I just saw a post implying that Tumblr is doing scab work by promoting OnePiece during the strike because ~Tumblr accepted money to make this promotion and that’s against SAG-AFTRA rules~
the strike prohibits union writers and actors–and writers and actors who may someday like to join the union–from engaging in and promoting their work in movies, television, and streaming (they can actually still do stage, commercials, and even soap operas, because those are different unions)
Tumblr is not part of or planning to be part of the writer or actor unions
what Tumblr is doing is just regular advertising
if regular advertising were against the strike, then there would not have been any promotion at all allowed for any movie over the last two months
I mean, yes, I completely understand being irritated with how this One Piece promotion is going
but Tumblr isn’t breaking the rules of a union, which it’s not now and never will be part of, by running annoying ads
Just saw a different post where that same person added that same take again, and this time I saw that the notes were full of people very firmly correcting them
but then I saw someone saying, more or less, “Yeah, they’re not crossing the picket line, but they are violating the fact that you must disclose when you’re doing paid advertising!”
and, once again, that’s not how that works, either–the rules about stating when you’re doing a promotion for which you were compensated applies to individuals, especially in social media posts that may otherwise give the appearance of someone just casually chatting with their besties about something new they tried
Tumblr is basically a corporate media entity running commercials and billboards
which by their very nature are known to have been paid for
You don’t watch the SuperBowl then report the NFL to the FTC for not having a disclaimer on every commercial and stadium-side sign about being a paid promotion.
Like, yes, I absolutely get being irritated by this particular advertising campaign. But that doesn’t mean there’s something morally reprehensible at the core of it. It’s just annoying. You don’t need any deeper reason to dislike it.
God damn people really do keep looking for “virtuous” reasons to dislike things
Wait hold on Tumblr girlies have been carrying that show on netflix for well over 10 years now and the guy responsible for it hasn’t gotten a GOD DAMN DIME?????
Nor the actors, writers, set people, tech folks, and anyone else involved that made it happen. This - this is why they’re angry. This is why they deserve a new contract!
