Default Re: Voice Acting and Transgender Question

I think in both cases, being ok with people voicing characters of the opposite gender and not being ok with people who are transgender, both go back to ignorance

most of the time when the average person is watching/listening to anything with voice acting in it, they don't have any fucking idea about the gender of the voice actor, and likely don't give a shit. The people that do know, they view it as a way of making money; its not even imitation, its acting (though I admit that I am skipping a step here). Its not stigmatized at all for whatever reason(s) for someone to act as someone of the opposite sex in most places, though it is far more common in voice acting than in traditional acting.

people who aren't ok with people who are transgender could have any number of reasons for their opinion.
