Which means the same issues dubs have, are now also plaguing subs. The only thing you miss is the bad voice acting, but the scripts are still fucked either way.

Yeah, I notice there's a ton of localization in subs now that wasn't there back in the heyday of fansubbing. Back in the day instead of trying to localize shit, half the time you'd get a literal translation and a note from the subber explaining the cultural significance of whatever it was that didn't really have a good english line equivalent. It was nice to learn something of a different culture. Now it's just a butchered script and we barely even get honorifics being translated properly.

And because of the prevalence of "keikaku means plan," there was a culture around the entire thing that just assumed you probably knew shit and they didn't even need to waste brain power trying to figure out how to translate it.

It also gatekept the normies out, which is always a good thing.

Faggots try to inject their faggotry into the translations.

If he wants to take himself put of voice acting that's fine, give it to someone who can do it excellently.

Oh yeah Chad from Bleach, he's half Japanese half Mexican so if you shove it on some black diversity hire you're racist and should sick the cartels on you.

You, of course, also feel that people of color shouldn't audition for ethnically white characters, right?

Oh, and for the record, he wouldn't have been paid much at all for TYBW. Chad is basically NONEXISTENT in it.

I didn't even realize he was on social media, because despite being one of the most active VAs, you never hear anything from or about him, which I considered smart.

... maybe ai/robots should voice aliens just to cause a few more meltdowns. i mean we DO have things like vocaloid so it shouldnt be too much of a stretch.

I would disagree that subs are better than dubs if all anime were dubbed like this

Also, I watch dubbed from time to time because I can multitask and only focus when something exciting is happening. Most mainstream anime is draggy as fuck.

And not just any subs either, preferable fansubs or subs confirmed not written by a leftist activist.

Oh for the love of god.

There's countless White/asian characters voiced by black voice actors which I am 100% fine with because I have more important things to care about.

There's also countless black characters voiced by Whites, which I equally don't care about.

This retard realizes that anime is not real people, right?

What he really means is: "They didn't want to rehire my dumbass. All well, I made more money than you will in your entire lifetime I can do things you cannot, like pass on employment opportunities. So give me the one thing my hallow life craves, your admiration in the form of fake Internet points."

Jokes on him through, I'm seventeen seasons into listening Hiroki Yasumoto's voice.
