Spam Youtube's Advertisers

Yeah you heard me. Hit them where it hurts the most! You really think all of this was a coordinated and planned attack on our freedom? The world leaders aren't that smart nor do they like each other that much, this was a large case of them all realizing they can swoop in and capitalize on the other's ideas, this was all of them swiftly taking advantage of previous events.

But YouTube has rolled out their testing of ID verification, and we all know how THAT is gonna turn out. It was never going to last, but we can make sure it ends quicker by calling the very people who YouTube does NOT want to anger;

Their advertisers and sponsors.

Mastercard had contacted Epic Games very recently about making sure streamers playing their games did not mention the situation of Visa/Itch.io or that their chat did not mention them. You know what people did? Went ahead and spammed streamers about how Mastercard was dictating what people could buy because they were puritanical dumbass old scumbags.

You know what you can dooo???

You can find as many sponsors/advertisers of YouTube as you can, and CONTACT THEM stating that YOU, a CONSUMER are not happy with the age verification policy, and that it WILL affect the sponsor and advertisers from making MONEY.

Do you know what advertiser in question gets REALLY annoying for everyone when they aren't able to make money? Amazon.

Do you know which advertisers have a large precense on YouTube? I, uh, dont actually know because ive been on Ad-blocker for a while but-you can contact the ones with a large precense and MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THIS IS A MISTAKE.

You can contact Hospitals, because there is a large chance that the hospitals or the doctors and workers there HAVE YOUTUBE VIDEOS ABOUT MEDICAL STUFF, and that this Policy will restrict people's access to it, and VIOLATES HIPPA.

Call your Legislation, tell them this is gonna end up hurting them WAY more than they think, tell them it WILL hurt.

And bombard YouTube, Harrass them, spam them, Spam Hot Cheeto Cheesecake, spam NO AI VERIFICATION, NO ID VERIFICATION. Spam 1 star reviews, stating that the policy change has killed the platform. Fax them endlessly, call them, leave voicemails, SPAM GOOGLE TOO, stop using it, stop giving it your time (at the very least little by little), TELL PEOPLE WHAT IS GOING ON.

They win the second enough people take this quietly lying down. Do not take this quietly lying down.

And for the love of all things good and memeable, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR ID. If you get flagged and still wanna use YouTube for some reason, give fake selfies from fake people. Do NOT give them your credit card either, and do NOT give them a REAL SELFIE.

Join Hacktivist movements, tell White Cap hackers what is going on, and as awful as it is, tell big people (such as the weirdo who is ATTEMPTING (awfully) to be a President) that this will MINIMIZE THEIR ONLINE PRECENSE and they will LOSE MONEY. PEOPLE DON'T LIKE LOSING MONEY.

A lot of people have to do this in order to be effective. A lot of people have to do this CONSISTENTLY in order to be effective. The fight is never over, im sorry to say, but we can always revel in our victories if we can push this back.

Tell your Legislature to not pass Mass Surveillance bills and acts, tell them this will just VIOLENTLY blow up in their faces, tell them to Remember the 5th of November, because like it or not there ARE people out there who will make sure it happens if you push them enough, and buddy are they pushing it.

And I dont have the list myself but there IS a list of people who have been pushing these Censorship laws and policies and more often than not they HAVE NAMES, RESIDENCES AND LOCATIONS. They also have phone numbers, and emails! They have ways you can get to them, and you CAN get to them :)

Be annoying, be so annoying. Remind them there are more of us than there will EVER be of them, and that they cannot afford a war with their own people.

things I would do if you're a nsfw/kink creative now because I've been eerily prescient about every single wave:

a) get a personal site with your own domain you own. now. not a carrd or third party squarespace. not next week. now. get it online with ugly-ass html but get your links there.

b) if you have the money: join one or multiple of eff.org / cbldf.org / freespeechcoalition.com

partly because they're actively fighting this, partly because they have members-only Lawyers You Might Need. Hint. Hint. Canary.

c) Write Down Those Lawyer Contact Numbers in meatspace. phone number of a real human being especially on paper, On You.

I have been in contact with lawyers for a few months now as my doujin circle knows. this should be telling you Many Things.

d) www.ecrater.com is where i'm going to be tentatively testing a shop because i like the fact you can *not* have payment processes and order digital/physical products via purely mail order.

(... be prepared for this to fall through too in the next 1-6 months.)

e) friends and followers of nsfw artists who earn most of their income through it: now's the time to support them. they're going to need the grace and financial flexibility especially mental health wise. domain/shop transfer/refund/therapy bills ain't free.

check in on them, and often.

f) get a VPN, use it daily to acclimatize, have them on your hard drive, several VPN's preferable. this is for the age verification laws coming. Start reading up on secure, privacy-focused infrastructure (prioritize email > website > shop in that order).

eff.org has a *ton* of resources.

g) prepare for discord and tumblr to be hit in the next wave. have alternatives *and actively start using them* if they're mission critical platforms for you.

