Straw Hat Goofy under fire for comments on SAG-AFTRA actors\u2019 strike YouTube: Straw Hat MoviesPopular movie influencer \u2018Straw Hat Goofy\u2019 is facing the internet\u2019s ire after making divisive comments regarding the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actors\u2019 strike. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (or SAG-AFTRA, for short) is currently on strike alongside the Writers\u2019 Guild of America for better pay, protections against AI, and more. As a result, A-List actors have walked out of movie premiers in solidarity, as seen when the cast of Oppenheimer exited the film\u2019s premier ahead of its viral launch this weekend. Guild actors are urging each other not to cross the picket line during the ongoing strike, which has prompted quite a conversation on social media as influencers and those in related fields speak out on the subject. Movie influencer Straw Hat Goofy under fire for actors\u2019 strike comments One such influencer is coming under fire for his thoughts on the strike: \u2018Straw Hat Goofy,\u2019 best known for his coverage of all things film-related. Readers may have seen him in the previews before movies at AMC Theaters alongside \u2018Noovie\u2019 host Maria Menounos. In a now-deleted TikTok video, Straw Hat Goofy created a skit discussing how he, as a non-union influencer, wasn\u2019t involved in the strike and that he will continue to accept contracts from big film studios to create content. This prompted the ire of many commenters, who called him out for not standing with actors in solidarity with the strike. Straw Hat Goofy later uploaded a video addressing the backlash, where he offered an apology to SAG actors but clarified that he is \u201cunder contract\u201d with certain studios and will continue to honor those agreements. This response has also sparked some backlash, with actor, writer, and SAG member Charlie Capen criticizing Goofy\u2019s explanation in a video. \u201cOh buddy, you fundamentally misunderstand the point,\u201d Capen said. \u201cThe whole point is to not honor the contracts that are given because you\u2019re trying to help support other people in their negotiating and bargaining.\u201d SAG-AFTRA has now released its official guidelines regarding its strike, which state that \u201cinfluencers may still pursue commercial work, including influencer-generated brand deals covered by the SAG-AFTRA Influencer Agreement and\/or Influencer Waiver.\u201d However, influencers should not \u201caccept any new work for promotion of struck companies or their content\u201d \u2014 but, \u201cif an influencer is already under contract to promote struck work, then the influencer should fulfill their work obligation.\u201d It\u2019s important to note that SAG-AFTRA is not calling for a consumer strike, so movie lovers are free to attend film screenings such as Oppenheimer, which you can read our glowing review for right here on Dexerto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
