"Resident Evil 4: Remake", which recently became a Steam topic game, has become a little more popular.
Ida Wang's English-language voice actress Lily Gao was forced to delete most of her posts on INS because of the harassment of online violence.
Speaking of the bowl of cold rice of the Biochemical 4 remake, the popular character Ida King in the past is almost impossible to find this person in this work.
Most of the voices of discussion are focused on the new version of Ashley.
She attracted a bunch of LSPs when she first appeared in the trailer, and within two days of the game's release, various Ashley mods filled the gaming community.
Who is King Ida? It's really unfamiliar.
You can't blame players for liking the new and disgusting the old, after all, King Ida has too few scenes in this work, and the character and dubbing are also quite criticized.
Someone on the extranet sorted out the English dubbing of the previous generations of King Ida, and listened to it all the way, the first few still had their own merits, and once they reached the last two, they suddenly pulled their crotches.
One of them is the linkage version of "Dead by Daylight", Ida, and the other is the British dubbing of this "Biochemical 4 Remake".
The voice of the British dubbing is considered by many players to be inconsistent with the image of King Ida, but it has become an excellent case of crushing the English dub.
Sorry Aunt Wang, it really can't work this time.
The English voice actor of "Resident Evil 4 Remake" is Gao Lili mentioned at the beginning of the article, who is also the actor of King Ida in the movie "Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City".
But let's do it... Judging from the evaluation of the movie, the audience and fans feel that she and the role of King Ida are not very suitable.
In the game, the problem is even more serious.
Many players were dissatisfied with her voice acting, and wondered why Capcom asked her to replace Jolene Andersen, who voiced King Ida in Biochemical 2 Remake.
But we also know that voice actors are just one part of the game's production, they just get the job done according to the requirements of the client.
If there is a problem with the dubbing, it should be Capcom who is really responsible for it.
Obviously, not everyone knows this, and not everyone can distinguish between reasonable criticism and harassment of online violence.
After the game's release, online criticism of King Ida's heroic dubbing continued to flow.
Although many players only reasonably expressed their dissatisfaction, many people harassed voice actress Gao Lili herself on social media, bluntly saying that her voice acting ruined the game.
Most of her posts on INS were filled with offensive comments from these people until she was forced to empty her account.
It is true that Lily Gao's voice performance in the game is not satisfactory to most people, and players should also have the right to criticize.
But criticism is by no means harassing the actor himself, nor is it using online violence, these behaviors are obviously out of line.
This scene can't help but remind people of the experience of Abby's actor in "The Last of Us 2".
A little acquaintance with The Last of Us 2 shows that this is a work with polarizing reviews.
And Abby, who killed the protagonist of the previous game and acted as the villain in this work, naturally became a catharsis for many players' emotions.
Abby's face model Jocelyn Mettler, voice actress Laura Bailey, and others have all been angrily cursed and attacked by players.
Not only games, but also examples of actors being harassed and raped online because of their roles and works.
Teacher Li Mingqi played Grandma Rong in "Huan Zhu Gege", because her acting skills are too good and too much like a bad person, and she has also suffered a lot of verbal violence.
Characters should not rise to the level of the actors themselves, nor should they be punching bags for audiences and fans.
But just when I wanted to boil this down to another brainless online violence, things began to go in a direction that wasn't quite right.
Well-known game blogger Suzi Hunter was once amused by King Ida's English dubbing in the trailer, and the video was very popular overseas, which brought a lot of criticism to the voice actors.
After Gao Lili was forced to clear her social media due to online violence, Suzi Hunter also came out to support her.
She believes that she should express her views and preferences reasonably, rather than using online violence as she does now.
Lily Gao's experience has aroused the sympathy of many people, and because of this, some people also regard Suzi Hunter as an accomplice of online violence.
If Suzi Hunter hadn't expressed her opinion and hadn't laughed out loud because of this dubbing, perhaps the online violence that Lily Gao suffered would not have been so serious.
But in good conscience, isn't this video a very ordinary expression?
Because of dissatisfaction with the role performance, online violence harasses the actor himself, which is an extreme.
It is pitiful to be raped online, so denying the actor's low-level performance is another extreme.
Online violence is wrong, so you can't even have the right to criticize and express, which is another extreme overkill.
There is such a passage of unknown origin:
If sharp criticism disappears altogether, mild criticism will become harsh.
If moderate criticism is not allowed, silence will be considered ill-intentioned.
If silence is no longer allowed, it would be a crime to praise not working hard enough.
Whether it is an extreme online abuser or an anti-Internet abuser who is so extreme that there is no room for criticism, I am afraid that it is not what we want to see.
