There’s nothing else to question. He’s invented some pathetic persecution complex because Apple has a numbered list of voices. His claim that other people are offended is pure projection.

I still like the voice 4. I think young female voices have the most clarity when using it to text-to-speech lengthy articles. This is also true for audiobooks. The voice 2 is an old female voice, which sounds kinda loose and duck like.
But, the thing is, we are all biased because the first voice we hear as a human were probably a young female’s voice, so we are neurology prewired to decipher that voice most clearly, and we attach a lot of good assumptions to that familiarity.

Yes, I believe we are hardwired to be on alert to “intruder”, “stranger” as he is not likely to bring anything good. Male voice is much more intimidating.
