[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[Isseki]

Wuk Lamat is legendary for how much she is making weirdos online seethe. After this post I am blocking you. Genuinely get help dude, you are on here way too much.

I would argue that its more legendary how people try to defend the bad voiceacting just because the VA is a part of a certain group.
Or how it makes you guys insult other people or label them names. *Shrug*

At the end the VA was a bad choice for a main charakter because the VA clearly lacks the skills.

And judging by some more reading the VA also seems to be a bad person overall... makes it even more weird that you guys keeps defending? But I guess as long you are a part of a certain group you can behave like this... *shrugs*

I didn’t even mention her “group”. I said I enjoyed the performance. The only person bringing her “group” into this is you.

You don't think it's weird that this person has almost immediately responded to me across like five different unrelated threads? Including one where they called me cuck? That's okay with you? If they really are just all over every thread and insta responding to people who don't hate DT then that is terminally online behavior and not much better

On Twitter I see a lot of people praising the voice actress (usually with certain flags next to their name), going so far as calling the performance "perfection", "life-altering", "Mind-blowing". It's quite bizarre to read as I have no clue how anyone with ears could listen to this performance and then have those conclusions.

I genuinely believe it's virtue signaling.

It's a coping mechanism. In their social bubble, the louder you yell something is true, the more likely it is that your reality will bend to conform to that truth.
Much like what happens with a beloved main character from the critically acclaimed FFXIV expansion, Dawntrail.

And there's also people on that very same site being openly/blatantly transphobic toward the VA.

I get it, you didn't like the voice and that's okay! This is a feedback thread, so we're gonna see people saying they either loved her voice, hated it, or were fine/indifferent about it... or is this thread now just a circlejerk on putting down others who liked her voice?

Just coming in to comment that, I'm one of many that don't like the character, like, at all; but also I recognize that how much I dislike Sena's performance is probably intensifying my emotional attachment to my otherwise valid criticisms. But also chiming in that I have something important in common with her, and man, this topic is really a minefield—it's not rare to see comments that are coming so close to mask off, and that's disappointing.

Also if she got re-cast, that'd be pretty cool honestly. It's awesome to have one of my people in the seat of such an important role in one of my hobbies, but she's making something bad even worse. :/

I think that's one of the main gripes for a lot of people regarding the choice to cast Sena: they're not allowed to be (validly) critical of the performance because anything they say is deflected on merit of her being who she is. What makes matters worse is that both sides will accuse one another of circlejerking the moment the discussion sways in a direction they don't like, positive or negative.

That being said, I studied media, written and visual. I identify a certain way but I don't feel the need to brandish a flag or five on my profiles. Does that make me qualified enough to say some opinions are wrong?

Objectively speaking, many times Sena's delivery falls flat - it doesn't matter if there was a director to step in, a professional VA would be able to tell by themselves. The people praising her feel disingenous but overly loving, akin to a parent putting a fingerpainted artwork on the fridge.

Sena however, is not a child to be coddled. She got paid money for this, while there were probably better VAs lined up. Perhaps with a similar background as her. Perhaps VAs who better embodied the spirit or heritage of Wuk Lamat's character design.

It doesn't matter, this is what we got. This is who was paid to be the face of this expansion, and her performance soils the experience for many who don't even know the person behind the character.
