It gets worse in voiceover.
Had a role for years as a kid, and now there's a sequel series coming where the character is an adult, and you're now old enough to play her this way too?
FUCK YOU, Michaela Jill Murphy (formerly Jessie Flower)! You're not Toph anymore! A blind character MUST be played by a BLIND ACTRESS, and preferably an Asian one since the character is clearly Chinese-coded! Dionne Quan, you're in!
...Seriously, they're doing that. The actor must share the same disability. In VOICEOVER.
Dionne Quan is a good actress, but come on, even Crunchyroll brought back Chuck Huber to voice Android 17 in Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, and he's very openly pro-Trump! How the fuck are you worse than Crunchyroll?!
I met and talked to Murphy at a con a couple of years back. The woman knows her shit. She got screwed.
(EDIT: Her middle name is Jill, not Lee. Fixed.)
