Lily Gao being harassed! Please just stop it!

[🪻🧋Sylvie💮🍃]

This needs to be stopped with harassment! Somehow, Lily Gao, a voice actress who played as Ada Wong in RE4 Remake received a lot of hateful comments which she deleted most of her posts on Instagram. Please remember that she tried her best to portray Ada Wong as best as possible, even though she appeared as Ada Wong in RE: Welcome to Raccoon City movie. Please remember to be respectful.

Not the best VA I've heard in a video game, but no actor/actress deserves harassment for agreeing to be paid to perform by an entertainment company.

If they're going to harass someone, they should go after Capcom itself for making the game the way they did (especially Remake Ada's personality/scripted lines).

I mean seriously! What's wrong with RE community? What's the point of attacking Lily Gao, even though not only she was under contract with CAPCOM, but she also tried her best to portray Ada Wong as best as possible.

Weird that so many people are bothered by this. Also weird how her response was to start educating people about white privilege. Keep politics out of my games.

The Twitter posts says she deleted her Instagram posts, so going to say this isn't the entire RE community going after her (you and I are in the RE community, aren't we?).

not just the re community, we're talking about general humans here

Clearly capcom was fine with her. Harassing her is not okay. End of capcom thought her performance was fine so they used the files. Ultimately i'd say blame capcom but don't harass them either. Yes her performance wasn't great for the role. Move on.

There's no excuse for harassment, but I do agree that firing back with "white privilege!" is probably not the smartest move, either.

Like, why does it have to be a race thing to begin with? What happened to basic human compassion and decency?

i dont like adas new VO, but damn, harassing a person because of that is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ braindead. some people shouldn't be on the internet.

[Steel]

Her performance sucked, it was not good. Often times with ♥♥♥♥ like this people (not necessarily the subject) will look at things like death threats and personal hate messages and then try to use that and claim that ALL criticism is unwarranted and that people should stop pointing it out. But no, I'll keep saying it, she didn't do a great job.

[DeadSlash]

Tbh, when you fire back with "white privilege" it makes me wonder if there was even much "hate speech" that was even deleted, or one or 2 people trolled her and now she is "Smoletting" this whole thing.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that people can't see Capcom is the one solely responsible for any grievances people have with the voice acting.

Not only that, but the people in charge can effect performance too. Mark Walberg isn't a particularly bad actor. But with M. Night Shyamalan in charge of directing Mark's performance in The Happening was super awful. Or M. Night Shyamalan with After Earth and both the Smiths.

Yeah literally, I was about to say no one deserves being harassed till i saw that obnoxious image about white privilege she posted then changed my mind immediately.

Pure Bait Threat that Ignores reality, DO NOT FEED

[Gerfreckle]

It was a very bad VA performance but whether the blame lies with her or with Capcom for writing and directing the performance that way is uncertain. But either way it's certainly no reason to harass anyone in real life, that's just ridiculous.
