That to me is the part I kinda see, I've never even heard about this strike despite this strike going on for months already, and the support of this is only coming from pretty much from people like Charlie or people whose life is already in the entertainment circle, but your blue collar neighbor or your doctor colleague will truly don't care and if they did, it's probably a throwaway mention The idea that we shouldn't pay writers, actors fairly is horrifically shit take no matter how you spin it, and no matter how much you deny it with the Hollywood movies are terrible, but the idea this strike will be as impactful as say railroad strike or an International shipping port strike is pretty terrible as those actually has severe impact the longer it goes; groceries not reaching store shelves, manufacturers can't build shit, your graphics card supply is delayed by several more days because of the stoppage, that to me is a much more reasonable take than whatever the fuck Kaya is saying

He wasn’t honest, though. He obviously cares because he brought the topic, the way he belittled the strike when he did, and the things he said when he argued. He wasn’t saying anything neutral, he was arguing against the strike and whenever anyone said anything he pretended like he had no skin in the game. It was honestly some of the worst behavior he’s exhibited on the podcast, ever. I like the guy and have listened to every episode and the only other times I’ve gotten as annoyed at him is hearing him talk about LGBTQ+ people.

@@MOLEMITTS12 yknow that is true, while i respect his being honest in his initial opening up of the topic, he definitely backpedalled and said he didn't care even though he brought it up. He was honest in his opinion but not the emotions associated with said opinion, to the point he sounded like he had two clearly opposing opinions at once. The lgbtq stuff also boiled my blood when i initially heard it that i cannot deny, i suppose it's difficult to judge since while he does speak his mind freely and openly which i admire, his ability to actually discuss anything beyond "im right youre wrong" without getting somewhat upset isnt wholy upsetting to me but just so uninteresting. As a gay dude i dont care about his opinions on lgbt stuff anymore solely because he doesnt really open his mind up to any pov other than his own so its pointless getting upset when he hasnt even allowed himself the opportunity to think deeper on it, so i just see him as funny angry internet man in my head and i kinda take the rest of the official boys a bit more serious than him.

Kaya's take on the writing in movie industries is probably his worst one yet. One can argue that, yes, bad movies do mean bad writing, but for the good movies that has good writing, these writers aren't paid fairly. FAIRLY. They get paid about the same amount to pay their cost of living. And its even worse when they literally have to live in LA to be closer to the Hollywood set. And what about up and coming writers? If top movie writers aren't getting paid fairly, imagine the newer writers? Honestly, I hope this strike keeps getting bigger and bigger until it goes towards the voice actor scene. For DECADES, being a voice actor is just a hobby that you're lucky to make money off of. Voice Acting = Acting and I'm sick of hearing the amount of work voice actors do to get not even half of what actors get paid for

kaya needs to actually look at why the writers are striking instead of just reading the headlines lmao of course a lot of writing in hollywood has been bad, it's because of their shitty work conditions. not only are they paid actual peanuts, but they are given way less time to pump out a script, and then the script often gets sent through a game of telephone because it's somehow cheaper to pay 7 different people for 5 hours of work each than just one person for the amount of time needed to see the project from start to finish. and the reason people care is because this strike sets a precedent for other unrelated industries, too. all strikes are a big deal.

[@potato6785]

They made the mistake of striking when public goodwill is at its lowest. People are angry with streaming services for various reasons, we’ve seen these same writers do nothing but regurgitate and destroy beloved franchises, and the movies they’re working on are making losses rather than record-breaking profits. They’re about 5 years too late to successfully strike. Add the cost of living crisis to all of the above, nobody really gives a shit. The Oppenheimer team are striking, but people are still watching. Tom Cruise and a bunch of others asked for exemptions from the strike to promote their films. There isn’t even the internal unity, nevermind enough public goodwill being stored up to support the disruption.

As much as everyone loves to hate on Hollywood, media has a huge impact on the way people view the world, and they're already experts in garnering public attention. Since the writer's strike started, talk about striking for better work and pay conditions has started all over the USA because people are finally feeling a little more empowered to do so. Are unions perfect? No. Is this strike as well organized as it should be? No, they never are.

By writing to SAG saying "can we pls fulfill our contract but, like, with your blessing" they're trying to split the baby.

Instead it just shows that he wishes to be negligent whenever his opinion isn’t the majority and wants to be right all the time and if he isn’t that he “doesn’t care”.

It’s okay to be wrong sometimes, but he just chose to stay ignorant and wrong today for some reason, and that’s loser behavior. He’s definitely the most closed-minded of them. Still love the guy, but he really should think of this less as a hollywood writer’s issue and more of a worker’s rights issue, which is where he’s having a disconnect.

The arguing is usually Jackson or Kaya’s fault but Kaya’s hot takes are consistently way worse than Jackson’s when they’re bad.
