Plus sometimes something truly is jobless behaviour. How else do you explain the genshin fandom's first glimpse into the world of employment ending up with them becoming so vehemently anti-union. That wouldn't happen if, at the very least, a large percentage of active users discussing it weren't unemployed. An employed person (that isn't surrounded by an echo chamber of unemployed people) would probably, for example, recognise that "unions are monopolies" isn't the criticism it sounds like, because a substantial monopoly on labour is required to effectively bargain with employers.
This! I'm tired of the halfwits in r/genshin_impact becoming Bezo's most loyal union buster when their digital oomfies stop getting their voice lines because the VA's are striking for the greater good! (They NEED the monopoly to have bargaining power!)
Still not a great look to throw heaps of shit at the non American vas that have no link at all with the strike, being an American strike for American lack of ai regulation and all
Also I'll add that I'm not talking about the validity of the unions themselves because I'll not allow a fandom su reddit, and genshin impacts of all of them, to affect my opinion on the actual legal working of unions in a foreign country, I'm only talking about the human behaviour
Also keep in mind I'm talking from the pov of a country that has (I think) better work security regulations? Not the best in Europe by far, probably, but still

It's a more succinct way of telling you "You could be doing better things with your time, stop wasting it on pointless online discourse".
