Some of you might remember a couple of years ago when Scarlett Johansson sued Disney because she was making significantly less money for Black Widow than was guaranteed in her contract because so many more people watched it on streaming than in theaters, how there was a massive misinformation campaign from Disney that a ton of people on this website (and Twitter and other social media) bought into: that she was a greedy bitch who didn't respect people who needed to stay at home during the pandemic (I believe the word "ableist" was thrown around with aplomb) as opposed to someone who just wanted to be paid what she was owed, what Disney had initially guaranteed her when they signed the contract, and whose issue obviously wasn't with streaming itself but with how little streaming was allowed to get away with paying her and other actors.

Anyway we're going to see a lot of that from studios now, especially now that actors have joined the strike and it's easier to sell them as rich and greedy than writers, because of this cultural stereotype we have of all Hollywood actors as celebrities. Don't fall for it. SAG-AFTRA represents people like Tom Cruise and ScarJo but it also represents the kind of people who played a Borg in two episodes of Star Trek: Voyager in 1997 or who had one line in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as an enthusiastic audience member. Most actors are not crazy wealthy, and in fact, if you're a big TV fan (especially older TV and genre TV) that likely includes some actor names that you know, who played supporting roles in your fav shows, or who were even a star in something decades ago but haven't done anything major since. The AFTRA side also represents people like radio broadcasters. But even beside that, all workers deserve to be fairly compensated for the work they do, and the threat of replacing them with AI, or real actors being required to sign contracts to allow their likenesses to be used by AI forever without paying them, is an existential threat to acting as a profession in general. The actors are in the right. The writers are in the right. The studios are in the wrong. The studios have exploited new technology to get away with horrifying labor practices for years and their feet need to be put to the fire. Circulate the articles about how poorly the Orange is the New Black cast was compensated for making one of the defining shows of the early streaming boom, and of the studios saying they want to force writers to starve and lose their homes. Don't get distracted by propaganda aping progressive-sounding language about wealthy celebrities. Focus on the real enemy, the real greedy, rich assholes who care more about money than people and art: the studios.

for those unaware

there's currently a massive wave of transmisogyny(specifically aimed at trans women, if i have to make that clear) that is composed of

staff banning multiple transfem users with no explanation and deleting every image they've ever posted with the claim that they violated TOS. this is goes from pictures of your face at different points of your transition to a silly meme you may have posted. the purpose is to wipe all evidence of your existence clean from tumblr.

terfs and transmisogynists (typically those who espouse that 'transandrophobia' or 'transmisandry' for the bolder transmisogynists out there; think of it like the trans edition of the men's rights activist movement) are currently teaming up to mass-report trans women on this site, which gives staff an excuse to ban a trans woman then refuse to explain why the trans woman in question was banned

terfs (and let's be real, transmisogynists also) are going to multiple trans peoples' ask inboxes to spread loose rumors about trans women; for instance, this post, which was aimed at a friend of mine, avery. this is being done with the intent of socially isolating specific trans women with the intent of causing lasting damage to our lives.

on top of all of this, the transmisogynists have revived a slur from the fucking middle ages, "Baeddel," specifically to use it on trans women. this is in the midst of a growing anti-transfem movement within the transmasc portion of the community.

as a trans woman, i have to ask all of you to be extremely careful about what action you take regarding asks you get spreading rumors about people. if the person that's being accused is a trans woman, what you've been sent is more than likely a lie, and almost 100% part of a targeted hate campaign. if you see someone posting under the transandrophobia or transmisandry tags in your feed, careful! you've got someone in your feed that really doesn't like trans women!

i would also advise turning off anons, as i have, whether you're a trans woman or not. hopefully needing to show their faces will mitigate their ability to harm us.
