It makes sense that non-SAG actors acting would be scabbing, and it makes sense that SAG actors doung promotions of their acting would be crossing the picket, but It feels pretty weird, strategically, to me to see SAG asserting that e.g. cosplayers should not cosplay disney chars

      i just feel like the power of the strike is in members denying their labor, and the collision of "secondary labor" (promotion) with "non members" is likely unintuitive to a lot of cosplayers/influencers to the extent that it seems difficult to convince people to adhere to

        @JeffAHamilton I thought that turned out to be false?

          @JeffAHamilton (referring to the cosplay thing, sorry that was ambiguous)

              @JeffAHamilton Huh. I'm not sure that's very clear to me. I might be being biased by what I'd expect, but I read that as referring to paid performers, not unpaid fans/hobbyists. Everything else I've seen has been like "we're not calling for a boycott, keep being a fan of our work".
