CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it’s part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators

Transcript: “This might sound like a hot take, but I feel like the Internet’s obsession with uniqueness is causing legitimate brain rot in some people.
There’s no reason why something like mental illness, for example, should be turned into this commodity where you like, get internet points or social currency by being different.
It’s like, by trying to break the stigma, we’ve just come full circle, where now nobody knows what the hell any of these words actually mean.
So when you explain what a panic attack is, people are like "Oh, like that’s like actually really scary.” & “Not something I just experienced when I couldn’t get Taylor Swift tickets”.
And I know this is going to piss some people off so just brace yourself, but I see it the most in fellow white people - Especially people that are like upper-middle-class.
Look, I’m just gonna say it: whiteness gives us access to everything but oppression. That’s the one thing we can’t colonize. So what do we do? We turn oppression into social currency - Because we know if there’s one thing we can do, it’s make money off of something that doesn’t belong to us.
And before the people that grew up on a cul-de-sac start to get offended in my comments, actually listen to what I’m saying: Don’t intentionally misconstrue it because you want to be oppressed. Just be happy and lucky you aren’t.“
