You were really nice! But Buzzfeed didn't steal the idea. They were planning the video since january, way before phil posted his video. And some people are really giving your fandom a bad name. Thanks for acting this mature :)

Giving Credit PSA

Ahem

Dear Phandom (or anyone else),

As you may have heard, the Phandom has been going off on Buzzfeed about copying Phil on his Not Milk Challenge with the Weird Milk Taste Test. Honestly, I do not know if Buzzfeed has thought about this idea before Phil or visa versa. Although it does frustrate me quite a bit that people from the Phandom have been putting up a bad reputation with some of the outsiders. But it’s also frustrating that Phil uploaded his Not Milk Challenge first but they still didn’t give credit. All the Phandom wants is for Phil to be recognized but it’s impossible if no one gives him credit for some of his ideas. A really big one is the 7 Second Challenge. People in the Phandom are truly frustrated of the lack of credit given to the creator and it’s not just the people in the Phandom, it’s the whole YouTube community. For example, Jenna Marbles, she is an awesome chick that is crazy creative and was the creator for the Photobooth Challenge and probably a few other challenges that I may have not heard of. She gets enough credit for it but half of the time she’s not even mentioned. Just because you change the name of the challenge or tag. It does not mean that it is not the same thing anymore. (There was also a small incident with Joey Graceffa but it was an accident because he was playing a card game similar to Phil’s challenge.) In the end, what I am trying to say is, please give the creators credit. Also if you do ask people to credit the creators don’t be an asshole about it or you’ll come off as just plain rude and give a bad reputation for you fandom or make people think that the creator is an asshole themselves.

(I’m not implying that Phil invented milk tasting but since he called it a challenge, it does imply that if others did this challenge they should give credit.)

Tl;Dr Please, give the creators credit because if you don’t, the creator’s fandom will go apeshit on you. Also if you do recommend that the person gives credit, don’t be an asshole or you’ll give the fandom/creator a bad rep.

Thanks for reading. I would love if you could spread the word with reblogs and please tell me if I had any info incorrect.

UNPOPULAR OPINION FEEL FREE TO UNFOLLOW ME IF IT REALLY BOTHERS YOU:

i think the phandom needs to chill when it comes to buzzfeed’s video

Idk, even with joey graceffa’s video y’all like overreacted and made a huge deal out of nothing.

Did phil come up with the milk tasting idea? yes.

Do I think he deserves credit? Sure.

But by bashing buzzfeed you are not doing anything, you are just promoting hate.

Do you think buzzfeed knew it was phil’s idea? Dudes, they do so many taste test its insane. They may have just came up with the idea on their own not knowing phil did it first.

But because phil did to it first y’all jump on buzzfeed’s dick and bust their balls

Chill please

Nicer internet…. did you guys not learn anything

IDK Im annoyed with all this unnecessary buzzfeed hate and y’all need to stop because its so useless okbye

I’m pissed off how some fans of amazingphil can be so rude. They call Buzzfeed names, acuse them of stealing ideas and want to make the channel credit phil without actually knowing the facts. Buzzfeed was planning the milk test video since JANUARY! They do lots of videos and must have a schedule. They have to prepare a lot of stuff so it’s clear that they had the idea way before Phil made the video. A lot of fans are being stubborn and I wish that some of them could see they are in the wrong in this. I get that Phil’s ideas were stolen before but you guys are acting like little kids. Can some of the fans apologize for their behaviour? Because seriously, that was ridiculous!

[alwaysovershadowed]

See?

So BuzzFeed replied to my comment

[alwaysovershadowed]

Okay... let me explain this. Buzzfeed was planning this video since January. So NO they didn't steal the idea. Ok?

Yap... I still miss Friends. Yap... I am still angry at HIMYM. Yap... I ain't going to let it go.

Friends:

Remember how Monica and Chandler were never supposed to be together?

Remember how they started as the really odd couple, sneaking around to sleep together, and actually ended up with healthiest, strongest relationship?

Remember how Monica got Chandler to get over his fear of...

This is the ONLY scene I liked in that freaking episode! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? That was the worst FINALE EVER!!!!

[alwaysovershadowed]

When Steve Kloves (who wrote the majority of the Potter screenplays) met J.K. Rowling for the first time, he told her straight up that Hermione was his favorite character. Rowling admitted to being relieved, and who could blame her? It was more likely for Hermione to end up disrespected on screen—she wouldn’t be the first female hero to get butchered in the reels. But this resulted in an undercutting of Ron’s entire character from the first movie. Don’t believe it? When the trio go after the Philosopher’s Stone, they face a series of tests that demand each of their skills in turn. Time likely demanded that this sequence be cut down, and so Hermione’s test—solving Professor Snape’s potion riddle—was removed entirely. To make up for this, she gets them out of the Devil’s Snare, Professor Sprout’s deadly plant. Hermione shouts to Harry and Ron to relax so the foliage will release them—but Ron continues to panic and moan (in campiest fashion possible because he’s played by a child actor and these things are always requested of them), requiring Hermione to blast the thing with a sunlight spell. In the book, Hermione is the one who panics. She remembers what her lessons taught her—that the Devil’s Snare will recoil at fire—but balks at their lack of matches while they are being strangled to death. Ron immediately shrieks to the rescue YOU ARE A WITCH YOU HAVE A WAND YOU KNOW SPELLS WHAT ARE MATCHES. It’s a simple change, but it makes such a marked difference in how both characters come off to an audience. Rather than a near-infant, incapable of following the clearest directions, Ron is the even-keeled nitty-gritty one. He’s a tactician, the one who will find the simplest answer to a problem provided that the situation is dire enough to ensure his clear head. Ron is good under pressure and brave to boot. He’s also hilarious. It is easy to write this off as an actor problem; Emma Watson matured and improved much faster than her costars in terms of talent—and Steve Kloves liked her portrayal so much that he started giving her many of Ron’s important lines. During The Prisoner of Azkaban, Sirius Black is trying to get to Peter Pettigrew (currently disguised as Scabbers the Rat), but Ron and Hermione are convinced he’s after Harry. In the book, Ron stares up defiantly from his mangled, broken leg and tells Sirius Black that if he wants Harry, he’ll have to get through his friends first. Yeah, my leg hurts way too much, Hermione. You take this one. But say it’s from me. And in the film, it’s Hermione who boldly steps in the line of fire while Ron sobs in pain and babbles incoherently. These rewrites not only depict Ron as an idiot coward—they also make him an outright jerk. When Professor Snape snaps at Hermione yet again for being an insufferable know-it-all, movie-Ron gives her a look and drawls, “He’s right, you know.” Wait, what?! Harry, why are you friends with this prick? Well, maybe because the Ron Weasley that J.K. Rowling put on paper was in that exact same situation, and immediately leapt to Hermione’s defense when she was being abused by a teacher—“You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don’t want to be told?”

This is why I don't like Movie!Ron. 

The movies ruined my favourite character!

Book Ron was an interesting, attractive and relatable character, and I feel that the movies really unfairly relegated him to the position of comic relief. The dynamics of the trio had to be simplified into hero + heroine + mascot, and that robbed us of a truly fascinating...
