This has kind of already happened to Donald Faison.
The massively popular game Fortnite copied the choreography he improvised for the Poison dance from his show Scrubs without his consent and never gave him a dime!
Heโs not wrong to be concerned about AI.
Donald Faison says โI donโt wanna die & then all of a sudden still be in movies & my family not seeing that money.โ
โI donโt want my likeness to be people saying things for me that I probably wouldnโt want to say.โ

Re: Gabrielle Union
We REALLY need to address the cottage industry of blogs and IG pages that employee an engagement strategy of taking a quote about a Black woman, stripping it of nuance / context, and cashing in on clicks. They're profiting from misogynoir and transphobia.

Bernie Mac died of sarcadosis, a disease that most severely impacts Black folks. My own father battles it every day.
There's a wing of @UIHealth called the Bernie Mac STAR Center in his honor to fight this terrible disease.

Nah Bernie Mac used to build his jokes up like Tetris. What a genius. A legend. Now we ran short of real comedians like Katt Williams, we get short jokes from the likes of Kevin Hart.

re: Justin Roiland
CAN WE PLEASE STOP ELEVATING HORRIBLE ABUSIVE MEN, CALLING THEM "A GENIUS," AND THEN JUST LETTING THEM BEHAVE LIKE THIS FROM POSITIONS OF POWER AND ACTING SURPRISED WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK OUT THAT WELL?
hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-โฆ
ALT By season three, Rick and Morty had hired its first batch of female writers, which didnโt stop Roiland and others from doodยญling penis monsters and other vulgar characters on the office whiteboards. As one show source recalls, Roiland could still be highly engaged and appropriately silly, though too often he was โsurly, petulant, uncommunicative and grouchy, like he always wished he was doing something else.โ According to another show source, he was easily distracted, too; the writers would regularly walk over to a Toys R Us, where they would buy action figures or Nerf guns, and โthen he played with them the rest of the day and we couldnโt get any work done.โ Other show sources say heโd derail pitches and interrupt with sophomoric non sequiturs like, โWhat if his brains were on the outside?โ It reached a point where multiple sources say it was easier when Roiland wasnโt in the room.
