#wga support

"Your show might be delayed by the wga strikes!"

I watched Sherlock, mate. We waited three years for the 3 worst episodes you've ever seen. This is nothing

[mssstake]

that new Netflix show looks cool and all, but isn’t the writer’s strike still going?

update (July 30):

To those explaining WGA has not called for boycott and why, thank you, I genuinely appreciate you all. Sorry this response took so long. I just figured out how to view reposts.

To those who do not know, it is extremely likely a mass drop in subscriptions will turn into an excuse to say “streaming services are not a stable way to get revenue, so your work does not hold any real value for us”. A boycott has not been called as a result.

The agreement is tentative!!! Keep going strong writers and actors!!

[noriyucko]

with the wga strike recently coming to an end, i give my support and respect to the writers that protested and held out for the 5 long months.

but i do want everyone to still be aware that sagaftra IS still striking and has yet to receive a good deal, so dont forget to continue giving them full support as they continue. hopefully amptp will fall through for actors soon, but we still have to be prepared in case they continue being stubborn.

Misha,being Misha. Such a gooood fellow!!

[raspberry-crepe]

this is amazing news now that the WGA has reached tentative agreement and the strike is now ended

BUT also please remember that SAG-AFTRA are still striking

keep on giving full support to the strike so the actors can get what they deserve!

[ohihopeicanchangethislater]

In all kindness, f*ck anyone that doesn't take the strike seriously. The fact that people think that the writers and actors of their favorite shows don't deserve living wages, and they would rather bootlick studio execs who don't give two shits about them is absolutely delusional.

I can understand being indifferent to the strike, though I don't agree with it. Some people just don't follow show business, and the writing process in particular, and don't really know what's going on. Okay fine whatever.

But to actually be opposed to the strike, harassing writers and supporters online (and hopefully not in person) saying they are just being whiny entitled brats who should just get a real job, you've got to be a unique breed of scum.

I responded to someone online with what I wrote below, and I liked it so I wanted to share it here.

Enjoy my Strike Support Manifesto, "In their shoes"

okay so imagine your job, that you've worked at for years, suddenly says "hey guys we only need you for a few months every year, good luck the rest of the time" and they hardly pay you anything for work you've already done. Now imagine you want to try to change that, because you want to keep working at your dream job that you've worked your whole life to get, but your boss just says, "nah, you can lose your house and starve, I want to keep all of the money we earn" so you decide to go on strike, to protest a change to the system in a changing world. But some ignorant people on the internet just tell you to give up and just go get another job. Forget about all of your schooling and training and years of experience in your chosen field, these losers on the internet don't think that means shit, because you're being a whiny baby for standing up for what you believe to be honest work. Kindly put yourself in their shoes and shut up
