As hard as it is being a CG artist that worked on Star Wars projects and now having been unemployed for almost a year and moving back with family, I have to agree that this is necessary to hopefully have art made again. I went into the industry wanting to create films that audiences can resonate with and find meaning in. But every project I worked on I hated and completely lost my passion. Now that I’ve had the time to work on my own stuff, I have gained my passion again and have been looking into different avenues to share my work. The problem with the shit studios have been making is that they don’t give people with talent creative say so. I knew so many incredibly talented story tellers and artists that weren’t given opportunities to tell them because it didn’t meet the agenda. Or they weren’t considered diverse enough. Although I’m struggling now, I have hope that maybe this’ll give us artists a chance to take up the mantle of making stories that are worth a damn. And if it takes destroying Hollywood to get rid of the woke culture that destroyed it, So be it!

Gary, I worked in the entertainment industry for over thirty years. Two thirds of that time in regional theater around the country and one third of the time in Hollywood below the line building movie scenery. I was a proud member of I.A.T.S.E. Local 44 (prop makers) in LA, Local 15 (stage hands) in Seattle, and local 488 (film production) in Seattle. I retired from the business around eighteen years ago and the only thing I really miss about the biz are the people I worked with, I don’t miss the long hours. I don’t regret the years I spent working in the industry even though it nearly ruined my marriage, which has survived because I retired from the biz. The people I feel for are the below the line folks, the usually unmentioned artisans working the incredibly long hours under often shitty conditions so a handful of privileged people can get paid a lot of money to pretend. Fortunately for all the prop makers, grips, costumers, lighting folks, they have skills that can help them make ends meet while those that are asking for hand outs don’t seem to understand that it isn’t really about them at all. The great thing about all of the I.A. Locals that I worked out of was if you didn’t show up for work on time and didn’t do your job you would get bounced out the door and replaced. “Dirty hands, Clean money!” Keep up the good work and calling out the bullshit.

During the 2007-2008 strike, I was annoyed because of the impact it was having on my favorite shows. A lot of us were. Which was good for the writers since that gave them leverage. Now here we are 15 years later and it seems that roughly 2/3rds of the customer base couldn't give two $#!%s about any of the shows affected because of how thoroughly they've been destroyed by woke ideology run rampant among those same writers. Simply put, writers had clout 15 years ago. Now, thanks primarily to their alienating their paying customers over nearly a decade by way of shaming and pushing woke social agendas, they have nearly zero sympathy from the public. Add in the threat of rapidly developing AI and you can see how this will not go well for the writers and actors that have been $#!%ing all over their customers for the past 10 years. This is the inevitable result of continually pissing on your customers and then shaming them for not believing it to be righteous rain. This isn't "karma".

To be fair, most actors are not 'woke'. It's the Producers and Casting Directors who screen actors and if they don't meet certain criteria or answer the questions the right way, are not given jobs. Many actors have complained annonomously that they have to lie and claim to hold liberal beliefs about their politics, LGTBBQ+, and what ills society. Sure there are a few well-know A-List actors who are outspoken on their views, but we can't hold all actors in contempt for a small minority of the outspoken elite. Screenwriters want better pay and benefits. Concidering where they have to live and what they are being paid, especially as studios look into replacing them with AI, I can understand that arguement. With actors, it makes sense that the background actors are upset that the studios have clauses that say they can get a scan of the actors' bodies and sample of their voices, and can use their likeness forever. Studios then never have to employ them again or pay them for use of their likeness once they pay that person the couple hundred dollars so they can scan them in. From a studio POV, having scans of real people you can use over and over and not have to pay means that is one thing they no longer have to worry about when making movies, so yeah, they see it as a way to cut down costs. From a actor's POV, they are getting screwed. Why would anyone want to hire them once their image is scanned in? How could they move from a bit roles into a breakout role if the studios don't offer them a chance with bit parts? As someone who isn't an actor and has no care to be one, I'd be happy to get scanned in, take the free money and go about doing my regular 9-5. If I happen to show up in the background of a movie or TV show, I'd smile and be pretty happy just to see my likeness there. I can understand from the actor who makes a living as a bit actor, how they see this as killing their jobs. Those are about the only arguments that I can side with the writers and actors on.

The problem isn’t so much „woke“-Hollywood, it’s lazy-writing-Hollywood. They thought they could get away with minimal effort if they parade diversity in every movie.

