So I’m sure you’ve probably heard by now, Tighnari’s English VA turned out to be… worse then Albert. I’m not gonna say what he did here, you can search it up but be warned, it’s not good. Tighnari deserves a new VA, and even if you hate him and/or lost your 50/50 to him, I’m sure you agree. Something that I’ve struggled with in the past but have been practicing lately, especially with this, is separating the characters from the VAs. I think it’s because of the voice actors that interact with the community a lot and produce fan content (WHICH I LOVE BTW) that it’s hard for me. However, I do realize that Elliot is not Tighnari, and that tighnari deserves better. My heart goes out to everyone hurt by this situation, but especially the victims and Cy Yu, (Cyno’s VA) who considered Elliot one of his good friends. The worst part is, Cy Yu was in the hospital when this all went down. Imagine you’re in the hospital, and then find out that your good friend is… well.. Albert. Many of the other voice actors have spoken out about this, have taken down all content with him involved, and the voice acting manager (I think it might have been someone else) said that he emailed Hoyoverse and is trying to get a new VA ASAP. All tighnari mains and lovers, try to remember that he is not his voice actor, and if you don’t like hearing his voice, you can always switch languages until he gets a new English voice. A similar thing happened with Oz’s Chinese VA, who was replaced. I have no doubt it won’t be long before we hear a new VA for Tighnari. This was a hard pill for me to swallow when I first heard, as I loved watching him and Cy Yu interact, and he seemed genuinely nice. Ofc, now I hate him, but it was hard to believe at first. I hope you all are handling this ok, and one more time: TIGHNARI IS NOT HIS VOICE ACTOR. Tighnari deserves better. -Roach <3
