And I mean who tf is really offended by that kind of s*** as long as its not on some straight racist s***
Most people who are talking about this are white too
the thing is that yeah, let’s learn from this and actually try or try harder to give better poc representation through the animated characters reflecting their actual lives but like everyone here is saying is that this does basically nothing but pander and ask for forgiveness for s*** that is so minuscule that it shouldn’t even really even be given that much more thought further then to do better in the future.
I don't think people ITT have attacked the white voice actor for Cleveland tho
Like it doesn't seem like people are downplaying it cause of Asians they downplaying it cause it's a voice.This same reaction happened when they announced South Park and Big mouth would recast black characters.
In general most people seem to think this is dumb.
This.
Of course the industry needs to make efforts to put POC in more VA roles if they can do the job as good as a white VA can but the more I think about it it’s slick more racist to do what these folks are trying to do and have only black/asian/Mexican etc. people play roles for those type of characters just because they are of that race. I’d rather get work because I’m an awesome voice actor than simply due to my race but at least have the options and roles available for POC to fill in. Not because the characters are the same race as them but because you want POC to be a part of your product.
Edit: at the very least do what people have been saying for years and add POC writers to the team

I agree that work has to be done but this is not going in the right direction lol
Its not even like the character has an accent or is represented all that much by her vietnamese origins too people need to focus on real problematic things
But if this makes less known but talented actors who arent white get more work its all good tbh I hope thats what it will do

I’ll take what i can get out of the corn.
It just annoys me to see great work be treated as “mistakes”

Especially when said work has been commenting on very serious issues in a great way for years before people on twitter started waking up
Cancel culture bout to make him
Cancel culture only feign outrage when it’s white ppl doing something so he’s fine
This is so weird. Niggas like Nolan should be the one apologizing
What he do lmao

Exactly this being said. I hope to see more poc representation in voice work. And I agree with Raphael on the fact that having a Vietnamese voice actor was a missed opportunity.

Nolan North? For what?
How do you voice a character for years and now all of the sudden think, "this is wrong" ?
Better donate her salary to asian organizations then
Alright yeah this is going too far now. C***liberals and their white guilt is becoming of nauseating

At least you not getting shot by people who are supposed to uphold the law and able to get away with sexual assault
