This whole thing exposes why the game industry never should have allowed professional voice actors to be a thing. Especially since anyone with a little training can design a whole character from scratch, do all their art and do the entire voice acting in their bedroom over a weekend.
I mean it is just talking, speech impediments aside every single one of us could do it with the right coaching.

User Banned (Duration Pending): Hijacking a thread about minority to concerns and instead centring it on a non-marginalised group.At least be clear about what you are saying.Opinions like, "Expats are racist immigrants" or "white dudes married to asians are annoying" need more explanation if you ask me.
User Banned (Duration Pending): Hijacking a thread about minority to concerns and instead centring it on a non-marginalised group. Previously banned for dismissing minority perspectives.For some reason I've got Less than Jake's "Just Like Frank" playing in my head.On paper, I am Frank. All white immigrants in Asia know a Frank. And if you don't, well...... It kinda sucks that are also plenty of people out there (and here) chomping at the bit to invalidate any white immigrant's lived experience because they enjoy the schadenfreude. That shit makes me feel like I can't talk about my life here from a cultural perspective. I get it, though.
User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing Minority Perspectives on Racial Issues in a Sensitive ThreadWe've got evidence that something can be done and concrete examples of how to do it, instructions on how to put a little bit of light back into the world, but some of you would rather stay angry. I feel bad that you've gotten to this point, but man...
Gorbag was an Uruk captain from Minas Morgul who commanded an orc company. In the film adaptation, he is a crook-legged orc instead and gets killed by Sam.

It must get a bit old to be constantly looking for something to be outraged about every day
could be money laundering involved as this guy can spend like 315K USD like is nothing just for a Custom pc build...
I haven't read every page but from what I can gather he was doing the running man on TikTok which is against the terms of his Twitch contract and found to be laundering money for David Icke before getting raided by the feds after a tip off from Tekashi 69?
Have no credible information. I’m not a pundit. I’m a guy who is assessing the situation and making an educated speculation
I don’t know about this. The whole point of being a good actor is to do a believable portrayal. The idea is to play something you are not. I get the “x is taking a role that could have been played by a minority” argument but there is more to it than that. Having someone well-known (regardless of sexuality) playing a gay or trans role brings the title more publicity and more attention is brought to LGTB issues.I’m not saying all LGTB characters therefore should be played by the most well-known actors but just that there is some value “for the cause” when it happens. It’s not per default a negative. Brokeback Mountain would not have had the impact (or wide release) it had if the actors hadn‘t been as well-known. All actors should be allowed to play all roles. That’s what acting is about.
It's 2020.If you're still trying to have a "reasonable discussion" on Era the internet, you have it comin'.

Some of you go out your way to miss the point when you go for the meritocracy argument.This is really fucking simple.There is 0 explanation or reason to justify or equivocate why minorities shouldn't be able TO PLAY THEMSELVES in productions. ESPECIALLY when they are horribly undercasted and get less opportunities for roles to begin withYou sound fucking stupid as fuck trying to argue against that in any capacity

Was before Corona anyway) with Trans actors/actresses in it. Miss me with that bullshit.There's a case for voice-actors as a "mountain out of a molehill" reasoning (you're not going to see the voice person so who gives a fuck) but there is valid reasoning for "ya'll should hire an actual trans person" for trans roles.
lotr employed plenty of little people for various shots but I think the production was overall better for using talented normal-sized people for the lead dwarves and halflings

There is no such thing as "the best person for the role". PERIOD.This is a logical fallacy presented by people who do not want to confront the realities of racism in the acting world. There are MILLIONS of actors and actresses on this planet. It is statistically impossible for any one actor to be the "best person" suited for a given role because there is someone, somewhere, who would be better at the job than they are.

"Gay actors for gay roles only" just exacerbates the idea that gay people are "other" in some way, and that a character can and should be reduced to their sexual preference.

“Finally confirms”? I could swear it was already confirmed years ago in an interview somewhere.
QuoteHonestly it feels like Germany is a better standard bearer of the ideals America aspires to than America.Yeah, Germany, the country that keeps turning more and more racist every year. You know the country where an actual facist from the right wing racist party AfD, became the head of state in Thuringia. A literal neo Nazi.Trump is a blip. While Germany seems to be reckoning with their history by, going back to their nationalistic and racist roots. Considering Trump is a blip, the overall path of America is still progression.While, Germany is going backwards, become more racist and right wing, steadily. I mean, its not a surprise. I just think a lot of Reset have zero idea of what European culture is really like. Mostly speaking, PC culture is not a thing that is believed in, in Europe.One also needs to remember minorities are also far far more affluent in America than Germany. Black and brown folk who live in Germany will tell you how bad and embedded on a cultural level racism is against them. Thats the thing about most of Europe its just a part of their culture in a cellular manner. Germanys most read news paper is also a vile rightwing rag, that would make Fox News blush. Seriously, far far more offensive than even Fox News. I don't think people understand how bad and vile a lot of the European media landscape is. How warped their people have now become.

User Warned: low effort drive byOkedit: Mods please remove the warning on this. I made a low effort post because that’s all this thread deserved. OP felt guilty about being a racist, and came here selfishly to get some kind words that his friends did not provide him. Glad OP feels shitty and I hope he knows not to do it again, but I don’t see the point of patting a person on the back for feeling bad about being racist. Lock this thread, ban OP, remove my warning, and handover administrator rights to me.
