How about adding youthful voices?

When you say "voice," do you mean the noises your character makes when jumping or taunting?
Can't see what else he could mean and seeing as how that has little to do with the overall game. I don't see the devs putting any work into it.
Offering 'voice set' options has come up a few times. I'm in favor of it.
Besides "Young" sets (and other sets with pitch/emphasis changes), sets with bestial, robotic, and elemental noises would be very nice.
If you had even 4 or 5 voices to choose from, or even one voice to choose from, a simple 'pitch' slider could work wonders.
I would like to change my sixteen-year-old toon's deep throat to a more age-appropriate tone.

I was wondering why we couldn't for a long time, along with making truly flat females... But I realize now that it's because the Devs might now want to risk encouraging people to make MORE underaged characters than there are already.

...Making characters under the age of 18 does not violate the ToS. Nor is there any way in the game to depict a character with drugs, alcohol, or in a convincing sexual position. Aside from all that, teenage superheroes are a genre staple. I'm pretty sure that's not the reason.
Plus, that wouldn't explain the lack of bestial or robotic voices. I'm going to go with the much simpler, "They haven't gotten around to it yet" explanation.

Costume pieces, emotes, faces (new ones being added next issue) and other unlockable content also doesn't add into the overall game, yet the devs do spend time creating them.
To answer the first question, yes, it's the grunts and groans you make when jumping, and also the taunt sound effect. What I find interesting about the taunt sound is that with my female stone tanker, she makes a female taunt..... until I go into granite mode, at which point she suddenly has a male voice.
I find it very disconcerting to jump (which you do a lot in this game) on my kid sidekick and hear this very adult and masculine grunt come from him.
So devs, if you can create new faces and costume pieces, how about giving us better sounds our characters make so we can actually have youthful voices on our youthful characters (for which there are faces for).

I created a young character, kind of like a Robin, and his voice stands out as being totally inappropriate. How about, on the character creation screen where you choose male/female, you have a choice for Young Male, Young Female, Male, Female?
