Sag Strike - Tumblr Posts
At this point, animators need to go on strike too tbh.
In light of recent events
Fuck Disney
Fuck Discovery Networks
Fuck Netflix
Those Dirt Devil and Coke commercials resurrecting dead actors back in the 90s were a foreshadowing.
I'm riding out the strike in the way God intended. I'm watching 20 year old episodes of Hollywood Squares on Pluto TV.
Apparently trees have lawyers.
One nice thing about the strike is not having to see actors do that stupid clown dance for studios where they have to read comments on the internet off of note cards or tablets and attempt to make jokes about it for The Parasocial Fandom Engagement™.
When the actors come out of strike can we go back to promo where the actors tell really interesting industry stories while the talk show host doesn't say shit? I miss that stuff.
SAG: The strike is over!
[Netflix side eyes That 90s Show]
Netflix: Oh shit...
This really makes the Studios costing themselves even more money (and getting more unions involved) by prolonging the strike for the promise of free ai labor even more fucking funny. you dumb fucking bastards lol
I want to make very clear that the strike being over is a VERY good thing, and I recognize and believe that fully. It's a good thing for workers' rights as a whole, and I'm happy that people will have better pay and working conditions.
However, we need to remember that MANY of our favorite actors revealed that they were supportive of zionism and genocide during the strike. We cannot forget that. Please don't forget that. Be happy for this achievement in workers' rights, but do NOT forgive the actors who have supported the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
Do not allow them to celebrate. They do not get to celebrate while they support the murder of Palestinians.
just a reminder - do NOT boycott streaming services or not watch new things. the unions have not called for one for a reason. for one, it affects residual payments, which as minimal as those currently are, actors are still getting them during this time, and for two, studios will use lack of viewership as an excuse to cancel shows because you are showing them there is no demand. it deeply affects the industry the writers and actors stand to come back to once the strike is over
during the wga/sag-aftra strike, we may see:
film in other countries continuing as usual, but those actors/writers are NOT crossing picket lines! other countries unions often have rules where they can’t strike in solidarity with american unions.
new indie movies separate from hollywood studios. indie movies can continue as usual too, and may even use union actors if they follow certain guidelines and/or get permission from the union.
awards shows, although they might look different and may be postponed. if there are award shows during the strike, there’s a chance they will just be live conferences announcing winners with no celebrations attached.
celebrities will not be promoting their work during this time— that WOULD be crossing the picket line! yes, this includes social media. they can still post on social media, as long as it doesn’t pertain to their work.
a lot more reality tv. this happened the last time there was a writers strike, and it will certainly happen again.
actors will also not be able to campaign for awards. this awards season is going to be a strange one.
propaganda from hollywood. they are already trying to flip the narrative by claiming they can break the unions, but they can’t. the strikers have the power. stand with them for however long this takes!
Gee. What a travesty. So awful. No one should ever have this. Oh no. Who knows what would happen if people actually got fair deals. It would be the end of the world as we know it. Everything would implode and stop working. OBVIOUSLY 🙄 we need to keep cheating the writers and actors out of their money.
Oh NO, can't have THAT...🙄
This has gotten hella popular! Like to charge, reblog to cast, as the kids say...
if i see a single one of you pissed that your faves canceled an event or a con appearance because they're striking for fair wages then imma come for you in your sleep 🔪🔪🔪
(direct that fury where it belongs: AMPTP and the execs)
