I think it’s also important to reinforce the mindset that a character can have multiple performers and they don’t just stop being that character when someone else becomes them
I also really want people to recognize that voice actors can be replaced, but that does not mean they are expendable.

Absolutely. Especially because a big part of voice actors' livelihoods is running the convention circuit and continuing to embody that character for years. They can still do that, ofc, but it creates a degree of separation that will continue to grow. It deserves some amount of grief and mourning.
