clownery twin like

Sums up this section well

Are you f***ing insane?

It’s a job. It’s literally a job. If you work a job you should make enough money to survive.

Unfortunately in our society any artistic/creative endeavor that leads to the creator making money (not even necessarily in significant amounts) is seen as more of a luxury than it is a job, which is what it is.

And by proxy, do you mean to say you’d prefer the execs (who ultimately make the primary decisions, and are often the initiators/commissioners, of the objectionable content that you’re highlighting) to be able to hoard their profits to the writers’ detriment?

So you want the artist to suffer so the executives and shareholders can make more money? Because those are the two sides of this

Honestly, yeah

they should all get paid expect marvel writers

Idk, it's hard to care about the haves when the have nots literally get s***ted on in every sector and everyone's just like 'that's how capitalism works!!!'

Dude, you do you think every writer part of the WGA is absolutely flushed with cash?

You telling me ppl writing the s*** I watch are poor too?

For prestige tv shows, no, probably not.

But there’s a LOT of tv shows and movies that you haven’t seen or even heard of. Like 90% of the scripted content on Netflix that you think of as filler was written by someone, possibly, especially in the case of shows, multiple people.

You can bet that many of those people are struggling, especially considering how many of them are forced to live in and around someplace like LA.

Why would you not support them over the business owners

Whatever contempt you may have for the writers for whatever reason, should be times a thousand for their employers

So yes

does this strike include p*** writers? like ppl who set the scene for p***??

i wonder how much they get paid..

it wouldnt be a lot right? i mean, do they write the dialogue?? or do the actors just say whatever? or do directors get write the scene? do they get paid on top of the writing? i mean they would write where it takes place if it does.. some of those sets do look pretty lay but some are so specific to the plot ...

they're a union so they can strike. hope it goes well
but as discussed most workers in this country are suffering and don't have that option

Two guys kissing

Would you support journos striking for higher pay? How about police?
