barbie is Bi.
Of course she’s bi what straight woman wears a jean button up shirt
the B in LGBT stands for Barbie
Let’s not forget that this photo is canon. And anyone who assumes that she’s just being an ally will have to fight me
At least we still have Bi Barbie
Remember: you can’t spell BarBIe without Bi!
Details: (norwegian) Ved bredden av Chiemsee, 1871, by the master painter Hans Frederic Gude (1825–1903), romanticist.

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.
Reblogging for that info
Call out the studios making these decisions, but leave the actors alone. There’s nothing they can do about it short of breaching the contract and paying thousands in fines to the company that put them in that shitty position in the first place. Game companies are horrendously exploitative of performers and artists and need to be called out.
“I do believe in an everyday sort of magic – the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.”

poor bastard… looks like the perp slapped his balls clean off
i find it ironic that there are so many musicals about the poor and destitute, yet usually the only people who can afford to watch them are those who could never understand the sentiment
There is a PHD thesis in this comment
Gets 3 XP for wandering into a corner of my bathroom I’ve technically never set a literal foot in before and I see the floating text ‘DISCOVERED: CHOLERA COLONY’ seemingly appear out of thin air before gently fading away
