In a third and final video, Taylor explained that she was asked to re-audition for the role, noting that this was understandable given that voices change over time. The source is literally HER.

That’s what NDAs are FOR, and why Taylor violating hers is a big no-no. You get blacklisted for that. Even if you’re 100% in the right, there were ways of stating her case without violating the terms of her contract.
Folks digging up Taylor’s previous social media posts does have me shaking my head. Oof. Everyone’s entitled to their opinions, and workers deserve fair wages, but I’m still disappointed in her.
We don’t know the full story, which is what’s the big issue. Voicing Bayonetta once every 4 years can’t be sustainable, and we don’t know how big the role even is. They could have wanted her to voice just the “OG Bayonetta”, who has 20 minutes before pulling a Metal Gear Solid 2 and switching protagonists, for all we…
I can stand by her statement. She has done a crap-ton for voice worker rights. You can find her interviews over decades of fighting for VA rights, the right for residuals from game sales, of joining others in striking, etc. She’s not new to this industry, and her advocacy goes back longer than most people posting here…
Hale’s advocacy for VA worker rights can literally speak for itself. She’s been a staunch supporter of fighting for fair pay and protecting voice actors across the board. She absolutely doesn’t need the work, and there’s no way they’re paying her peanuts, and I can’t see any reason why they would tell her the…
That’s why there’s more to the story than just one side. You don’t “cheap out” when you go with Jennifer Hale. Her resume is massive. She’s more experienced. She’d cost much more.
I don’t know the whole truth - and we may never know the full truth - but roles get recast for a variety of reasons. Rights disputes, payment issues, unavailability, personal issues. David Hayter wasn’t replaced in MGS5 because he was too expensive, for instance, and I struggle to think that Jennifer Hale - whom…
Is it necessary? No. But you don’t have to buy it.
When the issues are this important, “not taking a stand” is ABSOLUTELY taking a stand.

It’s always friggin’ old white guys, isn’t it?
Yep. My Gameshark put her in my party against the final Sephiroth battle. Huzzah!
The question remains: will Twitter get better or worse after this?
Well, the natural law of entropy isn’t a good sign.
Bro!
The police there have been called over 10 times in two months about their behavior.
They’re beyond “they need help”.
The people in Hilo are chill. They’ve been complaining about his behavior for over a month.
