This will be a shock to some of you- the characters who the actor acts out is not them!

This isn’t a new thing, but I’m glad that it’s being ridiculed widely now. There are voice actors who will be harassed and death threats will be sent to them just because they voiced a character that people don’t like. In my experience the ones who I met were all just really nice.

I met DC Douglas, for example. He voiced Suguru Kamoshida (who is a child rapist) and Kira Yoshikage. (Who’s a serial killer.) DC Douglas (as far as I know) is NOT a child rapist or a serial killer. It was really cool meeting him and we talked about JoJo. (I haven’t finished part 4 at that point so he was dropping hints to Kira’s hand fetish origin.)

Likewise, McConaughey isn’t the characters he acts as. Just because his characters use guns sometimes (I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in anything) doesn’t automatically means that he’s for people having easy access to guns, especially assault rifles. (Apparently pistols has an age limit of 21 in Texas but assault rifles only has an age limit of 18? I dunno how true that is and confirming this wouldn’t do anything for my personal argument.)

I’m going to bring this up every time somebody tries blaming a voice actor for the actions of whatever anime or video game character they voiced.

(Did I use this as an opportunity to brag? No. I would have said what I said regardless. Did I take the opportunity when it was presented? Absolutely.)
