[Feedback] Wuk Lamat's English Voice

[Themarvin]

I want to marry Wuk Lamat, I like her just for everything that she is, and yes I am on the English voice as well... I am foreign though, but through out the the introduction and story, if you actually got an ear for languages including your own native language, you would be able to hear an improvement happening, from when you met her, untill you completed the 'trial' thing.

I am just saying.

Keep in mind Wuk Lamath is first of all not Eorzean and as it is with most 'intelligent' beings, you will adapt to where you goto in the world and maybe even pick up the language if need to be there for long or for life.

I quit watching Glee when I realized that the actor playing Artie, Kevin McHale, doesn't use a wheelchair. I was really mad about it. I felt he shouldn't have taken the role, and moreover that the show runners shouldn't have set the role up for him to take in the first place. However, I did *not* write or call them up demanding that they recast him.

I did actually write to somebody at the show/network explaining why it was a problem and suggested that they hire a disabled actor to play a new character in an upcoming season of that show specifically, even if it was a smaller role, and asked them to take that feedback with them on future projects. I explained how this could be incredibly meaningful to disabled teenagers in particular. I have no idea how it was received--I never heard back. I hope someone read it and understood and maybe DID take what I said forward with them, but it could have just as easily gone into the trash. Other people said similar things. Some of them were probably less polite about it.

Kevin McHale (the actor) has since stated that he agrees with those criticisms, and that while he can't take back having played the character, the only way he would return for any sort of Glee reboot is as a completely different character. Moreover, he wouldn't take another role in a wheelchair at this point--he just didn't know better during original casting. I appreciate that he's heard people out, learned from it, and seems to be going forward with empathy on the matter.

(Glee had a LOT of problems and I don't want to derail, but this was a handy example that's relevant to the conversation.)

(Reply to Mosha continued)It's similar (though not identical!) to frustrations when a mobile, non-disabled actor plays someone in a wheelchair--especially a character who is unable to walk. (I don't mean "they broke their leg badly so they're in a wheelchair until they heal up again," I mean characters for whom a wheelchair is a necessary tool in daily life.)

I dont understand this stance right... and i didnt understand sena when she had the same one.
the point of being an actor, is to take on roles that change your understanding of the world, and increse your depth of empathy. for example. should only gay actors play gay men, how then can NON gay men ever understand gay ones? isnt that the entire point? to be put in there shoes... by the logic.. only a wheelchair person should write for somebody IN a wheelchair.. but that means far less people would.. or can.. and then by this same logic you guys wind up going even less noticed than before. i have scoliosis, so i understand how you feel, even though for the moment i retain my ability to walk, i still understand how you feel. and thats what you should want... people to try to understand you.. but by segrating people out for these reasons, all you do is limit the amount of people who can share in how you feel. also, the logic is only sound when applied backwards its still fair. but if you now applied the logic, only gay men can play gay men. doesnt that mean gay men CANT play straight men.. isnt that kinda messed up

ive never understood this.. and i fear sadly.. i just never will

I can't believe how many people are malding over a va. The VA is on par with the rest of them. There's nothing wrong with it, and if they're an up and coming va they will only get better. Just let it be wait and see what happens.

And now the thread is veering into defending JKR, one of the world's most prominent transphobes.

Honestly, Sindr is right, you just call people transphobes and never explain why.
