I definitely support re-adding it in its original form.

It was probably deleted because of the "legal, yet teenage" remark, which is a very creepy thing to say. But yeah, the original version of it should be fine to put back up.

It may be worth mentioning that the character's VA is also trans. Based on the parenthetical part, I would guess that the part about the VA's age was supposed to highlight that she is of a similar age to her character as part of a broader point about Actor-Shared Background, but the way it's phrased just comes off as a non sequitur. Even taking Actor-Shared Background into account, I hardly see how it's relevant to Author's Saving Throw — it's not like casting adult VAs as children or teens is something that gets criticized.

Alright, I re-added the original entry. I did tweak the wording a bit to concede that the transphobia was probably unintentional, and add that the voice actress is trans. The "legal yet teenage" part was just really clumsy writing and it distracted from the point of the entry.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
