actually even "rich" actors are in need of better contracts, largely because even they are being exploited, not only are working conditions horrific even for them (listen to literally any horror story from any big-name marvel actor) but studios are very much stealing their likenesses to be used in perpetuity in whatever project they wish without consent or compensation

ai threatening jobs is a cross-class issue, stop acting like it's just about annual income

While we're all talking about both the WGA/SAG strikes and Barbenheimer, I hope everyone realises that the entire reason this exists is because Christopher Nolan stood up to Warner Bros against pushing their entire cinematic slate onto streaming in 2021, by taking his next film to another studio.

Then, as an act of petty revenge, they decided to deliberately move their single biggest movie of 2023 (and arguably WB's biggest non-Batman/Harry Potter movie in DECADES) directly onto his release date.

So no, the Barbie Marketing isn't "so good it helped another movie". The Barbie Marketing Machine was specifically designed to get back at someone who dared to stand up against WB executives.

It was a calculated move of malice by soulless corporate fuckeroonies.

#the fact that fans decided to destroy the rivalry and make Barbenheimer is the best part of this #you just know that movie studios are going to try and replicate this energy tho #and they will fail because you simply cannot get this lightning in a bottle moment to happen again #barbenheimer #oppenheimer #barbie #wga strike #sag strike

listen. all im saying is it would be iconic as fuck if the writers on strike wrote insane amounts of horrendously smutty omegaverse fan fiction so when the studios try to AI scrape they'll be fucked over into next year

During yesterday SAG-AFTRA press conference a journalist asked:

“What do you say to the fans and consumers that aren’t interested in the strike and just want to see their favourite tv show?” (or something along these lines I don’t recall the precise words)

And Fran Drescher responded with:

“Well, what makes you think they are not interested in what’s happening here? I think that they have an allegiance to all of us because we bring joy and entertainment to their lives […] so I don’t think that your assumption that they don’t really care about anything but being entertained over the summer is the bottom line” and proceded to say how this corporate greed can extend to all fields of works and how we understand that

AND WE DO UNDERSTAND AND WE DO CARE!

I love her so much for this! It makes me sooo mad when the assumption is that, as a consumer, I don’t care about people who make something that I love, because I do, we do! I know for a fact that people in fandoms care so much about the people involved in the creation of every aspect of their favourite piece of media.

Stop infantilising the audience! We are not whiny children and we understand the complexities of this moment. I am sooo happy that she recognised that.

#sag aftra #sag strike #wga strike #and I say that as an iwtv fan #that just shut down production #and cancelled their sdcc panel #so I know how sad it is #but I also know how devastating is for actors and writers involved with the strike and how that was a last resort against #frankly horrific and unbelievable corporate greed

Since the WGA strikes began, the studios have been trying—and failing—to turn fans against the writers (and now the actors). I reported on a very strange SDCC this year, which was full of labor conversations and solidarity along the full spectrum of the fan/creator divide. As one member of SAG-AFTRA told me during an awareness-raising demonstration across from the convention center, “The people that I have met today have been all thumbs-up, V for victory, hugs. We love it, and we’re very pleasantly surprised.”

Important news for cosplay and fan creators!

So @/estarguarstia on twitter recently emailed the folks at the SAGAFTRA on how fan creators/influencers can support the strike (also what should aspiring members follow to not impact their future membership) and here’s what they said.

“We are asking folks not to do cosplay if it would promote struck productions. Yes, you can promote comics, books, and games, as this is not struck work. That being said, performers are being asked to refrain from promotiong struck work, including past productions that would have been struck if produced today.”

@/KlaudiaSays clarifies further what this means as they’re a producer/writer

Furthermore here’s what SAGAFTRA has told deadline news

From the article

“And even if a social media influencer isn’t getting paid to push on social media for a studio/streamer, it’s best not to do so, even as a fan. “Influencers should refrain from posting on social media about any struck work regardless of whether they are posting organically or in a paid capacity,” reads Sagaftrastrike.org.”

