Important news for cosplay and fan creators!

So @/estarguarstia on twitter recently emailed the folks at the SAGAFTRA on how fan creators/influencers can support the strike (also what should aspiring members follow to not impact their future membership) and here’s what they said.

Ok guys got a response https://t.co/o5UPzZJJDB pic.twitter.com/oONBMzXRiN — Estar Guars Tia ➡️ NYCC (@estarguarstia) July 16, 2023ALT

“We are asking folks not to do cosplay if it would promote struck productions. Yes, you can promote comics, books, and games, as this is not struck work. That being said, performers are being asked to refrain from promotiong struck work, including past productions that would have been struck if produced today.”

@/KlaudiaSays clarifies further what this means as they’re a producer/writer

YES. NO FAN ART. NO FANFICTION. THAT IS MARKETING AT THIS POINT. i know not everyone in the industry agrees but those of us in fan studies and community dev know that is a part of it wholesale. YES. THE POINT IS SOCIAL MEDIA HAS MADE ANYTHING PROMOTION. https://t.co/i9WM1Igizj — klaudia amenábar (@kaludiasays) July 17, 2023ALT

Furthermore here’s what SAGAFTRA has told deadline news

SAG-AFTRA Can Bar Non-Member Social Media Influencers From Guild Admission If They Promote For Studios During Strike https://t.co/THIXnYtaD9 pic.twitter.com/BP2xu9FC9u — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) July 17, 2023ALT

From the article

“And even if a social media influencer isn’t getting paid to push on social media for a studio/streamer, it’s best not to do so, even as a fan. “Influencers should refrain from posting on social media about any struck work regardless of whether they are posting organically or in a paid capacity,” reads Sagaftrastrike.org.”


So please support the WGA and SAGAFTRA strikers by not doing promo for stopped works.

Here is a current list of struck companies

And here’s the strike FAQ.

SAG-AFTRA Strike

While yes the strike does specify not cosplaying for struck companies under their “influencer” page, it also does say non-members should not render services to struck companies either if they plan to be members in the future. And from the emails from SAG-AFTRA with suggestions I linked above as well, maybe just don’t do free promo for struck companies right now.

This is about paid promotion. THIS IS ABOUT PAID PROMOTION. This is about influencers being paid to promote productions. This is why the SAG-AFTRA site talks about promotional campaigns. 

This is not about fans doing fan stuff for each other for free. PLEASE stop spreading the misinformation that this applies to shit like fanfic and hobby cosplay. “Promoting” is something that you are paid or compensated to do. 

The cosplay/con thing is less clear, but I think the point is “you cannot participate on behalf of or to promote companies we are striking against.” Just going to a con in cosplay is not participating “on behalf of” bc the company doesn’t know you from fuckin adam.

From the Variety article about this:

Can I do cosplay?

If you’re not in SAG-AFTRA, go right ahead (subject to the exception for future union influencers above). If you are in SAG-AFTRA, look in a mirror and ask yourself: Am I promoting struck work? Then no.

Are you an influencer working under the SAG-AFTRA Influencer Agreement, or hoping to in the future? Don’t cosplay for struck work. Are you just a cosplayer doing this for fun? You are 100% free to cosplay whatever you want.

And from the SAG-AFTRA site, a definition of “Influencer”, emphasis mine:

Influencers are popular content creators who have amassed a social media following that they capitalize on by making deals with advertisers to promote brands through the Influencer’s creative content which they distribute through their social media feeds.

• Influencers exhibit their content through personal feeds on platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, SnapChat, Pinterest, etc.

• Followers can range from a few hundred to a hundred million

• This provides a “one stop shop” for advertisers:  The Influencer provides performance, stills, posts, production, creative, editing, directing, lighting, distribution, etc.

• Agreements between Influencers and advertisers vary significantly. There are no set rates and other terms can be very different as well.

If you are not an influencer, you are in the clear. And most of us? Are not influencers. Just having a ko-fi doesn’t make you an influencer. Having a patreon doesn’t make you an influencer. Being an advertisement venue is part of being an influencer, and if you don’t provide that, you’re not an influencer by this definition. Obviously a lot of us would want to refrain from stuff like cosplay in solidarity and that's great, but like. There's no reason to tell people the unions are asking people to stop engaging in fandom, essentially. Because they're not.

[ID] Klaudia Amenábar @kaludiasays on twitter says “in all seriousness SAD asking for no cosplay of characters from struck productions the week of SDCC is a really smart move. if people actually follow it in solidarity it will be a REAL disruption these companies don't want bc they rely on fans doing 90% of marketing nowadays.

#what if people who were going to cosplay a struck character instead dressed all the same #like maybe they dress as picket signs or 404 error scenes #or they all do the holes cut in a sheet ghost costume #imagine a sea of 404 errors

This was the first I've heard of this but apparently SAG-AFTRA would like cosplayers not to dress up as characters from Live Action media

Even before the strike half the big companies werent doing big panels there anyway, relying on some actor promotion, their owned conventions and events, and [caps] FANS. [/caps] fans creating disruption as well to help the workers would be very visible as well.

and if it's for months and several conventions, and creators pivot their content away for long periods of time, it'll really make their pockets hurt bc they [caps] BARELY [/caps] pay for owned marketing anymore and again, rely on fans. [caps] DRAIN THEM DRY. [/caps]

Am I allowed to promote struck work on social media as a fan and not in a paid capacity?

