Amazon's AI anime dubbing fiasco reminds us that voice actors are severely undervalued Amazon recently rolled out bad AI-generated dubs for several anime on Prime Video, demonstrating yet again that voice actors are undervalued.

While this article goes very rightly into the disrespect actors have faced in dubbing, underneath that is an entire ecosystem of abused and rushed freelancers doing the timecoding, adapting, directing, engineering, and mixing who Amazon also attempted to cut.

A black and white comic of the author talkin to themselves, they say “ahhh a new year, a fresh start”. They then look at the calendar in shock seeing it’s already May. “HUH? MAY??” they say. Then they say “that’s fine, I have the whole summer ahead of me!” They look at the calendar, now it’s September. “WHAT?! HUH?” They hold their head in their hands, despairing. “No, no, it’s okay, there’s still time” they look at the calendar which now says December and shriek “STOP!!” At it

Happy old year

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

PRO TIP

If you have YouTubers you like and follow and watch their videos a lot

leave innane/positive comments on their videos. The algo is all fucked up for YT creators and a lot of videos get sent to the void for whatever reason.

I hate doing it, but I've been trying to do it.

On the note of KLK posting, Ami Koshimizu was always my voiceclaim for Jess (my player character from the DND campaign we just wrapped up), so I decided to do some rough little animations of her with some of Ryuko's voice lines lol.

I'm a firm believer in "Everyone is entitled to their informed opinion.", but the informed part is key.

For media, that means they had to actually read the book, watch the movie or show, listen to the song/album, play the game, etc.

And the same rule applies to myself, too, obviously.

Panel 1: Titled "Average Yuri Plot Beginning", and it's a girl sitting on a stone wall at a park on a sunny day, shaded partially by the leaves of the tree above, saying "th-there's this girl ... and she's ... annoying." She's got brown hair with straight bangs, and is wearing a red-and-yellow dolphin-logo t-shirt and high-waisted jean shorts. Panel 2: Titled "Average Yuri Plot Middle", and it's a massive meteor colliding with the Earth, lava-filled cracks meandering from the point of impact and lava and smoke rising from around the meteor. Panel 3: Title "Average Yuri Plot Ending", and it's two simply-drawn girls (one of whom is the girl from the first panel) standing next to each other, smiling, and holding hands with dumb little blank expressions. Confetti is falling around them. The other girl has her dark brown hair in a messy bun, has purple eyes, and is in a red-and-white athletic tank-top, black tights, and red leg warmers.

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

yo, Cameo is doing a Black Friday 20% off sale, and it's coming out of their cut, which is cool of them, so now would be the perfect time to order a Cameo from me if you'd like one, sale ends December 2nd www.cameo.com/prozd

This shit is why I'm getting less and less work on anime and having to scramble to ask around with YouTubers for help letting me do their CCs just to pay my damn rent. There's enough anime to caption out there that I should not be fucking struggling.

ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME

I've wanted to dub this for YEARS. It's one of my pipe dream dubs to direct. Fuck off. FUCK off. Fuck OFF. FUCK OFF.

When your priority is racing to the bottom in terms of budget and turnaround, this is what you will be left with.

Why would I bother to compete with this as an artist? If this is all corporations are willing to invest in, and they want to use my work to train+create more, why work with corps?

Repeat after me:

You don't owe anything to family that impedes your peace and well-being for the sake of "holidays."

"Blood is thicker than water" doesn't mean shit if the blood is poisonous while the water nourishes, sustains life, and promotes growth.

Your chosen family is more than enough.

Applications close this Saturday. If you're looking to give a little for the holiday, a group of neat volunteers are offering a little treat in return.

86. MAGIC OF THE MUNDANE 2 (By @serenamidori.bsky.social ; 2019-2025)

Tonight marked the end of a six year homebrew 5e campaign.

This game single-handedly rekindled my love of tabletop, and although I'm sad to say goodbye I'll forever cherish what this story did for me and my desire to create.

Thank you @serenamidori.bsky.social for bringing me into your world.

‘We Can’t Afford to Stay’: Californians Weigh Drastic Moves as Health Premiums Rise | KQED Soaring health insurance costs are forcing some Californians to make tough choices — from dropping coverage to leaving the state or even the country — as federal subsidies expire and premiums surge.

"But then the issue of me being trans, [if I left the state], where would I go?"

I spoke with KQED about the increase of my healthcare costs by 60%, and how devastating it will be to my creative business.
