    I'd advise going to your doctor. There's obviously something wrong with your hearing, and I'm worried about you.
    Check the profile. That seems to be a common theme.

    Kindof wild and disheartening reading people call the VA a "white person forcing an accent" when the actress is of Puerto Rican descent. Please do a little research.... y'all are insufferable at best.

    The problem is Wuk's writing at best is a 5/10 character, and the English VA turn her into a 3/10 characters.

    If the base writing was a 9/10 or 10/10 character, the criticism on the VA would have been less harsh.

    If the VA was assigned the role of a side character, the performance would probably more tolerable.


    But like I said before, to be cast as the main character of the story, especially one that was given as much screen time as Wuk Lamat, just being "alright or ok" in itself is not enough, you have to be great. This character got the worst case combination of all the important factors.

    - You can argue her writing is not bad, but just ok.

    - You can argue her VA is not that bad, but just ok.

    And while you may have a case if you just isolate each metric, putting all of that in one character though than it's like the resonance effect. You don't end with an ok character, you end up with terribad character.

    Self-admitted white person, born and raised in Kentucky, and can't speak Spanish. Sounds like a white person forcing an accent to me.

    She said she's the "whitest Latino out there" as a joke, that does not mean she's actually calling herself white lmao. SHE IS PROUDLY LATINO, SHE IS HALF PUERTO RICAN STOP WHITE WASHING HER OH MY GOD.

It is ripe for exploitation. Never underestimate the extremes people will go to, to make a buck.
    Is that why people fall for and believe everything rage-bait grifters say all the time?

    What has descent have to do with it? To speak authentically, you just need to be active user of the language and live among native speakers.

    And why the hell is accent needed anyway? Doma did not use fake asian accents for their inhabitants. Can you imagine how racist it would have sounded if they did?

    Because y'all are calling her white. When she's Latino. That's why it matters.
