I mean I had worse death threats and people telling me they beat my ass in old CoD lobbies then whatever happens here. Voice acting and acting in general is a polarising job and even more so if you get a main character role. Your entire performance makes or breaks the game or expansion and if you fluff it up then people will fire at you, some nice and some are ass holes. Like I work as team leader in customer support and the threat of violence at the phone is pretty common, but you don’t see and hear us having a meltdown over stuff like this and try gather sympathy points form the online crowd like this person is because they are LGBTQ and let’s be real if this person wasn’t LQBTQ and trans this entire drama would never be this big.

When a story high note makes you cringe and your ears bleed then yes it can ruin the entire rest of the expansion. Or in general any emotional part the English va had was cut short by the most boring and sleepy sounding voice acting you can do. Like the person even says they lack some voice range for this kind of field and then still do the role knowing they can’t perform the best.

The VA is consistently bad at every important moment frfr, with the spene lisun to mi, being a perfect example and therefore one people will continue bringing up frfr. Frfr when 90% of the expansion's VA belongs to one single character, it is very valid to round up and say the entirety of the VA is bad. Ohio skibidi frfr.

I think Sena Bryer did a great job and I was overjoyed to see a trans voice actor in FFXIV. Wuk was pretty endearing and Sena conveys her naive optimism well.

It wasn't perfect (speeeeen), but I really don't think that's her fault. The English voices were all over the place in Dawntrail - Thancred, Y'shtola, everyone in Shaaloani... I mean, Erenville's entire village had a standard American accent, which is hilarious and inexplicable when he's standing next to his mom. Something went really wrong with direction, quality control, and in-world consistency here, but that's not on the VAs.

Wuk voice actor is very close to the Farleen voice actor from Star Ocean. Very close. Just back then, they had worse acoustics so Wuk ends up not being "the worst". Or maybe having better audio makes the voice more grating on the ears with modern tech. So I think the worst is taken by him currently.

Also the post was in a response to a person saying that if they have the writers strike we may get a good new English va for wuk (no death threat in that post). The problem I have this day and age is what too believe because a lot of people hide behind LGBTQ as a shield from critics and try earning sympathy points from this. And after seeing this persons other tweets I would say for myself it’s more the second then the first thing.

I'm starting to doubt that said threats even exist.

On one hand you should never doubt this kind of thing as it is pretty common with die hard fans but on the other hand when some one writes the word misgender first and the death threats later even I smell something fishy

The German and Japanese voices sounded great. The English voice made me want to tear my ears off.

Nevermind, your bait game is weak. I was expecting better. 2/10, apply yourself.

Given the amount of vitriol in topics where there are literally dozens of EXPLICIT transphobic posts calling Sena a man or mentally ill-

No, there's absolutely nothing to doubt.
