I've seen people say that because of Vice's VA that they're boycotting by not watching Revice or purchasing any items from it, but that's...not going to change anything at all. For multiple reasons.

Japan's more lax over this idiocy than places in the West. On-top of that, with how overboard Western fandoms and group get when it comes to instilling their own views and expectations onto JP professionals and groups when they're, yes I know, two different cultures has reached a point where most JP companies, creators, groups, etc. aren't gonna listen anyway. Why would you when all it does it blow things into cancel culture controversy? Even if something like this should be addressed.

Secondly, western fans boycotting anything will literally have no effect on anything. If you don't watch, you're not effecting anything. We have to torrent and pirate these shows to watch them as they air, it's not like Toei gets revenue from that. As for not buying products, we don't even make up that much of a sales percentage as JP consumers do. And even then, not buying anything only ends up damaging the success of the franchise internationally anyway. So there's no winner there.

I'm watching Revice for the characters, not the voice behind one of them. The best I can hope for is that Toei actually takes what backlash they do end up seeing to heart and swaps out VOs at some point. Easier than recasting an on-screen actor at least.
