With Apologies to Sena Bryer

but they sure don't seem to respect them.

I'll give it to you straight from my own personal perspective. Mine and no one else's.

Respect is something I've always thought should be earned, not given freely, specially not to a group of people, any group of people. For groups, I have basic courtesy and nothing else.

Respect, it's reserved for individuals who have earned it.

I respect someone with a good, sound and well informed opinion.
I respect someone who has showed talent in some field.
I respect people close to me.
But do I respect a group of people only because they happen to be labeled in a way? No, sorry, can't do it, and that applies to any and every group.

I will offer basic courtesy to anyone, but that's where it stops.

I have my own opinions on the bigger matter and and I have my issues with her particular voice work. Her accent it's just annoyingly fake and the lack of range and yet, not once I called her a "he" despite the fact that, as an individual, I can say I don't respect her.

The voice work has plenty to criticize without resorting to lack of basic courtesy in my opinion. But also, I don't think I'm on some sort of moral high ground when I see others not using the same courtesy. I do believe it simply gives ammo to those wanting to be offended and deflect from the criticism and dismiss it, but I'm no one to tell others how to express their opinion. That is their prerogative.

And just as I'm no one to tell others what to say, I'm no one to tell you how to feel either.

I understand sympathizing, but whatever lack of courtesy it's aimed at her, it's to her alone. You are you, the VA is the VA, so try not to take it personally simply because you happen to share a label.
