Israel basically disabled the majority of Iran’s air defense months ago, Russia has enough on its plate with Ukraine. Iran is basically a chihuahua barking and acting tough when it can’t actually do shit

Certain VAs. So saying fan support isn’t important for a VA strike is VERY short sighted and overall a harmful stance to take

Steelworkers are essential and we as a society would go back to the Stone Age without them. entertainment is quite replaceable and fan support is one of your leverages in this strike, no one ever goes “gosh I just love Matt from the steel mill” while looking at a metal rod, a lot of people like-

“No you gotta listen to the VAs and what THEY want, not the YouTubers”
And the moment a VA says SAG sent threatening letters you throw her under the bus

I could be dumber since you clearly don’t fucking know what Zionism is, have you even EVER ONCE IN YOUR LIFE asked an Israeli person what Zionism is? Would you listen to a Republican if they explained BLM to you? Would u listen to Elon musk if he explained transgender people???

Sure, but I still believe that an American union shouldn’t have a say in who a Chinese game dev hires for English VA work, the same way I wouldn’t want a Chinese union to decide who an American game dev can hire for a Chinese dub
March 31, 2025 at 9:19 PM
I’m trying to defend English speaking actors outside of the US who would be negatively affected by SAG’s attempt to make hoyo games into union projects, and hoyo cuz they should not be manipulated by foreign unions into who they’re allowed and not allowed to hire
March 31, 2025 at 9:10 PM
If SAG had a search engine of who’s in the union I’d gladly use it, the VAs haven’t exactly been advertising if they’re in SAG or not other than Paimon’s VA who is scabbing
March 31, 2025 at 9:07 PM
And does equity have the same rule about not working non union projects? Is it taken seriously? Cuz SAG has the no non union work for members and yet it was broken by a HUGE chunk of their VAs
March 31, 2025 at 8:58 PM
If the goal of AI is to save money for the game devs (which is shitty, fuck AI), why has hoyo taken the more expensive route of hiring new VAs across their games?
March 31, 2025 at 8:56 PM
But most of the cast is already in a union AND breaking their unions rules by auditioning and joining a non union project, some of them have been in genshin since its release in 2020 and instead of replacing the VAs with AI, they’ve either waited for them to be available or hire new VAs
March 31, 2025 at 8:56 PM
Are there any prominent unions in the United States other than SAG-AFTRA for actors? Where they feel so comfortable in their position as a guild for actors that they demand a $3K entry fee? Where they can blacklist anyone who doesn’t follow by their rules? That sounds more like a mafia than a union
March 31, 2025 at 8:48 PM
Ok I’ll apologize for that, I’m sorry
But it’s still obvious that SAG is trying to monopolize the VA industry, unions are good but only one union being prominent for actors is leading to predatory practices

Marvel is an American IP smart guy, it was most likely given to netease by Disney to make the game, genshin is hoyo’s game and their own IP
March 31, 2025 at 8:37 PM
That shit might work in the US but hoyo ISNT an American company, maybe you missed it getting yelled at you. Stop trying to force foreign companies to abide by American standards, it’s scummy, and hoyo has SPENT more money to hire VAs outside the US instead of wait out the strike
March 31, 2025 at 8:31 PM
Unions are good but it’s OBVIOUS that SAG is trying to be a monopoly in the VA industry,
March 31, 2025 at 8:27 PM
And another question
Why tf does SAG think it’s okay to have their actors audition and try to infiltrate non union projects, try to convince them to turn union, and once they don’t get their way, strike said non union game dev. This is FROM SAG WEBSITE, two faced manipulative behavior
March 31, 2025 at 8:27 PM
And theyve hired different studios after Formosa proved what a shit studio they are, they don’t have to hire SAG actors, but it’s obvious SAG wants their VAs in hoyo games after they’ve proven what a cash cow hoyo games are.
March 31, 2025 at 8:27 PM
That doesn’t excuse the fact that SAG is trying to strong arm hoyo into being a union project, the game devs have a say in what they do with their business, including who they hire, and foreign VAs have a say if they want to be in the guild or not, VAs shouldn’t be forced to pay 3k as an entry fee
March 31, 2025 at 8:17 PM
Western studios and, quite honestly, SAG themselves, instead of bullying foreign VAs and game devs
March 31, 2025 at 8:10 PM
To SAG rules and bully non American VAs into being in their guild.
In a perfect world generative AI wouldn’t exist, but unfortunately it does, in China and Japan actors have AI protections, if American VAs want better protections they gotta start bullying politicians-
March 31, 2025 at 8:10 PM
They CANNOT turn their projects into union ones, by Chinese law, otherwise they face serious legal repercussions, but you crybabies can’t face not being the center of the world, hoyo doesn’t owe sag shit, SAG however owes everyone a LOT of answers for why they’re trying to force foreign game devs-
