So what’s the deal with that?

TFS is trying to go legit, but don't have the capital to secure rights to "A" material, so they dub obscure animes no one watched and try to get their fans to buy the dvds so they can keep growing.

Ahh, I gotcha. I think some of the TFS members are solid voice actors, Corinne, Nick, and Ben come to mind. Can’t say I see Scott doing much, his natural voice is very...grating?

I'm awaiting the rise of meta-trannies, who transition back to their old gender (though it's still being treated as their first time because fuck you bigot).

That's already a thing. They are frequently met with hostility from the trans community.

They used to make people live as their new gender for years before doing anything medically. Now they give testosterone to girls who are tomboys.

Until recently, the "gatekeeper" model of trans care was standard, and it meant that who could or could not change their bodies was ultimately up to therapists. Ray Blanchard, a retired sex researcher and psychologist in Toronto who was among the early clinicians advocating for sex reassignment surgery (now called gender confirmation surgery), said that when he started in the 1980s, patients had to live as their target gender for two years before medical intervention.

"They were required to supply documentation that showed they were actually living out in the community as the opposite sex and not just ordering pizza delivery and putting on a dress," Blanchard said. "By today's standard, that would be incredibly oppressive."

There have, however, been almost a dozen studies of looking at the rate of "desistance," among trans-identified kids—which, in this context, refers to cases in which trans kids eventually identify as their sex at birth. Cucknadian sex researcher James Cantor summarized those studies' findings in a blog post: "Despite the differences in country, culture, decade, and follow-up length and method, all the studies have come to a remarkably similar conclusion: Only very few trans-kids still want to transition by the time they are adults. Instead, they generally turn out to be regular gay or lesbian folks." The exact rate of desistance varied by study, but overall, they concluded that about 80 percent trans kids eventually identified as their sex at birth. Some trans activists and academics, however, argue that these studies are flawed, the patients surveyed weren't really transgender, and that mass desistance doesn't exist.

Silly de-transphobic bigots. And I guess they figure that dicks must be cut off before the owner can even get an erection.

Well, at least this one looks more interesting and memorable than their debut dub of that one shounenshit(?) show I can't even be bothered to look up its title. Guess it always comes down to fanservice.

And of course, because it's them, they need to rely on someone else's property because they can't come up with anything original themselves.

What start up animation studio is going to hire Internet nobodies as their flagship voice over?

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

A small and desparate one that wants a cut of that built-in fanbase pie?

[da PAC Nigguh]

Even then they still wouldn't hire Invisible Nigger.

Built in sure, substantial enough? Not sure. People not being lazy and autistically following TFS to a serious project? Laughable. Their audience is YouTube viewers. These fucks can't even be bothered to follow their Spoonys to other platforms.

You got it right. His Trunks voice was trash. Which is why this scene is so goddamn hilarious.

There was a panel where he admitted he didn't want to do something closer to the dub's version because it would be too hard on his voice, to which Lani and Taka called him out, pointing out they do raspy voices all the time.
