Hideki Kamiya comments on the controversy with Bayonetta 3 actress: “Who criticized me was coward”

Bayonetta 3 has been available on the market since October 2022 and it was at this time that a certain controversy emerged and circulated throughout the internet after the actress of Bayonetta asking fans to boycott the third game.

Entering detail, the controversy came at the time when Hellena Taylor publicly reported that a low value was offered to return as Bayonetta’s voice. She said she received a $ 4,000 offer to voice the whole game.

However, after a while it was revealed that Platinumgames actually offered between $ 15,000 and $ 20,000, but Hellena Taylor required a six-digit amount, which was refused. Even after the refusal, Platinumgames offered a special appearance for $ 4,000, which Taylor also rejected.

Now, about 3 years after the events, Hideki Kamiya, creator of the game and screenwriter, spoke about the controversy involving the replacement of original voice actor Hellena Taylor by Jennifer Hale.

He expressed frustration with the public criticism he received, calling the “cowardly” detractors for erasing their comments without apologizing after the truth surfaced. Kamiya pointed out that he always apologizes when he misses, but does not do so when he believes he is right.

“I was flooded with hate messages, especially at X (former Twitter),” he explains. “And in Japan, when something like this happens with a public figure, it soon gains prominence in the media.”

“I was blocking nonstop, but I couldn’t handle it, the attacks came faster than I could ban. Even famous people turned against me.”

“You have to be a m3rda coward. Order apologize before erasing anything. Haven’t they made these public criticisms? So admit it publicly too and ask for forgiveness,” says Kamiya.

After the initial controversy, the criticism against Kamiya decreased when the details of the platinumgame offer were revealed. People who criticized him on social networks erased their posts, but did not publicly portray, which Kamiya lamented.

The case generated great repercussion, but the dust has dropped over time, and now Kamiya has decided to resurrect the case with a new video.
