The voice acting industry has always had the glaring hole of "young boys? Eh we can just let any woman voice them, fuck it." Its such a common thing, with so little thought, that many women made their entire career doing it and they probably truly didn't even consider the hypocrisy this might display.
It annoys me a lot because its so rampant that during the "upgrades" Kai did to DBZ they decided Gohan sounding actually like a boy (despite having a female VA, she put in work trying) wasn't necessary and just let a woman make him sound like a full girl his entire childhood. And let's not get started on Granny Goku in Japan.
I never find them convincing either. The most recent one I really noticed was Tears of the Kingdom with the little boy bird character being voiced by a woman. Bitch wasn't even trying.
It is so common I remember it being a little jarring, but was pleasantly surprised, hearing Alfonse in FMA voiced by a real boy Aaron Dismuke instead of a woman. Its so normal that when I googled the VAs name to make sure I got it right the article that popped up said as Aaron had aged out of the role in Brotherhood he was replaced with Maxey Whitehead (♀️) to be more accurate to the manga.
Us "original was better than Brotherhood" Chads staying winning.
