girls after saying something smart: So yeah

[skybluelipgloss]

Girls after giving a concise and completely sensible thought on the matter, with well thought out arguments:

... If that makes sense?

[jasmiinitee-deactivated20210610]

Girls after expressing a personal opinion: if you think that's okay haha maybe

[labradorduck]

Girls saying something they know to be absolutely correct and spent years studying: if I remember correctly

The Great Gatsby's copyright expires January 1, 2021 and I for one am quite looking forward to the inevitable publication of Nick/Gatsby fanfiction.

[fageleh]

Look me in the eye and tell me there's not at least ten people sitting on a completed manuscript right now. I dare you.

[headspace-hotel]

Oh dude time to write the Greater Gatsby

you wear an ancestor’s face. you look like a woman you’ll never meet. in that mirror, there’s thousands of you. and in the bath, when you look down, she looks back, shaking and deforming in the ripples as she lies beneath the surface.

patiently waiting for someone to fall in love with me. i refuse 2 date. i refuse 2 flirt or make a move. how could this go wrong.

unpopular opinion: amy and rosa spying on jakes fake therapy IS NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. its the heist where there are absolutely 0 limits. none. everybody knows its not okay to spy on your spouses/best friends therapy sessions. it’s meant to be over the top and wrong that’s the whole running joke with the heists: there are 0 limits. its the same thing as jake and amy tazing eachother last year. obviously its wrong but you’re not supposed to read into it or take it seriously its a comedy.

As much as I adore Asuka, Kairi should be the one getting a chance in the Elimination Chamber. She’s been on the backburner of the team for a bit and she deserves a chance to shine. Plus, she has the history with Shayna, so that would make for some good drama in the chamber

STOP HAVING WHITE VOICE ACTORS PLAYING NON-WHITE ROLES

[agreedt]

[attentiondonor]

stop depriving non-white actors opportunities to act and get recognized!

[out-there-on-the-maroon]

Voice actors often don’t know who they’re reading for or what franchise they’re in (that’s what the strike was recently about, so they’d know whether they were in a small first time game or the 4th installment of a major franchise, if they were replacing a beloved voice actor, etc.) so please don’t harass the actors, until recently they legally didn’t have the right to know who they were reading for and were usually not told until months or even years later. 

Definitely go after casting, directors, and studios executives. Those are the people making the decisions. 

[gottageekout-deactivated2018121]

Example of a VA not knowing (and getting screwed on top of it).

[beforetsparrowhawk]

They still don’t have the right to know. They got fucking nothing out of that strike. They can know the code name (which might be a serial number or whatever) and if it’s a sequel. That’s it. That’s the extent of the “transparency” they won from the strike.

As a perfect example of this controversy, if you haven’t looked up interviews surrounding Laura Bailey as Nadine Ross, it’s worth it.

Laura Bailey herself explained that when she auditioned for the role, she was given no information about what the character looked like. It was only after she was hired and arrived for recording that she was shown concept art and discovered the character was a WOC. She was uncomfortable about the situation.

Meanwhile, Neil Druckmann revealed that they were already working on concept art of the character when they hired Laura Bailey. They finalized the character’s design as a WOC after they’d hired a white voice actress, so that was a conscious decision. He was also very flippant about the situation as a whole.

Like people above have said: Yes, whitewashed casting is a legitimate and real issue. But unlike actors in film and stage, voice actors are often totally blind to what they’re auditioning for. They get fucked by NDAs and legal red tape bullshit. Go after the casting directors and execs and high-position game devs that knowingly make these decisions.
