No. I find her victimhood envy and her "why isn't everyone surrounding MEEE!" distasteful.

The reality is that the vile people who threaten and harass people exist far beyond the scope of "Ohmahgawd, forums, stop please", and while I respect the idea that it should be reinforced that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable, the forums are, quite likely, not to blame.

Thread titles are rarely addressed to her directly, and while her name's probably been brought up in most Wuk discussions it was usually to present criticism or a point. Could a bad agent come by and use that to harass her? Absolutely. But that information is free for everyone to gather, discuss and is easy to find.

At the end of the day, Sena's job as a VA is inherently tied to her connections and online presence (not discussing whether that's a good or bad thing) and while I want to be understanding that she almost needs to be terminally online, the fact is that the inflammatory way she has to discuss certain topics is going to inevitably lead to hateful people just looking for any ammunition to justify their acts. She doesn't deserve this, but I hope she keeps her known presence (at least) more professional in the future, if only for her safety.

Well damn, this thread ain't gonna last long then. From what I've seen in the past on these forums is threads that devolve into endless sociopolitical debates end up being deleted anyways lol.

The whole "The people are just parroting the content creators latest take" as your point is kinda parroting what other people have said...

Yeah it’s kinda sad that some people from both sites can’t have decent human conversations anymore. Everything devolves into this poop throwing contest we’re both sites try to smear each other in a bad light.

I found DT story super mega meh boring and the English voice acting from the character that was in the limelight for 90 % of the story wasn’t good enough and had no emotional reach and I for myself didn’t care the VA was trans and only after finding out I’m actually more curious if the choice was DEI or a friend hiring this person because any decent voice director worth his salt would take 200 % another voice actor after hearing voice clips were the VA has to shout or put emotions into the character and sentences.

This person just being a drama llama

Because both sites have people that are arseholes. You have the transphobic critics that use slurs and the you have the defender site that calls all critics transphobic even if it was valid criticism. And then you have decent humans on both sides arguing over these hyper cases and ripping each other apart. It’s a sad state of affairs

Probably because the seasoned, senior folks are all busy working on the mystery third project and they just let some random intern or super junior dev manage the VAs.

I'm sure you'll ignore and twist this to fit your narrative as you've been doing all thread but,
Her saying she's received death threats is making it public. And her whole response was replying to someone with actual criticism about her character. Nothing to do with anything she's spouting about.

Death threats are never ok but at the same time, people are going to care less when it's from someone who constantly claims to be the victim in scenarios when she isn't even the topic.
Cry about everything all the time and people won't care once it's a real problem.
