does it make sense for academy award nominated actress Margot Robbie to cross the picket line to promote the barbie movie on lemmy during the sag-aftra strike? yep, she's well-known for her anti-union politics and general disdain for labour. therefore, this must be a real account.
If you have been following me here at all, you would know that I have been extremely vocal about my support of the strike here, and I have been keeping with the strike rules and only mentioned the name of the movie ONCE here after the strike started.
Your smug accusation only shows your own ignorance, while I do try to be nice here, I will not stand for you making light of our fight for survival as some kind of gotcha.
Now kindly fuck off.
Dune 2 was postponed because of the strike, and I was really looking forward to it.
I mean I'm REALLY looking forward to that movie, but if my minor inconvenience means a better standard of living/opportunity for a large amount of people I'll wait for however long.
The Margot Robbie is Australian so this comment would have been written as 'now kindly fuck off, cunt.' Therefore, I am now questioning the legitimacy of this account.
Hi Margot!!
I learned that Americans get very offended at that word... it takes a lot of restraint.
Fair enough. You have always come across as a very thoughtful person.
Source for that? Because all I'm seeing is footage of her striking with SAG and pro-union comments she's made online.

The attitude toward celebrities on Lemmy versus on Mastodon is really weird. Same thing with reddit, a lot of the time. Like, okay, I have no idea if that's really Margot Robbie or not, but famous people do use the internet. Attention doesn't make them a different species that forgets how to use keyboards or something.
Might as well be nice?
i thought we were just joking around here, but if you're being serious: there's zero chance that's actually Margot Robbie.
or maybe like a 1% chance it's actually Margot Robbie, but for the last three months she's been playing a character on lemmy that's a goofy impersonation of Margot Robbie that breaks character all the time.
I mean, I have no idea if she's Margot Robbie, but I figure I might as well treat her as if she is. Doesn't cost me anything. It's basically the solution to the solipsism problem with lower stakes.
Personally, I think doing a goofy impression of yourself and occasionally breaking character would be a good way to fly under the radar.
