The WGA does not decide what writers go to what projects, as the youtuber and everyone in here seem to assume.



You are so naive.

I'm sure there's no way a studio will be able to look at this data and decide who they want to hire for a project based on their demographics.

Italians shouldn't be under "white". We were spawned by the Moops.

What's the issue here? Don't the writers want this so that white, straight, Christian men can be passed over?

Studios actually don’t get union data.

Also, studios do not hire the writers room. The Showrunner does. The studio hires the Showrunner.

The way people think this shite works is amazing.

Why even send this survey (assuming that they're not trying to target certain individuals?)

You don't think a studio can tell a showrunner that they hired that the writing group must have a certain diversity score?

So you're trying to own me with semantics? I'm sorry...but the showrunner REPORTS to the studio and does the bidding of the studio. Kathleen Kennedy is the studio, she hires a showrunner/director with certain stipulations on what she wants to see in regards to cast, crew, and story, and that showrunner obeys or gets replaced.

You think that it's coincidence that the leading women in every Lucasfilm project since 2015 have been carbon copies of each other?

Writers and directors aren't hired anymore, they are cast. Just like actors. They're there to fill out a checkbox of diversity and inclusion. (See latest Disney Star Wars announcement on the Rey Palpatine movie)


It's cute that some don't think Chris knows what he's talking about. He's only been involved in movies and reviews in Hollywood for 30+ years.

Leftists win when they force you to debate the existence of things that you can see with your very own eyes.

They constantly employ this tactic in every arena they find a reason to pursue power.

It truly is cult level behavior.


And of course, anyone who dares to question them is branded... a cultist.


How ironic.
