Does anyone have the context of why this drama started in the first place? Was this some kind of leftist activism? Or is it english VAs trying to sabre rattle over AI not realising they're just shit and no one likes them? When I tried Genshin Impact the first thing I did was immediately switch to the Japanese VAs.
Yes I am one of those people who is strictly against English dubbing because I'm not an illiterate peasant that can't read subtitles.
In general? The usual lefty bullshit, 'this isn't diverse enough so you need to add more blacks' or some variation of the usual retarded-ness. Then they got told to basically pound sand and started throwing temper tantrums all over social media.
I recently saw an anime called Astra Lost in Space.
In the dub, the character Ulgar is voiced by a relative newcomer named Christopher Dontrell Piper, and if you couldn't tell from his middle name that he's black, you could sure tell in his performance, as his blaccent (what a weird word) kept bleeding through into his performance. They really didn't have any other takes to use? His acting itself was fine...
Then again, that show's dub was pretty cursed to begin with. The character Luca is revealed halfway through to have been born intersex, and he's voiced by trans actor Ciaran Strange.
And the main character is voiced by the once-great Josh Grelle...just before he announced his transition and changed his name to Jessie James Grelle.

Imagine watching anime without subtitles...what a horrid way to live.
I'm watching anime not words