Influencers should refrain from posting on social media about any struck work regardless of whether they are posting organically or in a paid capacity.

Can I attend conventions as a fan as long as I am not being paid to promote anything?

You cannot participate in conventions such as Comic-Con on behalf of, or to promote, companies we are striking against- this includes appearances, panels, fan meet and greets, etc. involving struck work. You may participate in a convention in ways that are wholly independent of characters from struck work or sponsorship by struck companies. If you have any questions relating to this distinction, please contact SAGAFTRAstrike@sagaftra.org. [end ID]

y'all know she's literally @elphabaforpresidentofgallifrey right

elphabaforpresidentofgallifrey

yes hi these are my tweets!

a few things to note:

  1. IT IS NOT JUST LIVE ACTION MEDIA. Animated media is written and animated by members of TAG (The Animation Guild) normally in the US (which is a part of IATSE) but most of the voice acting is done by SAG members. animated US-produced work is ALSO involved here.
  2. The guidelines for what influencers and fans should do are sort of unclear, and the FAQs on the SAG website that the screenshot is of have come after people like Kari (estarguarstia) and many others have asked several clarifying questions. The site is helpful and clear on some stuff, but there's still some ambiguity, simply because the line between content creator/influencer/fan/fanwork is basically nonexistent. If you're in the union, there's very specific guidelines - do NOT take brand deals and shit like that. If you're Not in the union but want to be maybe in the future, same deal. But if you're neither or unsure, or maybe just a fan but realize shit, everything I post online about my blorbos whether it is fanart or cosplay I do at SDCC is considered FREE REAL ESTATE MARKETING for these companies, what counts, it's kind of up in the air. There's no hard and fast rules for you, but if you wanna act in solidarity, personally I'd say just only do fanwork either privately (share amongst friends, in discords, etc) for struck work, or pivot to only talking about other things you like online/in public for now. (See a cool meme about a movie coming out? Share it with your friend in DMs rather than reblogging/retweeting, save your fics to post later, some shit). These are just suggestions from me personally, because I have literally WORKED at these companies developing fandoms for profit.
  3. Media/journalists and critics are still encouraged to keep reviewing. There's a pledge and disclaimer people are being asked to use when talking about struck work, but that's it. This can get complicated because many video creators and podcasters are also independent critics and entertainment journalists, which is why people are figuring it out on their own, but if you see a publication continue as usual, know that this is allowed.
  4. Once again - the unions do NOT WANT YOU TO BOYCOTT MOVIES AND SHOWS. Please do NOT cancel your streaming services, PLEASE keep seeing movies in theaters. Talk about new and old movies and shows that SAG and the WGA have worked on with your friends, recommend them in group chats and discords and with coworkers and family, etc. Obviously this kind of creates a problem where without the free fan marketing all of us do online, a show might suffer - but that's exactly what the companies have created, because they have DUPED us into thinking it is OUR JOB to do free work to promote their shows, when they should be marketing their shows correctly and accurately (Like hiring people like me. I lost my job last year from a studio in pre-strike anticipation layoffs. I really say all of this from personal experience).

Right now, a lot of creators are still trying to figure all this out, and you're not a bad person for doing one or the other thing, but I do urge people to think about it because especially at an event like a big con, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT. (much like how your posts on a social media platform comprise of the product that company sells to advertisers!) Cosplay especially, even if you're doing it as a hobby, even if you don't post any pictures of yourself, other people are gonna take pictures of you, and the con has permission to do it just by you buying a ticket. You're doing free marketing whether you like it or not. (Assigned Influencer At Logged On).

there's plenty of other great stuff to cosplay, make fanart and fic and memes and jokes about that they've said is ok - books, comics, games, fiction and TTRPG podcasts (unless they're WGA or SAG productions), your favorite youtubers/streamers (although they may be influencers in the union too they may have different contracts not with studios, it can depend), music, any non-US produced TV film like anime, kdramas, British TV, etc. (yes, doctor who is about to dominate everywhere bc it is not struck work lol).

I recently learned that the Star-Spangled Banner flag (as in, the flag flown over Fort McHenry that inspired the Francis Scott Key poem) has fifteen stripes instead of thirteen, because the tradition at the time was to increase the number of stripes along with the number of stars as more states joined the union.

I assume this tradition ended because of cowardice.

I've prepared several options to revive the tradition:

The most direct approach. Looks vaguely pink from a distance.

I like how this one emphasizes how much more America there is now than there used to be.

I think plaid fits nicely, too. As a bonus, a lot of existing tablecloths could be converted to this design with just the addition of the canton.

Honestly, I just spent too much time making this one not to post it.
