STOP HAVING WHITE VOICE ACTORS PLAYING NON-WHITE ROLES

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

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.

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

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.

The Great Gatsby enters the public domain in 2021. If at least one of us doesn’t have an unauthorised sequel ready to publish on January 1st at 12:01 sharp, I will be very disappointed.

this morning my starbucks is all women, so when i ordered it was all “i love your glasses!” “that drink is soooo good” “have a great day babe!” which is amazing showstopping incredible BUT yesterday the same starbucks was staffed by all guys and my interaction went kind of like this:

first guy, unprompted: we’re trying to help john name his scorpion

his coworker, leaning around him: here’s a list of names you should vote or write your own

me: …..what

john: AGGRESSIVELY SHOWS ME PICTURE OF BABY SCORPION

I found a tool that let’s you figure out whether men are dominating the conversation or not.

Seriously that’s all it does. I’m feeling cheeky today, so I thought I’d share.

adulthoodisokay

welp, i’ll be using this in every meeting i attend

nealashitposts

So I work at a pretty progressive company so at t the last meeting I brought a click counter and I clicked it every time a man cut someone off. I used a pen pad to keep track of the women cutting someone off. Because it happened twice. Both times after they’d been cut off and were trying to finish a sentence. Eventually the men noticed the clicking and would pause and look around. At the end of the meeting I told them the results. In a one hour meeting men had cut someone off a total of 236 times. Two hundred and thirty six.

Two more meetings and you can pavlov your coworkers into not interrupting women

I love this post but I hate that I have to genuinely consider whether or not I have to tag this as nsfw because dandelion dick is a grey area

the-transfeminine-mystique

It’s surreal that “if we take away the thing making people grovel for their lives, then how are we going to make them grovel for their lives?” is an honest to god argument that more than half of the us population finds compelling

“If we end hunger, then how will we be able to threaten people with the specter of starvation?”

“If we guarantee housing, then how will we be able to exploit them under the threat of homelessness?”

“If we guarantee healthcare, then how can we keep the workforce slaving away at shit jobs for a pittance so that they can have health insurance?”

THIS. This IS Dick Grayson! And I can completely see him having a page and posting these videos and in the end is one with Bruce, who just looks so tired, the looking at the camera meme

“Dick, can you please just walk normally for once?”

Dick: “No.”

i looked this guy up and he is a circus acrobat and oldest of like 7 lol

extremely Big Dick Grayson energy

anexperimentallife

He needs to play Dick in a Nightwing movie. (But ONLY if he’s also a martial artist, because way too many superhero actors have obviously never been in a kwoon or a dojo or a real fight.)
