I know you just go around throwing flimsy baits but this time, I'll bite.

The VA for Hien was doing a great job because he pronounced Japanese names accurately, meaning, with the accented syllable being the first one.

Using the words of a Chinese born actor to try to say that Hien's VA pronunciation of Japanese names it's "offensive", while ignoring the intonation of both languages it's completely different because they are two completely different languages, kind of makes this particular bait even weaker than usual.

On the other hand, we south americans, can indeed pronounce the sound of "ph". When I say "Sphene", it doesn't sound like "Speen".
