Not a non-sequitor, it's a valid point. you literally proved him right. Good job.
Based and Sunfired-Pilled.
It felt like they put more focus on the casting than the character's personality. I'm a Chinese ESL myself and while I see why they made the choice I still don't think it was worth the trade off.
I do find it ironic to give Ada a Chinese accent because all it does is perpetuate the stereotype that all Asians have these "accents". There are plenty of first generation Asian immigrants in the U.S that does not have accents and those that do are often the result of trying to pronounciate English in their own native language.
They also never clarified Ada's actual nationality as Ada Wong was a pseudonym. Asian accents are different based on which country or even region of said country you are from. There are media in Japan that display "Chinese accents" in Japanese to clearly indicate their country of origin. Ada's voice in Japanese is still consistent to previous version of Ada. Only the English version of Ada Wong has a noticeably strong accent. If the JP version had an Chinese-Japanese accent then I would have believed it to be a design choice but it is not the case.
As a first generation immigrant who has lived in the United State for 19 year, Ada's VA comes off sounds more like a stereotype than a genuine representation of Asian Americans.
Pretending only white people are talented is actually suuuuper racist.
Even before all of this, consider that Ada Wong--if that's even her real name to begin with--is literally a female super spy who has likely mastered multiple languages as part of her skillset to begin with.
I bolded the part that proves that this is literally you shamelessly lying.
It was just silly 14 year old "lol panties!" humor that fit with the tone of the 2004 game but not the new one which is way more serious. Ada is still in a form fitting dress. Not like they put her in a parka.
The decision honestly came off as ironically racist to me. "Oh Ada Wong sounds Chinese so lets cast a person with a Chinese accent" despite the fact that there are plenty of Asian immigrants that do not have or have extremely faint accents.
Going through the Japanese version of the game only made me question Capcom's decision for the English version since the Japanese version continues to follow her original personality and has no noticeable accent. English version is the only version of her to have a strong noticeable accent and there are games where a Chinese character in Japanese game would have a strong "Chinese Japanese" accent but Ada was never one of them.
In the entire series the only character that I could reasonable see sounding like Ada now would be Fongling and even then its a stretch.
If I were dumb I would think you were a genius. Also it's hilarious to hear right wingers who think that history will remember them as anything other than wrong
I spent 20+ pages in another thread debating this guy and he failed to make one coherent point. He has proven many, many times that he has serious issues, just not here. But I can understand why I look like a clown to you. In fact, I am being a clown to some degree just by being here ^^
True, I need to do some self-reflection huh
