Please someone explain to me what exactly is the Voice Actor Hoyo drama and how exactly is a Chinese company at fault for a (mainly) USA strike?

SAG-AFTRA goes to war against AI and starts the strike. All union members are meant to be on strike and not promote the video games from the companies who didn't sign the interim bargaining agreement. Now, Hoyo is a Chinese company and outsources its eng VA to other studios. Each of its games are in different studios. Why does Hoyo have to sign the agreement and not just the eng Studios?

Would Genshin and other non-union projects have to become union projects? Is it not allowed for non-union members to work on union projects in the voice acting industry? Would this greatly affect the non-union VAs? I like sources with these answers and not just anecdotal evidence or 'I'm a VA trust me, bro' without proof that you actually are a VA. Just like I'd like to see a true source about the 3000$+ yearly fees to join the union.

Zenless Zone Zero recently had some drama for replacing two voice actors without prior notice. The game is under Sound Candence Studios which, while not under the agreement, has in fact a clause about AI-protection in their contracts. And ZZZ and the studio are not 'struck' by the strike. But 2 VAs decided to strike anyway. One was confirmed to not even be part of the union. I think the biggest issue here was 'without prior notice' as there was no reason to strike a company that essentially doesn't have much to do with the strike anyway.

And Hoyo is changing Genshin's studio to SIDE studio, probably to bypass the strike but also to ensure that they won't have this problem in the future as they don't only use USA based VAs. In fact, they replaced a character's VA with a VA based in Japan. With a Japanese agency. In SIDE's Tokyo branch. And not only are fans mad but also the USA voice actors bullied the poor guy on twitter/x. Now, Kinich was only voiced in ONE patch. Why such drama? Because he lost a job he isn't doing? USA is not the only english speaking country in the world, and I'm sure that a lot of people in Europe, Africa and South America also play Genshin in English. People who may not be aware of the strike and complain to Hoyo about the voiceless characters. Hoyo never made a contract with the original VA, Formosa did, so they have no responsibilities towards him. And Hoyo has no moral reason to continue to employ USA citizens. Not their country, not their strike. If an American company did this, I wouldn't like it and it would be easy to sway me on SAG-AFTR's side. But since it's a Chinese company with an intended worldwide audience I'm more on their side. They waited for more than half a year for the US to get it together and come to a conclusion and it's their right as a foreign company to act upon the complaints of the consumers. (Hopefully, they also take the complaints of diversity and story telling in Natlan to heart as well). And honestly, I would like to have more VA's outside the US in general. I dislike the overexposure of USA media and licensing groups.(Hated it since 4kids got the rights for Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh for all of the 'western world' and countries like Germany had to take the USA versions of the shows, instead the original Japanese like they did with Digimon and One Piece. Seriously, same channel one after another you would hear Brock say in german: 'jelly filled donut' for rice ball and then hear Zorro say onigiri or riceball later)

Anyway. I do have a bias, but I'm still on the fence since TikTok, Reddit and Youtube all have different sentiments and opinions depending on the information, misinformation, and rumors they heard. I just want clarity. I would even read the entire interim bargaining agreement to properly understand what is happening. Except the bullying. There is no reason to attack an American born Japanese person who has a wife and a child in Japan for taking a job his Japanese agency probably told him to take. The moment the audition started the old VA lost the job. He didn't betray anyone.

There is also the fact that it seems Wriothlessly's VA isn't om strike anymore since he does promote Genshin on his YouTube again.

I think it is really messed up for Hoyo to replace Kinich's english voice actor without telling him. And it is fucked that the new voice actor would just go out and announce it as if rubbing salt into wounds.

Can we all just put in any survey for all hoyo games to ask them to sign the agreement already? We cannot keep losing voice actors like this. Hoyo needs to sign the agreement to protect their jobs.

The Pact Ring is optional.

And no, the characters are not "just generic comedy relief white people." Person that submitted this does not know the characters and it shows

Fandom Problem #6081:

Something I dislike about Fire Emblem Engage is the pact ring feature. If they did not have romantic supports for characters, they did not need the pact ring. The pact ring lets the MC, Alear, create a special bond with any character she gives it to. (Female Alear is the only valid one, so Alear will only be referred to by she/her.) Sounds great and all right?

The only problem is that you can give the pact is that you can give the pact ring to the literal children of the game. The youngest being 10! Like... what the fuck?! It is a red flag if anyone gives the pact ring to any of the characters younger than 18. Y'all know what you are.

