  • I and many others with valid criticisms of the expansion, felt that the developers used a song at points where it thematically didn’t make sense. It had nothing to do with the genre of the song or ‘what it sounded like.’ But the voice actress had to make it political, and used a blanket statement alluding that everyone who criticised Smile were racists. You can’t make statements like that and not expect backlash, and not all backlash is hate speech just because she happens to be trans.

    I have no qualms in regards to her identity, I’ve only voiced my concerns because I think it was a strange casting choice to make the main character of an expansion that takes place in pseudo-SouthAmerica a non-hispanic/latina actress, particularly when the rest of the cast is, for the most part. But most of my criticisms are regarding the voice acting as a whole, as a native Spanish speaker, I felt like all the characters were lacking, not just Wuk Lamat.
