    that's not what my point is. My point is all the winners sound the same they are men with deep voices just slightly different in their accents and there is not a single female or variation of it at all. the no female runner up even is where it can be seen or considered a bit sexist. I never said that it was 100% sexist. But people can take it that way.

    So because a female contestant isn't chosen to win (Maybe because, you know, the judges didn't consider it good enough or they didn't meet the tastes of the judges anyway)

    That's like a kid going up on American Idol against 16 adults for 10 million dollars, the kid is "good" but not good enough to consider going to the next round, does that make the judges "Ageist" because they picked a contestant who did better than the child?
    Nope! The kid just didn't have that proper set of pipes or vocal ability/pitch/range to top with the others, and the judges felt "They have it... they just don't have THIS", now if they kicked a contestant with an Anita Baker/Beyonce/Keyshia Cole voice that was much better than the kid, because someone got their panties in a twist crying how "so and so should win because they're just a kid" that wouldn't be fair in the slightest, someone shouldn't be able to win something just because "they're just a kid".
    In contests like these, you either have it or you don't, you all have as much an equal chance as the next person and there was nothing wrong in the judge's decision, YOU felt that there was something "sexist" about their choices just because "omg a woman didn't win, SEXISM!!".



    I'm done now.

    I'm just going to come out and say that I think it would've been interesting if the criteria for choosing was "what makes an interesting sounding trailer" rather than something that would only sound pleasing to the ears after beer 19 at a monster truck rally.

    Well people who complained about the original trailer VA just got trolled.

    All the winners sound like the original trailer VA.

    Boy, I'm disappointed that the older sounding one wasn't picked as the winner... at least that one was a little different. But really, SE, I thought we were doing this for fun. There was nothing fun about those winning entries.

    I ended up skipping the last few runners up looking for originality. But they had 0 in the imagination and fun department.

    I'm ashamed, but so did I >.>; I listened to the entire first one and just the first line of the next 3 because they did sound similar. #5 I listened to twice XD

    MY FRIENDS, CEASE THIS FUTILE SQUABBLE! ...

    Everyone knows there are no girls on the internet, especially considering Many Men Online Role Playing as Girls releases... otherwise known as MMORPGs.

    When did FFXIV become a hang-out spot for liberals? There's a reason why Reddit exists.

    Don't lump me in with these idiots. That's like saying all conservatives are like Sarah Palin.
