Recently, a voice actor named SungWon Cho, a.k.a. ProZD, made a big deal about leaving Twitter because he was taking a lot of heat for accepting a role that violates his earlier position in favor of “authentic casting,” i.e. the restriction of voice acting roles to actors who share the same ethnicity or protected group status as the character.
Everyone and his dog is calling ProZD a hypocrite. But, as far as I’ve seen, only Eric July has grabbed onto the very important point that hypocrite isn’t an insult to someone whose ideology is hypocritical at its base.
