Wayne Brady as king dice is a bad move for a lot of reasons

The game Even though none of the characters speak words, they do make reaction noises. King dice's voice in the game is at least interpreted as deep, even if it can't be interpreted as raspy. The history King dice is based off of cab calloway and other jazz musicians of that era. Even though in the game King dice isn't characterized as a jazz singer, they have him come out on stage in the cartoon doing scat. There's definitely an acknowledgment of where his design came from, and they went with Wayne Brady. The fannon For years, The voice dubbing part of the fan community has characterized King dice with a deep but admittedly not always raspy voice. He's also usually accompanied with a faux southern accent. Tennessee / Kentucky... Maybe you can consider it North or South Carolina.

I'm also the type of person that is more interested in why this happened because what happened is a lot simpler to explain. What's not going to be so simple to explain but the media is going to try to explain anyway are the Pandora papers. The long records of a former employee recording all of Facebook's wrongdoings. I was one of the many watching the highlights of Facebook's hearing, but I wasn't watching them in full like many others. If you weren't involved at all, but you're getting involved now, you're about to learn a lot from the summaries of the Pandora
