The Flaming Freezer

You know, I've seen, on multiple occasions, people who profess to dislike English dubs defending Vic Mignogna. Why? I honestly thought the very fact that he's an English voice actor would be enough reason for them to hate him, whether or not he did anything else unsavory.

I understand and agree with the notion of "actors are not the same as their characters". English voice actors, however, are toxic simply for being "actors".https://twitter.com/tsunderica/status/1293669100170825728?s=20 …

We need everyone who's been labeled a "sub elitist" by English dub lovers to become a professional teacher or critic of vocal artistry. Maybe then everyone else can learn a thing or two about what constitutes good voice acting, and learn how important artistic standards are.

If pedophilia is just a preference, then so is English voice acting. https://twitter.com/Howdy_Bitch_/status/1291061773248888834?s=20 …

If anything, official English voice acting is much worse than fandubs. The fact that English voice actors can honestly believe that they're producing something good for the world only speaks to their ignorance and callousness.https://twitter.com/BrittanyLaudaVO/status/1290501385453109248?s=20 …

...use for just any field they think would be fun for them to be in, and that letting go is the more upstanding course of action than hanging on and persisting. If people like them can't accept defeat, that only prolongs the pain, not just for them, but for everyone else.

...suffer. If some person or group has an established track record for failure, giving them more chances don't come free -- it just lets them do more damage for no worthwhile increase in competence. What people like them really need to learn is humility, that they are not of...

I'm being told, telling anyone that they need to stay out of a field instead of giving them infinite chances to get better is promoting defeatism. However, is the alternative really more noble? In practice, there is always a limit to how much incompetence people can and should...

Do most people who hate English dubs not hate the English voice actors themselves? Who honestly thinks they should be considered innocent people just trying to do jobs, even if English dubs will never be good? Or that they're not innocent, but, "love the sinner, hate the sin"?

...exist as it does now, it threatens to waste and invalidate any and all effort Japan puts into voice acting.

...their way, then it would mean acting isn't even something that people should bother learning in any official capacity, as it would mean any notion of effort and skill would be meaningless in the fields of artistic performances. As long as English voice acting continues to...

If more people than not think it's fine to like English voice acting, it begs the question -- what exactly ARE people getting taught regarding art and theater these days? Or rather, WHY are people getting taught anything regarding those subjects? If English dub apologists had...

And before I forget, #GodsOfVoiceActing, for whenever I share this kind of stuff.

...improving the art and storytelling in Western works, unlike English voice acting, which is a complete write-off.

...eliminating Western media altogether, to push Western countries out of not just voice acting, but art and storytelling altogether. I know that's taking it much farther than even I ever have, and I'll even admit I'm hoping not to have to do that. I'm more open to ideas on...

I've been thinking. Maybe it was in a way wrong for me to advocate for Japan to voice act for Western media, because most people who pay attention to anime recognizes that anime is superior to Western media regardless. So, maybe the right thing to do is to advocate for...
