Hey if writers are so easy to replace with reality tv and computers, why are producers contorting themselves and the system to try to secretly keep them working

This SCREAMS how badly they need writers and how inevitably the writers are going to win
“We don’t care if you strike we have a strike proof five year streaming plan but please please please risk your career to secretly sell out your colleagues for way less money than you deserve, we’re so fucked if we don’t finish Alvin and The Chipmunks 7: Chipperoni Squeakzza”
When this is over they would be fools not to hire me for Chipmunks 7 but until that day THEY CANNOT HAVE ME.
It’s been less than a month and producers are literally trying to secretly smuggle writers out of the country and pay them over venmo, the writers are going to win. #WGAStrong

I would never bring my family to a city as dangerous as New York, not after hearing about those cats breaking the fourth wall and prancing directly into the audience
Don’t get me started on the opera that literally has a phantom in it
No wonder the ice cream is locked up for gods sake I saw an old ad for beetlejuice

It is astonishing that someone can be writing at this level of pay and exposure about an issue that they understand this poorly. Everyone involved should be embarrassed. It would be like if National Geographic paid me to imagine how lobsters reproduce without googling it first.
Important context here: I grew up in a religious household and was never told how baby lobsters are made.
I’m betting it’s wild.

Every bad boss I ever had told me I was just lucky to be there and there were a million people out there who would be happy to do the job for less. If that sounds familiar to your own life, support creative professionals, especially if you are or want to become one. #WGAStrong
If you do want to have a creative career someday, tagging studios on twitter to tell them you’ll work cheaper than the writers who are striking is shooting yourself in the foot on multiple levels for a gambit that wasn’t going to work to begin with.
If corporations did what randos tweeted at them I’d be eating discontinued McDonald’s products in my secret condo at Mario World

Today, a total stranger, not in the biz, found out I was on strike and said to me, “The arrogance of that man.”
I’m not gonna blow up her spot, but it’s possible the average person outside this conflict is becoming aware of it and choosing a side.
Also just an explosion of general interest and awareness in behind the scenes of show business. When I was a kid, the average rabid Batman or Star Wars fan would not be doing kremlinology about studio executives with their friends.

“Writing is bad now” are you watching less
Half the internet is just one second animations showcasing individual lines of scripted dialog that were so instantly powerful that they rewired our brains and changed the way we talk to each other permanently.
