Both ends of your comparison are a woman reading a script, so gender isn't the variable, tone is

Yes that was my point actually - to show that the tone went from menacing to whimsical 😊

Audiance might make sense if this was only happening in WoW but it is every AAA studio, movies, advertisments etc. Virtually all media and entertainment all doing this at the same time. BioWare and multiple Disney flops is evidence that this is not market driven.

If the truth offends the fair I would rather be foul!
