That reply by Ricky is just so....flawless

 

[Krappadizzle]

If your face or voice even comes close to recognizable based off that monster, you have bigger things to worry about.

 

[Hrk69]

That last paragraph is pure fucking comedy

 

[Doomtrain]

Is their argument seriously that they... didn't expect the monster in the horror game to be unsettling?

 

[Icymanipulator]

Person got paid for a job to do voice work, now wants more money. Hmmm

Also, clearly it’s hard for some people to separate themselves from fantasy. You did voice work, you are not actually that fictional creature. That creature doesn’t exist. It’s just a game. Wow.
What an idiot.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Best developers there ever was.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Fucking ROFLMAO

Might even say it's....posthumurous

 

[Krappadizzle]

Both devs and that voice actor deserve blowback for separate reasons for even choosing to work with each other.

2024 is wild for mental problems.

He's physically at risk of being attacked you guys this is serious

 

[semiconscious]

'it has ruined my reputation, has put me physically at risk for being attacked in public if anybody recognizes my face or voice...'

'attacked in public'? attacked by who? & why? the only people offended by this will be the same people who promote gender ideology, meaning this person's afraid that these people will attack them? what? why in the hell would anyone else not offended even bother?...

 

[TheInfamousKira]

If anyone recognizes my face, it's over!

That's not The Unknown

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

he’s so afraid for his safety that he made a public stink about it and drew tons of attention to himself. Nobody would even know about this if not for his tweet.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

It's pretty distasteful especially if you don't know what it looks like but I find it hard to believe people were attacking them for this.
As long as I get paid for the work that's all that would matter imo.

Also, as an ACTUAL progressive and not whatever terminally online leftists are trying to pass off as progressive these days: it kind of sucks that the message this sends to developers is "don't hire transpeople; they're difficult to work with and will smear you for imagined slights."

I think sometimes about the Queer Eye show, where the overall message is "gay people are super friendly and they'll help you get in shape/learn to cook/upgrade your house/etc. etc." The trans activist community has basically done the exact opposite. I have nothing against transpeople and on the whole, I wish them well, but the activist contingent is fucking them over royally.

 

[tommycronin]

Best casting decision I've ever seen

 

[Saber]

So the people(trans community) this guy sided with has "harassed and upped arms against him" and now he was like putting the blame on the character and people who hired him, not the people who are hunting him?

Is this supposed to be taken seriously?

 

[Draugoth]

This VA should stop using twitter and go to an actual psychiatrist

 

[Manuscript Replica]

I stopped reading after “it was my assumption”. Why would they take your medical history and identity and design something around it?

I don’t care either way though

this. it's not complicated. they aren't promoting trans people. they're promoting themselves...

[Pejo]

A great facsimile of my face when reading the title then opening the thread...

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

I'm confused. So, the argument is that the character has both a male and female voice? And this design is considered transphobic because the monster is portrayed as a man in a dress? and the voice actor identifies or sees herself as the monster, because she is trans?....is this like method acting or something?

Regardless, we have another case of the Streisand effect.... these people never learn because they just want attention

I hope the day is coming where LGB rejects the T. They’re tarnishing everything LGB has done.

The same thing happened on the Helldivers discord. They were trying to make the community all about them and eventually the devs said fuck off. Now they’re raging about it on Reddit. There seems to be a serious shift happening all the sudden.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

That's not The Unknown

I live in the walls and perform microagressions!

All while the actually decent trans people, many whom are suffering (for various reasons) get left in the cold OR WORSE, can't get the help they need because something like, idk, de-transitioning is considered transphobic.

a freak voiced by a freak, good job

Can’t argue with the hiring here when they fit the role.

...In b4 the lock?

 

[kiphalfton]

I bet you they'd probably tell him he doesn't understand.

 

[DrFigs]

I get being upset that you're playing an unattractive character... but she must've known the character was a monster this whole time at the very least.

 

[Putonahappyface]

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Except not!

 

[Arsic]

I’m excited for the devs to reply that we did tell this clown shoe what the character was and sent images.

Idk how you can act, or voice act, without knowing the role. You need guidance, descriptions, images, etc.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

The first part does seem pretty cruel if it went down like that. Trans folk are people too. It's the trumpet blowing in the second part that takes the wind out of it..

So much so that I'll call bullshit on the whole affair. And what 'perfect' timing too, considering the SBI bullshit in gaming that's blown up

Can we just get back to professionals making games. Cheers.

Enough with the Mickey Mouse bullshit.

Dude is the goat. His self-deprecating humor is unparalleled.
