"A post from Erika Ishii, Ghost of Yōtei's lead voice actor, has resurfaced as gaming fans react to them stating that they are "Antifa." In July 2020, Ishii posted: "I'm antifa! So's my wife!" With the upcoming release of the action-adventure game Ghost of Yōtei, and recent comments by Donald Trump, their post is being re-circulated online. Earlier this week, US president Donald Trump vowed to designate Antifa a "major terrorist organisation", despite the fact that the term doesn't apply to any specific group."
"Antifa, short for anti-fascist, refers to a broad movement of left-leaning organisations and grassroots groups which oppose fascism and far-right ideology including white supremacy and neo-Nazism. Ishii identifies as queer and genderfluid. They have had a very successful voice acting career, contributing to The Last of Us Part II and Apex Legends. They have also made appearances in actual play web series, including L.A. by Night and Dimension 20."
Erika Ishii posted in July 2020, "I'm antifa! So's my wife!" and the message resurfaced online ahead of the release of Ghost of Yōtei. US president Donald Trump vowed to designate Antifa a "major terrorist organisation", a label that does not refer to any single, specific group. Antifa refers to a broad, left-leaning movement opposing fascism, white supremacy, and neo-Nazism. Ishii identifies as queer and genderfluid and has voice credits including The Last of Us Part II and Apex Legends, plus appearances on L.A. by Night and Dimension 20. A user reshared the tweet seemingly to provoke backlash, but many responded by pledging to buy or preorder the game. The Anti-Defamation League warns that the Antifa label is often misapplied to all counter-protesters.
