hoyoverse english VAs continuing to prove that they’re awful people lmao. paimon’s english VA is directing hate to the new VA for kinich because he took the role of someone that was on strike. god forbid someone takes a job to put food on their table. shaming him publicly is WILD
“actually there are two sides!!1!1! actually selen did this!1!!1” idk how to tell you this, but if a company makes their employee ATTEMPT SUICIDE, they are at fault. full stop. quite literally nothing else matters. some of you have actual worms for brains
it is asinine to take your anger out on someone simply trying to make their way in the world instead of the company themselves. i’m sorry, but in the real world you don’t owe anyone anything. there was a job available, and people need money to live. this is pathetic
to not only shame him on your own account but to go directly in his replies trying to take the moral high ground is such a shitty move. it’s not his fault they decided to hire someone else. does it suck? absolutely. but you’re placing the blame on all the wrong people
i’d like to add that kinich’s new VA is japan-based. he can’t be part of the union even if he wanted to, not to mention the union costs THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS to be in. he has NOTHING to do with this. and it’s hypocritical of paimon’s VA to say ANYTHING when she is a scab too
this is keqing’s english VA. same damn thing. exposing themselves as nothing but pieces of shit that want to tear down the little guy instead of directing their anger at the reason it happened in the first place. saying “it’s not a good look” while harassing him on twt is CRAZY
This is actually… kinda diabolical. If you need the money, at LEAST take the role uncredited. This just comes off as an easy grab for clout. It’s not a good look.
Readers added context
According to voice actor Nathan Nokes, fellow VA Jacob Takanashi who is a Japan based VA had no knowledge of the strike or the circumstance of which the role was being recasted.

not to mention her VA retweeting this atrocious take. why do any of us have jobs then? i very well could have taken the job of a single mother with 4 kids that needed the money more than me. BUT GUESS WHAT! that’s not how the world works! everyone works to live. simple as that
Also many were quick to use the “has to pay the bills” argument. You know who also needs to pay their bills? The actors turning down work so for AI protections for not just them but ALL actors ensuring longevity of others who want to pursue this career.
the fact that they did this to deliberately sabotage doki’s neopets stream. doki is the ONLY one being professional and trying to move on. it says a lot
you can’t pick and choose who to witch hunt, and quite frankly it’s insulting that ANY of these VAs would try to claim that they “understand the difficulty people’s financial situations” only to immediately say “not him though. he doesn’t count”
i’m convinced enjoying vtubers is an automatic debuff because men can’t find girlfriends that like holo because all of us are gay and we’re too scared to talk to other female fans anyway
we’re all single and sad together. how sweet is that? ♡
it’s okay and normal for people to leave jobs because they disagree with the direction it is going. that happens everywhere
it’s also okay to question why so many major members are leaving due to the same issue
2 things can coexist. it’s not black and white
the toxic positivity is really running rampant with this
you cannot have 4 extremely popular and active members graduate in a short time frame (3 of which were essentially back to back to back) all citing issues with management and NOT question it
that’s willful ignorance
