women who would also do just fine in these roles pull their voices tight and scratchy for the "shithead little boy" sound because that's all they're hired to do, all they're told they *can* do if playing boys.
comment in response to post
men who do actually have these voices either instinctively, or are instructed to, shift their voices lower because they're supposed to sound "sexy" and sexy means "deep" because there's only one way for men to be sexy and it's by hyper-performing masculinity.

english voice acting has a massive fucking chasm where the niche of pretty, cute, and softspoken boys are supposed to be.
comment in response to post
and then you have characters like venti, who will inevitably be given "shithead little boy" voice in the english dub no matter how much elegance, charm, or sex appeal they're supposed to have, or if they're even supposed to read as a little boy rather than a *cute* boy.

if you have a character with a light and airy voice, they will either be played by a slapstick va or someone with a way deeper prototypical """sexy""" voice because anglophones don't realize that men with high pitched voices are sexy.

one of my favorite comedy tropes is the girl who positions herself as a love rival specifically to get a front row seat for the yaoi. it's like the opposite of comphet. pretending to be straight to get your fujo on.

this is also distinct from people who just straight up make pre-established characters *into* ocs. like they're completely recognizeable as the characters in the thing they're from, and the artist hasn't divorced them from the source material. it's just that you've never in your life heard of it.
comment in response to post
i think everyone should just act like their ocs are pre-established characters in something. come up with a ship name for them. start posting fanart of your own characters. be crazy.

just absolutely angry, pissed off omegas who are ready to jump an alpha and pin them down to use them like a piece of meat, while also biting and clawing the shit out of them. will smell an alpha and kabedon them and grope their junk.

get revived and say thank you to yue wuhuan for existing!!!

multiple, this is a pretty chronic issue in fandom where people sort of overwrite transfeminine characters existing and refuse to acknowledge them. this was prompted by tsubaki from windbreaker, though, who people seem to really struggle with acknowledging is very clearly a trans woman.
