I have nothing to say about this fandom right now.

Yall are just....

I saw that tweet earlier as well. And it’s just this whole response is weird and is showing again the toxicity of the fandom on all sides.

Like hey I thought it would be Kotono too. But considering Cosmos is an incarnation of Usagi but not Usagi herself. Casting another VA actually makes sense since she’s not Usagi.

Not in a proper sense anyway. She’s an incarnation sure but she has her own history that arguably makes her own person separate and just casting Kotono feels weird.

I get Kotonos voicing ChibiChibi but there are arguments that can be made to make that make sense. While having Keiko in the role

Also some people are really shutting the door on interest from the fandom in future adaptions of any kind in animation if there were to ever be any with some of these comments.

And then you have people saying backhand shit like this

Which is so unnecessary.

Also the fact Naoko was in the room when Keiko was doing her lines.

So they exactly what they was doing.

It's make sense because Cosmos was never confirmed to be Usagi but just the future version of Sailor Moon.

We know Kotono is going to give an emotional performance as Usagi.

Why put more work on her?

crazy that in the 1970s they were like, "fine, women can play sports. but because they're innately less athletic than men, only in a special ghettoized League For The Frail And Delicate where they get paid less 😊". And not only is that still the system in 2023, but viciously lashing out at the smallest challenges to that system gets framed as Feminist Praxis

even setting aside the fact that gendered bodytype averages aren't universals, and plenty of individual (cis) women and (cis) men could easily go to toe to toe. have we considered that the fact that all the most prominent and well-paid sports are ones that require things like Being Tall and Having Muscle Mass, as opposed to, ex, gymnastics...is itself an artifact of sexism

Also consider the existence of sports where women would have an advantage, and yet, somehow, the most famous and well paid ones are not women.

I'm thinking of jockeys. Jockeys get an advantage from being smaller and lighter, and while obviously you need sufficient strength to stay on the horse, a well-trained horse does enough of the work that you don't need upper body strength to do the job. Given this and that the majority of children obsessed with horses are female, you'd think most jockeys would be women. Yet somehow they are not.

NASCAR at one point threatened to handicap Danica Patrick by putting extra weight in her car to compensate for the fact that she is smaller and lighter than other racecar drivers. If she gets an advantage as a driver, why is she like practically the only female racecar driver, or at least the only one anyone knows about?

Women, apparently, have an advantage in long distance swimming. Higher body fat percentage and higher endurance means that women can go greater distances in the water. Is long distance swimming even a competitive sport?

Women have actually been excluded from competitive Olympic skiing on the grounds that the jumps required could damage their uterus. The people who actually have unsupported reproductive organs hanging outside their body are considered to have better support than the people whose reproductive organs are nestled in alongside unisex organs like the small intestine and stomach. How does this make any goddamn sense at all? If a uterus could dislodge from the force of a skiing jump, so could intestines and the sport wouldn't be safe for anyone.

Theoretically, any sport where you get an advantage from low center of gravity, better balance, higher flexibility, or being closer to the ground, women should have an advantage. This should include soccer (football in non-US places), and might include hockey if the hockey players hadn't introduced unnecessary viciousness to the sport.

So in any sport where women would excel over men, they're either excluded, unfairly penalized, the sport doesn't exist, or the sport is considered unimportant and no one makes money on it. Hmm. I am thinking the problems here are not actually what the TERFs and transphobes make them out to be.
