[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[CosmoBabylonia]

you do realize puerto rico is a territory of the U.S. right? and, that puerto ricans are U.S. Citizens?

I will just say this to you...

We've had a few native South American Spanish speakers specifically come in here to say that Wuk's accent is garbage and it's borderline offensive or racist. How about you go fight with them and see who is the disrespectful person here. I will gladly dig through this thread to find them for you even.

I am of Asian descent and I don't have an accent. The only time I do, is when I force myself to speak like that. Where does the notion that every minority should have an accent even come from? Isn't that inherently racist?

Yes and people born and raised in Idaho are not Puerto Ricans and even if their parents where, they would, like i said have some level of culture shock if they visited New York, let alone Puerto Rico, in fact a person of Puerto Rican Heritage who grew up in Hawaii is going to have different views and values to a someone of Puerto Rican heritage who grew up in Alaska, and neither of them are Puerto Ricans. This is not a hard concept, you dont get to adopt the actual lived culture of a place because your parents, grand parents or whatever are from there, you are where you grew up for the most part and it takes a lot of time living in a new place to change to become integrated in a culture you did not grow up in, and even then i bet the locals would still generally refer to you as an out of towner.

Yeah, I think a lot of people have this misconception that accent is a generic/race thing, but it's an environment thing. Most people develop their accent through interaction by listening to others and - subconsciously - imitative what we hear (kinda of like a survival instinct to fit in). This process does stop or greatly diminish as we get older because the part of our brain that control language/speaking are mostly developed as children. The reason some people may retain their 'native' accent is again, not because they inherit a gene, but because the majority of childhood interaction are with their parents and closed family, and pick up the accent from there.

My country had a very distinct accent between north and south. Up to when I was 6 most of my interaction was with my Northen side of my family, and thus I spoke with a distinct northern accent. But after that I had more interaction with the southern side of the family, espeically I also started going to school and we lived in the south. By the time I was 10 or 12, I had lost all of my Northern accent speak with a natural southern accent instead.

In short, the way someone speak does not represent their race or culture of origin, it just represents where they grew up from.

WuK VA was really bad the whole expansion, but on "that" part of the final trial?
Jesus Christ, how did they think it was alright to ship it that way?
Like holy shit, I know they can't really scream using their female voice, but that was just so awful it took me out of the moment...literally ruined it for me.

[EdwinChucklenuts]

I hope they don't change it. I actually really love her voice.

I'm glad that this comment is ratio'ing the OP. Surprising for this forum of negative sweats.

[Banriikku]

Eng Wuk is not good. JP voice all the way. It makes her likeable despite the writing. SO yeah Jp VA is amazing, the eng one is..... just a plain old no.

I would like too see another "major" character with a 42% dislike ratio on VA work.

Anyways yes the JP version is much better. Still a very badly written character for me, but at least the JP did a good job since I switched.

It really does make you wonder about the nepotism allegations.

Are you for real? A few dislikes on a forum, compared to a few million players ain't exactly 42%. Unless you speak for every single player, which you aren't. Would very much like to see your insider information, considering your highly qualified calculations
