meanwhile in the English dub Kiryu's voice becomes soy-soaked since he's being voiced by SoyYea and a bunch of other characters are also voiced by faggy influencers.
Wooden performances transcend language, you can always tell that someone's reading their lines rather than actually acting no matter if you speak the language or not.
The voice acting business is meant to be respected profession that has roots in theater, music and acting in general. In Japan, they are often multi-talented where not only do they voice the main male and female characters, but also being professionally trained singers, they also sing the anime or game's theme songs.
What's the absolute state of the English voice acting industry?
It's either the increasing trend of hiring talentless "influencer" VAs who's only previous portfolio is having an overrated YouTube channel where they give safe and lukewarm news updates on the game industry, stretching a 4 minute topic to 25 minutes (looking at you YongYea) or the original English VA establishment based in Austin, Texas, the same old fucking faces, the same old fucking names, the same old fucking nepotism, the same old fucking Twitter Trump Derangement Syndrome fan-antagonizing side hustle (you'd be forgiven if you thought TDS was their main job and anime/game voice acting their side hustle).
TEVAD (Total English Voice Actor Death)
Why haven't you blocked maximilliandood's channel. It's like one of the essential things to do on youtube so his spam garbage doesn't clog up your search queries.
I've only watched a few of his videos but does that guy have anything remotely a controversial/critical opinion or is he the Fighting Game Community (tm) manifestation of "Consume product, get excited for new product"?
It's one of the tamer/weirder localizations that people got kinda endeared to it overtime. It's not the level of shit we've been dealing with from the last 10 years where entire swaths of texts get omitted or completely rewritten into unrelated shit in the US/Canada region english version of a game due to californians.
That's right. With some exceptions, bad localizations in the past could be explained by lack of time/money/manpower, trying to get past Nintendo's strict censors, translation tools weren't as advanced back then, or just simple lack of care or not taking their job seriously.
It is undeniable that modern shit Cali-cult localizations are
maliciously woke in their intent. While I think localizations are actually
worse than in the past, smart people on the Internet can now detect the enshitification of the original Japanese script by localizers almost immediately, where in the past, it would remain unknown and hidden for years, even decades.
There's more than what they listed. She is also responsible for some of the fujoshi bullshit regarding X and Zero.
One example is that when the shuttle fails to destroy the space colony and leads to Zero going crazy, in the botched localization X insists Zero is his "ONLY" friend, including capslock. The Japanese phrase she translated as "only" actually just means "best" in that context.
While a minor one, this is an example of
character assassination and could cause confusion of game lore and canon within the English-speaking Mega Man (or any other game franchise) fandom.
For example, you'd have the Japanese Mega Man community saying "X is an empathetic and idealistic robot who wants to realize his goal of a peaceful co-existence between humans and robots and is surrounded by a close group of supportive friends who share his ideals" (and they would be correct because Japanese scriptwriter = original = canon) while you would have the English community saying "nah bro that's not true, X is an emo loner and the proof is that in Mega Man X5, it was confirmed that Zero is his only friend"
Another increasingly common example of character assassination is Japanese character = feminine and gentle personality -> "localized" character = girlboss who needs no man and can do everything herself. Many such cases.
If you dig into her socials she is a nutty Trump Derangement Syndrome case as you might guess.
