With Apologies to Sena Bryer

[Yurhee]

I believe the current situation of outright hatred in these forums toward Wuk Lamat has grown enough to draw attention to a very serious matter.

Many of you have very respectfully given feedback on a few of the elements you’ve found needing adjustment, along with suggestion to improve them. That’s what the forums are for. Many, many, many others of you, multiple times, have openly voiced your disgust, contempt, outright hatred of said character for ruining your experience in Dawntrail.

And now, a few of you, for WHATEEEEEVER reason…have felt justified in doing the above. This particular brand of malice, like I said in another post. . .is disgusting. I’ve been playing 14 since 2.0 and I have not once seen the collective community go behind the scenes/character to do what’s transpired here, be it this forum, Reddit, wherever. Not the first time, but this…

I see this topic certainly a bit late, but I FULLY agree with the emphasis on the "Many, many, many of you". This place is incredibly full of arrogant, despicable, toxic and thus pathetic people (not everyone as many discuss in very nice ways).
Being anonymous brings the worst of the people, we know it. While FF14 is a secondary social circle to people, the forum adds another layer of "protection". Whenever I come on this forum to read about topics I'm interested to, I stay voiceless at how people talk to one another, we are far from the benevolent community we are reputed for.
People are straight up arrogant douches because their Irl is protected. Almost all would never quite behave this way Irl (actually, I've never met someone like some of the people I can read here), adding to that the cliché representation of (hard)core gamers, I'm sure that for some the contrast between their online behavior and (pathetic) irl self must be very...funny.
I'm mentioning Irl here because a portion of these already sad excuses of people think it's even fine to directly attack a Voice Actor they didn't like (or straight up hated) the performance of, with clear irl threats and consequences. It's disgusting how people can behave out of anonymity (and e-ego).

Whether your irl like is good or pathetic, there is NO justification for behaving this way, ever. I lack words to express how despicable these people are, but I hope this post will work as a wake up call for part of them (and bring the actor support as well).

Not to be rude or anything, but you do realise, you're just adding to the arrogant, despicable, toxic and thus pathetic people by that statement right ?

And to be rude, Sena Bryer is a piss poor person, doesn't matter if she is trans, she's just plain rude and uses the fact that she is trans as a weapon. Furthermore, she did a piss poor performance and again, that has nothing to do with her being trans and yes, I did use the right noun...she.

Pretty much. I could care less how she views herself, her being trans isn't the issue. My issue with her/this thread is that:

- She comes off petty/desperate when people don't give her the attention she wants, compared to cis-women in her eyes
- Her voice acting wasn't on the level I'd expect from FF14 and I don't get why SE couldn't just hire a native speaker the same way that other games do like Reverse:1999. They could literally go grab Centurion's VA as an example and probably get a more accurate portrayal.
- How some people here think it's a sane idea to send people to jail for years for misgendering someone, even if they don't have malicious intent behind it and it's purely accidental

None of my issues are with her gender, my issues are with her personality and the genuinely concerning viewpoints she and others here have.
