no because their use of strike in this context doesn't hurt workers who are striking. go tell the people at the john deere or kellogg's factory that their cause is going to be hindered by someone on an online pet game using the word strike to describe something they're doing and see what if they're concerned lol.

Their use of the words strike and unionization in this context is flat out incorrect. This wouldn't be a big deal if it weren't for the fact that FR is populated by underage kids that are now getting false impressions of the word. But more than anything else, as was previously stated by others, it is cringe.

Agree. Americans especially are ignorant about labor, by design but most won’t educate themselves. While it doesn’t harm striking workers directly, appropriating the lingo to describe confusion over the rules of a pet sim does perpetuate the ignorance.

also it IS just incredibly cringe

I hope you have the same energy for Lightning's corporate exploitation, 'Stormbringer is a bad boss', the entire flight is about toxic capitalism trope. Otherwise this is such a needlessly petty nitpick. Don't you have better things to be doing?

Sir, this is a drama site. Needlessly petty nitpicking is why this exists
