Okay. I’m gonna be entirely clear. People who are mad at an actor for taking another actor’s job during a strike they were actively participating in? Are not “defending SAG” They are watching a person they love be treated like shit and as a community they spoke out. An actor. A person. Not SAG. - ThreadSky

They are watching a person they love be treated like shit and as a community they spoke out.

An actor. A person.

Not SAG.

Not denying the Kinich guy scabbing, but several (very self-serving) people have handled the situation completely poorly.

Genshin fandom is absolutely batshit and Hoyo has way more flaws than SAG, but dogpiling and going through social media posts and etc ain't it and isn't required to defend SAG.

They sound like they're defending SAG super hard. And it's BECAUSE how they conducted themselves IN PUBLIC. People are upset because they see all these big union VAs jumping on a smaller non-union VA who didn't know about anything, who was based in Japan. You got blocked by Ororon's VA, dude.

And Kayli is still working on Nikke and even Corina has been working this entire time, that makes them scabs. So people think it's hypocritical... cause while Corina defends while she's still working. Jacob is a father and husband who also needs to work.

the-damoiselle.bsky.social•5 days ago

Anyways, we'll just see how this all goes but people who weren't aware of the entire situation are now heavily digging into the info and if there is one thing I know about gamers is that when they want to know something, they can be freaking FBI level investigators. GL with that.

First of all, Corina is NB so THEY/THEM. Second. So you agree that people who willingly cross a picket line are considered scabs?

mintcarousel.bsky.social•3 days ago

key info for you: genshin is not legally struck, so jacob takanashi did not scab legally (but he did scab, in spirit). now the question is: is nikke a struck project or was there a collective work stoppage like for hoyo games?

cctakato.bsky.social•5 days ago

Y'all don't think you're not jumping on VAs and harassing people?

kitnathaniels.bsky.social•5 days ago

When someone asks you a question like that because they want clarification, and you not only refuse to answer but immediately block them, that doesn't reflect well on you because it shows you can't take criticism.

Also, being blocked for that reason is not an own. Not sure why you think it is.

It’s also a thread he *voluntarily* entered. We were talking about his weird behavior and he rushed in and commented “WOOO HTOWN!” like we were all goofing around.

Despite people claiming he’s been the only professional person here, his behavior has been specifically unprofessional and erratic.

kitnathaniels.bsky.social•5 days ago

Exactly. When you enter a conversation to say something like that, it raises questions about what you're doing and why. And if you're not ready to answer those questions, why are you doing it?

At best, he was lied to about the situation. At worst, he's full of shit.

montypla.bsky.social•5 days ago

I dunno how to explain to you that you don't have to live in the US to know not to scab.

And Jacob did know. He has ties to the US VA community still. There's no way he couldn't know. Nathan lied to cover for a scab and got pissy when called out on it.

littlekuriboh.bsky.social•5 days ago

I wanna be clear - I think it’s entirely plausible Nathan was *lied to*

That’s why I was hoping he’d explain himself.

montypla.bsky.social•5 days ago

Blocking you when asked doesn't inspire me to give him the benefit of the doubt though, tbh.

And either way, Jacob had to know and hasn't acted like someone who didn't know at all...

littlekuriboh.bsky.social•5 days ago

Telling people *in a random Twitter reply* that the dude didn’t know about the strike and then not following up or explaining and just refusing to answer any questions?

Yeah that suggests he’s intentionally hiding stuff at this point.

raisoue.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not only are you lying, SAG should be defended.

shedvolans.bsky.social•6 days ago

I don't understand why the concept of scabs being worthy of condemnation is such a contentious topic.

Of course people are gonna be mad at a scab, they're undermining why everyone is sacrificing work in the first place. Obviously no one should go too far but very, VERY few have.

genpoe.bsky.social•5 days ago

most of the contention I've seen personally has been from people who are anti union anyway. lots of "uh well they're not working, what did they THINK would happen"

drrehaminator.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah I'm reading the replies to things like this and I'm really wondering how and when we landed on "scabs are just little guys be nice to them, Actually"

virtuecry.bsky.social•6 days ago

Scabs are traitors

coalsavoie.bsky.social•6 days ago

Let me just say, as a non union actor who has a lot of grievances against SAG right now (literally nothing to do with this current controversy, it's an old wound), this is exactly where I at least am coming from.

This has exploded beyond what it started out as...

coalsavoie.bsky.social•6 days ago

...which is, as a community, bearing down on Jacob for taking the job while the original actor, John (a person who I like, have worked with, and think is a good dude), was striking.

I. Don't. Care about how legit the strike is in the eyes of SAG. I personally think SAG can go choke on a big one...

coalsavoie.bsky.social•6 days ago

...Union, Fi-core, or NU, we're all very much standing in the middle of traffic here. And I feel like, from the outside looking in, SAG likes to forget about the little guys...

coalsavoie.bsky.social•6 days ago

...What Jacob did is allow John to get hit by the bus. I don't care what the naysayers think about this tactic. We are supposed to protect each other.

We don't fucking scab.

littlekuriboh.bsky.social•6 days ago

I guarantee you that not one person who lashed out at Jacob was doing it thinking about SAG.

coalsavoie.bsky.social•6 days ago

I've been watching the subreddits and, for whatever reason, they seem to have selective outrage at union actors or anyone associated with SAG.

To the point where it feels like me, as a non-union unaffiliated actor, am being white-knighted.

It's gross.
