The misuse of the M4A tag is a huge issue within the ASMR community, but the one that mainly comes to my mind, is scythe audio. Now before I continue, two things: one, this is my opinion; two, this is out of the people that I watch; I'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who do it a thousand times worse than he does. I don't want any kind of hate pushed towards him; he's an amazing VA, and despite this, I do enjoy his content. I just wish he didn't misuse the M4A tag. With that done, I will continue. From what I've watched of his content, the worst example of this is in his series: Beyond the Stars. because even though all of the different points of view have been tagged as m4a. (except for one, which is tagged M4f). Despite being tagged as m4a, they clearly aren't. If you look at the designs of the characters that are supposed to represent the listener, they are clearly extremely feminine and meant to look as such, and the writing that is used to describe the listeners as well within the content itself also shows that it's not exactly meant for listeners that aren't female. If it was just stated as such, just straight-up tagged as M4F, I wouldn't care; if he's not comfortable voicing and/or writing for non-female listeners, that's fine. it's his channel; he can post what he wishes. not my gripe at all. I just wish, as I said before, he didn't misuse the m4a tag. because if you look at other VAs with truly M4A content, and you look at his "M4A" content, there is an obvious difference. the only series of his that I have seen that doesn't have this issue. is where the listener is a literal cat—it's kind of hard to gender that. Like I said, I don't want any hate towards him; I do genuinely enjoy his content. I just wish he didn't misuse it, as I said. (sorry if I'm repeating myself, and sorry this is long.)

What do yall know about Hank Miller
Bro when I found out that Hank Miller Audios was an old man I literally dipped so fast 😭
I’m sorry but every time I try to listen to his audio I just see that selfie he posted a while back and now every character he does, all I see them as is someone in there 50s and I just can’t 😭😭

Wilder : *calling out the fans that that got mad at V for leaving last time*
Me, feeling called out cuz I am one of those people 😭: "Whoa, okay, I get it, he needs his time I'm sorry, damn!"
V, now having panic attacks: 😰😰
Me: lmao, first time?
V, now got worse: 🫨
Me: WHOA- okay, I should've expected that-
V: * now ready to drop his background story*
Me: YEAAAAAAA-
Lady Akasha: Am I interupting something..?
Me: "... WELL YES, THANKS A LOT-" 🤬
Lady Akasha: "I got updates"
Me: "..... Okay forget what I said earlier please proceed m'lady." 👀
Void: * making an appearance*
Me, knowing damn well we're gonna have a bad time: "ah... Get a load for this fuc-"
Void: * reveal himself as Maverick and there's references to the reddening audio*
Me, realising that things went from 0 to 100 real quick: "AYYO HELL NAH-" 😨😨😨
In any case, I enjoyed the audio nonetheless. It was a roller coaster of emotions since the last audio of this series ngl. 😂😭
I've been relistening to a lot of Pebbles ASMR stuff lately and he's probably one of my favorite audio roleplayers that I never get tired of listening too. He's genuinely a really great voice actor, writer and storyteller. But what I think what hooked me to his videos is his comedic timing in his audios especially in his story driven audios.
For example his SuperVillain Boyfriend series, The Librarian, and Tsundere Boss ones had moments where you had to hold back your laughter cause it had PERFECT timing for shenanigans to happen. And it's not just him too! I could give a good list of audio rpers that genuinely make me laugh, a great example is Scythe Audios. His comedy in his writing cracks me up whenever I listen to his stuff! JayAshBran too, she's really skilled in knowing how to land a line perfectly on a cartoonish level and I absolutely fucking love that!
I love the type of story driven audio rps that you can just have a good laugh at while listening to it. I feel like more people should incorporate that into their audios because it's a lot more enjoyable than the usual waves of sterotypical boyfriend/girlfriend audio rps. Like I kid you not, some of these audios genuinely have me grinning like a fucking idiot and it makes my day.

So like this is what was going on with the holocaust, right? A large amount of people leaving the country for safety? a discriminatory leader? protection of business in support of the discriminatory leader and punishment of ones that don't? Large amounts of minorities being discriminated against? Using places made to punish people who've actually done things wrong to put innocent people in? That's what happened, right?
Because what I'm seeing now is queer people running for their lives, a discriminatory leader, protection of large companies like United healthcare, people discriminating against trans individuals and immigrants, and ICE imprisoning legal immigrants.
Waiting for the next Escaped audio to come out so that my brain can absorb the soundtrack and get a new song to fixate on for the next three weeks.
I can't explain it. The songs hit different after you associate them with a scene in an audio.

More white VAs need POC side and background characters. I understand why they don't want to make POC characters that they personally voice, but all their character line ups for one series always look so boring just being white, white, white. It's okay to add color to your side characters, it's okay to collab with a VA who's a POC for your POC character!

Cheeky will only lay on the left side of V so she can hear his heartbeat.
If she holds his hand, she makes sure she can feel his pulse point.
It’s not intentional
She just wants to make sure he’s alive.
Scythe Audio is literally my comfort channel, like every time I’m upset or in a bad mood I listen to literally anything from him and I feel better. Maybe it’s how immersive they feel or maybe it’s just the screaming but something takes my mind off of whatever’s happening

She/they-Still don't fully understand this app-Just here for mostly Scythe Audio related things-Happily taken
