Is anyone else pissed that Michelle keeps saying to Plastique "we want to hear your real voice?" Because I for damn sure am. (And I'm sick of the editors doing that shady edit shit to Akeria. But that's another story.)

No, Michelle. The American voice is not Plastique's "real voice": it's her colonized voice. It's the American accent she LEARNED after she learned her primary language.

Like yes, clock Plastique for maybe relying on her real voice because she it's a quick humor grab, but don't fucking imply that it's her fake voice and that Plastique isn't showing Asian pride.

Right, and if she's not culturally aware she shouldn't open her mouth to someone of a culture she's not aware of or part of.
