Smg4's fans unpopular episode (NOT ME AND SHADOW FREDDY IDIOT!)

Smg4: The Resurrection

Reason: during her episode is extremely divisive about greg and desti never bring back to life after bob bobowski's failed mortal magic way worse than private video during reddit's flamewars

Smg4: The idea block

Reason: cricistim of rabid fanbase in a bad light and made the recolour mario's are very angry at him who making worst videos (not until both two of them are escaping)

Smg4: Boys vs Girls

Reason: the video was reference back to the total drama island way before teen titans go of which is the best, but very different that meggy challenge against smg4 mario as she being main antagonist with saiko and tari

Smg4: Mario Joins The Circus

Reason: the incident saddest choice of fourth wall that he less screentime about asking mario to leave the mushroom kingdom as a kicked out (but luckily that he needs the results that who want to showing a little forgiveness after smg4 mario dies by shyguy's giant toast maker [almost])

S̶M̶6̶4̶: `•.¸¸.•´´¯`••. .• ( Tubbie TV ) •. .••`¯´´•.¸¸.•`

Reason: criticisms; due to excessive torture of smg4 mario and perceived overuse of teletubbies and GMOD who put the cringest of "teddy teletubby" with smg4 Mario headed on it (at least for it's release period)

Smg4: Officer Meggy

Reason: very extreme criticism on hal monitor during the reference of wake of george floyd protests incident of police brutality after the death of flyod's last breath

Smg4: DO NOT ENTER

Reason: on meggy and saiko bullying smg4 mario as a bad side [pls don't tell smg4 and melony] (though the latter had the right to do so) and the inclusion of kaizo back to the flashback of doki doki club because she in trouble by his fanbase (sometimes) of "declining" smg4 mario's annoying friendship, but good thing smg4 luigi is still care for him after mario being burn at last

Smg4: Mario meets a demon and is shortly beheaded

Reason: the proper inclusion of Kaizo and criticisms about the blooper being similar to saiko's flashback of Doki Doki Mario Club after fanbase's striking similarities (habits) as a esque-anime character

Smg4: If Mario Was The Last Man On Earth

Reason: unlike the same thing as a spongebob having a "international day without spongebob day" and gumball watterson wishing to make everyone gone before worrying, this is a different that the mushroom kingdom towards smg4 mario "except meggy" (possibily) after they missing

good thing they don't put "how to train on mario" and "POV you're mario" on it

Note: IF YOU MESSED UP AT SMG4 LIKE PRINCESS SWORD HEART I'LL KICK YOU OUT FOR NOTHING

be safe lol ❤️❤️❤️

PERIOD 💅💅💅 Much like the black community the Asian community has faced far to much hatred and discrimination. As an activist with a large platform I would be letting down my Asian friends and colleagues if I didn’t use my voice to spread awareness to these pressing issues. Marginalized communities need to work together to #stop hate‼️🗣💯💅

What the fuck is going on with the Black Lives Matters tag? No one is talking about George Floyd or Breonna Taylor anymore. There's nothing about Portland or any of the protests or even about the that rotting cheetos secret police abducting innocent people.

It's nothing but covid, Bernie, and political cartoons about Trump and right wing posts cropping up and sexbots.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT THOSE WE'VE LOST.

Remember

Don't let Tumblr repurpose the BLM tag

Remember Breonna Taylor

Don't let these monsters get away with her murder

Louisville Metro Police Department officers who fired their guns at Breonna Taylor's apartment: Brett Hankison, Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove.

Don't forget about Elijah McClain

Remember George Floyd

SAY THEIR NAMES

Milley was so plagued by the photo op that he considered resigning, Woodward and Costa reported. The general is said to have asked former Secretary of State Colin Powell — who also previously served as joint chiefs chairman — if he should resign.

"Fuck no!" Powell responded, according to the book. "I told you never to take the job. You never should have taken the job. Trump's a fucking maniac."

Powell was one of several former top military officials to criticize the photo op. "We have a Constitution. And we have to follow that Constitution. And the President has drifted away from it," Powell told CNN.

all these racist ass voice actors on twitter (cough laura bailey cough) coming out with hashtag black lives matter, after taking black characters' roles (cough nadine ross cough) + other coloured characters in video games for YEARS and then coming up with bullshit excuses and gaslighting fans when they called her out on it is just lmao.

(Jun 5, 2020 · a year ago)

"Coloured characters"?

I don't even recall Laura Bailey's specific reaction to George Floyd's murder. Searching it brings up the usual resigned, and angry statements about the incident, and how it should never happen again (topped off with a #BlackLivesMatter hashtag).

