I wish they would do one with Bub chasing and shooting at Rhodes in the bunker from Day Of The Dead.

 

[BlueLyria]

I don't get it....
Unknown is one of the coolest designs from DBD alongside with the Dredge, it's a horror game, killers are way better when they're unnatural abominations (Yes, I'm not a huge fan of the pretty Korean boy even though his gameplay is cool). Why complain that the deformed abomination trying to look and sound slightly human IN THE HORROR GAME is exactly that? Also, not a huge fan of people using this as an excuse to attack trans identity

 

[cormack12]

I mean aside from all the drama and underlying seriousness people generated this is proper belly laugh funny. Why can't people see the funny side of stuff?

 

[Tangerine]

What a joke. Still, feels like they saw which way the wind was blowing and instead of doubling down they backtracked.

They're learning! Sort of!?

 

[Kikorin]

This is one of the most nonsense and comical situation I've ever seen.

 

[STARSBarry]

not in the loop, misunderstanding... blabla
Instead of communicating with the involved parties directly, they are making a public statement for everyone to misinterpret. Genzees, Millenials, woke, alfabet whatever it is, people are just weird while they, mostly younger ones, should actually be much more adapted to the traps and rules of the internet. Craving some support from their bubbles but hating any form of criticism, instead of actually talking creating pointless drama.

I mean the issue is "for everyone to misinterpret" look at the original statement, they claim the natural next step is reparations for a "clearly TRANSPHOBIC character skin." They are literally gaslighting by pretending what they said prior was different, it wasn't. They wanted to demand more money for being tricked.

 

[Chuck Berry]

The timing of this whole thing couldnt be more impeccable. Jesus christ

 

[systemr123]

how is this an issue? you got paid and will be credited. That monster actually looks cool imo. The sensitivity here is out of charts

It’s sensitivity level is over 9000!

 

[midnightAI]

And now noone will employ you due to potential backlash if you don't like the end product

 

[K' Dash]

 

[Roxkis_ii]

The irony being that this whole thing says more about what that VA thinks of themselves then anything else. Any other VA wouldn't have even complained.

 

[platina]

Yup too much colateral now. “Reparations” congratulations you idiot

 

[Warnen]

So how many posts does The VA have on resetera?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

From now on, trans voice actors can only be used for attractive characters.

 

[mnkl13]

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

As a member of the LGB community i aprove this message.

 

[Bernoulli]

 

[Arsic]

Same neck energy for sure.

Once people hear the voice IRL though…

 

[platina]

Of course she did

 

[Alebrije]

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[SmokedMeat]

Imagine thinking you’re so famous that people are going to recognize you or your voice via a videogame monster.

 

[tommycronin]

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Hahaha. To be fair, kind of looks like her with the hair.

Not sure why any VA would complain. Your face is in the game too as a bonus. lol

 

[Mephisto40]

I can 100% guarantee nobody is going to look at her resume and say "We aren't hiring you because you voiced a monster in a dress"

 

[platina]

He was literally poking fun saying they used his likeness and now people are saying he’s transphobic the jokes write themselves

 

[Chuck Berry]

Pure. Narcissism.

They all suffer from it.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I agree.

But like every wacky emotional person on social media, they think the world revolves around them. Me! Me! Me! Everyone focus on ME!

As if the other 8 billion people on earth really think about their miserable life and politics 24/7.

 

[Kar]

Yeah, that is pretty hateful, to be honest. If you're having that kind of visceral reaction just to the way a person looks, then it'd do you some good to maybe try to understand them a little better.

While I roll my eyes at the petty stupidity, narcissism and misogyny exhibited by some of the trans lobby - like the person this thread is about, I have also met and known some genuinely lovely trans people, who just want to be able to live free of the kind of bigotry that I'm afraid your displaying. As ever, knowing a person will break down barriers, misconceptions and intolerance faster than anything.

There is nothing wrong with being trans. It only becomes a problem when you try to insist that what you are is something you are not.

Wait am I the only one with a gag reflex when seeing a trans person?
I guess it's a me problem then. the gag reflex is so strong for me that I was sure it was common.

