I’m so fucking pissed and disappointed in the VA and Goose. At least Alex didn’t do shit (I hope)
EDIT
(What are those racist losers yapping about under my post lmao)
So I understand the apologies they gave but that doesn’t erase what was said. They were adults and fully aware of the weight and implications of joking about the n-word.
And I’m honestly tired of seeing things like « it’s not that deep » or « it was years ago » being used to dismiss it especially when it comes from white people who aren’t even affected by that just to excuse things they don’t want to take seriously.
As an Asian minority, I’m not the target of this but I still don’t accept how easily racism gets brushed off in these discussions.
I can still enjoy the series and look forward to the finale but I won’t view it the same way or support it like I used to.
I'm so tired of this fandom's nonsense dude. Like I'm being so deadass. Receipts if you care:
We had less than two months and this shit is brought to light. From the bottom of my heart this is frankly sad and disgusting behavior, no I don't care how long ago it happened it still happened. Honestly I don't know who I'm more disappointed in the accused in question or the fandom.
Gooseworx, Michael, Ashley and Sean all took ZERO accountability and their apologies were so fake, like even if they knew that the accusations were false apologizing hurts literally nobody??? Especially in this political climate we're in addressing and taking accountability for these instances is the moral thing to do, and the fact that they're unwilling to be open about how their actions could be perceived as controversial and apologize sincerely for any hurt caused says sooooo much about who they really are as people.
And. This. Fucking. Fandom. I read the TikTok comments and it's all 'why are we being so sensitive!!' 'they didn't actually say the N-word come on guys!!' 'the allegations are false because _____!!' 'happened years ago btw!!'
This is laughable because of how stupid and sad you all sound. There is no fucking way you're defending RACIST JOKES and POTENTIAL GROOMERS because you love their work or this show or their character. Everyone grasping at straws to defend so obviously and blatantly not-so-great people is honestly pathetic.
This fandom has to be full of people with attachment issues, there's no way you're so attached to Michael Kovach that you're defending him laughing at the word 'nega' for almost a minute straight and doing literal mental gymnastics to downplay how that joke could be taken. I don't give a fuck if it happened in 2019 (peak of the BLM movement btw), timing is never an excuse and it only makes it more disappointing that this wasn't addressed sooner.
And also, what happened to believing the victim guys? Sean Chiplock has fucking grooming allegations and that's all being swept under the rug for some reason? The racism needs to be talked about too but the fact that the LITERAL ACCUSED GROOMER is getting less backlash says so much about how you guys can defend a voice actor if they voice a fan-favorite character. Send your best wishes to the victims involved and GLITCH.
Which, speaking of. Poor GLITCH. They currently don't have any allegations so I feel so bad for them, along with Alex, Lizzie, Amanda and Marissa. Gooseworx is a POS for making racist jokes on Twitter, a climate she knew that racist jokes would be easier to downplay or get ignored. And it's tragic, because, as an African-American girl I genuinely looked up to her and wanted to follow in her footsteps one day.
Now I want to be better than her, and I already have a head start because I can take accountability and I don't say racist things on the internet. Or at all.
The defenders in this fandom are exhausting, the accused are exhausting, and I'm so disappointed in the experience TADC is turning into. This is not how I, GLITCH, or anyone wanted this amazing and thoughtful piece of media to end, and it says a lot more about the toxicity of fandom culture than we realize.
Yeah, sorry not to support a cast that would actively make fun of me/ attack me 🤓🤓
Plus, Gooseworx actively said to be a naz1. I am Jewish and my family has been killed during the Shoah. "Get a grip" but it's jokes about the genocide of millions of people. Not only jews, but romani as well
Plus, did we forget about Jax's VA voicing a goku x Anne Frank comic ?
And the cast said multiple times the N word. How old are you to forget about this ? How inventive are you to the enslavement of idk how many black people? Also segregation was not even 100 years ago. To this day, many minorities still struggle to live, still DIE because of the way they were born.
And don't come to me saying "yeah but gay people.." you can hide being gay. You cannont hide being a person of color. Before seeing you as a queer person, they will see you as a white human being.
I am saying this as a queer person btw
Yes I am mad and I will still be. Because white queers are so freaking privileged it hurt my brain.
"Get a grip" but I am a biracial person who still suffer generational trauma of the Shoah and lived with people making fun of my weird features.
You're probably a young white folk so I am not surprised-
Btw, I drew a Pomni with a gun a few days ago and I THANKFULLY had the chance to meet the wonderful Noelia Lestani (Pomni's Spanish VA) and asked her to sign it 🩷. I gave her another one as a gift, I was really REALLY happy to meet her, she's so sweet and nice 🥹🩷 definitely it was one of the best days that I had in the fandom 🩷
(DON'T post/comment any spoilers or I WILL BLOCK YOU)
yall don't want my opinion on the tadc controversy rn but maybe i'll give it later
here's the abridged version if i ramble later or don't talk abt it: it wasn't a funny joke . it was immature and the punchline of a joke should never be "hah!! cuz you know!! racism!" because that's rude and dismissive. the people involved in it have issued decent apologies acknowledging that their actions were wrong. this is a prime example of why we should try our best not to form parasocial relationships with celebrities. a lot of them have either touched kids or said the n word (and there is some overlap). im white as fuck so this also isn't my thing to forgive. those r my opinions lol do w that what u will 🤷
Sean Chiplock’s interactions with the rest of the cast’s voice actors, especially while playing a game is how I imagine Kinger to act like if he was sane the entire time
