💼 Careercow Jamie Lynn Marchi / Jamie Perez / marchimark / She Devil - Wants Vic's head and balls, but not his papers; Cucked by a Chicken Sandwich


A recently resurfaced recording shows Funimation voice actor and script writer Jamie Marchi disingenuously attributing criticism of the studio’s questionable dub scripts to outright misogyny.

The clip, resurfaced by Twitter user @SlaveOfSuzumiya, was originally recorded during the Women of My Hero Academia panel at the 2018 Summer SacAnime convention and features Marchi (Mount Lady) alongside fellow series VAs Caitlin Glass (Mina Ashido) , Monica Rial (Tsyu Asui), Morgan Berry (Thirteen) & Trina Nishimura (Kyoka Jiro).


In their tweet featuring the clip, @SlaveOfSuzumiya praised Marchi and stated that they “wouldn’t have the guts to just lay it out there followed by a mic drop”.


In response to the clip, Marchi herself replied that “I think the only reason I have guts is because I didn’t have any other choice.”

In the specific clip, a fan approaches the panel to ask Marchi specifically on her thoughts regarding how “Funimation has come under criticism for how they choose to adapt their scripts for a couple of shows” and after expressing how he personally feels that “a lot of that I feel is directed at you unfairly,” asks Marchi if she would “like to respond to that kind of criticism?”

After first dismissing the dub criticism as “unnecessary hate,” Marchi asserts that these scripts only receive backlash due to her gender, stating “I have a vagina. Deal with it.”

“Honestly, that’s the truth,” said Marchi. “I am a funny woman. We are all talented, funny, powerful women. We are out here. It is going to happen. Deal with it.”


Marchi adds to her response by painting her critics as sexually frustrated ‘incels’, telling them “I’m sorry you’re not getting laid, it’s not about you, move on.”

“That’s my reaction,” the actress concludes.


After her initial response to @SlaveOfSuzumiya, Marchi would proceed to discuss the criticism she has received during her time as a script writer for Funimation, beginning by stating, “When gamergaters attacked me over a line in Prison School that I neither wrote nor directed, my career as I knew it was over.”

She then recalled how “everything I wrote was gone over with a find toothed comb looking for any changes that could be twisted to an ‘agenda’ I never had.”

Marchi then lamented how “the days of adapting for shows like Panty and Stocking, Hetalia, Spice and Wolf, and others were gone,” as “there seems to be little complaints with shows I wrote before Prison School came out.”

However, Marchi failed to either mention or recall that anime fans were not outraged at a necessary localization in Prison School, but rather a ham-fisted and poorly-aged reference to the GamerGate controversy.

“I receive relentless hate for a handful of lines I wrote years ago,” said Marchi. “Overall, that’s less than 1% of the lines I have ever written while adapting scripts for anime. Statistically, their complaints should be a compliment. 99% is a pretty high approval rating.”

“Instead,” Marchi stated, “I am relentlessly criticized. If you follow anime, you’ve seen the memes with the changes I’ve made for adaptation. And while there has been some support, I’ve been generally left to deal with the harassment alone. It’s been ‘my’ problem.”

Marchi explained that “it had also been made clear to me that if I did stand up for myself and refused to take the harassment like a good girl, I would no longer have a job.”

She also noted how “the harassment grew” because she “was in a show that used the term “SJW”, referencing a widely-panned edit in the English dub of Interviews With Monster Girls.

The voice actress clarified that she “did not write or direct that show” but stated that she “was the one who received death threats” and “was the one targeted in a continued public campaign of harassment.”

“And again, I was left to deal with it alone,” Marchi continued. “”Don’t feed the trolls” right? Yet, my silence never silenced them or prevented them from telling me to kill myself.”


According to Marchi, her “silence has only ever empowered” her critics, which she points to as a reason for “why I’m so loud, why I fight back, why I scream my opinion.”

“It’s because I have to. Otherwise, I won’t be heard,” said Marchi.

She then noted that she would not “let monsters online and certain elements of the industry make me feel like my voice isn’t worthy of being heard.”

Marchi’s lengthy thread concluded with the voice actress giving thanks “to those who have been supportive,” as they “kept me from feeling completely abandoned.”

