She was harassed by individuals on Twitter following her comments. The original video was willingly removed from YouTube by its creator, but the AI cover was reposted by additional accounts. Various other voice actors, such as Mike Pollock, Josh Keaton, Sean Chiplock, and Yuri Lowenthal, along with cartoonist Vivienne Medrano, stated their support for Lindbeck and their opposition to "the use of AI-generated voices".
