All of my video game VA faves are just Dem winemoms, not true agents of the revolution but what can you do.

do u think jennifer hale is a neolib or pseudo-chudly like chris pratt? she seems to like architecture and horses which flags her as a possible objectivist. this is important to my understanding and basic enjoyment of video games

Nothing offensive, just wishes it were back to the way it were.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:Allanah spoke briefly about Adam in one of her Q&A's shortly after the news broke. The Funhaus crew know a lot more than what's publicly available about the situation but they're keeping mum out of respect for Adam's wife who they're all friends with. The photos of Adam in the office were probably a part of that, they included him jerking off on some community work stations and in the recording booth. I don't know the specifics of California's statutes, but that sort of stuff typically hovers between sexual harassment/assault. I think Alanah also said that they can't say anything for legal reasons. So maybe NDA's were involved on both sides in order to get a clean separation, that or an ongoing legal case.

Kay Kessler posted:A loving ton of voice actors are hardcore right-wingers. Karen Strassman (Aigis, Nanako) has been retweeting tons of poo poo claiming the election was rigged. Reuben Langdon (Dante, Ken) never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like, and made a an insane documentary on Covid. And Guy Cihi (James from SH2) is the craziest of them all. Aw, Strassman? That's a shame. Labrys is the better Anti-Shadow Weapon anyway.

The VAs I follow do tend to lean more liberal, but yeah, I can't think of one off the top of my head that I would consider more leftist.

I know Mary McGlynn and Kari Wahlgren (and probably some others I forget) were out there marching against Trump stuff. McGlynn talks about it more, though. (Her partner Steve Blum also seems at least vocal.)

Like I'm not going to call him good or ok , beacuse it doesn't work like that, but to point out so that if someone brings it up in a different context people might know what level it's at.

I saw some drama about Nintendo putting up a C&D for a big Melee tournament yesterday. Seems a bit extreme, but it's probably for the best, what with all the rapists who play. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Yeah this seems like a good thread to try to keep on a narrow focus, given the topic A thread about voice actors in general might be a good idea (and I'd bookmark it if someone made one) but this isn't it, and I don't even know what the gently caress that melee post is supposed to be, besides a bad post in the wrong thread.

cheetah7071 posted:Yeah this seems like a good thread to try to keep on a narrow focus, given the topic It's actually relevant, but not the way it was presented. Smash Bros as a fighting community has always been the odd one out, with several stories of terrible behavior of both players and fans that seemed excessive even in the context of fighting game tournement communities. In July it started trickling out and very quickly many major figures in the Smash community had been accused of serious sexual crimes. quote:On July 1, a Smash player who goes by Puppeh wrote a Twitlonger post describing an alleged sexual relationship he had with Smash commentator Cinnamon “Cinnpie” Dunson when he was 14 and she was 24. On that same day, a player who goes by Mikey alleged on Twitter that Joey “Mr. Wizard” Cuellar, CEO and organizer for EVO, the largest fighting game tournament in the world, allegedly had him strip down to his underwear in exchange for game tokens when he was a minor. (Since then, at least one woman has come out alleging that Mikey sexually harassed her.) It's still going on more or less, recently Nairo sued CaptainZack alleging Zack raped him while he was asleep and filmed it to then later use to blackmail him into the relationship. pentyne fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Nov 21, 2020 |

That is not why Nintendo cancelled the Melee tournament, and is outside the scope of this thread. Just because the Smash Community is super hosed, it doesn't mean that everything Nintendo does pertaining to smash is now ontopic for this thread. e: I don't want to be the thread police, but that's hosed.

Looking way back at the first page of this thread, it seems like "on topic" for it is 1) posting news about newly discovered abusers 2) shooting down extraordinarily awful posts So I honestly don't know if we need the thread at all? It's not like we're going to solve the problem here. If a victim confides in you irl, believe and support them. Don't cover up for abusers. What else is there to say?

What else there is to say is "Robin So-And-So is an abuser, don't stan them." As well as "this news story just came out, and wow Studio X is a hellhole that adores abuse."

We need more honeypot threads on the forums to fill Jeffrey's pockets, places where people out themselves as awful bigots are good and necessary. Also is that guy seriously not eating a probe?

To be honest I almost probed it, and I'm open to the idea that I underestimated just how bad of a post it was. To avoid derailing this thread too much, if you would like to say more, we have a feedback thread here in games which is like a mini games-only qcs Or, if you don't have anything more to say than just "the post is worse than your first impression" then I'll think it over a second time or maybe hand it over to another mod, I don't want to be the kind of person who just stands by my initial reaction no matter what

Well I was hoping any followups would go into the thread I linked to end the derail here, in the thread where I told people to stop derailing, but that's not happening, so I guess I'll followup here too! As I said, it was never in doubt it was a bad post. Not all bad posts get probated.
