I mean, technically the body of the actual thread (aside from the title & header meme) doesn't mention striking/unionizing at all, and the portion of the thread that mentions some artists stopping skin submissions for the month frames it more as a boycott & a way to reduce strain on the skin moderators temporarily. I agree with someone else upthread that the title & header are just meant to draw attention - I guess we can argue about whether it's ethical to meme on unionizing in general then? But I feel like that ship has sailed a bit with how many 'eat the rich,' 'when the communist revolution happens,' etc jokes have been prevalent on the internet in the past few years.
What I find way more aggravating is the handful of people in AAA (and elsewhere I imagine, because the FR userbase is like this) saying "literally 1984" and fearmongering about getting suspended/locked/etc. Especially the comment about staff "gunning after the escapees." Weird staff comparisons are nothing new to FR ofc, but some people have shockingly bad taste imo.
These are so unintentionally funny. I'm glad these people were able to stay halfway reasonable onsite but man it gets hilarious when their unvarnished takes come out.
okay i'm ngl, i thought the anons above complaining about the use of the word strike were being silly. but seeing people compare this to union busting and 1984 and uh, saying staff is "gunning down the escapees" (what?!) has made me reconsider my stance. holy shit.
