A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

This whole article sounds prudish. There's nothing particularly wrong with there being nc-17 or M rated voice acted scenes in appropriately rated games. If you don't want to act them out, then simply don't. You have a union to back you up. That being said, these sort of scenes definitely need to be negotiated and talked about long before minutes before acting it out. I fully agree with such a sentiment.

Obviously you either didn't read the article or don't care about actors being forced to enact sexual assault scenes. I'd rather think it's the first, because from your response I'd assume that you simply don't care about the actors' well-being and just want your fap material.

Please pay more attention the next time, and at least pretend that you care. This is about informing the actors and getting their consent.

And don't come with that crap about unions; in the game industry unions are practically non existent.

So read the article, twice if necessary; you might learn a thing or two.