That said, it's not impossible for Bailey to feel aggrieved about Floyd, but maintain that there isn't an issue with (white actors) voicing Black and non-Black characters in the industry's current state. I think her commentary from 2016 about how she was hired as Nadine still remains relevant (x).

if folks were calling her out in June 2020 about her role as Nadine whilst she was expressing support for BLM, and she responded? I doubt it was going to change her mind. If anything, it simply might've entrenched her complicity.

Five years after the fact, games like Forspoken, and established discontent about Bailey's casting in U4 can only highlight why it was such an issue for people in the first place. It was avoidable, but the Naughty Dog did it anyway b/c it was what they wanted.

(Like, again, when there were Black characters in TLOU2, they hired Black actors.)

A lot of what happened in June 2020 with celebrities (large and small) was an expression of a lot of white guilt with nowhere to go (that or using the moment for media exploitation). The #BLM hashtags in descriptions and twitter usernames, temporary or persisting, are symptoms of that.

The moment in time where fewer than five voice actors vowed not to voice Black or Asian characters (on a show) anymore (1, 2, 3, 4) was, to me, akin to "we're renaming the Aunt Jemima syrup and Uncle Ben's rice".

It felt like an empty gesture. It didn't create visible change for Black and non-Black voice actors in the industry. There are still a lot of white voice actors comfortable with voicing characters of color.

They'll use the "well, they do it too!" argument to defend their choices, ignoring the behind-the-scenes problem that keeps the VA industry so white.

There are lot of agencies upholding the status quo, not interested in trying to support the sentiments that saw non-Black/Asian voice actors withdraw from roles that could've gone to Black and non-Black actors. Just those two fronts alone will create problems for people trying to change the landscape.

It makes those decisions feel arbitrary, if not completely performative (given how long it was before the actors realized "I'm befitting from and participating in a widespread problem"). Because, who beyond the creatives of the show supported their decisions?

(And all the same, why did it take something completely traumatizing like the recorded murder of a man to create even marginal change in people? I mean, I know why, but it's such a fucking depressing state of affairs.)

Developers like NetherRealm Studios, Deck Nine, and DONTNOD Entertainment certainly do their part to hire authentic voices for Black and non-Black characters (all while contradicting those decisions). The defunct Visceral Games (Dead Space) went one step further and often the face models for their non-white characters to voice said characters. The shift towards photorealism in games has certainly aided Black actors and voice actors a great deal as well.

Organizations like Game Devs of Color, Black Game Developers, and PoC In TTRPGs are certainly doing their part to aid underrepresented artists in the industry. It's obvious there are folks trying to change the things. It's not all doom-and-gloom, but there are just too many comfortable with the status quo.

Comfortable enough to attack said organizations for drawing attention to their specific issues, and at the same time, create spaces to solve it (not just talk about it like I do here on this blog).

It just reminds me of what discipleofbastet said back in 2016:

But if the mind set is: “Best person for the job, but white actors have a bias in their favor.” It won’t matter if diverse casts are in vogue. You could have an all black roster of characters, but still keep voice acting as white and biased as it currently is. (x)

Black and non-Black (voice) actors and fans have talked-to-death and resurrected their frustrations about how limited opportunities are in the VA industries for anyone who isn't a white actor with the privilege to become a voice everyone is tired of hearing (ah-la Nolan North, Steve Blum, Laura Bailey, Jen Hale, etc). They've empathized how important writing and directing plays into that as well.

(It what makes Troy Baker (IIRC) joking about it as he receives an award come off tone deaf or insensitive.)

2016 saw plenty of Back and forth about the subject, especially during the peak of the 2016-2017 vg voice actor strike, and during the release of U4ATE.

But just like in 2020, the industry sort've shrugged its shoulders, waited for the fervor to die down, and moved on. Fandom-at-large chose to remain ignorant about why the discussion of Black/Asian actors voicing Black/Asian characters was even an issue.

Pop culture websites keep headlining the idea that, "we're finally having a conversation about race in voice acting", but those most visible in the industry are avoiding or dismissing it.

[@ phillamarr: Anybody trying to create false equivalences about underrepresented minorities (POC, women) voicing majorities (white, males) in animation, keep my name the f--- out ya mouth]

That Phil Lamarr (who was also pretty vocal during the strike) had to preemptively warn people to keep his name out of their mouths when folk complained about Jenny Slate (Big Mouth), Kristen Bell (Central Park), and Alison Brie (Bojack Horseman) withdrawing from their roles, is a problem.

Laura Bailey, however aggrieved she was by Floyd's murder, is part of that issue based on her complicity with the status quo. I don't think her making the same choices as Bell, Slate, or Brie would've made much or a difference, honestly. But I know a lot of people would've appreciated it all the same.
