hey everyone, quick disclaimer: this post is probably going to be super long, longer than those red dead posts no one read. Also, I'd like to thank everyone who liked and reblogged my last post about the youtube boycott (which has quickly become my most popular).

If you didn't know already, tomorrow youtube is launching an update that will assess whether users are underage or not. It will do so by having a bot scan your watch history and compare it to stuff people in certain age groups are watching. If the bot determines that you're underage, then the only way you can prove otherwise is by providing your official ID or credit card.

Whats the problem? Well, first of all, youtubes bots are notoriously junky and fuck up all the time, so they will no doubt mistakenly label people underage. Second, plenty of adult youtube users love kid-friendly content so they will definitely be flagged for no reason. Third, hackers or companies are definitely gonna use peoples info for malicious purposes. Fourth, youtube already has an app for kids so this policing is total bullshit!

so much of people's personal data is already on the internet: ip addresses, credit card numbers, birthdays, likes, dislikes you name it. How much more of our data do we need to give up before we can use the darn internet? In addition, this update coincides with a lot of recent internet censorship and policing that's already happening/happened!

Youtube claims that this update will "protect kids from harmful content". If we really wanna protect our kids, then how about we more closely monitor what they're watching or implement mandatory internet safety courses in school instead of policing innocent adults, censoring websites and enforcing asinine age verification policies?

I love youtube, I practically grew up alongside it. So I ask you to boycott them not because I hate youtube l, but because I love it and I want it to learn not to do stupid shit like this! Starting tomorrow, stop watching youtube as much as you can! If you have downloaded videos, go ahead and watch them. If you need it for school, then so be it. But please, limit your watchtime as much as possible.

Even if you can't or don't want to join this boycott, then you can still help us! Tell your friends, your family, your coworkers, your lovers, your priests and anyone else who will listen about the situation and encourage them to join the boycott.

Remember, we're all rabbits fighting a fox, and every little scratch and bite, no matter how small, contributes to killing the fox! But we need as many rabbits as possible!

so, hear me out: the king of the hill crew (hank, Bill, dale and boomhauer) as a guest crew in COD zombies. The maps plot could revolve around hank finding a chunk of 115 in his dad's old stuff and throwing it out, not thinking much of it. The main Easter egg would involve running around the map in search of the 115 and would end with you fighting the final boss: an evil, resurrected cotton hill.

"Hey, should we build some tanks?"

"Pffftt, nah. We'll be perfectly fine without those expensive hunks of junk."

German army in ww2:

"Hey, should we-"

"BUILD SOME TANKS?? YES, ABSOLUTELY! I WANT THE BIGGEST TANKS MONEY CAN BUY AND I WANT A HUNDRED OF THE FUCKING THINGS! I WANT A TANK SO FUCKING HUGE IT BREAKS EVERY BRIDGE IN EUROPE AND I WANTED IT YESTERDAY! IF THIS FACTORY IS NOT FULL OF TANKS BY NEXT WEEK, I WILL PERSONALLY BREAK MY FOOT OFF IN YOUR ASS!"

can I just say, I hate monster-romance stories where the "monster" is just some pale dude. Ladies, if your man doesn't have claws, fangs and pecs the size of mini-fridges then he's not a monster, he just needs some damn vitamin c.

If you ask me, stories like the bad guys and the wolf among us get the whole "the big bad wolf is a real dude" concept completely wrong. If the big bad wolf was real, people would NOT be scared of him. On the contrary, I guarantee that he would have an army of simps/fanboys who would be ECSTATIC to meet him irl