I've played with matrix though I quite fancy IRC. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I say these things not to fearmonger but to give yourself the maximum amount of time to prepare. the pendulum *will* swing back. it did with the 80's moral panic. it will for this too.

you just have to outlast the bastards.

Steven Universe got blatantly and unapologetically cancelled by the network because the creators pushed for a lesbian wedding, and instead of going, "oh, fuck, that's incredibly homophobic, we should give Cartoon Network hell for that for the rest of forever, holy shit," everyone collectively decided to blame the crew for "rushing the ending" as if it wasn't completely out of their hands. Fuck's sake.

i really like this thing where websites will have separate "log in" & "sign up" buttons and if you click "log in" it takes you to a sign-up screen anyway so you have to click "i already have an account" and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your facebook account or with instagram or linkedin or deviantart or whatever, and if you choose "username & password" it asks if you want to put in your username or use your thumbprint, and once you put your username & password it emails you a confirmation code, and once you put in the code it says "do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins? do you want to sign up for facial recognition? do you want to give us your bones? give us your fucking bones?

The Matriarch Isn’t the Villain. She’s the Mirror

I often hear a discourse where Celine in K-pop Demon Hunters, Alma in Encanto and Ming in Turning Red are seen as vilains. They’re the ones who restricted the younger generation, hurt them, and are ultimately responsible for their pain, trauma and self-doubt. They’re framed as the real villains of the story. But I’d like to differ.

These are stories of intergenerational trauma. They are women who survived, repressed, and tried to protect their families the only way they knew how: through control, perfectionism, and emotional suppression.

And yet, when the next generation begins to reclaim joy, freedom, softness — they become the obstacle. Not because they’re bad people, but because they’re scarred. Their minds cling to survival strategies, unable to recognize that the environment has changed.

Alma is still stuck fleeing the colonizers.

Ming is still afraid of her true self.

Celine believes that fear and mistakes must be hidden.

It’s not about hating these characters. It’s about how unprocessed trauma twists love into control. How survival, unexamined, turns into rigidity. These women were never given space to process their own pain and they project it onto their daughters and granddaughters.

And here’s something we rarely say enough: intergenerational trauma can create toxic patterns but that doesn’t always mean there was abuse or conscious harm. Even when their love becomes suffocating or controlling, these women are not necessarily “abusive parents.” They are daughters of silence, fear, and sacrifice. And they were never taught another way. It’s important to make that distinction, especially in a world that often pushes a binary, punitive reading of family dynamics.

They’re the product of a generation that was told to endure. But endurance without healing becomes its own kind of violence.

What’s powerful in these stories is that they don’t end in vengeance. They end in confrontation and transformation. The confrontation is necessary: the younger generation refuses the silence. Refuses the shame. Refuses to carry a burden that wasn’t theirs to begin with.

The house is destroyed in Encanto.

Mei accepts her full self.

So does Rumi.

And in the best cases, this confrontation allows the elder to soften too. Alma opens up. Ming listens. And I’m hoping in the sequel, Celine will open too.

Maybe that’s also why these stories speak so deeply to POC audiences. These aren’t stories about cutting ties. They’re stories about how hard it is to transform them, to protect ancestral bonds while refusing to perpetuate inherited pain. In many racialized families, collectivity, loyalty, and intergenerational duty are sacred... even when they come at the cost of personal boundaries.

And sometimes, Western individualist frameworks read these tensions as dysfunction or villainy. But for us, they’re just the difficult truth of growing up and trying to do better.

These women aren’t villains. That would be too easy. They embody the fragile, necessary work of bringing change without breaking the thread. These stories are about refusing to inherit their pain without reflection. Because love, without accountability, is not enough.

These stories show us that each generation has something to learn from the next. And the new generation must also break free from the chains they inherited while preserving what is meaningfull.

But it’s not just their story.

One day, we’ll be the older generation.

And we’ll need to be humble enough to learn from the ones after us.

So don’t be a fool.

We may be Mei, Rumi, or Mirabel today.

But tomorrow, we could be Ming, Celine, or Alma.

And when that time comes, we’ll realize how hard it is to unlearn what once kept us safe.

So let’s have compassion for all these characters.

Because these stories show us not just how the cycle of generations works, but how it can make us better, stronger, and more connected... if we’re all willing to go through the change.

tumblr is the funniest social media site to go viral on

"fiction affects reality" wrong "fiction doesn't affect reality" wrong

The decision to emulate or not emulate what we see in fiction is on the audience. It's YOUR responsibility to KNOW better like a reasonable ADULT.

Abusive people are going to be abusive regardless of what total strangers are writing on Tumblr. Because being an abusive person is an active series of decisions that you make. You don't get to blame murder on Satanism and metal music in goddamn 2025

Shadow “finds out” he’s “a gay”: the comic

(There is no finding out, I lied )

He’ll figure it out eventually, once he decides to stop being difficult xD

Next up, shadow tries on a cutesy dress :>
