On a serious note, I will say that the only reason that Greg Ellis is getting fired is because it targeted White LGBT - and I say this as a Trans Brown Muslim.

Very little people cared for Greg Ellis’ racism or Islamophobia UNTIL he began tweeting about JKR
In a similar case, mainstream media really only started paying attention to JKR after her comments on Trans people - Bc it affected white gays - and not her years of Antisemitism or racism, this happens time and time again and it’s the most tiring and tedious cycle
Because to Brown and Black fans, our issues with popular celebrities will never matter until it targets whites as well.

I’ve already made a few posts about it, but the Dragon Age fandom removing Greg Ellis and in his place Adam Howden is not a move in the right direction.
Anders’ used to be voiced by Greg, but was replaced by Adam Howden for DA2, which a lot of fans have looked to being an improvement, despite Adam Howden’s racist and sexist comments in the past towards black women (including Isabela from DA2).
So, really what the masses will consider is how it will effect white gays, and not brown or black fans, our voices will very rarely ever be considered.

While I am happy that Greg Ellis is being yeeted, it only happened when he started being transphobic, and that is the truth.
