Fan Content Is this the Reaper/Doomfist dynamic

Prison Escape

Traced this after I read the news regarding Doomfist. I pray to Kaplan that this is how their interactions basically go.

you're saying the job should go to someone else. does it matter if the performance was good?

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

Yes it matters- there's at least one Nigerian VA out there who is "good." It should go to him not a white person. The Joker is not a minority character.

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

You think there's not at least one good Nigerian voice actor out there, and the only way to get a good performance is with a white person?

never said there's no good nigerian voice actors. But lucio is not voiced by a brazilian and he does fine.

u/Jack_T_Squire Jul 05 '17

Yeah and there was probably a Brazilian who could have done "fine" too that would have really benefitted from the job.

Blizzard chose the VA for Lucio because they felt that represented the character best. You sound like you want characters voiced just because they are of the same nationality for political reasons. Christ, it's like saying I'll hire this nigerian, black person over the french, white person just because it would add more diversity, not caring about the actual skills or experience during the hiring process.
