Japanese male voice actor and singer Noriaki Taniyama made inappropriate remarks yesterday (2020.04.23) on twitter, discriminating regionally and despising the virus. Today, he deleted the original tweet and apologized again. Public figures have done something wrong, apologies are deserved, and whether or not to choose to forgive is a personal matter. You can't force others to forgive, and you can't morally kidnap others to make them not forgive.
There are a lot of public figures who have done something wrong, and everyone will wait for him to come out and respond. After the response, there are usually two people on both sides, one is the person who supports him, and the other is the person who opposes him. This difference is mainly due to the different understanding of the "apology letter".
As someone in between, you shouldn't be brought into the mood by either side. In this case, screenshots of the tweets of the wrong remarks and tweets of apologies can already be searched, and no one (including himself) can prove how much sincerity the apology contains. Discuss things as they are, calm down, and feel for yourself. Taniyama Washiki did something wrong, and he apologized, because not forgiving was a personal choice.
When such a thing happens, the most innocent thing is the character voiced by Noriaki Taniyama, and I hope everyone can understand that he is him and the character is the character. There are many representative works by Taniyama Kiryu, such as "Song ☆ Prince's Highness" Shinoya Natsuki, "Attack on Titan" Jean Kirchstein, "Kuroko's Basketball" Tatsuya Ice Room, "Bunhao Wild Dog" Nakahara Nakaya, "JOJO's Wonderful Adventure Immortal Diamond" spray yuya and so on.
For a good anime, voice actors are one of its important components, but don't associate voice actors with characters. The virtue of the anime character does not represent the voice actor himself, and conversely, the virtue of the voice actor himself has nothing to do with the anime character. Anime characters who are changed from novels or manga, their personalities are given by the author, adhering to the concept of the original author. The voice actor is a "voice actor", who does not appear, but only wants voice effects. Voice actors can't be or represent an anime character even if they know a character better than the average person.
"Don't associate voice actors with characters!" When Takahiro Sakurai said this, everyone would think it was funny, but if you think about it, it actually makes a lot of sense. The performance of sound can only represent a kind of business ability, and the emotions and ideas of the performers during the work are derived from the original work. It is understandable to say that because the dubbing of this episode has someone's voice appearing, so it is not watched; but if it is annoying because the character is voiced by someone, it is too harsh. After all, paper people don't actively choose voice actors.
Finally, I would like to state once again that choosing or not to choose forgiveness is a matter of personal affairs, and no one should interfere with anyone, and I hope that everyone can have their own rational judgment. Second, don't associate voice actors with characters, after all, it's not a big deal to change voice actors for a certain role.
The above only represents a personal point of view, the source of the network, invasion and deletion apologize!
