KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!
And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!
We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥

CLARIFICATION :
The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.
They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY
So spread this around
They can be texted. They can be called.

Does this mean that we can get the English Dub of Genshin and HSR back 💔💔💔
We have reached a tentative agreement with the video game bargaining group, which includes some of the largest video game companies in the world, and we are hopeful that our video game strike will be suspended in the coming days. #SagAftraStrong ow.ly/wZzx50W6Lwv

Jacob Takanashi? The guy who I just recently learned actually took his wife's name, and his unmarried name that I will not reveal here is of very Irish/English origin, that everybody is just assuming is an innocent Japanese guy and nobody is correcting it? That Jacob?

Oh, look! Netflix is looking to accelerate the destruction of the entire dubbing industry (not just voice acting).
Great stuff 🙄😒

Read this great thread.
I'd like to add that an important part of the reason Ethovox exists (with three union veterans on its board) is specifically to put the lie to many of the studios' false claims.
"We can't track how much your voice was used"
"Ethovox can, why can't you?"
etc.

"Why is SAG-AFTRA making deals with AI companies like Narrativ and Replica and Ethovox?! You're shaking hands with the devil! NO AI EVER!!!"
Lemme explain: "No AI ever" is a stance SAG-AFTRA legally can't take. AI is a "mandatory subject of bargaining," which is a double edged sword: (🧵)

Okay sure, SAG isn’t in Japan- but there is no way that Jacob hasn’t heard about a strike that’s been going on for almost an entire year (it’s been 7 months since it started)

and for a large portion of actors- the union card is a benchmark of pride. it marks a huge right of passage. it’s scary and uncertain- yes. but it’s also a chance to believe in and bank on yourself. that you’re ready for a bigger arena than you’ve ever competed in ever before.

it’s like going to college, training, buying the recording equipment, DAW subscriptions, cameras and lights- all professions, all art, requires investment in tools of the trade. we save, we do payment plans, whatever we must, because we can’t all be nepo babies.

the thing about the union contract is, when it changes, it often sets the standard for the non-u contracts of indie projects as well. when protections improve on the union front, it raises the bar all around, which is good for everybody. there’s a reason for that:

~when a contract is violated, and litigation is called, it sets precedent in a legal sense. and arguments that were unfamiliar before are settled in/ out of court, which are then used as an example in future disputes. so if justice is served for one of us, it is served for us all

but the first cases are crucial, to set that standard. and if it’s one actor against a billion dollar corp? almost impossible to win. now, if you have the union legal department at your back, which is paid for by dues- that one actor now stands a chance.

the union is not a gang. and it doesn’t have ANY SAY AT ALL in who is or isn’t cast in what game. it’s meant to be a resource. does it need a bit of an overhaul? yes. i 100% think it has to evolve with the times. but it isn’t the enemy and it can’t keep you from your dreams.

and yes. you’re right. not everybody wants or needs to join the union. and funny enough, often times, when someone wants to work a union job without joining, there ends up being a way for them to do so, somehow.

if a project thinks you’re the one for the role and no one else can do it, they’ll get you. the only thing to stop them would be you saying no or a legal non compete, like the voice of Burger King can’t be the voice of McDonald’s. but if you’re the one, they’ll make it happen.

the need for the agent will often come with the opportunity to sign with one. the need to join the union will often show up with the means to do so. but it’s amorphous, organic, and unpredictable. there are no guarantees, even though i wish there were.

new actors often ask “how do i get an agent?” “how do i get to audition for xyz game/ anime?” and yes, “how do i join the union?” and usually any answer i give will end up being different than what happens for them because no two journeys are the same.

so you pick up each piece of equipment organically in your hero’s journey. they become available and necessary at the proper times for you. mic, daw, agent, manager, union card etc. they mark how far you’ve come, and they’re the tools to use as you make your way forward.

sometimes, some of the weapons in a game are locked until we reach a higher level. and it can be really frustrating, because who doesn’t want to use fireball at level 1?
