Final Fantasy 7's Aerith Asks You To Stop Sending Actors Smut
"Every now and then, I remember when lead Ken Levine asked fans to stop sending him porn of Elizabeth from BioShock Infinite because it felt like seeing NSFW pictures of a daughter. Smut artists have only gotten bolder in the years since, because they're sending this art directly to creators on various social media platforms. While some are down for it, Briana White, who voices in the , is not."
"White responded to a video on of Rei Ami, one of the vocalists from KPop Demon Hunters (and ), talking about how much smut she'd been exposed to of the titular demon-hunting trio. The voice of Zoey said it can be shocking but admitted to seeking some of it out herself. White responded, saying she doesn't want people to "normalize" tagging actors in pornographic art of their characters, and that those who do this have "forgotten the meaning of the word 'inappropriate'.""
""It's really a shame when [voice actors] want to interact with the people who love the characters on social media, but just a few creeps ruin it for everyone," White wrote. "It is a matter of consent," she continued elsewhere in the thread. "And it can be almost impossible to know what exactly is acceptable or not to an individual just from knowing their social media persona.""
Ken Levine once asked fans to stop sending pornographic images of Elizabeth from BioShock Infinite because it felt like seeing NSFW pictures of a daughter. Smut artists increasingly send explicit fan art directly to creators via social media. Briana White objected to being tagged in pornographic art of characters and urged against normalizing that behavior. White framed the issue as one of consent and warned that social media personas do not reliably indicate what an individual finds acceptable. Unsolicited sexual content sent to performers constitutes harassment and can make community interaction uncomfortable.
