no offens but people being overworked to death in industries like animation and making video games is a huge issue… like holy shit i’d prefer my favorite anime being delayed or a video game’s release being a bit late if it means people don’t suffer under intense conditions and stress

“Crunch culture” is not some immutable fact of those industries. It’s an indictment of the shitty project management skills demonstrated by those in charge. “Crunch culture” means you, as a manager, done fucked up and shouldn’t be in charge of a bowl of ornamental fruit, much less other human beings doing work on things.

im gonna go ahead and add on here that this culture being normalized by higher ed institutions in undergrad and grad school, especially in one-year masters programs, is just as toxic and dangerous, if not moreso because theyre paying for the privilege of making themselves sick.
