Hi Neil,
First of all, I hope this ask sees you well, and that you’re having a good day ^^
I just wanted to clarify something regarding the recent strikes. I heard that, as far as the SAG AFTRA strike is concerned, any online content is considered promotion, and that cosplay content such as photos and videos by independent creators (of series’ both past and present of the studios in question) would be considered crossing the picket line. They had presented an email as proof of this, but the crop of it made it difficult for me to determine the veracity of it. Have you heard anything about this, and if yes, is it true?

Unless you are a SAG-AFTRA member promoting an actual show that you were actually in online, you aren’t in violation of any rules. Anyone who tells you otherwise, trying to persuade people not in SAG-AFTRA that they are “crossing a picket line” by putting up cosplay videos or whatever is trolling people and hoping to upset them for their own purposes which are not those of the unions.
SAG-AFTRA has released an FAQ for influencers wanting to make sure they are honouring the unions wishes that can be found below! This is not going to apply to the majority of fans talking about content you love, this is for people being approached to specifically promote struck work.
Union strong!
Specifically, for influencers who are in SAG-AFTRA, and have signed agreements with SAG-AFTRA as paid influencers.
