The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter
This is a one-way ticket to everyone being the dominant race behind the scenes because studios won’t hire other races.
How is that true in a way different from other industries? I do think there’s no necessity for the race of the VA to correspond with the race of the character. That might be because I don’t have a good grasp on the arguments otherwise though.
The argument I’ve heard in favor of VAs matching their characters is to avoid laundering white perspectives to minority characters, which would make sense if the VA didn’t have their livelihood on the line when asked to read from a script written by a cishet white man. I feel like having a minority do that makes no difference other than providing a cover of legitimacy for the words said.
But as a cishet white male myself, maybe I’m mischaracterizing the argument, I’d be curious. I have asked my (racial minority) wife at one point and she wasn’t sure.
It’s a given that there are insensitivities in hirings, but I struggle to imagine a way in which that would be unique to voice acting specifically.

The race and gender of an actor don’t matter. Ask Shakespeare

Christian missionaries are white supremacists.
It’s also colonialism.

. Black holes will be proven to not exist. And in the list of cosmological errors, that’s the most obvious one. [edit] What people are observing, at least for the “stellar sized black holes”, are UV/X-ray/Gamma ray stars, much like there are red stars and blue stars. [/edit]
. For what it implies, Star Trek is far more evil than Star Wars despite all the anti-war rhetoric and perpetual war of the latter, as the former implies “Marx was wrong, Fourier was right. We CAN have a socialist utopia quietly evolved from an empire that began as a group of slave owners on stolen land with the flag of an oligarchic spice and slave trade corporation, who decided that a small sales tax, where most countries have VAT, on a single good, one that turns hot water into a tasty drink, was theft and so they decided that “this means war” and called for independence. Then a few decades later they created a manifesto saying that half the continent and more is simply theirs because they’re so exceptional. The empire with the two-party system to ensure the purest form of kleptocracy, an ingenious way to silence dissent and perpetual struggle, moreso than any dictatorship empire has tried in the past.
The continuation of THIS empire, the empire of deception, is the one taking over the galaxy, destined to seize the entire universe because they’re so enlightened as said by one of the gods in the Star Trek universe.” And no, STD and Picard doesn’t do it any justice. Star Trek doesn’t tell why the Federation is or isn’t progressive. At least Star Wars explained how the Republic collapsed as a queen appointed a harebrained mudskipper to be her representitive in case she was absent, who then got manipulated into giving a tyrant unchecked power.There are many reasons why black holes exist and we’ve even imaged one via radio telescopes.
AI generated slop from scrubbed data are not images. One real image shows what clearly is a star.

The big hill in my neighborhood park.
-
Capital Hill
I don’t really know of any other hills or why I would be near them so if I die on a hill it will probably be one of these.

Rainy, damp, cloudy, windy weather is peak weather and beats a “nice sunny day” 80% of the time.
-
Ice cream is winter food and not summer food because of how fatty it is. Popsicles are summer food and not so appealing in the winter.

All countries should be making a 100% effort towards eliminating all meat (except that produced by subsistence farmers and the like) in their diets for the sake of the climate. Poverty is not an excuse because vegetarian diets use many many times less resources (which is why wealthy countries eat much more meat).
-
Large wealthy countries should provide free vitamin supplements worldwide to reduce diseases.

-Businesses should be run by people who are passionate about the giving a great product and/or service and not some shitty MBA who only except 10x return on his investment.
Congrats, you are a communist!
- ISO 8601 (e.g., 2025-05-23) are the only correct date formats.
- We should stop using time zones and daylight saving.
Stop using timezones? So every day would actually be two weekdays because at some random point in time it would switch date during the day. Let’s meet next Monday wouldn’t even specify a single day anymore in most countries. And there is no real benefit to stop using timezones, just downsides. Yes you’d know which time it is anywhere but you still wouldn’t know of they are awake or not and have to either look it up or remember it - the same you have to do now.
What aboutvRFC 3339? It’s technically different.
My hill: Laws that give “unnecessary” rights to people are still good overall and shouldn’t ever, EVER, be reversed. Laws that give “unnecessary” rights keep society stable and have come from past times soaked in blood. If you reverse 60-100 years of these gains, then society will collapse.

It is possible to crossdress/be gender non-conforming without being trans
I’ve never heard anyone suggest otherwise. Who are you having this argument with?
I was curious what they meant, too.
I have wondered if there is some mixing of non-stereotypical gender roles and gender identity. Like, if someone who grew up in the 90s and identified as a “tomboy” might consider themselves transmale or transmasculine if they grew up in the 2020s. But I don’t know enough to make any assumptions about this. Also it’s none of my business, really. It probably depends on the individual and how they see themselves.
(I do know JK Rowling has used a similar complaint in her TERFy ranting, which is why I tend to couch such curiosity in careful wording as best I am able.)
It’s not unusual to say something less controversial than what you wish you could say, so it tracks that someone who wants to say “I’m a boy” would say “I’m a girl who isn’t girly” in a time where the truth is presented as less of an option than it is today. It’s not that trans guys and tomboys are the same thing, it’s that the same label can be either true or a euphemism when applied to different people.
What gets me about the original post is it looks like it’s saying I as an unambiguously masculine man could wear a dress and be called ma’am by a stranger and when I respond “I get why you’d say that but I’m actually a man wearing a dress” then there’s an expectation the stranger might respond “don’t be ridiculous, that’s not a real thing. You’re obviously a trans woman.” I just don’t see this kind of scenario playing out.
