What's the truth?
A TikTok user called @guzzlingguzma, who typically shares anime-related content with their 14.6K followers, posted a video to their account in the middle of April 2023 that appeared to criticize fans for their preference for certain anime waifus. TikTok's three-part slideshow poses the question, "Is she hot? Or is Ryan Gosling's voice all that she is? The final image is a mock-up of Ryan's BehindTheVoiceActors.com bio, which lists her as the voice of a number of well-known female anime characters.
According to this now-viral TikTok, Gosling has allegedly voiced Aqua from 'KonoSuba', Kagome Higurashi from 'InuYasha', Saber from the 'Fate' series, Himiko Toga from 'My Hero Academia', Mikasa Ackerman from 'Attack on Titan', and Nezuko from 'Demon Slayer', among several others. To be perfectly clear, though, of course, he didn't voice any of these characters. The TikTok was simply a joke on OP's part to take on the Hollywood actor.
"Ryan Gosling best waifu!!"
Some folks in the comments are completely dumbfounded to discover that Gosling supposedly voiced all of these ladies from various anime. Funnily enough, there are as many people who believed the TikTok for a second as there were people who were aware of the joke. One person commented, "Ryan Gosling best waifu!!" Another user wrote, "MY LIFE IS A LIE," suggesting they might have believed the TikTok. To their credit, even @guzzlingguzma commented, "Some of y'all took this way too serious," in response to people who believed their meme.
