Hello there!
For those who don't know, I am both MaximusMike AND Alphonse Darby/BarbaryDarby from Twitter/X!
For the longest time, I struggled to manage both accounts consistently. Hopefully, it'll be an easier time here.

So please, don't be to harsh on people doing REAL stuff, at least take a moment to analyze their past content for consistency before throwing the clanker accusation.
That hurt real artists.

Anytime I be seeing KH3 discourse, I wonder if those complaints are from fans of the series or those who only played 1 and 2 and nothing else.

Amazon has now backed out of this project after sustained community opposition.
But this fight isn't over, and another tech giant could try to step into Amazon's place.

Tucson residents fought back against Amazon’s secretive plans to build a data center in the desert — and won.
But now, in a blatant attempt to override the City Council and the will of the people, Amazon and the project’s developer is pushing ahead anyway.

Amazon has seemingly removed the Banana Fish AI dub, likely in response to the vocal outcry
It should be noted that they can remove this AI dub, or all of their AI dubs
But they can’t remove the fact that they chose to try to do it in the first place.

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.

I love paying human artists and I hate gen AI 🩵
I'm not here to fight about whether or not AI is ethical (I've made my decision and I doubt I'm gonna change yours.) I'm just here to talk about what I and many other artists have been dealing with as we adjust to a new media landscape.

For several years - and over the course of almost 70 episodes - I’ve been quietly geeking out about finally becoming a part of the Digimon universe alongside my castmates.
Now I can finally announce that with the pending release of #Digimon Ghost Game, you can hear me as “Kiyoshiro Higashimitarai”!
