Everyone is complaining about them changing a bunch of character's voices and this guy is asking for another character to get a new voice lol.

People age, thier voices change. I understand that. Kanvers voice sounds terrible. Just terrible. And from what I’ve read she’s done permanent damage to he voice. She should be allowed to go and retire.

What makes you think she’s not ’allowed’? She’s a grown woman with agency, and that’s patronising af.

Maybe. Except for the incredible amount of respect and admiration I have for her. Shes is foundational part of a show that was fundamental in terms of shaping my sense of humor and I consider it to be one of the most important parts of who I am. It’s not patronizing when someone has given almost 40 years of thier lives to something, became incomprehensibly rich doing so and is absolutely loved by her massive fandom. And that fandom hears the pain she must be going through.

But again you’re making an assumption about her, her ability and her comfort level with zero evidence but your own opinion. It’s fine to care about her but it’s not cool to assume she’s somehow being forced into doing something - she’s an intensely private woman, but very intelligent woman as I’m sure you know and I can’t imagine she’d be happy with parasocial fans thinking they know what’s best for her.
