Hi I know I haven't been posting here consistently lately, but I just want to clarify that I absolutely do not support Greg Ellis & his problematic, bigoted, & hurtful views. I love Cullen the character and his voice does feel intrinsic and iconic. However, the safety and well-being of marginalized folks is way, way more important than a video game character. If the devs choose to exclude Greg Ellis from future works, including DA4, I will support them. (As far as I know, nothing is confirmed, just talk.)
What is the deal with Greg Ellis's cocaine/kids story? I think I missed that one.
I donโt want to take away from the racist bullshit heโs up to at present (which is even more abhorrent given the context) but receipts are important. Those of us that have been around long enough know he is literally scraping the barrel of human trash.
He was still going by Jonny Rees at this point. I donโt want to drive traffic there but if youโd like to read for yourself, the podcasts are still up on his crappy pseudo-psych website.
The entire first episode is a complete shit-show but basically:
His ex-wife left him and got custody of their sons after the incident below. He was a drug addict who stopped his meds and therapy and went down the woman hating path. Started preaching about how he could heal mental illness through his own โmethodsโ and tried selling it to very vulnerable people. Disappeared off to India (iirc) and took lots of white saviour photos. He constantly insults and slanders his ex-wife online and plays the pity card. Read Episodes #1 and #2 if you want the full lot.ย

I noticed that you said Greg Ellis was a creep in a post about Cullen from Dragon Age (or something along those lines). Why do you think that? Has he done anything problematic? (I am in no way trying to challenge your opinion or invalidate you in any way, Iโm genuinely curious.)
Hiya,
I donโt feel that youโre trying to challenge my opinion so donโt fret about that.
There are various reasons I find Ellis to be a creep.
- He constantly riles up and calls on theย โCullenitesโ on twitter, like theyโre his own personal army. Tagging them when what heโs talking about has absolutely nothing to do with them or Dragon Age (see his recent foray into teasing that he might have been reprising his role as Cullen in DA4, and it turned out he was voicing a character in the new WoW expansion and it was anย โinnocent mistakeโ)
- In that same vein, he uses them to try and gain more followers (see the above teasing about voicing a character and saying he would say who he was voicing if he reached 10,000 followers on twitter).
- Beyond the weird using Cullen fans shite, thereโs also the fact heโs a men's rights activist. Has basically come out saying he supports Drumphย (words along the line of:ย โI support the person who holds the position of Presidentโ which, holy shit, does not sit right with me).
- His transition into aย โlife style guruโ with no formal training, what-so-ever is incredibly fucking dangerous. From what I can see, he went on a few trips to impoverished parts of the world, did some volunteering in soup kitchens, and felt that was all the expertise he needed to be able to tell people how to better live their lives.ย
- His stance on medication is where I really take issue though. He doesnโt believe in antidepressants or drugs like that and believes people with depression/mental illness only need toย โthink positivelyโ to get better. Which is an incrediblyย dangerous stance to have when you hold a position of popularity, however small because it could influence someone who desperately doesย need that medication, and be the reason they donโt get it, or they stop taking it.ย
I donโt have the time or the spoons to get receipts, you can trudge through his shitshow of a twitter account to find the proof, itโs all there.ย
So, thatโs basically the long-story-short of why I think heโs a creep. Luckily, though I can separate him from the characters heโs played. I wonโt let some fucking weirdo on a power trip ruin a character for me.
