Am I… the only one seeing a real racist comment here? Voice actors do not need to be an all features exact representation man/female doing a cosplay of the character. What does it matter they do not “Match”? More so, I’m pretty sure the All new Avengers haven’t had voices yet, so why are you sure he can’t do it right? I don’t know, I feel that way.
yep, exactly. It’s a voice actor, they should be thankful it’s a GUY voicing him. In most cartoons it’s women voicing literally every character.
Wait, you’re saying that it’s racist to want Black voice actors to have an opportunity to voice Black characters? Seriously?
It’s cute that you think the OP and anyone that isn’t cool with a white guy voicing one of the biggest Black legacy characters out there have no idea how the voice acting industry works.
But we do!
Probably better than you because we’re capable of understanding that Black voice actors probably don’t get a third of the opportunities that white voice actors do. White people can be everything and anyone and we can’t even play ourselves.
They should have hired an Afro Latin@ voice actor to voice Miles, straight up.
Because it would be a way to give a Black voice actor a career opportunity voicing a character that is important to Black kids and comic fans. It’s not enough that Miles is (finally) being represented in a major way, not when the attempt at diversity is only on the screen and not behind it too.
That’s not acceptable.
Neither is your response to the OP.
Y’all need to think about how inappropriate and incorrect your collective responses to the OP are and why making an excuse for casting like this is wrong and short sighted. And you all need to rethink telling anyone – but especially Black people – that they should be grateful for whitewashed voice casting because that’s just… special.
If you’re not bothered by this casting, that’s on you.Whatever. But if you can’t bring yourself to understand why other people would and should be upset with how, once again, Black people aren’t being thought of to literally tell our own stories…
Well you need to let posts like these pass you by because what y’all are doing here shows both a ton of ignorance and a lack of empathy for people who suffer from a lack of representation.
It’s not a good look on any of you.
JFC Tiny Co, couldn’t be fucking bothered to find a black voice actor to give this job too, could ya?
Lazy fucks. Representation matters, you money grabbing dicks.
FYI all players, if you want to object to this casting, you can go here and click the red Contact Us button halfway down the page. You’ll have to enter your information including your long-ass player ID, but I urge everyone to mention that if Miles appears in the game voiced by a white actor, they’ll remove the game from their device and cease play. I made sure to mention that Miles was an Afro-Latino character, and that blackface will not be tolerated in the media I choose to interact with.
