Drawing fanart is NOT considered scabbing or crossing the picket line for the strike. Neither the WGA or SAG-AFTRA have asked people to stop drawing fanart, writing fanfics, or cosplaying (nor have they asked people to boycott the movies or cancel their streaming subscriptions). In fact, if you stop doing that or cancel your streaming subscription it will hurt the strike because the number decrease will show the studios that the unions don't have the numbers to justify what they're asking.

HKBlack made a long post about this as a member of a sister union of SAG-AFTRA (which is explained in the post).

If you want to shift artistic focus because it's calling to you, then go for it of course! If you're doing it in fear of going against the strike, then that's misinformation you've been given.

Someone suggested in a post about how to support the strike during con season is to continually be vocal about supporting the strike, which you could do in your fanart posts as well. Something like, "These characters mean so much to me! I believe the writers and actors who gave them life deserve to be compensated fairly for the work they did!"

There is a lot of misinformation and confusion at the moment, and I just wanted to share these with you because I didn't want you to be scared about doing something wrong (which, again, you're not). You are also welcome to check out the WGA and SAG-AFTRA's official website for more precise information, and there are many other union members you can look up if you don't feel sure about what I'm sharing here.

Hope you have a good day

AYYO, ANON COMING IN THE CLUTCH!!

I actually just logged on because I finally got clarification on this topic! I was being cautious and avoided doing fanart for a bit just in case, but I have been made aware of the misinformation! And thank you for coming in anyways to let me know!!

The fanart is back on! 💜💜💜
