Hey! Ive been searching forever to find that video of greg ellis larping as cullen talking about cancel culture, any chance you have a link that still works? 😭
I made a post when it dropped. When it happened, someone actually sent me a mirror link for it. It's a Google Drive file, but it's there.
Here's the full post I made surrounding it: Link
I personally haven't watched it because he doesn't deserve my energy. But I've read bits of the transcript and accounts of people who have watched/read through it all.
Hashtag TheCode, hashtag Dragon Age Day, hashtag Justice for Johnny Depp.

Fan Reply: “This speaks volumes as I said before not all hero’s wear capes, keep doing what you are doing, Forever our Templar. Let them hate it is all they have left to give. Hope is for those who wish to have it. Stay safe in these troubled times.”
User Reply: When you use the platform you agree to the TOS. Free speech is one thing, inciting violence and an attack on the US democracy and constitution is another.
Greg: Agree. 100%. Help me out - please post a quote of his from today that incited violence. I’m itching to eat humble Twitter pie *pray emoji*

Image Description
Sia: “Grrrrrrr. Fuckity fuck why don’t you watch my film before you judge it? FURY.”
Greg Ellis: “To complete ANY movie is a gargantuan feat. Bravo (at) Sia & team.
The virtue signaling casting directors are unaware of the multiple challenges involved with movie making & how their activism ultimately means less important movies get made.
Let’s celebrate the movie in its entirety.”
Margaux Joffe: “sigh. Yet another example of Hollywood casting a non-disabled actor to play a disabled character. When doing a film about Autism, hire Actually Autistic folks to work on it.”
/quote tweet about Sia’s movie announcement/
Greg Ellis: “Sigh. Yet another example of someone outside the film industry behaving as a self anointed casting director. Next you’ll be calling for Freddie Highmore to be canceled. It’s this sort of activism that results in less movies being made about important subjects.”
Mark Darrah: “Hey there Greg... I’ve been letting you slide for awhile but I think Dragon age Day is maybe the day when that ends.
Is there some world where you imagine that your behavior with regards to me and the community in general would actual cause you to EVER be hired on a Dragon Age game?
I’m not sure if this is performative in some way in order to get the attention of a different group, but it CERTAINLY isn’t going to endear you to a company that cares about its public appearance”
Greg Ellis: “Hi Mark, It’s telling that you finally respond on the day your forced resignation was announced. By ‘letting me slide’ you mean ‘posting vague corporate values tweets on sub-threads supporting bigots who defamed a voice actor of a BioWare game.’
Is there some world where you imagine that your behavior with regards to me, the community and your fellow BioWare employees in general would cause you to EVER be hired by another video game company? Open invitation to come on my show to discuss.”

Mark Darrah: “You really don’t understand what is happening right now do you? Thank you for the invite but I think you have gotten enough of a signal boost from me today Greg.”
/quote tweet of previous thread/
Greg Ellis: “I’m standing up for MY values. Having watched you publicly pander to a few small minded bigots for the last couple of months. you were forced to resign today. Maybe one day you’ll have the gumption to talk about WHY, in public (or private) rather than skulking off.”
Greg Ellis: “And a relief for many others.I’ve worked with you for over 10 years as the voice of Cullen (and Anders) (at) Dragon Age & have never worked with a more DISLOYAL, duplicitous corporate fake. Your enforced resignation is a victory (at) BioWare, its employees, & particularly the fans.”
User Reply: “I unlocked this account for a few minutes because I want you to see this and you blocked my alt.
GET FUCKED, GREG. You self serving hateful motherfucker.
Seeing Mark dunk on you has been the light I needed today. You will manipulate this fandom no longer.”
User Reply 2: “Hey (at)BioMarkDarrah Serious question. Can GE get in trouble for using Cullen’s voice and claim of using Cullen as a character to pass off his ideals to others on YouTube? That’s his so called DA announcement he has planned coming up.”
Mark Darrah: “Yes. Yes he can.”
User Reply 2: “Well, he did. Calling to arms sort of deal and he smeared you. He used the music from Inquisition and tried saying something about starting a dragon age inquisition. I tagged BioWare in the link to YouTube.”
