Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

[Karious]

She's making it up. If you actually see the context of her tweet, she's replying to someone who said they didn't like the performance and she's acting like people are giving her death threats. Disliking the performance and expressing that to her are not the same as all the crap she's pretending is getting thrown her way.

I dislike her performance of the character and wuk lamat herself, would never even think of harassing the va. thats just weird of people

[OdinelStarrei]

Yep - so much for all those Community awards.

As one of the threads about this matter on Reddit states: "Way to go. We're one of THOSE fandoms now.."

Disgusting.

Yeah, how is this surprising for literally anyone though?

"NOW?" We've BEEN like this. East or West, it doesn't matter. It seems like every tier some raid group, whether they were guilty or not, is the target of some kind of harassment campaign. Remember what happened to JoCat, harassment by the community so bad he had to essentially wipe himself from the internet? Scottzone? The public social suicide of the cheating WF team last year that was overtly supported by many people like a lynch mob?

We've SEEN this. If someone related to or frequently plays XIV told me they haven't been harassed/stalked/insulted, I'd actually be more surprised than if they have been. That's where we're at. It's prevalent everywhere, inescapable as long as people exist in those spaces. Even if people say "It's a minority of people who do that." when you're operating with a fanbase of hundreds of thousands of players, even a fraction of a percent of that number still means potentially hundreds of unhinged elements.

And it only takes one or two dedicated ones to completely crumble someone, especially without shutting down their social media. And that's assuming you take every report as absolute fact.

There I went and snagged it myself.

There's plenty of parasocial weirdos who can't control themselves and take it on to be shitheads, hell look at main character of the day what is obssed with 14 streamers

Normal people don't do it, MOST people don't do that, but if say, 200000 people see your work but 50 are obsessed with you and keep dming you, remaking when they get blocked , and keep harassing you,

It's going to feel like a whole lot, overwhelming ,

If you're a public figure it's in your best interest to not have social media at all , or lock dms and replies/@'s to selected anyways, just a handful of people are enough to really muck it all up.

You're close to being one of the weirdos

[Karious]

You're close to being one of the weirdos

Because I can do a generalized Twitter search to get the broader context of her 'harassment'?

You're right - it isn't surprising. But that doesn't make it any less disappointing.

Your entire first page is about complaints about specifically about wuks eng performance, very little about problems in the narrative and thematics of the story that are weakened by the bad writing and missed potential of, example, Galool and zoralls jaja have nothing constructive to say , just wuk lamat, and just the eng version

So yes, you're another voice in the dull choir, yes, you're close to being one of the weirdos and it's probably for the best you're quarantined here

Yeah. The English performance is objectively bad and I'll make as many threads about it as necessary. Do I need to start posting about the wasted potential of Zoraal Ja or how the Skibidi pibil contest was basically rigged by her real dad? These are things I'm aware of, I just post about what I want because I only get 20 posts a day. Also I'm not quarantined here. I'm all over the Internet spreading the word of how terrible the voice acting is. (Pro-tip: A lot of people agree with me.)

[Aniise]

If what she is claiming is true, that's of course wrong and waaay over the top.
You don't send death threats to anyone, period. It's way out of line.

That being said, I don't think the alleged fact that some weird people do this should be used as a shield to deflect any sort of criticism about her work. Which was just...not good. And that can and has to be stated without assuming the person saying it has some secret hidden agenda.

Adding to that, X or Twitter is a hellhole of weirdness, people on both sides are acting like complete idiots right now. Hell, if you even criticize the pure written character of Wuk Lamat without even going into the dubbing, you are called names and are branded as a transphobe or misogynist already. Some are even going after the other VAs and trash talk them in support of Sena. You see, it doesn't take that much for people to get super defensive and don't act better than the ones they call 'bigots' themselves.

If Sena is suffering under harassment to the degree she claimed in her post, maybe, juuuuust maybe, taking a break from this cursed website would be advised. (Which I doubt she'll do, since X is like her second home I guess)

I'm not at all excusing the behavior of the people who send messages like this or saying it's okay. Not. At. All.

But harassment of content creators or professionals is, sadly, something that comes with the job. There will always be sickos out there and on the internet not everything can be moderated. As terrible as that may be, it's sadly the truth. Our 'great', 'friendly' Community is no stranger to that, I mean just look at Zepla or JoCat. What happened there was and is not okay, either.
