Mr. Love: Queen Is Not Allowed To Make That Choice

On Twitter I've been RTing a lot about the situation re: the firing of Jonah Scott (a voice actor) by Mr. Love: Queen's Choice's dev/localizer because of his Tweeting "Taiwan is a country."

Short summary of the issue:

Jonah Scott tweeted "Taiwan is a country" on June 3rd as part of the backlash against John Cena

almost immediately some Chinese fans screencapped and complained to Elex/Paper Games

in less than 24 hours from Jonah Scott's Tweet, on June 4th, the official MLQC Twitter and Facebook accounts announced that he was not only being fired but that all his content would be scrubbed from the game, meaning that Victor (one of 4 main love interests) would be voiceless

about 12 hours after that, Joe Zieja and Sean Chiplock, who voiced two of the other three main characters, announced that they would not voice their characters in protest at Scott's firing, because Scott did not violate anything in his contract

The official accounts of MLQC deleted their Tweet about firing Jonah Scott. However they did nothing else until June 7th, where they began Tweeting again, including the following: "Dear producers, Mr Love has just completed the update. Step into Loveland and check what's new in Mr Love! Don't forget to claim the maintenance compensation in your mailbox (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ New Chap 33-34 [Tracks of Light] is open now!!!! Use your power to open the curtain of the future. Please note that the voices for Victor, Gavin and Kiro are only available in text. New voice materials will be added in the future. Contact the CS team if you got any problem. Thank you for your understanding and support. MLQC Team" (emphasis mine) And that was all!

From then until now, the MLQC official accounts have continued to act like nothing unusual is happening even though 3/4ths of the love interests are now silent.

I uninstalled the game as soon as I learned about Jonah Scott's firing, in solidarity, much like Joe Zieja and Sean Chiplock.

Some people are saying that the Chinese government requires MLQC to do this (debatable, and in my opinion far more likely that Paper Games is motivated primarily by Chinese public opinion which can be very high on this issue). Regardless of whether it does or not, I am unwilling to cooperate with this behaviour. This is not just a matter of free speech but of labour rights. Moreover, the product itself that they are selling me had most of its value from the amazing voice performances of these actors. The unprofessional way that they were dispensed with is grotesque.

I won't be deleting any of my MLQC fics, but I will not be making anymore content for the fandom except for finishing For Your Own and the Greater Good which is a novel about overthrowing a despot. Make of that what you will.

Also if anyone wants to interact with this post to whine about how "you're going to kill the server uwu", fuck all the way off. If PG and Elex can't play by international cultural norms, then they can't expect to get money from international customers. Too bad for them. Stop simping for a company, it's embarrassing.

My father has been getting on my ass about my cats. They're both clawed and despite many toys, 2 cat trees and 6 cardboard scratchers their claws tend to be rough on furniture and my skin. My father says I'm wasting money by putting soft paws nail caps on them & that they should be declawed. He even said that soft paws are damaging! Am I doing the right thing?

Hell yes you’re doing the right thing. Declawing is mutilation (because it’s literally amputating a joint on each toe) and cats are often in pain their entire lives. Soft paw nail caps are expensive and a pain and the cats might think they’re annoying, but they’re by far the better choice. Props to you for standing up to him about it.

sometimes i think about what i was physically capable of as a child and teen, running jumping climbing ect, and i feel FURIOUS at the physical education i received because no matter how much i enjoyed any given activity the competitive aspect and assessment factor made me feel AWFUL for not being good enough

and now i can’t do ANYTHING except walk a bit and i’m angry because i never got shown the tools to keep me invested in continued physical activity beyond maybe dance? 

gyms, rock climbing, most sports culture for adults is the same brand of aggressive motivation that i always found off-putting so it’s really like??? guess i’ll get really into walking and destroy some shoes because i find every other exercise environment so inhospitable (and to be clear: home exercise requires a whole other level of motivation and gets pretty monotonous without the right resources)

i just want a jungle gym for adults that’s free like it is for kids is what i’m saying

A lot of people are genuinely terrified about what will happen if Donald Trump wins reelection and it's really weird how some of y'all are acting like everyone begging you to vote for Biden is some privileged, rich, out of touch, neo-liberal when a lot of them are just vulnerable people who don't want to like...die in a brutal civil war or watch all their remaining rights get stripped away by an increasingly authoritarian Republican Party.

I do not know how to express to you how much worse it can get.
