Fantastic video. Among other things, goes in depth as to how young white men are ultimately victims of the capitalist and patriarchal apparatus they'll literally die defending to uphold and protect. Not even someone as wealthy and powerful as Kirk was immune to it- meat for the grinder.

Hey to that one "Voice Actor" on Twitter who keeps complaining about the Banana Fish Ai dub even though they scabbed for a gacha company now unabashedly open about their Ai intentions.
This shit is why the OG actors struck. Read the room.

Important thread on the push for AI in localization
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

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.

When you have "long live loli waifus" on your bio and you want to talk about how you hate dubs and localization then that means RAPING and GROOMING children is your TRUE hobby i.e. "lolicon".
But of course, they won't admit it. 😂👌

BTW, this is happening in many industries - push for AI use comes from CEOs that had already bought the golden eggs before they had even seen the goose and now desperately need a return for their investment.

Here Spanish voice actors are refusing to sign any kind of contract that mentions anything about using THEIR work to train AI models, which is causing some games to not have the Iberian Spanish option

Furtheremore, as any other intelligent person said about the use of AI: it's only a cost-cutting measure and it will make entertainment much even worse.

The "English dubs suck" cretins have no clue about things like ACTING, DIRECTION, and WRITING.
What's worse is that what they want is not voice ACTING but "voice just like the Japanese version".

Like you said before, at least a "bad" dub in the past was done by humans. And from what little I know, "bad" dubs are usually from poor direction.

I've never even seen Banana Fish but I'm pissed off for Banana Fish fans.
There's a lot of great anime that has gone undubbed for years and the fact that a stupid corporation decided to use AI for one is such garbage.
