Sena Bryer is right: the hatred that Smile gets is highly problematic

They also shouldn't tolerate users who only goal is to stir up trouble in an effort to lock down all valid complaints and criticisms about shoddy voice and music work in a product we pay for.


They also shouldn't tolerate VA's shitting on the player base with blanket hateful labels and then hiding behind "protected class" shields.

They should also not hire individuals whom attack, slander, and generally make the company and it's workers look bad in every regard. I feel sorry for the good work of voice actors i listened to for a decade now that i have to turn away from and use JPN voices now. They deserve better.
Incredible how in all of these ten years there had NEVER been a voice actor communications problem, but this person has been shown to be hostile, spiteful, hateful, unqualified, and out right rude to interact with.
Despite all this, nothing has been done. In contrast, Susan Calloway was fired over LIKING a tweet, and she has done far more good for this game and was removed for doing next to nothing. Without insulting a single fan, ff14 player, or twitter goer.
Hate. Begets. Hate.

Y'all should probably not speak for POC and attach negative sentiment for an entertainment product to them. That feels... weirdly hypocritical.

The reason people don't like smile is because it sounds like something out of high school musical or the stage production of Hairspray. It's cheesy and goofy and doesn't really fit well. It has nothing to do with who sings it, Sena is trying to get the heat off themselves by making up nonsesne like that.

I think it would be neat if SE never hired americans again, you would think they would have learned their lesson after ARR.

Honestly, threads and dramas like these made me consider that maybe hiring this voice actor was a bad decision because it only brought issues and problems we didn't need.

Yeah, like it or not, ever since they went for the brits, the VAing was always okay to great, and there was never any real drama. And then the milisecond they go back to americans, this happens.

I think its time to just unsub for me, I've never even used the forums before all this Dawntrail BS started but its been so shit that I decided to see what conversation was happening here. I really don't like being called a racist for not liking a song, by someone who I am supporting with my subscription.

Luckily they deleted OP's second thread rather quickly.
