I was under the impression that actors and actresses have tard wranglers in their employ, commonly known as agents. Granted, this is the anime voice acting, not Hollywood, so I wouldn't expect them to have that kind of money. But typically, this is what an agent is for: telling them when (and how) to shut their mouths and protect their PR. Edit: well, secondary purpose anyway, besides negotiating contracts.
I'm curious where they stand in all of this. Just speculating, of course, but when something like this pops off with one of their clients, do they just take the backseat and wait for the whole thing to unravel? I feel like that's one piece missing from all of this. Then again, as has been stated, they may not give a shit, and business progresses as usual.
Not only that, but there's the whole engagement with their audience. Monica seems to have a pretty good poker face and that has helped weather the brunt of any public backlash... but then again, you also have people that have now questioned them in public venues over what happened. Now, they can organize a hugbox (as Marchi did) and put up a front and make it look like it's just a bunch of weird weebs sperging out, but the whole thing just tends to make people uncomfortable. And who wants to be bothered with that, when most of them just came to meet the voice actors and maybe get an autograph and a picture? I know if I was Jamie's agent, that whole scene would've made me wince, following up with a "what the holy fuck was that?!" type of one-on-one talk.
If I remember, one (female) character says something moderately gay to another female, and the second character replied with something to the effect of "but I'm a girl." In the dub the reply was changed to "I'm not into women."
I read moonrunes. It really wasn't.
Can you elaborate a little bit?
Yes, it's a bog-standard Yuri trope to teach the girl who doesn't realize girls can do perverted stuff together the wonders of skinship. Very educational.
She hasn't been tagged in it (yet), but Jamie and Funimation are currently getting criticized for LGBT erasure in Dragon Maid. It would be hilarious if woke twitter turned on her.

So my theory was right, she did change it to sound more woke and to get rid of the """"problematic"""" implications, just another instance to throw into the list of times this twat changed the original work to fit her own world view and beliefs, but i do find it funny that this attempt to pander to the woke crowd actually backfired in her face
