Part 2/13:
One of the primary issues highlighted is the death threats and harassment Laura Bailey, the voice actress for Abby, has received. Despite her professionalism and her role being purely as a voice actor, she has become a target of abuse simply because of her association with the character. Neon condemns such behavior unequivocally, emphasizing that sending death threats, hate messages, or threatening harm to anyone—regardless of their role in a game—is never acceptable.
Bailey herself acknowledged the overwhelming nature of such hostility, sharing messages where fans expressed vitriol, wishing harm, or even worse. Neon underscores that these behaviors are unjustified and represent misplaced anger towards a fictional character, which then gets directed unfairly at the person portraying her.
