Harrowing

I'm amazed that a franchise where the main dude sounds exactly like Sonic the Hedgehog has so many people that get so angry over voice acting.

It's fucked up that people were harrasing her

But this statement is bullshit. People weren't criticizing Ada because the VA is Asian, they were critical because her performance sucked.

It was utterly robotic and didn't match the facial/character animations of the scenes she was in. The delivery was awful.

Going "It's not the first time a POC has faced racism!" as if the performance wasn't terrible is crazy.

Listen to the Japanese performance:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKppA3M2BdU

The also Asian VA isn't getting flack because her performance was decent. It matches the animation.

I blame whoever was directing the vocal performances more than the blame the VA. Why they didn't ask for a second take is beyond me.

But anyone who pretends her performance wasn't awful is full of shit.

You can still admit her performance was awful AND that the people harrasing her are scumbags. It's not an either/or situation.

Just like it's easy to admit that some people critical of her are likely lobbing racist or sexist insults at her. Which is likely what caused her to make that statement.

Man people just can't handle criticism nowadays. Always falling back on the same tired excuses. Just own up to it and say you'll do better next time. Done.

Not really. Look at the end of her statement. She was arguing that her VA was good and saying the critics are racist/sexist.

That's just silly. You think if Leon sounded as bad as Ada did and Ada sounded great, no one would criticize the VA?

Call out the harrasers for being douches but take the L. Do the "It was my first performance and I learned a lot. My colleagues were amazing and I plan to improve in the future with the franchise." etc etc stuff, not the "Obviously since I'm Asian and my performance of Ada was intelligent the racists couldn't take it."

It was a shitty performance. Don't pretend it's not just because people on the internet can be dickbags

Nah. Assholes who message actors directly to complain (or worse) don't need to be pandered too.

Leaving a negative review or discussing it with others doesn't need a response promising to do better and neither does this.

I'm not. I even downright stated it's a poor performance in another topic. But I'm also not pretending she hasn't been bombarded with racist and sexist comments due to her performance which you seem to be doing.

I wouldn't be surprised if people have sent bullshit comments to her. Women get harrased online by the daily. Especially attractive women.

I don't for a second believe that the critical response to her poor performance was because she was Asian and female and her response is using that as an excuse to act like her VA performance wasn't terrible.

I'm just calling out the BS. It is complete BS and people are pretending it's not because they want to call out the harrasers for being douchebags. You can do both.

Who said she needed to?

But if you actively choose to make a response to the criticism of your performance, ignoring that your performance was terrible and pretending the criticism is just racism is BS. It just makes her look bad.

The guy who wrote Dragon Ball Evolution's script didn't need to make a statement to respond to the criticism but when he did he apologized for how shit his work was and vowed to do better in the future.

He didn't claim everyone only hates Dragon Ball Evolution's script because he's black and it was too intelligent for them. If he did he would be saying BS.

Probably

Dragonball Evolution was terrible and was criticized so majorly he had to respond to it.

I don't get why you're acting like people being dicks on the internet means her performance was terrible and that it doesn't look bad if she pretends it wasn't terrible and blames racism for criticism.

At some point you just gotta take the L and vow to learn from it and do better. Not blame other people.

People on the internet need to realise they overall do not matter and are just a vocal minority most of the time.

Just declaring people don't matter isn't a response to her terrible performance. IF you think people don't matter why are you engaging in the converastion at all? Engaging solely to insist that people's opinions don't matter is the paragon of pointlessness.

Heck they mattered so much she felt the need to respond and pretend her performance wasn't terrible

It would have been better if she didn't respond at all.

I agree.

Making excuses like this is just going to fan the critics and makes her look awful. If there was harrasment this will enbolden it.

So no.

lolwut?

So did George Clooney over Batman and Robin. Didn't mean he was harassed over it.

Social media didn't exist then. The Rock got harrased over Black Adam and that was much better than Batman & Robin.

Doesn't mean the valid criticism wasn't valid just because dicks are dicks

People acting like dicks on the internet doesn't mean anything. They don't matter.

Agreed but you don't have to pretend the performance wasn't crap because you don't like people acting like dicks.

Ironically you're not acting the best way yourself right now by insisting no one's thoughts matters. Which is really weird and rude and arrogant.

She can do that within her industry if needed.

She doesn't need to say anything to the industry. They're the ones that okayed her performance and put it to print.

If anything Capcom failed her.

But if she chooses to make a public statement to address how bad her performance was, pretending the performance wasn't bad is not the way to go.

And niether is just saying "Well people don't matter! Nothing matters!" which is just silly.

Guns_of_Verdun posted...

"People don't matter if they don't agree with me. It's not arrogance."

It's not because they don't agree with me. It's because they think they're important enough to directly message people to whine or attack a person over voice acting in a video game.

Star wars fans actually gave that title.

