Is it normal i loathe soft spoken voices?
I find soft spoken voices that are usually described as "soothing" or sometimes even "sexy" to be absolutely grating. Bonus points if they're mumbly, slightly grainy/raspy, or high pitched and sound like a child.
A prime example is Dallas from Beavis and Butt-head Do America. Also, many ASMR mumbly voices. An even more prime example is Karen from the Town's Inn episode of Hotel Hell.
It probably has something to do with the fact that pretty much every person I've met with a soft spoken voice like this has always had an equally grating personality, and usually become even more soft spoken when they're trying to be condescending, or trying to manipulate someone or act like a whiny victim and garner sympathy and attention.
My attention seeking, whiny victim, hypochondriac of a stepmom comes to mind. She already has an annoying soft spoken voice, but when she "isn't feeling good" (which is all the time; she is a freeloader) and wants to lay on her fat ass all day instead of going to work like a normal person, she gets even more annoyingly soft spoken, almost like a child.
Honestly, I think Fred's voice is less annoying than these types of voices.
