I think the interview she did with Greg Miller about this is essential listening.
Laura is incredibly kind, so it's heartbreaking hearing how she has been dealing with this harassment.

not everyone should have social media, and this is exhibit A, B, C and fucking all the way Z. What disgusting behavior. Good on the people sending her positive messages to fight this.
Imagine being so obsessed with a fictional videogame character that you actualize a persona in your mind based upon nothing more than a voice and then direct real-life anger towards that thing. Like, how unstable, and utterly pathetic do you need to be? Gamers truly are the most frail branch of the species.
This shit is awful. Disgusting. I'm embarrassed to share an interest in games with pieces of shit like that.
I remember reading in the past that villains in UK soap operas would often get abuse hurled at them in the street because of the actions of the characters they play. I'll never understand the level of idiocy that'd make a person do that to an actor. What don't these fuckwipes get?

Fuck all of these people. So you dont like the character? So fucking what? Why are you harassing the actor for? This is literally what happened with Star Wars. Challenging story and fanboys throw a hissy fit and target the actors. Ugh.
Humanity continues to be fucking garbage. Do these people understand that it's a video game and these characters aren't real?
And especially to a person like Laura, who's genuinely one of the sweetest, kindest people around.

Jesus. It's a VIDEO GAME. I cannot even fathom writing such ill words towards someone because something happened in a game that upset them.
Laura's character was amazing.

They are the lowest of the low human beings, if you can even call them that. She was fantastic and helped make me love the character.
Social networks need to get fucking better at this. This is not an impossible problem. They need to get their shit together and stand up for women who get harassed like this.
You'd think more people would be aware that consumable media in practically every form is complete make-believe.... right? And you know... actors and stuff? Green screen? Mocap?
This is like the "historical records" from Galaxy Quest taken beyond ignorance into pure stupidity.

People are sending death threats to a voice actress in a video game?!?
WTF, I wanna believe these people are all under the age of 15 but sadly I doubt that's the case. So disgusting.
I can't imagine ever being mad enough at a piece of fiction to even tag the creator on social media and kindly let them know how disappointed I was, LET ALONE send fucking death threats to an actor. Aaargh, so fucking frustrating...
