Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

[GreenLeafy]

Discussion of this latest particular one aside, I'm gonna be honest, there's been a lot of Tweets from Sena popping up in this thread and I'm kind of getting uncomfortable with how she seems to feel about non-trans women.

Whether it's hate, an inferiority-complex, or whatever she can make what she's saying perfectly clear without constantly bringing them into it. It's weird and most importantly probably unhealthy for her.

I'm honestly surprised an agent ,manager or even some PR person from Square isn't trying to douse the twitter shenanigans at this point. Statements like those can't be a good look. The social media brainrot is gonna take over eventually if she doesn't step away at least for a brief period of time. Arguing with the online mob is such a waste of time and energy for someone that wants to be a professional in an industry.

Good riddance glad you are leaving don't trip by me on the way out I love how all the people complaining about wuk are just giant adult babies as my group and discord laugh at this post

Imagine calling people with legitimate grievances "giant adult babies" and then posting what you just posted. Dear lord.

I imagine someone at Square is probably unhappy about it. Despite whatever CBU3 is doing specifically, the rest of SE is still very conservative and... "japanese" (for lack of a better word). They care about reputation and doubtfully find such behavior appropriate.

That is if that someone is aware at all. I mean, we're all in a bubble here. We're constantly bombarded by her tweets and the arguments here in the forums. But despite all that and contrary to her opinion - the world does not revolve around her. She is one single VA, for one single language, of one expansion, of one game. Not a good one either. Most people do not know or care who she is, what her identity is, nor read any of whatever nonsense she tweets. That's not even some veiled personal attack, it's just fact.

She's not even worth all these discussions. She'll be gone by 7.2. Still has barely anything to do with her and has nothing at all to do with her identity. The characters sucks, Japan doesn't like Wuk, all of those VAs are going and Sena along with them.

Seems we reached a new low point with this.



Wonderful.

I will back her up when she shows receipts.

I am going to come to Sena's defense here a little: It's usually advised not to share that stuff. Partially because it can itself set off witch hunts, partially because it can invite further harrassment, and that second one can interfere with law enforcement when and if it becomes necessary.

If you have 10 reports of someone saying 'I'm going to X you', it's a lot easier to investigate than 100 reports, or 1000 reports.

That said: Misgendering is just name-calling. That's it. Doxxing is a greyer area for me because she elected to put her personal identity out on the internet, and that's the start of tracking someone down *for* doxxing attempts. Death threats are unacceptable, but see above.

The simplest solution to stopping these sorts of things is, legitimately, not to engage. Send it on to the relevant authorities, don't comment on it publicly, and take whatever steps are appropriate to protect yourself and those around you in case a nutter tries something.

Answering to a tweet about her talking about the voice actor strike. Which has nothing to do with XIV in that context. If you go about your life and someone pulls your collar to bring back the conversation to something that isn't supposed to be topic, and that consistantly, it's a form of harassment. It doesn't begin when insults and threats are thrown. And if you're familiar with Twitter, you know these kind of things aren't thrown in public comments most of the time.
If you have criticism to voice, by all mean do. If people go every single time she shares something publicly to talk about Wuk Lamat's voice acting, then we enter the field of harassment.

That isn't harassment.

Yup. Seen too many instances of people making alt accounts to "harass" themselves to take any of this crap at face value. And considering the bile coming out of that account on a regular basis, they seem the type.

Don't hold your breath. This is just further bait for validation and love-bombing. That being said I can't blame Sena for this, a very large portion of American full-time voice actors that focus on anime and video games behave the same way and it's pretty despicable. I blame Kate Cwynar for fostering an environment of entitlement, unprofessionalism, and an us-versus-them attitude towards the players of FFXIV. Part of what made FFXIV great was it felt like the people involved loved what they were creating and wanted others to love it, too. That's gone now, at least on the Anglophone side of things. Now we're just expected to consume, applaud, and get excited for next product and if we don't then we're wrong for not liking whatever they give us.

You need not bring out "your group and discord" because the only purpose they serve in your post is inflate your ego

I'm curious...what's the industry going to do for her?
I think the smart thing would be lockdown socials temporarily until this blows over and if the situation is really bad, then I'd hope she's contacting the authorities. I checked her twitter out of curiousity and I'm surprised to see it open to all.

Everything seems normal for her. I think this might be why people are doubting her. Skimming through her twitter, I'm seeing nothing but support and people being happy about her performance?
