He says all that should matter is if you're a good writer.

As someone who has hired people throughout my career from all walks of life, all I care about is you love movies. You can love different types of genres, as long as you're passionate about film. When I hired Alan [Ng], I never asked Alan's sexuality.
quote:
They're creating a list. How well have things gone in the past when writers have been put on lists?
quote:
Alan: This would've been a civil rights violation to ask these questions back when you were hiring.
quote:
For people doing the hiring, this data is important to them.
quote:
The WGA writer who sent this to me said that members are incensed about being forced to fill this out so studios can have this data that could used against them... maybe to be prejudiced against a writer you've never met just due to their outward appearance.

I don't think throwing writers into check boxes -- I would click 'unspecified' on everything because it should be irrelevant. It could narrow the opportunities for certain types of people.

This is disgusting.

If you check the box for Transgender, does it automatically check the box for Mental Disorder?

The fact this is happening is truly shocking.

It would be more shocking if they weren't doing this at this point.

They have a version of the list for awards as well.

Everybody should just start making a mockery of these things and identifying as a bunch of nonsense.

That's a lot of options that are made up

This is exactly as I thought and why I've stated there's no saving Hollywood. It has to be burned to the ground and completely removed from where it resides and all the people and the groups that feed its funding and employment have to be burned to the ground.
Stop asking for movies that are written/directed like 10-20 years ago. You're not going to get it .
Hollywood only cares about female/BIPOC/LGBTQ featurism now. Nothing else matters and the other movie elements receive half arse efforts at most and they hate the moviegoers for disliking their radical political philosophies and value systems.

What a hateful everythingist/everythingphobe.
Merit is white supremacy, colonialism and/or the patriarchy.

Things like this are why support of platforms like DailyWire+ is important.

Identify as an Apache Attack Helicopter, that is what I do. It's not my fault I was born as a lethal killing machine.

Jay Are will be along to tell us that this doesn't mean what you think it means.

Pretty sure he/she is waiting on "...and why this is a good thing" article from MSNBC or CNN.

Wow, they just lump all native Americans into one homogeneous group, eh?

I predict he avoids this thread like the plague.

If you click the select all button on each category, you are guaranteed to be hired

They already try to ban him from screenings, and he still gets in.
Hail FranK!!

Of course people are pissed; there's no option for "Palestinian" under Middle Eastern! 
And it's extremely weird that they put "Ashkenazi Jewish" under Middle Eastern, as a separate category from Israeli, leaving no box for chosen people who never left the Middle East. Not to mention that the term Ashkenazi is at the center of a ton of Jewish conspiracy theories.
It's all absurd bullshite, of course, those two just stood out to me.

I'm not going to tell you it's good or bad or anything else, though comparing any kind of demographic survey to the Blacklist sure sounds irresponsible. This video seems to be working from the premise that this survey is what the wga will use to get screenwriters hired to projects.
The wga is a union you join once its clear that you can find work as a writer. Just like IATSE and the sga. You are eligible to join after you have a certain amount of experience, or if you are hired to a "union" project (a project a studio has agreed to hire union employees for; usually only low low budget projects are not union).
The WGA does not decide what writers go to what projects, as the youtuber and everyone in here seem to assume.
