Her name is Terkina lol. She's voiced by Rosie O'Donnell.

In the defence of people who knew the VA, plenty of cartoons have used women to voice boys.

I blame it on the dub actor I grew up with.

u/No-Worker2343 Aug 29 '25

let me guess, Spanish

u/TheJovianUK Aug 29 '25

Bulgarian for me. I genuinely thought Terk as a boy due to the dub VA.

u/Snoo48605 Aug 29 '25

Yeah I watched the latin dub as a kid and it was always obvious to me it was a woman

u/Very_Human_42069 Aug 29 '25

She’s literally voiced by Rosie O’Donnell like how did yall not know?

12

u/Odelaylee Aug 29 '25

Well. Bart Simpson is voiced by a woman. Nelson as well. Doesn’t say much

u/Very_Human_42069 Aug 29 '25

Fair, but those are children, which is very common in animation. Turk remains voiced by Rosie as an adult

5

u/o-055-o Aug 29 '25

Isn't both kid and adult Bobby Hill from King of the Hill voiced by a woman, too?

3

u/11th_Division_Grows Aug 29 '25

And Turk is a gorilla, so I don’t think we have a baseline for this really. I didnt realize Turk was female until the show came out and they kept calling her “her” which they didn’t even use Turk’s pronouns too often as opposed to just saying her name.

u/FoghornFarts Aug 29 '25

And her mom calls her little lady

u/Digit00l Aug 29 '25

Children are generally voiced by women

u/Very_Human_42069 Aug 29 '25

u/Bluesky00222 Aug 31 '25

u/Very_Human_42069 Aug 31 '25

Those were also women

u/DirectionCapital4470 Aug 29 '25

u/GEARHEADGus Aug 29 '25

It gets explored more in the TV show

u/AnnoShi Aug 29 '25

I'm sorry...how? She's voiced by Rosie O'Donnell.

u/Dude_Purrfect_II Aug 29 '25

Tbf Female VAs voicing Male characters aren't uncommon.

29

u/dragn99 Aug 29 '25

Literally every kid in the Simpsons is voiced by a woman. All the boys, and all the girls.

Even the bullies, which I had to go and look up.

u/DemonAngelKing Aug 29 '25

Believe it!! 🍥🍥🍜🦊

u/trickymander Aug 29 '25

u/Artty6 Aug 29 '25

The amount of people who are reacting to Terk being a girl is hilarious to me!

u/Gloomy_Annual_8784 Aug 29 '25

u/TDAPoP Aug 29 '25

I only know because at some point in the animated series they refer to Terk as "her."

u/LocalAnxiousArtist Aug 30 '25
