truly do not understand the "I hope these pieces of media get CANCELLED and PULLED and UNMADE" response on here to the WGA strike. do you really think that the writers who have ALREADY WRITTEN these pieces of media would like to see the thing they've poured their time and energy into get cancelled/pulled/unmade in response to asking that their labor be valued at the level it should be?? does that not seem like a retaliatory action from the studios to you?? have you not seen the stuff circulating about hulu and disney pulling media when they merge in direct retaliation to the strike??? have you seen the writers' responses to the shows that hbomax pulled last year about how much that shit sucks and disrespects the work they put into these pieces of media?? like it's different for things that haven't been written yet obviously but the number of people I've seen on here saying that it's good, actually, for things that are already written to get cancelled and pulled in response to the strike is honestly baffling

#some of you have never been on strike in a field where you're asking for adequate compensation for something you've produced and it shows #when my union walked out and when we strike in the fall we're not seeing retaliatory cancellations of courses as a positive that's for sure #we've already written the materials and created the course why would it be good for that labor to go further un/underappreciated
