I'm quite surprised that people take offense to everything she posts but are totally OK with Tasteless posting dick/porn jokes on his twitter... Actually, I'm not surprised at all that there's rampant hypocrisy in a thread where all the remaining posters are biased against her. Hell, it seems that a fucking psychological profile made just from reading her facebook posts is taken seriously.

Well it is possible to train yourself to talk more clearly, but that takes TIME. Actors do it. In todays world of instant satisfaction people dont bother with that.

Not being able to change your accent is no excuse for giving her the job in the first place. If GOM is stupid enough to do that it is their fault. Kelly could also have declined the job, but maybe the "problem" isnt as big in Asia since there are probably many people who speak like she does and everyone is used to it.

Has there ever been anyone saying she's even suited for the job?
The best reasons why to hire her has been:

She's female.
She has casted before.
GOM didn't have much time, so they just picked someone based off of CV.

She's had major complaints on her casting, because honestly she's not suited for it.
Tasteless is, and has been a starcraft icon since the stone age, and he has the tounge in cheek kind of glow to him. He's been casting since long before the sc2 days.
I'm not gonna beat around the bush here - she has an annoying voice. Most people would agree with me here, and that's basically enough to not be a caster at a major event.
Even if she had an exstensive game knowledge, understandable English in tense situations and great casting skills, her voice (even in the clearest of English) would still be enough to hire someone else, and as she in public opinion has none of the above, there's gonna be complaints.
I understand you're some kind of fanboy, who do understand her. But a lot of us don't. There are alot of people, maybe even the majority who don't have English as native language when watching GSL, and if you have a caster who speaks with a heavy accent it just doesn't work out.
Also if you look at her other casts, she has a history of started screaming uncontrollably, and make a sound carpet over the other casters voice with her yelling that none can understand.

I don't understand what she's saying here. Imagine this being HuK vs Moonglade, or any other of the foreigner favourites in coda A. It would be a disaster.

I have nothing against Kelly Milkies as a person, and I like that more girls are trying out a casting career. I think there are better options for the English stream though.
As China will start playing sc2 now, it wouldn't surprise me if GOM got a huge upswing by Chinese viewes. Maybe Kelly could become the Chinese caster in the future?

Yeah that was pretty much my point, the fact that nobody cares. That's why I called it hypocrisy. And you called me a fanboy, I guess for not saying I dislike her casting. That kind of confirms that the thread doesn't have anybody but biased people left posting. That and the fact that everybody keeps reposting her worst cast as if it proved something about how she speaks normally. I could name 20 casters that I think do a better job than her, but nobody on that list applied. I just think that the decrease in Code A casting quality is a fair price to pay for more energetic Code S casting. I guess that's enough to be labelled a fanboy here.

The difference between Tasteless making dick and porn jokes on his twitter is that they're jokes. While I don't mind the nazi meme myself(although good lord, being a person in the public eye and still using 4chan garbage really speaks volumes about her professionalism.), we should point out there is a difference between "dirty jokes" and "emo, self centered posts" about her love life, "deep" dark poems about her feelings, and how she considers herself a queen.

None of that is humor. It's narcissism. If she makes dirty jokes, who cares, they're jokes. When all she does is talk about herself, that's extremely off putting behavior.

I say people are biased because they don't consider all the information available and just use the material that paints her in the worst light. It's why the DotA finals cast has been pasted countless times but the much more relevant cast (you know, being SC2 and all) with TB hasn't really appeared here.

The replies in this interview should really nullify all of the ridiculous outbursts that have been flooding TL for the last 5 days.

Another example might be that the posts where she uses the words "troll" or "hater" are analyzed into and taken as evidence that she doesn't intend to improve when there are other posts and even an interview where she says she will. Yet another example would be where people complain about her ladder rank but would still welcome even lower ranked casters if they just happened to be their favorites.

People need to calm their tits and wait to pass judgment until we actually see her casting alongside Tasteless or Artosis for GSL. We don't know how their dynamic will play out, we don't know how she'll do and quite frankly some of the comments in here are bashing her because of her sex. Just see how it goes before totally flaming her ya?
