FF14 director Yoshida asks fans not to “attack” Wuk Lamat actress

[Bopsheezi]

I am not trans, so no you cannot, it'd be very rude to. You are trying to make a point out of something that makes no sense lol.

But if you can call a she a he why can't I do that with you?

[Vensaval]

You can call me w/e you want so long as I'm allowed to do the same.

it depends on your definition of "attack" if attack means, go on her twitter and harass her, then no ofc not. if "attack" means speak up when i think she says something clearly uniformed and inflammatory. no. i will say something. senna gender politics have NOTHING to do with it. even if SHE tries to make it about that

[Thurmnmurmn]

I know you mean well, but staying quiet and ignoring them has only let them fester and grow from my experience.

It's called picking your battles. I could have told you hours ago the conversations you've just had with everyone else.
The topic is beat to death and it's just repeating the same conversations over and over again.
No one will change their mind suddenly after all this time just because you said she's a she.

[Drimn]

it is my sincerest hope, that people from ALL sides could agree that this is really bad.... seriously wtaf! she should not be working with s.e is shes gona post this. this is a literal call to arms and incitement of violence. this shirt isnt even street legal, i dont understand why S.E are doing nothing about this.. this is literally grounds for dismissal

i also did not appreciate her blocking me on twitter just for calling out that this was wrong. she posted the tweet publicly. to me it feels like she doesnt see anything wrong with tweets like this

Well, Kate is Sena's most ardent champion and likes to jump kneedeep into Twitter culture warring about as much, and YoshiP said not to attack them because "they're doing the best they can." If both the English VA for the face of the expac, and the person both overseeing English localization and acting as a lore consultant get to use their high-profile involvement wirh the game to amass people on Twitter to politically grandstand to, and YoshiP is defending it, that's a very bad sign going forward for the direction of the franchise. Part of what made FFXIV great was the respect for the product everyone had and that it seemed like they wanted to make a game that people would love first and foremost. Kate and Sena seem more interested in using their proximity to the game to clout farm and network. If Squeenix wants to take my concerns about a growing lack of professionalism and how that will impact the game as an attack on them, then that says far more about Squeenix than me. I've just seen things like this happen often among game developers and normally it results in shovelware releases and an arrogant "if no one likes my slop then I'm just misunderstood and they're wrong" attitude towards bad sales.

i have not seen anything from kate. and i will personally take that as a sign that whatever is happening with her isnt so bad that its getting posted everywhere. but sena has been on many peoples radar ever since she was first chosen. and yes i agree that if any of the devs do not outright say this behaviour is wrong that from S.E this is really a bad sign. but i dont know what conversations SE is having with them behind closed doors. maybe they cant afford to take action at the moment. I personally dont feel comfortable with having somebody like this associated with this game. if i went to work in this Shirt, id be fired. If i went out in this shirt, Id be attacked and arrested.

yoshiP should just remove wuk lamat from the game going forward. nobody liked the character and nobody liked the voice acting, coupled with the behaviour on twitter. id say he has a very easy way out of this entire situation.

Oh, did he? That's too bad. Until she stops being a horrible person, she deserves what she gets (minus the usual caveats like threats).

Nope, she deserves those too. After all, she told people to send threats to Bridget's VA for not being trans.

Or maybe people need to chill out.

[LarsBehe]

Or maybe people need to chill out.

Or maybe people should be allowed to voice out their grievances and frustration with an individual that is just objectively an awful human being. Just because you have no problem with what someone posts/says doesn't mean others won't.
