hahaha yep, this word exists in this article but entirely in the context of how Japanese animators have absolutely no union.
I ain't saying the US animation union is perfect but at least there is one; if I hear that some big production like Spiderverse2 is at a non-union shop then it's off my list to bother seeing, even via piracy. I trained to be in this industry and burnt right the fuck out from working at a non-union shop run by a truly evil person, but I still feel solidarity with folks who stuck it out.
