Sena Bryer is right: the hatred that Smile gets is highly problematic

[Vensaval]

Okay, fine, you're not alt-right. Whatever you are though, it's mad over a tweet.

People can also criticize something without being mad or upset. On top of that, Sena's made several inflammatory/attention seeking tweets. People aren't calling the person out on just the one.

I understand it feels good to point and laugh at others while feeling as though you have the moral high-ground. There's arguments you can make from your position that don't come across as juvenile.

However, if you're just going to label people, call them mad, and refuse to go out of your way to truly understand the situation, you're just going to make yourself look like the fool.

Stop being the fool. Do better.

I'm not mad. I'm disappointed.

I'm not mad. I'm disappointed.

I'll be mad for everyone, and I don't care if I'm called names.

We deserve better "stars" for what for many of us is our favorite game, or at least a game we spend a lot of time and money on. Not someone who not only assaulted my eardrums with a terrible performance, but then vague-posts attempts to insult the fandom and customers on top of it.

It's understandable. You would think that having played the character Wuk Lamat, some of the writing would have rubbed off on the VA. Happiness and understanding.

But instead of preaching togetherness and peace she chose to crank Smile up to 11, strap a bomb to a tweet and direct it right at the community and Square-Enix's front door.

It’s feeling upset about someone making incorrect generalizations about people just because they said a song sucks.

I personally loved the bomb train sequence. It just felt right.

- People stay inside their echo chamber to get the validation they need.

- People venture out the echo chamber for the dopamine they crave.

And the best and cheapest source of dopamine is to tell internet random how wrong they are.

Sena is not open to a chat and instead blocks everyone who doesn't offer unearned praises. So that's probably why people want to criticise the unprofessional conduct here. Didn't some people also suggest players shouldn't be sending "hate" to VAs on X? Are we going back on that?

Bryer has bluechecks on autoblock and presumably uses other chain blocking apps as well. I defended a certain singer way back when and got blocked by like a hundred FFXIV accounts.
