A reminder with the recent headlines connected to the wga strike

DO NOT BOYCOTT UNLESS THE WGA OFFICIALLY CALLS FOR ONE!

I understand you're mad. I understand you're frustrated. I get it! But starting an unofficial boycott will do absolutely nothing to help the WGA and indeed could very well harm efforts, both by cutting the (already limited) residuals the writers are being paid, by potentially creating another excuse for the executives to not negotiate, and if the WGA does call for an official boycott a bunch of people already boycotting will lower the numbers in the official boycott. If there's gonna be a boycott it needs to be very well organized to do any good.

If you wanna help, listen to what the WGA itself says you can do to help. A big one is if you have the money, a big one is donating to the Entertainment Community Fund, to help ensure the striking writers don't go broke. This is gonna be especially big since it's seriously looking like SAG-AFTRA is gonna strike after all.

As I said, if the WGA believes a boycott is necessary and will help their goals they will announce it through official channels. Until the WGA calls for a boycott, DO NOT BOYCOTT. Thank you have a good day.

It’s official. From Deadline:

UPDATED with AMPTP statement, 1:07 AM: Contract negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP broke off tonight, and the guild’s national board will meet Thursday morning to formally approve the launch of a strike.

It will be the first actors strike against the film and television industry since 1980 and the first time that actors and writers have been on strike at the same time since 1960, when Ronald Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild. Picketing is set to begin Friday morning.

WGA and SAG going on strike at the same time is hilarious

[cryptotheism]

What if we just started digging a huge hole

[cryptotheism]

What if we just killed anyone who came near our hole

[charlon-lumi]

Is that hole made for us?

“Why are you so upset about adult content bans? You don’t even post that stuff. can’t you just look at porn somewhere else?”

Well, you see, I have this small problem where my very existence is considered adult content by a small but very powerful group of people and I actually rather enjoy being able to exist in public without restriction so uhhhh put that in your bong and smoke it kiddo.

[ivy-michaels]

Extremely good point

[just-antithings]

Not (exclusively) an anti thing but I swear the stupidest ass thing I see in internet dramas are callouts that went like [

anonymous interacted with evilincestshipper and therefore anonymous is an incest shipper by extension and thus worthy of ostracization]

Like, uh, there is so many things wrong with it idk where to start

Yeah it’s ridiculous

[charlon-lumi]

You say this is ridiculous but I had this exact thing happen to me before

The best thing about being an artist is that you can draw what you want. Until you can't draw it. Then it's horrible being an artist.

[ewombat]

All this and fuck semi circles as well

[amidstthemists]

Everyone- eat the rich! everyone on the Titan was a self entitled rich person (except that poor kid rip)! They shouldn’t have exploited the victims of the Titanic!

News sources everywhere-

Why do I keep seeing James Cameron all over my news (I know these are both Insider, but I have been seeing James Cameron in the news for days from several different outlets, I’m just lazy) Listen, I know he did the time and made the movie but how is he any different? Rich white guy? Profited off of the exploitation of the tragedy of the Titanic? Self entitled expert? Bleh I’m over seeing his crusty wannabe Saruman face all over my phone. Go back to the Avatar movies and think about what you’ve done.

Image descriptions- two news articles, one titled “James Cameron estimates he’s spent more time with the Titanic than the ship’s actual captain after 33 voyages to the wreckage” and “The Titan sub was likely trying to surface and the passengers probably knew the hull was starting to crack before it imploded, James Cameron says.”

A news article titled James Cameron on Titanic Submarine Loss: “Struck by the Similarity of the Titanic Disaster Itself” and a lovely hands rubbing meme with the text “James Cameron eyeballing the opportunity he never thought would come: Titanic 2”

[a-really-big-cat]

...I'm writing this under the assumption that you don't know any better, because hoo boy is this a bad take

James Cameron legitimately numbers among the small handful of people most qualified to talk about the Titan disaster. The reason why is because being a filmmaker is almost a side project compared to his very real contributions to submersible design, oceanography, and undersea exploration. Cameron has spent decades in the field of undersea science and submarine engineering. He co-designed a submersible called Deepsea Challenger which he personally took to the Challenger Deep, the lowest point of the Marianas Trench and the lowest point on Earth, alone; the first and to date only person to have ever done so solo. His hyperfixation is not the Titanic, it's submersible engineering and undersea exploration in general. Here's him being presented the Nierenberg Prize (for contributions to oceanography) in 2013:

Note that in the above interview he literally says that he made Titanic essentially just to get the funding to go to the wreck site (and to have the funding to continue to do so decades onward). He's made 33 dives to the wreck of the Titanic.

The reason why he appears in the news is not because he wants to talk about the disaster. It's got little to nothing to do with him having made Titanic (though that is tangentially related). It's because everyone knows that he is an actual, legitimate expert on the issue of submersible engineering (as well as both diving and diving to the Titanic wreck in particular), and so they bombarded him with interview requests and requests for comment. He specifically did not respond to any such requests until after the deaths of the passengers had been confirmed, because he knew that the sub had imploded and they were all dead, and he didn't want to be insensitive and drown everyone's hopes by telling everyone that the search and rescue was pointless. Here's him on ABC News next to his friend and associate Dr. Bob Ballad, the man who discovered the wreck of the Titanic, who is probably the only other person more qualified than Cameron to talk about the recent disaster:

TL;DR: James Cameron is not being interviewed because "he made Titanic"; he's being interviewed because he's a well-known and verifiable submersible engineering and undersea expert.

[thenightgaunt]

It was done as a joke, but god damn was that line from South Park true.

“James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron”

He’s basically an oceanographer who went to the wrong school and only discovered his true love for the sea AFTER he had already become a famous Director.

That’s not Saruman. That’s GANDALF!

[fabiansociety]

wild thing to say about a famous abuser

[charlon-lumi]

Yes? That does not cancel that he’s literally one of the few people qualified to talk about the Titan disaster.

actual quote from the author of the original manga:

All I wish to convey via this manga is a form of love that isn’t bound by terms such as BL or TS. But to be honest, I just want to awaken a new fetish within someone, that’s what I strongly hope to achieve. Please awaken.

legendary quote. please put this man into contact with some genderfucky queers i wanna see what chaos ensues

Does anyone have any screenshots of the antis trying to claim that giving tragic backstories to your ocs is abusive and that you should give up the rights to your ocs to people who would treat them better? I just really wanna laugh at them again but google doesn't know what im talking about
