Making a new narratives thread for myself to find my theories easier... Trigger warning for dark psychology (pathology) at the bottom. Some topics overlap, so I'll list those under the main topic.
I find it hilarious that Hoyoverse isn't even the cruel ones that are heartlessly recasting SAG-Aftra cast for no reason, but rather it's the CN playerbase that is threatening to drop their game if they don't recast 💀
Imagine screwing up so badly the CN players want you gone
This agreement has severe limitations on how miHoYo can work with non-union voice actors, including a lifetime time limit for the voice actor, and eventually forcing the voice actor to either join the union (which has large entry costs and fees) or stop working on the project

Time to summarize again...
1) Jacob joined through Side Tokyo so he cannot strike since the studio signed the SAG-AFTRA IMA.
2) Sound Cadence is non-union but offers explicit AI protection nevertheless.
3) Consensual generative AI voice-acting only applies to union members.
I do my best to inject clarity into what has become a really sad cyclone of misinformation and toxicity re: the SAG-AFTRA strike, Genshin Impact, the recasts, and AI:

Similar to my 1st video on the strike, it's an attempt to educate, not aggravate.
Okay, honest thoughts on #lcyingduep3... What we see from Vein is pretty common in manipulation. Likely a staged accident so that he can become a savior and control Xia Fei. This is a very common manipulation tactic that factor 2 psychopaths use to lure people in.

Each analysis will be added to this thread later.
Okay, so... Let's forget about all the non-union stuff and Chinese laws. I talked to my Singaporean friend, so let me summarize the Singaporean law regarding unions/trade unions in the following thread, if they DO come into play.

The caller is Xia Fei.
1) "Dear" sounds like "deer", which is Xia Fei's animal
2) Xia Fei has a X on his name which is often used to mark elimination, he's marked as dead and Jae comments "you're alive"
3) Xia Fei is the one with Shiguang's address
To summarize: CN players don't like NA/SAG-Aftra's attitude where they treat the Chinese (company) as a pushover/doormat, so they will force the Union VAs out of the voice cast by boycotting Hoyo/Mhy's game.
SAG-Aftra forgot how prideful the Chinese people are lolol
