I think that Ruby's actual voice will probably gather some fans since it sounds like the voice they're wanting without the short range and (probably) lack of access in the US. I think that Ruby will stand more on her own merits rather then from this controversy, since the push happening from this won't last long.

I will be honest, I was excited at first to see what would happen, because this is the first time I've seen such a concentrated effort from the fandom. However, not only had it gotten a bit counterproductive, but I know that that'll settle down in a month tops. Hopefully this is the kick that'll get Ruby into the minds of others and hopefully stay there. I'm also hoping that there will be a better effort at compromising between just marketing to one group or the other. I know it can happen.

I don't like how this all came out, but I wouldn't go through any other controversy that I've been through again, especially Planty. That specific situation hit me at a sensitive place during a sensitive time.