So please support the WGA and SAGAFTRA strikers by not doing promo for stopped works.

Here is a current list of struck companies

And here’s the strike FAQ.

While yes the strike does specify not cosplaying for struck companies under their “influencer” page, it also does say non-members should not render services to struck companies either if they plan to be members in the future. And from the emails from SAG-AFTRA with suggestions I linked above as well, maybe just don’t do free promo for struck companies right now.

Modern fandom as we know and love it would not exist without actors, it's time we give back in the best way we can; by loudly and proudly standing in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA members in their fight to receive a fair deal from the AMPTP.

You know what this reminds me of? What he said to that reporter when she asked him to say something to all his girlfriends and guy friends that were happy about his win. He went like “It’s all for you, trust me, truuuust meee!” 😌😌

It’s all for his girls and guys, y’all! 🥰🥰

SAG and WGA members have repeatedly said that you, as fans, shouldn’t protest streaming services and new releases because fans continuing to show interest in new releases both gets them paid and puts pressure on the AMPTP to sit down and make a deal so idk where y’all got “don’t create or interact with fan content of any kind in any way”, the closest to this that I’ve seen is the cosplay rule*, which is for INFLUENCERS who are under the SAG influencer agreement or may want to be in the future, not fans with hobbies (in fact, in the Variety article that specifies the cosplay rule, they specifically say if you’re not in SAG or a future union influencer to “go right ahead”)

*I could not find the cosplay rule anywhere on the SAG-AFTRA strike official website but it appears to be an expansion on this point in the FAQ for Influencers section:

The cosplay addition to this rule seems to stem from this Variety article as well as screenshots of an email exchange between a twitter user and the strike’s official email address

I highly recommend you get your information regarding the strike and what counts as crossing the picket line directly from the SAG-AFTRA strike website as well as directly from the WGA strike website (I suggest reading the FAQs a couple times) or by submitting any questions you may have to the strike’s official email or phone number— [email protected] or 877-8-STRIKE (877-878-7453)— as opposed to listening to strangers online as there is a lot of misinformation going around right now

#fae.txt #sag aftra #sag strike #wga strike #I’m hoping everything here makes sense and is correct #I consulted the sag strike website as much as possible for this and read the faqs twice #none of which specify that fans should change the way they engage with shows movies or fan content #if I’ve missed anything on the official website feel free to correct me #again this is regarding the official website #twitter tiktok and tumblr are not reliable sources in my opinion #the only exception is if said social media belongs to strike leaders #anyway it’s 2am for me so I’m gonna go to bed now gn

no but for real not to beat a dead horse that i havent seen and dont plan to but they keep trying to do live action atla and i just Do Not Get It? its already been done? quite well? the original cartoon is very good and it doesn't feel like its actually really lacking in a way that a remake would improve upon, and it doesnt seem like either remake has improved upon it, and it doesnt feel like they ever get the tone right either? and why are they only ever trying to adapt atla? why not the comics? or korra ? the adventures of fire lord zuko. i mean fuck i dont even like that they turned toph into a cop but they could do a Toph crime drama procedural. probably shouldnt i dont think that would be good but at least it would be like. a new idea. fucking, adapt the kyoshi novels maybe. i wont forgive you if you fuck them up of course, but im already not forgiving the live action ATLAs so like idk. why not try something new. something a little more original.

#toy txt post #i dont understand why it has to be adapted to live action in the first place honestly but like maybe even just try Something Else #maybe even like a brand new show even. could try that. how many different original new shows have the streaming services #filmed and produced and then didnt release for weird tax cut reasons again even tho i thought that was one of the things the writers and #sag aftra were trying to fix with the strike? and then the companies all just keep doing it anyway...? cool? #fucking do a live action about The Cabbage Guy and his life #why does it have to be a retelling of the original show that was already good? i dont get it #im trying not to be too harsh here bc im sure theres plenty of one piece fans who feel that way about the live action vahgddjsvuvdjevj
