"The VAs consented therefore it's ok!" Except the alternative is getting fired or the company just stealing your voice anyway. Forced coercion is not consent. This is why we have/need union contracts. Fuck AI

HUMAN VOICE ACTORS

oh no starbucks's biggest sales day of the year is this week... 😏

Now more than ever we need to vote with our wallets and use our voices to protest against companies using AI. If you (like me) don't want companies to use AI art then stand by that. Don't buy their products or promote them on your YouTube channel. Demand they actually HIRE artists.

Moving the goal post and whataboutisms are a hell of a drug. But when the AI first gacha game company tells you exactly who they are? Believe them.

Some pics with voice actors also from Anime Pasadena!

Great signed print I got at Anime Pasadena from the incredible @bendiskin.bsky.social Thanks again!

Ugh just saw my favorite local café selling birthday cards with AI generated art. Yuck. Not going to buy from them ever again 😔

SAG-AFTRA stands in solidarity with the IWGB Game Workers Union exercising their right to organize following reports of union-busting at Rockstar. Our members’ union performances on Rockstar games are an integral part of the success and legacy of games like Grand Theft Auto.

I'm really disappointed with how many people I see playing this game

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

One last thing. To all the losers who still refuse to believe the words of industry professionals (with evidence btw) yet blindly and gladly trust the slop from no-nothing dramatubers and grifters?

The left: People should be able to live healthy, happy lives. The right: Millions must die for no reason.

LET'S GET LOUD! 🗣️ On Starbucks's busiest sales day of the year, workers are holding rallies in 16 cities. And we need YOU there! When customers and community members speak out, the company listens. Let's stand together against corporate greed and union-busting! RSVP: bit.ly/redcuprallies

Hey to the next person who makes a YouTube video because their feelings were hurt after I called them out on their hypocrisy and harassment. Maybe get some decent audio at least?

Something I really liked about Pokemon Legends Z-A is that most of the Pokemon who got new megas were the ones that really needed them or at least were more deserving of them. Also, most of the designs look so much better than XY and ORAS.

All Voice Actors on Blue! We’re officially casting the voice of Agent THUNDER (yes, this gentledog below)! Show us your stealth voice, your heroic bark or “I just stole a toy and feel fabulous” charm 😉 Audition lines + details👇 docs.google.com/document/d/1... #VoiceActing #VoiceActor #Casting

Seeing multiple video game companies either union bust, fire their workers for AI, or both has been truly infuriating. Video games are made by the most talented humans imaginable. So to see all their hard labor be discarded for bad tech and greed makes me want to punch something.

As a former barista I'll tell you, people take red cup day VERY SERIOUSLY

(buy local coffee)

Time to get your coffee elsewhere folks. Support striking workers always.

Don't cross a picket line. 💪

I'm glad Zohran Mamdani won but the fact that very notable Democrats DIDN"T support him was ridiculous and disgusting. He's the exact type of candidate we want! And Dems were just like "nah he's too woke" WTF!

Today was a very good day if you're not a piece of shit

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, your decision today hinges on a very simple question that goes right to the soul of what America is all about: should a man be allowed, out of the goodness of his heart, to give a delicious sandwich to a member of our law enforcement community?

Centrist liberals are forever that one Seymour Skinner meme

CHENEY'S DEAAAAD! HOOHOOHOOO HA HA HA !

I really hate everything right now.

Coca-Cola is cringe.

Hi! I'm one of the millions not getting SNAP benefits this month. Because of that + the fact that I (not a member of SAG-AFTRA) survived the strike by burning my savings rather than working SL6 or NU…my finances are *rough* but not *immediately dire.* I'm open to work with clients of all sizes. ✌🏻

Why does anyone even still like Harry Potter? There's gotta be better non-transphobic wizard stuff out in the world. That IP should've died as soon as JK showed everyone what a TERF she is. Fuck this franchise and fuck all transphobes.

Guess where I got my coffee today? Hint: it wasn't from the chain with the crappy mermaid logo 😏☕

Even after everything Hoyoverse has shown and done to prove to everyone they are a AI first company and actively hurting multiple different artists. The fandom still refuses to accept the voice actors were completely in the right to strike.

It’s hard not to feel discouraged these days. That’s it.

Did I come to LA because I solely wanted to act? Or did I move to prove a bunch of internet trolls wrong by hopefully one day becoming a "real voice actor." Yes.

Hey you know what would've protected all the Voice Actors working on Hoyoverse projects from nonconsensual AI uses? A union contract.

Happy Halloween everyone! Always remember: companies that union bust are complete scumbags!! Don't give them your money when you could be supporting their striking workers instead :) 🦇🎃

Spotify is cringe.

“Never pay a human again” was always the goal.

The thing democrats didn't do was fight the misinformation affecting the narrative that all they talked about was queer issues and climate. Instead, they stopped talking about them to try to counter the narrative, and the narrative persisted. Almost like capitulation isn't a winning strategy!

Hay it’s me the little dude who lives in your phone who somehow finds your art and normally shares it, hope yea having a good one and just enjoying the process best you can. But don’t feel bad for having a brake and chilling maybe enjoy something outside your art just for the heck of it.

if you see this post, your actions are: - if you have a spare buck, give it to Wikipedia, then repost this - if you don't have a spare buck, just repost your action is mandatory for the world's best source of information to survive

I hope every dramatuber who shat on the VA strike to defend hoyoverse gets their channel deleted, their reputation tarnished, and their voice and influence completely wiped from the internet get a life

he swim
