In a series of videos posted to Twitter, the legendary voice actor asked both Bayonetta and Nintendo fans to boycott Bayonetta 3. Instead of buying the game, she\u2019s asking fans to donate funds to charity. \u201cI didn\u2019t want the world and didn\u2019t ask for too much. I was just asking for a decent, dignified, livable wage. What they did was legal, but it was immoral.\u201d She went on to explain that it wasn\u2019t easy to ask fans to boycott the game, but she decided to do so \u201cto stand up in solidarity with people all over the world who do not get paid properly for their talents.\u201d Taylor also added that she suffered from depression and anxiety, which lead her to feel suicidal.
