  • The thing is, to us, what you can do to help is so obvious that it feels like we’re being asked how to breathe.

    Help your community, volunteer for a cause, don’t get involved in acts of hatred disguised as moralism or the defense of a national or ethnic identity, educate yourself by reading authors who are part of the minority you want to support, confront and accept the reality of privilege, etc.

    But also, often the question “How can I help?” masks the real question: “How can I be a hero to your people?”. So I suppose that before one ask how to help, one should first ask oneself “Do I really want to help?” and be honest about it.

    EDIT: Always relevant video about this



  • Nop! Not a single bit!

    I doesn’t fit the pronunciation rules of most latinamerican countries, not even Brazil. I mean, How do you “say” that? what sound does the X represents? It’s like “LatinEx”? That sounds so silly! Like a Kingdom Hearts Villain or something.

    If you want to be inclusive / non-binary, you better use “Latine” (La-ti-ne). That’s how the “inclusive language” works here.

    Although, I argue that “Latino” is OK either way, since you’re talking about the collective from “LATINO-America”.


  • That’s the question from which fucked up shit start to happen, but let’s take it at face value.

    In that case, you can look for a segment of the minority group that aligns with your ideals (because not all of us think the same way, we’re not a collective mind) and offer them your support.

    Do you encounter, say, Latinos who support Trump? Leave them alone and offer support to Latinos who are critical of Trump; We’ll know how to use your help to take actions that benefit all of us, including those who are “wrong.”

    But many voice actors from other languages don’t speak like “normal people, not even Japanese seiyuu.

    Going back to the example of Latin American dubbing, 90% of the time they speak in unnatural Spanish with a neutral accent that doesn’t match any of the Spanish-speaking regions, but it works within the CONTEXT of the scene. The remaining 10% is when they do speak according to a region (mostly Mexico cuz is the one with most prolific dubbing industry), and this is split between when it works and when it’s annoying af.

    I think that rather than feeling natural for the “real world,” it should feel natural within the world of the work.



  • I understand that feeling all too well. Do you really have no one by your side for those moments? It can be hard sometimes to tell the difference between perceived loneliness and “real” loneliness.

    As an example, when I was a teenager, many of the times I felt lonely, I was actually isolating myself so as not to bother anyone. So, whenever something bad happened to me, I didn’t have anyone to help me.