[@Quball_Productions]

My family and I went to the movies practically every month during my childhood. My dad worked long hours and taking us to the movies was a way for him to entertain us and catch a nap in the dark theater while my mom got a few hours to herself. Dad almost always fell asleep in the movie theater once the lights went down. I remember seeing films like the original Jumanji, Mighty Ducks, Heavyweights, Iron Will, etc. I didn't need to be represented on screen to identify with the characters. I enjoyed the stories. There were timeless life lessons. I bought the posters, the action figures, the t-shirts, the merchandise from Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, The Simpsons, Beavis and Butthead, and plenty of DC and MCU movies. And then I grew up. I watched circa ~2014 as Hollywood and entertainment changed. Politics and forced behavior messaging became the norm. Caucasian characters were now often the villain, or they were weak, broken, or dead, while nonwhite characters were morally virtuous, powerful, and so on. There was always something "woke" and political. It became cringe. Women could no longer be sexy. They had to be as tough and strong as men. 2016 accelerated this change and 2020 put it into hyperdrive. I rarely go to the movies now aside from Tom Cruise films. I don't want much streaming anymore aside from a few programs. Star Wars and Star Trek are dead to me. I didn't bother with the LOTR Amazon series. If tomorrow streaming services were consolidated and reduced, I wouldn't care. I don't buy any more merchandise, t-shirts, posters or action figures. I don't care if Hollywood itself implodes and all these people never work again. That's what you've done to me, you woke writers, you activist actors, you greedy virtual signaling studios. You lost fans like me and all the love, attention and money that comes with it.

Honestly I think you just have to not care so much about political agendas in your life. imo it's not as bad as people make it out to be, but since you're obsessing over political differences, you're going to look for it more in the things you consume. There are tons of great movies still (to be fair idk your movie taste). I try to catch a movie every other weekend and Oppenheimer, Guardians of the Galaxy, Talk To Me, Theater Camp, Spiderman Across the Spiderverse, No Hard Feelings, Past Lives, and The Whale are all movies I really enjoyed watching in the theaters this year. Maybe there's going to be those movies that have political agendas once in a while but I don't think that should stop you from enjoying movies like you did when you were a kid 🙂 There are still amazing movies out there, just don't obsess so much over politics. I know it's hard since it's all over social media, but everything's not as bad as people make it to be. Just stop caring about that bullshit 🤷‍♂️

Under a globalist scheme, this strike was planned, and it's succeeding (when those who are supposed to be protected from a union, are actually not, then it means that some corporate corruption is undergoing ; like in China, where Unions are actually a corporate division - like Human Resources - and under their ruling).

I feel bad to people not being able to pay their bills. That being said I am overjoyed that the Juggernaut of Woke messaging is collapsing in on itself. Does anybody else remember when all actors were like Clint Eastwood and John Wayne or even today like Chris Pratt, when actors weren’t so self absorbed that they were wanting to entertain people and be a human being.

[@DeadlyPlatypus]

I don't feel sorry for them. They joined a union specifically so they could refuse to work for pay. If they want to pay their bills, they can find a different job or scab. I stand with scabs and picket crossers.

[@lucascoval828]

​@DeadlyPlatypus Don't forget them joining in on TDS, Summer of Love, and Lockdown support. The sweet taste of karma.

[@Spectification]

​@@DeadlyPlatypuspeople want to use collective bargaining to force change against a large corporation. And you as a fellow employee stand with the corporation... You do know that without unions and strikes, you would have no workers rights while working 16h days, right?

[@Carandini]

@@Spectification Don't go trotting out the 'without the unions' bullshit. The unions of today are not the unions of yesterday. They're not fighting for worker rights, they're leeching as much as they can from businesses until the point where they destroy the company and all the people they supposedly represent are unemployed. United Auto Workers is a superb example. The unions are run by the same kind of corporate parasites that infest banking and every other industry - these are swine that care about nothing beyond the short-term gains they can put in their own pockets. I've seen first-hand some of the fiscally responsible attitudes of union officers, like sending the wife for weekend trips to Las Vegas all on the back of member dues. Unions used to be about the worker, now they're just another layer of worker exploitation.

​@gridley it was rumored he had gay tendencies but it wouldn't make sense since he had multiple women in his lifetime and despised homosexual corn and even outlawed corn in general. The socialist thing was a nationalist socialist. Notsee literally means nationalist but history has to tell you he was far worse than Stalin or Mao. And that's because of ✡️.

