Your favorite DynaMIXed Duo discuss the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike, examining its implications for cosplayers who earn a living through movie promotion and content creation. With their signature blend of humor, insight, and unapologetic Blackness, Sharmane and Shawnbay explore the challenges faced by these talented individuals as they navigate the absence of new content and the ripple effects on their livelihoods. BlerdVision lost power right before we went live, so daBlasian Blerd tried to shed light on the basic reasons why the unions are asking Cosplayers not to do promotion or marketing for the strike. And in probably an unexpected intersection of cosplay, fandom, and labor disputes, the duo offer thought-provoking perspectives and empowering their listeners to understand the broader impact of these industry battles.
