“I was only sixteen when I got pregnant.  I was so disappointed in myself.  I thought I’d end up like one of those pregnant teens on Maury.  I did finish high school, I will say that.  But afterwards I had no good options.  My family didn’t have money.  My son’s father wasn’t around.  It was on me to do something.  So I joined the Navy.  I was basically gone for the next six years.  I had to leave my son with my parents.  It was an extremely hard decision.  But anything I did was going to look bad, if I had stayed behind, I would have just been a bum ass ‘project girl’ with a kid.  I had to provide.  And I was still a kid myself, so I needed experience.  When I came home for good, my son was seven years old.  He lives with me now.  We’re working on it.  I’d love for him to be a ‘mama’s boy,’ but in a lot of ways he’s still closer to my parents.  He gives them random hugs and kisses.  I have to ask for mine.  So we’ve still got a ways to go.  But I used the GI Bill to get a bachelor’s degree.  And I’ve got a job where I make real money.  I’m proud of myself.  I work in a place that I never could have imagined when I was sixteen.  I have ‘work friends.’  I spend my day with people who are motivated to be better, not just in work, but as people.  I’m doing well.  And considering how I started, that’s an amazing thing.”

Two hunters lost in the woods

They had been lost for a long time and were both starving. While walking, one of the hunters notices a tree that has thin slices of meat hanging from it. He yells to the other and points towards the tree: “Look, we’re saved!!! There’s a BACON TREE!!!”. He starts running for the tree when all of a sudden a group of armed men appear and start shooting at him. The hunter turns right back and yells at his friend “RUN!!! IT’S NOT A BACON TREE, IT’S A HAM BUSH!!!!”

in Rohan they call nieces & nephews sister-sons and sister-daughters BUT in the Shire they use terms like ‘third cousin once removed’ so all in all I feel like there must have been some very confusing conversations there

Eomer: so well me, how are you related to the Ringbearer?

Merry: oh, he’s my first cousin once removed

Eomer: ah! I see! *frantically whispering to Eowyn* what does that mean in real people language

Eowyn: I don’t know and at this point I’m afraid to ask

miss-bubles

when you add in the fact that the language of the hobbits is decended from the Rohirrim language, (the formal title of Pippins father Paladin Took is Thain aka the Rohirrim word for king) it just gets more crazy fun

STOP HAVING WHITE VOICE ACTORS PLAYING NON-WHITE ROLES

stop depriving non-white actors opportunities to act and get recognized!

out-there-on-the-maroon

Voice actors often don’t know who they’re reading for or what franchise they’re in (that’s what the strike was recently about, so they’d know whether they were in a small first time game or the 4th installment of a major franchise, if they were replacing a beloved voice actor, etc.) so please don’t harass the actors, until recently they legally didn’t have the right to know who they were reading for and were usually not told until months or even years later. 

Definitely go after casting, directors, and studios executives. Those are the people making the decisions. 

thetidebreaks

Example of a VA not knowing (and getting screwed on top of it).

patrick-padre-ford

They still don’t have the right to know. They got fucking nothing out of that strike. They can know the code name (which might be a serial number or whatever) and if it’s a sequel. That’s it. That’s the extent of the “transparency” they won from the strike.

vecna

As a perfect example of this controversy, if you haven’t looked up interviews surrounding Laura Bailey as Nadine Ross, it’s worth it.

Laura Bailey herself explained that when she auditioned for the role, she was given no information about what the character looked like. It was only after she was hired and arrived for recording that she was shown concept art and discovered the character was a WOC. She was uncomfortable about the situation.

Meanwhile, Neil Druckmann revealed that they were already working on concept art of the character when they hired Laura Bailey. They finalized the character’s design as a WOC after they’d hired a white voice actress, so that was a conscious decision. He was also very flippant about the situation as a whole.

Like people above have said: Yes, whitewashed casting is a legitimate and real issue. But unlike actors in film and stage, voice actors are often totally blind to what they’re auditioning for. They get fucked by NDAs and legal red tape bullshit. Go after the casting directors and execs and high-position game devs that knowingly make these decisions.

Reblogging for that info

rowantheexplorer

Call out the studios making these decisions, but leave the actors alone. There’s nothing they can do about it short of breaching the contract and paying thousands in fines to the company that put them in that shitty position in the first place. Game companies are horrendously exploitative of performers and artists and need to be called out.