This video is truly significant, not only for denouncing the culture war waged against us but also for the part towards the end when you said, 'You're not alone,' 'You're not crazy.'

[@urgyenrigdzin3775]

Social media and mainstream news partially responsible for the wokeism to grow like this, especially the recommender system. Social media only show us what the current trend is and what we watch most often for recommendation, without trying to offer a small sample of alternatives. And mainstream news just like to add fuel to the fire for their own profit. That's why a lot of people think that supporting wokeism is at least politically correct, even if behind closed door they actually disagree. So, yeah, you're not alone.

The language out of the Blackrock executive is absolutely chilling and anyone who listened to that and didnt see the terror that can come from that needs to stop and think. Those are powerful men. Possibly some of the most in the world. Woke hollywood can seem like a funny distraction, but when the money interests like blackrock are in the mix there, it perhaps is one of the only windows we have into the concealed control in the world as it is actually unfurling.

[@chase_with_jase]

Especially when you dig a bit deeper and realize that Blackrock and Vanguard own pretty much most of this world. And that most of us unknowingly are working for them because they own so many corporations! I agree it's very scary when so few have so much power.

[@fixman88]

That guy sounds like a Bond villain. 'Force behavior?' Let his ass try.

[@CodeBleu724]

I'm not afraid of anyone. Especially Larry Fink. Sure he's got the money behind him to try to "force behavior". But look what happened in 2020...did ALL of us mask and jab? The fact that people like him demanded it made me more adversarial. I'm not alone.

[@RangerBass]

In the good old days James Bond had a license to kill evil billionaires who wanted to rule world, and he used it!

[@MissyFaith1971]

Yeah. There is a video on here w/ Black Rock about "Forced Behavior " They decided that they want to control how people think and act because they think they know better than the individual person. They claim the it's for the good of everyone. Tell it like it is- it's not creating unity. It's the most divisive and stupid thing,I refuse to be any part of it. It's childish. You're feeling get hurt? Let's coddle you. When we were younger, it was better. If your feelings got hurt,you just didn't listen to what was said or didn't hang out with those people. You didn't like a show, you didn't watch it or changed the channels. You didn't like the content of a book, you didn't read it. You didn't like a movie, you skipped it. You didn't like something or were offended by something or someone you had to realize that the world doesn't revolve around you. Not everyone is the same. Not everyone is going to cater to you. Freedom of Speech still exists. 1st amendment right still exists. You're not always going to get your way. What a bunch of entitled, whiners with a victim mentality! They cry everyone is supposed to kiss their ass. I'm so sick of everyone acting like toddlers! I refuse to bend the knee to these crying whiners. They can't make it 5 minutes without something to whine about. It's not pre school here. It's the real world and these people need to grow up and deal with it

[@Umega101]

I'm curious ... when Hollywood makes the near complete switch to AI-writers; what are they going to do when the parameters they put in the program include 'profits' and 'woke culture stuff', and it turns out the AI isn't capable of writing anything that works with both of those guidelines together?

[@TheQuantumShell]

Believe it or not, but I've tried using chatGPT and its doing marvelous. It's actually programed with woke stuff to the roof. You even can't make him to write something derogatory or something that offends woke culture or alphabet people. Even when you ask something offensive you get a warning and it won't even input your inquiry. I've tried to argue with it on that subject especially on pronouns but it's not different then talking to some blue haired freak on street. Whats more bizarre is when I asked it about pedos in general, it said its a sensitive matter to discuss and it just circles around it. That just shows what kind of people are behind it.

[@chocobrowniewin]

Well, if it actually works, there won't be a need for any of them to have a job. Cause the only ones who are willing to write that can't find work anywhere else. Besides the fanfiction sites

If that’s the case, then why all the bitching about Hollywood’s woke idiocy? If it is useless, then Just turn the tv off and go do something else. I’m glad this is happening, but don’t fool yourself into thinking that nobody would notice the absence of these idiots, because all they have to do is race swap some character in shitty Star Wars for everyone in this channel to bitch about it, or change it back to normal for all the nerds to wet their panties.

When it comes to picking a side in this strike, I’m reminded of Ken Watanabe’s line in Godzilla, “let them fight”. Both sides have spit in our faces and now expect us to support them. I’m not rooting for Hollywood to die but I don’t care if it lives either.
