the store that sells the game series called “sex with hitler” is pearl clutching about weird horses
The additional context is that Valve is still killing a beloved games studio, still tried to weasel out of making a press statement, still didn't allow a second review, and still did not communicate with the developer beyond vague references to their terms.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

This shit is why I'm getting less and less work on anime and having to scramble to ask around with YouTubers for help letting me do their CCs just to pay my damn rent. There's enough anime to caption out there that I should not be fucking struggling.
After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

Exactly why mask mandates are necessary to quash airborne diseases like Covid, for which we do not have a sterilizing vaccine. And for measles, for which there is no longer herd immunity via vaccines. Masking & vaccinations in combination FTW 😷💉
The whole "you shouldn't be required to get vaccines because you might think they're not safe" thing is so weird to me. We know they're safe. If you harbor a deep fear that wearing a seatbelt is somehow dangerous, you still legally have to wear one when driving.

talking about this with peers. a couple of things:
1) who produced this "dub?" amazon or aniplex or someone else?
2) who worked on it? someone had to engineer it. what software was used? there is ONE LINE of info, haha.
also, if I were a news outlet, I'd be reaching out to aniplex for comment.
