    Off topic: Are we really that far, that something as mundane as “Goddamn” needs to be censored? Really?

          would be cool to have an option to auto-replace cursing for the children and sensitive types while allowing those who enjoy spicy language to communicate freely.

    I’m so glad that the organizing and everyone supporting each other. Seems that their is a new push (at least in the USA which it is desperately needed) to unionize and it’s becoming increasingly harder to ignore or fire employees who wish to do so even if the punishments usually comes much later after the fact. ( looking at you Starbucks)

    WAG can go fuck themselves for stealing the role of Angel Dust from Michael Kovach who has poured so much time and effort into bringing the character to life.

    But here comes WAG and stronghands away what he has worked so hard for, something that could have been a big career break for him, because he’s not part of WAG without offering to onboard him.

    Creating that level of injustice under the guise of protecting voice actors is one of the most disgusting things I’ve witnessed in my life.

    Michael Kovach is a saint for being graceful about it and having the restraint not to go nuclear on social media.

    WAG is not a union. It’s just another ultra corrupt Hollywood clique that fucks over upcoming independent creators. I sincerely hope WGA is blacklisted by every studio until every member is forced to leave and it doesn’t exist anymore.
