It's easy to hate on the western VA scene for being consistently retarded but in this case I don't really hold it against them. The game has gotten significantly lewder over time as they catered to the coomer audience more and even does stuff like ASMR now. I don't blame a VA whose uncomfortable with doing NSFW VA work refusing to do so when that's not what they signed up for initially. It would be like an actor who signed on for a movie being told they now had to do sex scenes in the middle of filming.
After digging and playing the game since then, the ASMR shit has nothing to do with Western VAs. It is purely the Chinese side. Even the Japanese version don't have any dub for the ASMR. So your point of them worrying for being forced to voicing any NSFW stuff is moot.
So yes, this is still the case of Western VAs being retarded as usual because they hate the evergrowing fanservice that saved the game from EoS early and you are gay for agreeing with them.
I have mentioned playing the game. And I will tell you right now, the VA work for this game is minimal. The bulk of it is really in the trailers/Youtube videos and some interactions with paid costumes like the Nurse Enya for example. Even then, it's just ecchi/fluff interaction, never crossing the line into hentai. The story section where characters talking doesn't have actual voice acting, just saying a line or two. During shooting section, their spoken lines are just random battle lines.
So yeah, such
hard work and they throw it all away for perceived negotiation power they have for returning.
Important Voice Actors vs Paying Chinese Customers. Yeah did I forgot to mention majority of their revenue comes from Chink players at that? The outcome was obvious. And pretty sure they will get more work from future upcoming gacha games anyway so it's not like they are completely out of work. If not, then good luck to them
