Seems like the guy is a massive piece of shit. Net gain for BioWare and Dragon Age fans I'd say.

A lot of actors are trash people.

And I'm pretty sure Ellis was never going to be hired again anyway after breaking NDA on Inquisition.

The idiot just premiered an in-character Cullen video on YouTube talking about the "blight" of SJWs and cancel culture. I won't link it because he's a fucking knob but look at this shit:

Yeah I'm gonna guess that neither EA nor Bioware is ok with that.
If there ever was a case of me championing a major corporation stomping the shit of a little guy, and EA at that, it would be this one.
....
Then again EA did good when they stomped on the guy that was trademarking everything with Edge in it.

Good. Boot this transphobic piece of shit to the curb. This is my first time seeing this particular tweet since Ellis blocked me a while back even without me ever interacting with him or mentioning him, which is very telling.

Bioware is an absolute dumpster fire. Strange to think they once made some of my favorite games and now I have 0 expectations for anything they do.

I'm not sure what this has to do with a VA being a terrible human, unless you just read the thread title and that's it, thought "Well this is certainly Bioware being in the wrong somehow and I really need to let people know about my current dislike of Bioware." and proceeded to post.

It's always interesting watching someone go off the deep end completely. Like, how far past rationality does Ellis have to be not to realize what will happen to his career over this, or to realize and do it anyway?

Some people gotta spout their generic r/gaming style takes in any even remotely related thread.

Looking forward to seeing if EA does anything about this. Pretty sure he signed a couple of things at some point basically saying that character's voice is property of EA.

Don't understand why you'd say anything on public social media ever...

He's a JK Rowling sympathizer.

Also he apparently thinks mental illnesses aren't real.

I really hope Cullen is in the new game with a different VO, just to spite this dude.
How can mental illness be real if our brains arent real??!?!

Ha! That was first role that comes to mind for me too. That and Gentleman Ghost in BatB



Huh? Didn't he have that "episode" where he went missing because he had own mental issues?
I think he doesn't believe in taking medicine for mental illness, not that mental illness isn't real? I know there was an issue where he was encouraging his fans not to take medication at some non official convention

I'm guessing with how "mask off" he's being, he got kicked off of the next Dragon Age game and he blames Mark for that

Well that explains him not addressing his own then. This dude straight up disappeared for a few days back in, what, 2015? and I believe it was stated then he had a history of a mental health disorder.

BioWare has been so overtly liberal for so long, it's a shock he would pull this, but again: Not in his right mind.

The voice actor community seems like its own strange world - almost another planet. Always weird drama, shitty takes and strange shit going on.
I think it's the age bracket. Many of them are hitting or peaking conspiracy nut uncle age.

Such an impressionable period in one's life.

He can have his issues with identity politics at play in the industry (corps ultimately decide who they want to court as users) but this reads as a pretty pathetic grift to convert the more "disgruntled" segment of the fans of his voice work to his personal business.

The way he uses studio and brand names in his Youtube video title and description probably serves a bunch of purposes: SEO hits, telling viewers where to aim their pitchforks, and eventually making a martyr of himself once EA drops the hammer on this kind of use of their trademarks/IP/studio names.

The production value on that video is something, he really put the work in for his any % notch run

He's trying his damnest to bring attention to his show or whatever, so he's been making every possible inflammatory comment out there. His Twitter timeline is wild.

I could not be more glad that Darrah decided to drag him.

When you need to BioWare shitpost so hard you don't make it past the thread title.

I know he didn't have anything to do with how Cullen was written but man does this solidify my disdain for him.

As tiring as it is having people out themselves as idiots en masse, I'm glad it's happening so we can hopefully just get it over with.