Anyways!

Timerra, Fogado, Zelkov, and Rosado are best characters in game. Timerra, Fogado and Zelkov because they are the few black characters in game. And Rosado for being a trans icon.

Meanwhile all the other characters are just generic comedy relief white people.

[felldragonrafal]

Not to mention, she also reblogged things like these.

And some of these are things she is doing herself.

You attention please !!

Faleartruther (previously chaotic flower, previously queen of solm previously timerra lover etc) has now decided that sending herself Anon ask to hate on Male Alear wasn't enough and now she is sending herself Hate anon on F Alear and putting them in main tags to put weight on their narrative of F Alear being unjusttly treated

Here are the evidence

In case you wonder how you know its her well...the typos and childihsness is a dead give away

Yeah allow me to doubt that and screw you for lying about something like this it's not a joke and this isn't a gotcha you can use to justify your tantrums at Male Alear

Mate....

THAT IS WHAT YOU HAD BEEN DOING ON YOUR BLOG SINCE DAY ONE OR RATHER SHOULD I SAY YOUR BLOGS !! YOU WERE ALREADY DOING THIS THE FIRST TIME

You mean... like what you did to maleartruther ???

"90%" wow isnt that insane to say when a great majority of male Alear fans are WOMEN while F Alear is most popular with MEN

For the love of... This nonsensical war between the Avatar gender needs to stop

If you ever stumble upon this blog don't feel bad for receiving the FAKE ASK they send themselves and report them

They have a history of problematic behavior and LONG before even joining Fire emblem

it wouldn't be fair if there were no more alts for M!Alear.

It is also funny to see that you would be fine with a Veyle duo having F!Alear as backpack, but you are complaining about M!Alear.

DUO ALEAR DUO ALEAR!

[felldragonrafal]

You really hate him that much? That sure is something...

My shoddy attempt to edit it to Isolated Winter F!Alear

[felldragonrafal]

i kind of feel like if switching leads was a thing, they would just make it an excuse to make Sakura debut as a backpack on a harmonic/duo for the third time.

My shoddy attempt to edit it to Isolated Winter F!Alear

[felldragonrafal]

Your tags are very telling about how you think. You could just let M!Alear fans be happy about him getting an alt, but you would rather complain about it. It is also rude to edit the art like this.

My shoddy attempt to edit it to Isolated Winter F!Alear

[felldragonrafal]

Well they chose M!Alear as the lead. And there is nothing wrong with that. It just feels natural to do that because F!Alear had summer alt recently. It is only natural to make M!Alear lead for this

DUO ALEAR DUO ALEAR!

[felldragonrafal]

I think that is stupid to say. She is only in the front cause she is shorter. Her being in the front for the art does not mean she should be the lead. If they made her the lead, then she would have 4 alts and m!Alear would be at 2. This evens it out by having her be the backpack

DUO ALEAR DUO ALEAR!

[felldragonrafal]

I see nothing wrong with M!Alear being the lead. About time he got an alt. F!Alear already got a summer alt, so it is natural for M!Alear to be the lead of the duo that he is part of. Ain't nothing wrong with that. F!Alear is only in the front for the art cause she is shorter. That is all. M!Alear still makes sense as the lead of the alt. Don't get so upset about it.

DUO ALEAR DUO ALEAR!

[felldragonrafal]

tbh i think there are a few that aren't them. doesn't fit their typical typing pattern.

The one with the "Time to take the word misandry and put it on the shelf.." is not as simplistic as their normal ones.

And the "follow up to misandry" one also does not fit their pattern. They never used words like oppressed or systematically before from what I have seen.

And that og Alearcryst one? That was sent by someone I know. They wanted to test if this person really was who we thought they were. And the way they responded in the tags kinda confirmed it. I should also say that the situation explained in that ask had actually happened. There were people that really told my friend that the story felt more emotional and interesting with F!Alear when the only thing changed was pronouns.

this fe confessions blog sure is unhinged. they are a hypocrite

[felldragonrafal]

Well at least I kept screenshots of things she accepted, so if another blog pops up with the same stuff people would know.

it's all here if you want it.

Well I think I got myself blocked by that blog for pointing out their double standard. It is safe to say that they don't like people defending men.

I see..

After seeing your ask I went to check and

it seems they deactivated (again)...

let's see how long this last this time before I hear of her again

Fogado never believed fairytales. It wasn't like anything written in them were real. Love at first sight? Impossible! And then he met Alcryst.
