Does tumblr know about the animation union yaoi yet

night-creeps

The rest of tumblr might but I do not so please fill me in

cottoncandysprite

Ok so I'm not fully informed on it but here's the basic outline from what I've gathered:

The Animation Guild has been in negotiations with the AMPT (studios) to get better protections against AI, better pay, fewer layoffs, and generally more respect as an industry. To raise awareness, Animation Workers Ignited (not officially affiliated with TAG but a community-run account made to build support and organize) have been releasing animated PSAs starring Adam Conover (Adam Ruins Everything) as a fast-talking, suited-up organizer and Alex Hirsch (Gravity Falls) as a green-shirted, scared audience stand-in.

Sometime last night, Alex Hirsch and the director of the shorts shared exchange in the comments of their most recent PSA on twitter:

Which led to:

And finally, the art that kicked this whole thing off:

So, because this is the animation industry, everyone immediately jumped onto the new ship and started drawing fanart for it, ranging from silly doodles to full art pieces

AWI themselves are fully supportive of this and see it as a great way to spread awareness and get people to engage with the union. Even the Canadian Animation Guild posted about it. We are genuinely helping their cause by posting yaoi art. This is a good thing. Great, even.

TL,DR: People are showing support for and actually helping negotiating animators by posting yaoi art of characters from their PSAs.

lot of terfs have been reblogging this so I may as well publicly state that the woman on the right is modeled with permission after my transfemme friend. if you relate to it as strongly as many of you claim in the tags I urge you to reflect upon that with empathy and compassion about the depth of experiences you truly do share with trans women.

otherwise fuck off I guess. my art is not fuel for your hatred.

Authors, agents, publishers: every part of the industry is seeing the strain of five years of escalating anti-LGBTQ censorship.

I do think there’s something interesting when there Could be a real cause of concern in regards to someone’s behaviour, but then everything is like about that person being a transgender woman and how much she is evil because she is a trans woman and therefore she must be some sort of closer misogynist or fetishist or whore or pedophile. I don’t know guys I don’t think you care about her potential harm and more about her being a tranny….

Is there a real possibility that a white person who had access to capital and has employees is racist? Yes, thats the most common form of exploitation of people of color and the global south, it is actually a widespread issue in web animation that people don’t really like to comment on because that would put a moral value on their hobby. Plus she could easily create a racist work environment and they would actively benefit from it since of the racist audiences. Is it because she is a trans woman who’s biggest offense is being a trans woman? Probably not but who knows at this point!
