This year was certainly not all bad. It feels nice to line some of my blessing up like this. Most of all, I'm lucky to have amazing people in my life cheering me on. Thank you.✨

TL:DR for those who don’t want to read this long ass thread of mine.
• I don’t really care to talk about Hoyoverse anymore outside of making the occasional jab at them and the fandom.
• The fandom and Dramatubers are pussies
• Hoyoverse is going all in on GenAI slop
• I don’t really care to talk about Hoyoverse anymore outside of making the occasional jab at them and the fandom.
• The fandom and Dramatubers are pussies
• Hoyoverse is going all in on GenAI slop
So I haven’t talked about this in a minute and I might as well explain why.
If you’ve noticed I’ve mostly quit talking about the Hoyoverse BS and have only made the occasional jokes about the community.
That’s because there really isn’t much to say anymore, they’re cooked.

It'd be cool if a large fandom didn't come to the defense of their favorite gacha company trying to exploit voice actors. Maybe instead of calling VAs who want protections "entitled Americans" you understand that what this company is doing is wrong? Maybe stop being angry at the victims?

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything

You can always tell when someone has rarely if ever been told no because they will always adamantly be the most belligerent, wrongest, loudest, most obnoxious person within a 50 mile radius who has to demand answers as to why they cant be catered to that very second.

Having worked for mentioned studio, (and a literal dozen other similar ones), it's funny that there isn't an immediate assumption that the studio would have their own contract with the client, which would idk maybe, ensure the client get the final say in decisions like these?
You’re not likely to hear anything from Rocket Sound or any studio about this unless they feel it necessary to weigh in.
But really - you’re suggesting that a studio should be able to do what the actor wants, and also obey the client’s demands.
That doesn’t make any sense.
Hoyo replaced him.

Hoyo replaced him.
If the studio did care about the actor and having them keep the role, they should be doing both what’s right for them and abiding by their clients’ contract requirements. Until we hear any info from Rocket Sound themselves on their side of this story, we don’t have the full picture.

Just casually remembering how the actors withholding work from Hoyo titles to gain AI protections kept pointing out that they would be legally on the hook if they agreed to work without them...
I care about the actor and keeping their role, but we live in a world where having legal documents for something like this matters a lot. Without legal documents like a contract, how can we stand for the actor in court if a lawsuit does happen?

Corey Landis has posted email exchanges between himself and the representatives for HoYoVerse where he makes it clear he was not communicated with re: his being replaced, and also?
He refused to sign paperwork that, in his words, was not industry standard.

At this point even if every single English voice actor came out to say Hoyo treats them like shit, the fandom would insist they were all acting unprofessionally and that’s somehow worse.
If all you care about is decorum and not the wellbeing of actors?
You’re licking an ugly pair of boots.

I'm chatting about this in another server with people and the consensus I'm seeing is claiming Corey is acting "unprofessional" and "Theatric" in the second half of his email.
But the main defense seems to be: "Their CN/JP/KR studios never have this issue. It has to be the EN side's fault."

⚖️ Don't settle for less just because you're hungry or fancy yourself savvy. Think about your colleagues: just because you negotiate a good contract for YOU doesn't mean THEY got the same one.

Worth noting: If this were a @sagaftra.org project and Hoyo insisted an actor sign some piece of contractual language that wasn't part of the SAG-AFTRA agreement, the actor can send it to the VO division of the union and ask them to take a look.