I never expected @CatParty to post here.
EDIT: Ah. The article was moved from A&H to here.
Fair enough.

While John Burgmeier is indeed a man, Jad Saxton is a woman, as is Kristen McGuire. Not very feminist to give all credit to the penises, Jamie.



If this was LA, sure. Funimation (and I'm assuming Sentai) over in Texas aren't unionized, which means the company gets to rape their voice actors with low wages.
Kirsten McGuire actually gave a defensive reasoning behind the line in an interview about the show's dub (read the comments section):

So, basically, she wrote it because she thought that's how some dumb teenage girls would react to someone criticizing their bullying. Eh Better reasoning than lol vagina. For my part that particular line didn't really bother me.

I generally like her scripts, so I can believe it. She also pointedly hasn't commented on the Vic saga, as far as I know.

She did used to date Shane. But then again the breakup apparently wasn't a happy one.

NO NO NO. YOU'RE NOT ADAPTING YOU'RE TRANSLATING. FOR FUCKS SAKE THATS NOT HOW THAT WORKS
It especially doesn't work when you use that power to take pot shots at a group of people everyone likes to label as a hate group because they fought to get some integrity into games journalism because it was rife with corruption and biased reviews and articles and found out that at the root of it was some danger haired whore who took in a whole lot of dick for clout and was using her connections for achievements and recognition she absolutely did not deserve.

Of course people who were pro gamer gate are gonna get mad. You straight up got a character in an anime and the voice actress who voiced that character to make a pointed jab at them. It'd be like if you got Joseph Joestar to call Dio a Trump Supporter just because he's a bad guy. It's dumb and that shit needs to be left out of anime. Translate it while keeping it as true to the original source as you can. THAT's what that job is supposed to do. Want to make a pop culture reference for the younger viewers? Keep it to something generalized and more recognizable. I bet a good chunk of people who heard that retarded line sat there and thought "what the fuck is gamergate?"

Honestly, this reasoning is kinda crappy in my opinion.

If these girls wanted to make fun of the other girl who was chastising their bullying wouldn't they be more in line with just calling her a "boring goody-goody" or something along those lines? I'm not gonna pretend to be an expert on what Japanese teenage girls use for insults involving one another, but them unironically using SJW publicly like that makes them look even more pathetic but not portrayed in the way it's meant to be seen.

I hardly believe that they couldn't call the girl anything else for an insult regardless of internet they have, there are many insults at your disposal and some which would be far more effective despite what teenagers say or your job to translate into something more palatable for a Western audience.

Only thing I can say is that while it's cringe, it won't ever beat "Those pesky patriarchal standards" of Dragon Maid, the aforementioned "GaMeRgAtE Dumbass" Prison School, or My Girlfriend "Another win for you SJWS" is a Gal lines of infamy that are much more notable.

She should kill herself, obviously. This would end all her problems.

I can't believe this absolutely insufferable cunt thinking that her job is "writing" when it was translating the writings of others. And that she doesn't even understand the concept that literally writing over the writing of the original artists is essentially vandalism.

Even if you keep in mind the idea that some things need to be altered for either language reasons, or cultural reasons, or whatever, so that it makes more sense wherever you're localizing it. There are good and bad ways to do that. Shin-chan showed a decent way of doing it. Even putting in a few pop culture references. And we know they weren't in the original. There was an episode that had a John Cena joke. The original airing was before the guy was a wrestler. (And I give it a little credit for being one of the few references that will take a very long time to become dated). A bad way to do it, is to insert your own political views, when they're not needed, don't help convey the scene and intention any better than it already was, and largely don't fit the characters. Which is mostly the problem with Marchi's writing. She has no fucking clue how to keep characters consistent when it comes to this shit.

She fairly openly does it just out of pure contempt for the fans. She hates the people who watch anime and deliberately did it just to shit in their face and taunt them about it. This is pure Funimation behavior, a major reason that company is utterly loathed and despised.

I encourage everyone I know to sidestep anything Funimation related. And I certainly hope that Japan realizes they don't need these localization companies anymore.

TOEI or whomever could hire English VAs themselves if they want something localized.
