I think you should buy my trans magical girl novels. They’re full of big feelings and big action and you’re directly supporting me and my work.

It’s technically small business Saturday, yes?

Great time to support the small business that is me and my art 🤭

Dear Hollywood execs: You greenlit a freaking Fred movie back in 2010. You can greenlight a Magica Riot animated series.

Every single person involved in creating this should be blacklisted from anything even tangentially related to art.

This is *awful.* AI is awful. PAY VOICE ACTORS.
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 is so awful! Voice actors deserve respect and compensation and no AI is ever going to be able to do what a VA can do with their human creativity and performance choices.

God this makes me angry.
I hope the people involved in saying yes to this poop their pants violently at the exact most embarrassing time to do so each day :)

They pay us so little in dubbing already & clearly think we aren't worth paying at all yet theyre also bringing in celebs for "name factor"

Performance means nothing
Hey just so you know Amazon decided to give us an AI ENGLISH DUB of Banana Fish instead of actually hiring real voice actors
it is fucking hot garbage

Swung by my local bookshop to pick up an order today. Had Magica Riot as an ebook already but wanted to switch to having physical copies.
