But just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s right. Up until now, it was considered a major faux pas for a White American to fake an ethnic accent. That alone makes this critically-acclaimed scene hard to watch. It is so offensive that this issue alone should dominate all discussion of Wuk’s VA. Sadly, it never will, because it’s okay to be racist if you’re Yoshida-sama who can do no wrong. And because the actress checks other boxes, she is also beyond reproach.

But that’s okay, because Square Enix is a failing company and, once they’re bought out by someone else, they’ll make good decisions again. So the more they fail, the faster that happens. Keep it up!
Sena Bryer has never been "above reproach". Even people who like her were criticizing the previous version of the Interphos lines. In fact, if she was "above reproach", people would be saying the new lines are the same quality as the old ones.

It might help if you just criticized the fake accent (whose fault even is it? Did she audition knowing she'd have to fake it, or was she instructed to do so? Either way, I'd put the blame on whoever chose to hire someone with the wrong accent) without adding in snide little remarks like "she ticks certain boxes".

Every time there's a thread criticizing some aspect of her acting, tons of people agree, and then someone comes in to go YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE HER BECAUSE OF WOKE. This is a problem you're inventing inside your own head.
