Her views? Like her views that antisemitism is a thing? That Hamas are terrorist murderers? To name just two. I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or if you really think antisemitism is not a thing. Antisemetism is definitely is a thing. And Hamas are terrorists. Hamas does not have the best interests of the Palestinian people at heart. Not being sarcastic. Those are her views and I agree with her.

There are a lot of people voicing frustration at Big Finish hiring Tracey-Ann Oberman in the Twitter comments for the Torchwood One cover due to her views: Her views? Like her views that antisemitism is a thing? That Hamas are terrorist murderers? To name just two. She also called the Pro-Palestine marches “hate marches” - which they’re not. They’re calling out the actions of Israel and the genocide they’re currently enacting out in Gaza. If you look at her Twitter, she’s got some… questionable takes. And there’s many examples through the last few years of her being problematic.

At the same time if a Big Finish performer came out at Pro-Hamas, loathing Israel, etc, what would the response be? I believe Sean Biggerstaff still works for the company, despite anti-Semitic views. This is a complex situation that could cause more trouble if Big Finish were to stop employing her I think.

There’s already been examples of actors in Hollywood being fired or criticised for speaking up against Israel (Melissa Barrera and Jonathan Glazer, for example). The Israel-Gaza situation is complicated, but TAO has been problematic for some time, even before the Israel-Gaza situation escalated - allegedly she’s been transphobic, accused someone of being anti-Semitic when they weren’t and made a joke about FGM. So the complaints about her certainly aren’t completely unwarranted.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

So the complaints about her certainly aren’t completely unwarranted. Come here to say this. I couldn’t begin to simplify the Gaza situation as simply as “they’re right/they’re wrong” but TAO has said some really horrible things in the past and, as such, I have very little respect for her.