By the way, when I say trans person I mean someone who visibly had sex change surgery.
Weirdly enough, If I just see a male dressed as women and didn't perform the surgery I don't gag.

I think I just figured something out lol. The gag reflex is not from seeing any trans person, it's only if I know / can tell they did the surgery.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Let me get this straight.

Fucking bigot.

Dont worry that's normal.

Anyone walking down the street and seeing someone looking not the norm is bound to get looks. No different than everyone seeing those articles about "The people at Walmart" and you see a bunch of giant fat slobs showing their ass crack or people doing late night shopping in their pajamas. When you see weird shit, it's normal to stare and wonder WTF the going on? It doesnt mean you hate them and want to hit them with a baseball bat. But it's just totally not the norm.

If I see a midget, I'm staring. I dont care what anyone thinks. I see more midgets on TV than I do in real life. So if I see a 3ft tall person standing or walking among people who are 6ft, I'm staring.

 

[Madonis]

People should at least be given a reasonable expectation of what kind of character they're supposed to be voicing. That part of the complaint is fair.

The rest...not so much. Then again, reading both the backlash and the backlash-to-the-backlash makes me dizzy.

 

[LegendOfKage]

Unfortunately, just a glace can sometimes evoke a gag reflex for me, I don't know how to fix that.

Exposure therapy. Not joking. All of your experience with trans people has likely been activists on twitter and you tube videos, and it creates a negative association. But that's not fair or accurate to the reality that people who are trans are not a monolith. They have a wide range of values, beliefs, opinions, and worldviews.

 

[Windom Earle]

lol lmao even

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

That’s just one skin for the killer, which doesn’t even have a gender. What a stupid thing to be upset about.

Also it seems a bit weird to provide a voice for something you haven’t seen and know nothing about.

 

[clarky]

Came into the thread thinking the Unknown was that chick from the Willy Wonka experience, but its so so much more. Brilliant.

 

[John Bilbo]

I mean the nose and jaw are somewhat similar although busted in the monster form.

 

[Mobilemofo]

'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?...

Attacked by it's own stupidity. Fuckin idiot.

 

[STARSBarry]

He was literally poking fun saying they used his likeness and now people are saying he’s transphobic the jokes write themselves

There is no way he is not baiting them right now.

 

[Tomeru]

 

[JohnnyPhats]

It’s how normal, well adjusted, non mentally ill see them.

Total chad move.

They could always have asked what the character was going to be like. I would have thought that was fairly standard if you were the type who would be upset at playing a freak.

I swear I'm gonna backlash all over your backlash.

 

[Games of Today]

This is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever seen! LMAO

 

[CharmingCharlie]

I am a terrible unredeemable person. The minute I saw the "voice actor" I thought of this

 

[kOsmikcoffee]

I guess I have to buy this game now, huh? Because this is funny as shit.

 

[DrFigs]

why didn't she just embrace it. no one would care or notice

 

[nemiroff]

They are literally gaslighting by pretending what they said prior was different, it wasn't. They wanted to demand more money for being tricked.

I agree, it's 100% classic gaslighting.

 

[M1chl]

I struggle to underrstand the timeline, one tweet is her saying that she is fine with that and people are making that into stupid ""discourse""?

 

[Humdinger]

I can't believe how emotionally fragile some people are. I'm a fairly sensitive person myself, but my god, these people have no capacity to tolerate reality, differences of opinion, or something not going according to their expectations. How do they even function in life? Do they have designated safe spaces mapped out, so that whenever something upsets them, they can retreat there and hug their teddy bears?

And what gets me the most is that they seem proud of their reactions and their behavior. They are proud of their hurt feelings. They proudly draw attention to how "unsafe" they feel around people whose opinions differ from their own, how "threatened" they feel by it. They proudly announce what a victim they are -- when talking about this trivia. I would be ashamed of all of that. Yet they seem proud of it, like it's a mark of enlightenment and higher morality. It is hard for me to understand the mental gymnastics that lie behind turning utter wimpyness into something you feel proud of.