I have started RE4R, but Im not far enough in to have heard what Ada sounds like

this has nothing to do with being asian or sexy

it has to do with her being a flat voice actress with 0 range

look at her trying to twist the narrative. Maybe she should just admit she fuckin sucked.

If you have a public social media account, people commenting on your acting performances isn't strange. Literally every actor who has a public social media will get that in most of the messages they get.

Saying those fans don't matter is really weird.

Again using the harrasers to excuse the criticism is just silly

Yet you spend 20 years on Gamefaqs arguing with people over how much they don't matter?

That's signifcantly weirder than sending a tweet to an actor.

To me it just sounds like more excuses to handwave the criticism of her poor performance. "It's just people being racist and even if it's not they don't matter."

When did he say that?

When he whined about people criticizing him/it on Twitter.

She isn't choosing to make her statement because of bad reviews. She is choosing to because people have been harassing her online.

If you say so. Her response was about her performance. So that holds no water.

Hell she could have done the whole "I'm learning and vow to do better in future for the great fans." stuff and still call out the harrasres for being dicks.

She tried to paint the criticism of her poor performance on racism which is bad and IMO you're just trying to defend her doing that in an incredibly awkward way. Which also bad.

I'll repeat that you can call the harrasers poo-poo heads and still accept that her performance was bad. It's not a "sides" thing.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

It definitely wasn't fully directed at that. She mentions what 'her' Ada is like and it looked like she was trying to brush aside the critique there. At least, that's what I'm seeing. Bringing up the character and how it doesn't fit a stereotype when the harassment is directed at her(not the character) would be weird if she was just addressing the harassment towards her and her alone.

That's a dumb af line of thinking. You're generalizing people who don't like a bad role into a group of racists. Then suddenly saying her voice acting sucks is racism, because now all critique of her is 'likely' also lobbing racist or sexist insults at her.

I don't like her voice acting, and I think all these harassers should just get a life and go the fuck away.

Most famous actors do not read or interact with regular people because of those people.

It's one thing to be a fan and engage with someone you like. It's another to specifically find a social media account to send them messages to complain or to hate. The latter is a large reason why social media is trash.

That's the conclusion you are making. I didn't say anything of the sort.

Giving them a response at all like this is already giving them an inch. Acknowledging "well you guys have a point beneath all of this undeserved harassment" is giving them an even greater one which will encourage them to keep going not only with her but to other voice actors.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

So people have to actually say something that breaks the rules before they'll be modded, as opposed to something you don't like the sound of? Seems to me like that's how it should work.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Why should that be moddable, because you personally disagree? It isn't designed to offend and it isn't trolling. Gamefaqs forums don't exist to make you feel vindication, they exist for people to talk about various subjects online.

How in the hell does saying the generic PR "My colleagues are great, I learned from this, will look forward to future projects" stuff (which I notice you completely reworded into saying "you guys have a point!" which is hypocrisy after lying that people who directly quoted you were misrepresenting you) encourage more harrasment than lying and claiming all criticism of the performance is racism?

The latter is gonna encourage a heck of a lot more. Calling people racist when they aren't is not how you stop harrasment.

Hell as I already pointed out with the Dragonball Evolution example, there was absolutely 0 attacks, harrasment or rebuttal when he publically apologized. People were like "Huh, it's cool he admitted it."

And look at Skyler White's actress when she claimed anyone who doesn't like Skyler is sexist. All she did was encourage the jerks and make everyone facepalm.

Pretty much every point you've made in this enitre topic is either ridiclous, rude, hypocritical or all three.

So do you think if his response was that DBZ Evolution was actually intelligent and non sterotypical and the negative response was just because he was black, that also would not have encouraged any harrasment? Do you think that would be a better response than his apology? Since you think it for the Ada VA.

Because you know full well it was a ridiclous thing to say but are too insecure to go "yeah that was ridiclous, sorry I wasn't thinking."

Hence why you keep editing out the relevant parts of people's posts, putting words in their mouth, contradicting yourself, saying others don't matter etc.

Like I don't know how clearer I can make it.

Don't expect people to respond to your 'criticism' in the middle of a harassment campaign. In fact don't expect a response to your criticism at all. It's overall a pretty simple concept. Not sure why you're struggling.

Your criticism overall does not matter in comparison to harassment and abuse people like voice actors receive on the internet. If you think otherwise you are entitled. It's just a performance in a video game. It shouldn't be a big deal.

And this topic is the golden example of why you can't criticize someone because it always devolves into, "must be those sexist racist incels".

Most people criticizing her performance have not contacted her personally and narrowing your focus to the harassment always just scapegoats bad performance.

At some point you just gotta take the L and vow to learn from it and do better. Not blame other people.

At first I wasn't going to reply in this topic but this is too ridiculous of a take not to respond to. So are you saying her receving racists and sexist remarks because of her performance is justified?
