With Apologies to Sena Bryer

[FlowerMilk]

The truth here is that this entire expansion was pretty mid in voice acting quality (English only because actually German and Japanese were bangers). Wuk has the biggest problem that she is 90 % around all the time and bad voice acting becomes way more aggravating. The problem with this situation is that sena is trans so ofc every person being a critic must also be a bigot or a transphobe. I have 2 trans friends I do play every day with and they 1: hate the English voice and 2; can’t stand this “preach water and drink wine” attitude that effectively undermines all the struggles they have in the daily life and 3: can’t stand these twitter takes this person has ( hypocritical and vile wording and behaviour only if the person isn’t on the receiving end) Both of them don’t interact with the LGBTQ community because of some people that take things way way way too far.

Like I would have loved a good voice performance from a trans person for a role this big and gaining a massive accomplishment for the trans community but we got a bad one and the critics being labelled transphobic or bigots.

As someone who also didn't like Sena's job as Wuk Lamat, I can tell you that you are really missing that there are 100% for a fact people actually being transphobic, calling her a man, saying all kinds of crazy things that have genuinely nothing to do with her job as a voice actor in Dawntrail. Nobody cares if you criticize her job as Wuk Lamat, but there ARE genuinely people being transphobic towards her, too.

And no, no one is saying those are the majority of criticisms lobbed at her, either. All people are saying is that the transphobic comments do exist and we can see them with our own eyes. You can criticize Sena for her VA job and behavior all you want, but don't be transphobic about it, then people are just hurting random trans people like your 2 trans friends and that sucks, they have nothing to do with Sena or her behavior.
