Looks like a lot of FFXIV fans, particularly those on the left, are bitterly disappointed over these revelations. While Calloway claims she got hacked, people don't seem to be buying it. Unfortunately for them, there are a lot of not-so-nice people who work in the entertainment industry.

Is that why she didn't come back as the main singer for Shadowbringers? People were wondering why that was the case.

The right actively trying to censor, insult or boycott leftist stuff = Freedom of speech

The left doing the same = Cancel culture(according to them)

The usual anti trans shit we've been seeing for years, & by only "liking" the posts, she can claim plausible deniability because she never actually said anything outright in text

That doesn't help your cause. Forgetting about stuff like One Winged Angel or Suteki Da Ne is pretty bad.

Who, what? You said you forgot about singing in FF so I brought up arguably the most famous instance of singing in gaming and a song from FFX with lyrics.

As for who did it the latter, FFX's Suteki Da Ne, was sung by Susan Calloway.

I should say: she was the singer for the concert/CD versions of the song, but as those are the ones played in every situation outside of the original game the point stands.

Yup. How dare someone have different views and opinions than other people? Mental facism at its best right there. Do as everyone else does or suffer the consequences.

I've been seeing some people speculate that this was the reason why she didn't sing for Shadowbringers and Endwalker. That she was booted out after SE found out she was right-wing. But I don't think that's actually the case. If that happened, she likely would've said something about being fired for that on social media. I have a different theory...

So Koji Fox was the main translator and localizations guy who handled the language and pop culture references in the game. He left after Stormblood to help with FF16. He was replaced by a new person named Kate who is a pretty vocal non-binary lesbian or something like that.

After Stormblood, whether it be due to a shift in FFXIV's dev team or Kate's own influence, FFXIV began to add a lot more things into the game's world throughout Shadowbringers and Endwalker that could go under the LGBT umbrella such as the non-binary fairies of pixie land who use they/them pronouns, the super popular LGBT-ships Ryne Gaia and Cirina Sadu, Hythlodaeus who is a feminine-probably-gay-character, the dragons being retconned to being non-binary, etc. amongst other things.

I posit that with Susan being right-wing, she likely decided not to return for ShB and EW voluntarily, because she didn't like the direction the game was going when ShB was in development. She probably no longer wanted to be involved after non-binary and more LGBT characters were added. If that's the case, quietly removing herself from the team and staying quiet about it on social media was the most responsible thing she could've done if she couldn't handle LGBT.
