To those who don't know Parler is a fringe right-wing social media platform blowing up of late because the right can't admit Trump lost.

James Arnold Taylor, a well known video game and animation voice actor of Ratchet in the Ratchet & Clank games, Tidus in Final Fantasy X, and Obi-Wan in all Star Wars animation and video games media joined the platform and is posting some really vile alt-right nonsense:

JAT has responded. Apparently he doesn't understand what slander is. These are his own words from his own Parler (again a right-wing racist website):

Oh for the love of shit.

Guess that's another recast in the works now.

EDIT - It's probably too late to recast him in Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart but for anything else yeah they should recast him.

I used to be subscribed to his YouTube channel. Think he's like hardcore Christian conservative. Surprised it took this long for something to come out.

There's something about Covid that reveals where a persons priorities and morals lie. This sucks, but if they want to go out like this then fuck them and thanks for letting us know.

Parlor is doing a wonderful job of creating a depository of assholes I know to avoid.

It really is a solid way to raise a red flag

Before there was always the "oh it was a misclick" or "I misunderstood" excuse to fall back on, now they have to actively sign up to a site that's pretty obviously catering to a specific crowd

also means they handily stop infecting innocent minds on more neutral sites, too. Win-win.

But yeah these new revelations suck. At the very least, he and Quinton were pretty much in the "old guard" of voice acting at this point and there are more than enough newcomers who aren't stuck in the past. I follow a few on Twitter that are more than a little left-leaning.
