angela...
duck bastard
duck bastard
man, you know, I always did resonate with her
duck bastard
in hindsight, very obvious why
duck bastard
coincidentally, Angela is part of the reason why I'm so repulsed by the ~new and improved~ version of SH2
duck bastard
because in FAQs and interviews and shit, they smacktalk her voice acting
duck bastard
which instantly makes me 
duck bastard
like do you motherfuckers not understand why she speaks like she does
duck bastard
hisssss 
duck bastard
also, I agree with them, that track is phenomenal
duck bastard
aggressively coos over Laura's original VA
duck bastard
it's such a good job
duck bastard
and the fact that it's an actual little girl is even better
duck bastard
aggressively coos over fog mechanics too

Angela's ~improved~ voice sounds like a fucking anime character, it grosses me out tbh
son boy allowed
Her original portrayal was such a raw, unsettling portrait of an abuse survivor (if you can even call her a survivor) and it was perfect just the way it was.

I'm pretty sure my initial reaction to Angela's new voice was "what the fresh hell is this" and I do not want to recheck just to confirm
duck bastard
But yeah it is fucking spot on in the original and I never fail to feel aggressively protective of her with just about... everything she does
son boy allowed
Yeah I literally don't even like listening to the HD voices even to mock them.
son boy allowed
It makes me too angry.
It's Just Deca
Oh my god I
It's Just Deca
I tried playing with the new voices once and just could not.
It's Just Deca
tbh, the original voice actors were just right for the setting
duck bastard
I'm glad that the universal reaction to the new voice acting (that I've seen) is the equivalent of cats on top of a fridge hissing
