If you are not an influencer and maybe want to reshuffle your cosplay schedule in solidarity that’s great, but you’re not under any requirements to refrain.
And it’s always valid to cosplay <X Character> with a picket sign, studios will hate it.
At first Netflix said, come write for us. We’ll save your cancelled shows and write about whatever niche story you want. Our algorithm says people will watch it!
Then a few years later they said, regardless of our promises or contract obligations we are cancelling shows after two seasons without telling anyone. Turns out no matter how loved a show is, we get less subscriptions after the second season.
How many subscriptions did we bring you? Netflix won’t say.
So writers started writing two season shows. Just give us two seasons, Netflix. Like you promised.
Then Netflix said, oops sorry! Turns out your show didn’t premiere at #1 and the views in the first day weren’t what we wanted so we’re cancelling your second season.
What were the numbers? How many people watched our show? Netflix doesn’t say.
Then, they did something extra special. They started taking shows and splitting their first season into two halves. Inside Job was not two seasons. It was one season split in half.
Oops! Sorry! The second half of your first season didn’t do as well as the first half, so now your show is cancelled!
Why? How many people? How much money? These companies are making cash hand over fist and they refuse to tell people the truth: people loved your show. Loved it. But some corpo exec wanted an infinite money making machine. Do you know how long shows are in production for before you watch them? Years. Like, 5+, even 10+ years. And Netflix gives it less than a week before they decide whether you’re getting cancelled.
friends, i am afraid that “i want more weird freak art, but ONLY if it’s not weird PORN” is a completely incoherent stance. you are not obligated to like the weird porn that is sexualizing fucked up shit, but if you want more weird art made by freaks, you need to create an environment where people feel comfortable making transgressive and shocking art that upsets people, and that just so happens to include weird porn and sexualizing fucked up things as a category, like, by definition!
like i cannot stress enough that you cannot pick and choose which transgressive things can exist in your artistic sphere based on if they upset and shock you or not… that’s undermining the entire point of artistic spheres that encourage transgression!
(link is to a series of tweets, which include the original poster of the screenshot directly asking SAG-AFTRA what the rules are for cosplayers who want to support the strike)
The link suggests those rules are for influencers and content creators ONLY, so those who would presumably profit from doing promotions.
That is, the promo could be considered work, and thus crossing the line.
From what I understand, that FAQ is for the SAG-AFTRA members
Cosplayers can still cosplay as long as they’re not being paid to do so by a struck company/studio. Cosplay for fun. Cosplay for free. Cosplay the characters on the picketline.
