Why are so many english dub voice actors genuinely just horrible people?

So i watch some dubbed anime, mostly sub but it does happen if it exceeds the original, and one thing i noticed is that a lot of eng dub voice actors are genuinely just not good people. For example, vic migogna, the pedo kingpin of mid 2000's anime who people fight tooth and nail to defend. On a lighter note, karen strasman who is a trump support and genuine anti vaxxer kek. There was this other one who got arrested for CP, but i forgot who.

Japanese voice actors aren't exempt from this either, even though i'm sure we hear less of it because of japan covering shit up but also bakugo and rohan's va who cheated on their wives. And idk about other dubbing industries in other languages to speak about it. Lead in the texas water? Sensationalism? Language barriers? Let's discuss.

I don't think cheating on your wife/husband and possession of CP/pedophilia are on the same level...

Most dub va's are normal tho. There are exceptions in every line of work.

Oh yeah obviously not. I'm just using it as a general example of scummy people.

Maybe because people, in general, are just bad. This industry isn't exempt from that.

Anyone can be a horrible person. But with that being said, I'm more attached to a person's work than I am them as an individual. I mean, you only see parts of people's lives that they're willing to show on a screen. Unless they're a whole different breed and document every aspect of their lives, you can't expect everyone to be truthful about what they portray of themselves. Whether they are celebrities or everyday people. Even if it hasn't been Japanese voice actors, I've heard of some special people in the anime/ manga industry who have had dirt with them. Such as the author of Rurouni Kenshin and the one for Act Age (which I've never read).

I bet you asked this question since the news of Elliot (Tighnari's English VA), right?

Is this related to a genshitimpact va being exposed as a groomer and a paedophile ?

every human is horrible the more you get to know him, lionel messi was beloved in barcelona till we found out that he was idiot who only cared about money and now he's using his brother to insult barcelona and the club that made him famous. messi had the audacity to call to ask us for more money when his family lived in poverty in an argentinian slum before coming here, we also payed for his growth hormone treatment and we never ask his poor ass family for money, we gave him everything that barcelona has to offer, even prostitutes for his friends free of charge yet the idiot couldn't care less.
I say to you, just enjoy your anime and don't think about the voices behind the characters

The whole "Hollywood is a satanic pedophile ring" seemed like a nutjob conspiracy theory to me but after so many cases of degenerate behavior came to light, I'm not so sure anymore.

Pretty much this tbh. I don't think it's something inherent to their profession. Lots of people change when given money and status, the same goes for western entertainment industries. I don't get too attached to entertainers anyway because people will disappoint you if you put them up on a pedestal.

There are 1038 voice actors that have recorded in English dubs for Crunchyroll across 577 different titles. Shame a majority are genuinely bad people.

So like 5 out of multiple thousand people did something wrong and that makes all of them horrible now?

Ah yes, this is very timely. Should have asked this on the Casual Discussion board instead. Also, screw Tighnari's EN VA. This is why the Genshin Impact community is getting an undeservingly bad rep.

Tired of these forums spammed with people from ANN and reddit.  The west it is all about agenda, cancelling people, sense of moral superiority and them what they deserve. A lot of them openly attack their fans. JP seiyuus are grateful for any role and will never shown to be negative to fans.

Don't know, certainly I don't watch anime or play games so I would care about what the voice actors do irl
