2:52 it's so jarring hearing those words spoken im a fantasy setting. I think it's worse coming from an established character. I know who Isabella is, i know she belongs in this fantasy world that is separate from reality so to hear her say words that are not only modern but are linked to current day politics is so immersion breaking. These people cannot help themselves. Their "identity" and their politics have consumed them to the point they cannot write fiction anymore.

Well all of that crap is fantasy already, just where it's popular to act it out in person and make everyone around you pretend it's all really real. But still, it feels like one of those low effort skyrim mods where they just slap some lightsabers or something in the game. Mixing 2 forms of fantasy together is possible, it just takes a little bit of creativity and effort, neither of which is generally abundunt in these circles.

[@billbombshiggy9254]

Exactly. I have a really deep voice for a female (if you check the videos I've uploaded, it doesn't sound deep because I'm so insecure that I pitch up on purpose in public. Around family, or answering the phone, I don't sound like that.) My voice alone (if you looked at me or saw the voice coming out of me, you'd not question. You'd know "that's a woman") has been confused for male MANY times since I was a teenager, but more so as I've gotten older because the female voice naturally depends with age (also I smoke cigarettes. So amplify the deepening there.) I get called SIR, and then they see my name or sometimes I correct, they say sorry, I say "eh, it happens. No worries. I know what I sound like" and the day moves on. I'm not out there forcing people to self flagellate for their error.
