Legendary voice actor Jennifer Hale had been tapped to play Bayonetta in the upcoming title, and Taylor,
in a subsequent Twitter video from the same thread, said of Hale: “I wish her all the joy in the world, I wish her all the jobs, but she has no right to say she is the voice of Bayonetta. I created that voice.

She has no right to sign merchandise as Bayonetta.” This weirdly possessive remark was not widely noted by the mob Taylor had summoned up—perhaps it was politely ignored. Or perhaps it was heard all too well, because, as has been widely reported, Jennifer Hale was put under tremendous strain from angry and harassing comments on social media responding to Taylor’s allegations.

The rule was invoked to forestall the possibility of one of the firm’s lawyers speaking with a Madison Square Garden employee about the litigation against the Garden — the likelihood of which is infinitely small, in Hutcher’s view. The actor voices the fascist bureaucrat Podesta in Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio , which will debut in select theaters via Netflix in November, before moving to the streamer on December 9. Or perhaps it was heard all too well, because, as has been widely reported, Jennifer Hale was put under tremendous strain from angry and harassing comments on social media responding to Taylor’s allegations.

This was, in many ways, the inevitable result of a social media campaign. That prompted another letter, this time from Randy Mastro, a lawyer representing Madison Square Garden Entertainment. Such things almost always lead to harassment as the mob looks for someone to blame, an individual villain to scapegoat.

Clearly some of Taylor’s supporters found one in Hale, who, at any rate, is under an NDA and could not speak publicly about the affair in the way some were demanding (she has since put out a very even-handed statement ).S. “[I’m] so excited. It didn’t need to happen this way, but it’s just the latest in a long line of episodes in which people who want to do the right thing are weaponized for purposes that are far less noble.

One propulsive Twitter video got ahead of the important story, of which it was but one part. decided not to renew them and returned your deposit, as is M. In a social media atmosphere that demands timeliness of all its participants and bends us all to its conceit of instantaneous communication (including people like me who are lashed to the mast of its economy), there is enormous pressure to opine or respond immediately, and too many of us give in too quickly.
