A Fan Tweets Death Threats to Voice Actress Risa Taneda

Voice actress Risa Taneda who recently announced her return to the world of voice acting has recently received a series of death threats from a Twitter user, who seems to be a fan of fellow voice actress Rie Takahashi.

Through his Twitter accounts, one of which has been suspended, the user posted several tweets in attempt to curse and “wish Taneda to commit suicide”. His most recent tweet features the following photo and caption:

Rieri is bashed because of Taneda, so I want to kill Taneda! Please help spread this message to drive Taneda into suicide! All for the sake of Rieri!

The reason behind the user’s action seems to be based on assumptions that Taneda’s return would have a possible effect on the role of Mashu Kyrielight from popular mobile game Fate/Grand Order, which is currently voiced by Rie Takahashi since October 1, 2016 due to the former’s hiatus in order to focus on medical treatment for her illness.
