It's funny because I distinctly remember his last tweet taking place around the time I got banned so when I read this on another website and saw a link to this thread, I had to throw in my two cents.Water Pokémon Master said:A few months ago I sent a Tweet to Tom Wayland, the voice director of the English dub, asking if he might know why they replaced the music in the Diancie movie. I didn't receive a reply, and noticed over the next few days that he didn't send out a single Tweet despite sending out Tweets almost daily. Checked a month later and still, no response, no Tweets. I thought I scared him away from Twitter or something.
I just Googled him and it turns out the day after I sent my Tweet, he was publicly accused of raping a woman at a convention (https://www.facebook.com/hentai.pirate/posts/10153599716595744). That's probably why he stopped using his Twitter account despite using it almost every single day before then. The victim says there's an ongoing investigation and that she's lawyered up, so it looks like he's is in very serious trouble. One can assume he's probably focusing on that now, or at the very least distracted by it. Or maybe he's been replaced. Who knows if that's why this trailer turned out so odd.
If it turns out the accusations are correct, you have to wonder if it's going to jeopardize his job (since, you know, Pokemon is a kid-friendly company and that doesn't quite fit their image). I think he's just one of the people who works at DuArt (the dubbing company TPCi has partnered with), so they may be able to replace him if he goes to jail (since rapes usually result in jail time). DuArt may have to prepare a Plan B with another voice director now... or something. Who knows.
It's really hard for me to believe that Tom would do this at a convention of all places, not to mention he's a father. I'm not saying that rules him out completely but it's very hard for me to believe. I hope this turns out to be a false claim and doesn't cause him to lose his job. He's done a very good job with the series so far so it would be awful to see him fired.
