    I mean, yeah, Amazon’s relationship with Trump is far too cozy… however, in this case, I think it’s more likely that Amazon was just trying to cheap out by using AI (and possibly test/showcase their use of the tech) rather than them actively deciding to cut out LGBTQ+ voice actors.

    FTA:

    As giant tech corporations try to jam AI into every possible orifice in the world, we are consistently getting new examples day in and day out of that going poorly. This week, that’s Amazon Prime Video introducing dubs to the beloved anime Banana Fish, which has needed them for a long while. The problem? They’re AI. Not just AI, horrible AI.

    Had this decision been based in bigotry, I would imagine that they wouldn’t have bothered with the dub at all.
