So let's talk about that Erik character . . .

[Walrus Beard]

I saw someone saying this is a trans character. I was immediately suspicious, and I went to look up some English gameplay. Sure enough, the voice in English sounds very feminine. The voice actor is Casey Mongillo, a non-binary who uses they/them pronouns. Based on Casey's voice and appearance, I say this is a biological woman, and she was recruited to voice Erik because of course they have to shove their activism into everything. In Japanese, it is very obvious by the voice that Erik is male. He is a typical Japanese pretty boy. These characters are quite common in Japanese entertainment, and there is no agenda here on the part of the creators. My recommendation is to play this game in Japanese with subtitles. The original Japanese dub will always better capture the intentions of the creators, especially if you know a little bit of Japanese.

Edit: It is clear to me that a lot of people are not actually READING the original post before they comment. Keeping up with this thread is exhausting, and I grow tired of correcting those with low reading comprehension. I am unsubscribing from this discussion. Knock yourselves out.

Erick is indeed male, with girly looks. it's not new.

Then, why was voice actor trans then lol?

I was playing with the English dubbing and Erik was obviously a man despite his weird voice, no idea how anybody else could've thought different, get your eyes checked.

And for people who unironically thought he was "trans", get some help. You obviously aren't well.

Never thought they were trans, but I did think overall the character is insufferable.

He isn't trans at all lmao. Have you guys even paid attention to the story or read character backgrounds? I swear, both sides make the most outrageous claims to either berate or feel better about themselves.

Please actually go out and get real problems instead of getting yourself upset over a voice actor's identity

Why do you people hate trans people so much? I've never seen a reason other than that they're out of the ordinary. It really bothers me.

Federally designated 2 genders

The federal government also says that they want to ban pornography on a national level. So, are you behind that viewpoint as well?

Oh I'm not upset. I play with Japanese voices, so I don't have to worry about the English side of things. I was just putting this info out there for people who may have been confused about this character.

Considering how many Zoomers have gone out to say that porn completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up theirs views on love and romance, as well as sex addiction being heavily on the rise (as well as all the human trafficking involved) we are probably better off with closing the Pandora's box lol.

Consider the fact that what's classified as 'porn' is entirely arbitrary. That gacha game you play one-handed? Could be classed as porn!

This is a hard one. I agree that porn is bad, however, if the government bans it, that starts us down a slippery slope. What else will they ban "for the public good?" I think it is better if parents properly raise their children and people have self discipline.

This has been utterly hilarious but if you'll excuse me, I have better things to do than argue with people on the internet who are hunting down the wrong 1% of the population for sport.

Jesus Christ dude, Erik is just a guy. He's feminine but he's a guy, he's not trans just because he's feminine lol
