I’m not like emo nihilist I’m more like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy nihilist like “life is meaningless and the universe does not care about you and it’s full of casual and callous destruction might as well have a party while I still can then”
Like the two forms of nihilism are “nothing matters so why?” and “nothing matters so why not?” and the latter is so much fun
“We’re all gonna die, so let’s throw a fondue party and eat molten cheese until we can’t move and are sweating cheddar”
half of the notes on this post are people going “um i think you meant girls and also i hate boys they are disgusting” and the other half is boys going “this isnt about me nobody could ever feel that way about me” like do you maybe see a connection here?? and also could you stop??
Boys are so cute!!! Small soft boys! Big buff boys! Tall skinny boys! In between boys! Boys are adorable!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m not even attracted to boys but yes??? can confirm???
Boys are amazing, especially nice ones who sympathize with you and make you feel beautiful even if you look like shit.
Soft boys! Trans boys! Boys with chubby cheeks! Skinny boys! Lanky boys! Boys with acne scars! Boys who run! Boys who draw! Boys who cuddle! Asian boys! Black boys! Brown boys! Pale boys! Short boys! Quiet boys! Funny boys! Boys with anxiety! Boys with autism! Dyslexic boys! ADHD boys! Athletic boys! Math boys! Boys who grew up watching history documentaries! Gamer boys! Fashion boys! ALL THE BOYS!
“We put ‘gay’ in our magic algorithm bot but we’re backpedaling now so it’s okay”
No they did not. The restricted mode filter is based mostly on “inappropriate” flags that are placed by USERS. Meaning a lot of this was caused by conservatives/homophobes abusing the flagging system and reporting every LGBT video they find.
While the initial outrage was valid, and important to have so YouTube would A) be aware of the problem, and B) be motivated to fix it, now that they are publicly announcing that they were falsely filtered and are working to fix things, there’s no reason to be dicks about it.
That last comment 👏👏👏👏
Hey yeah so that comment is bullshit.
My youtube channel has 8 subscribers and 399 views. Sure, one could argue that, in the time it’s been up, some asshole decided to flag a video.
BUT that ain’t the case
After hearing this whole mess about youtube automagically restricting any LGBT related video, i decided to test the shitshow for myself
so i uploaded these 2 videos. Back to back. Only difference being that the first one has “I’m also gay so lets see if youtube restricts this” in the title.
And you know what happened?
Nearly instantaneously, that video was restricted
For reference, here’s two screenshots of my uploads page, both without and with Restricted mode:
see any glaring differences? (hint: the video with “gay” in the title ain’t there in the restricted version)
Also HERE is the video, to prove my point. (for those who don’t know, the restricted mode option is located at the bottom of any youtube page)
And for those who might not feel like following the link, if you have restricted mode on, this is all you’ll see:
So while i hate youtube’s idea for crowd-sourced moderation as much as the next person, this whole mess with restricting LGBT+ videos ain’t because of that
it is a direct result of youtube’s restriction algorithm flagging any LGBT+ content as “adult”. Which, as you all know, is absolute bullshit.
Please don’t try to shift the blame off of youtube for this. Yes, youtube’s userbase can be pretty fuckin terrible. But this mess? That’s aaaalllll youtube.
except the auto flagging algorithm is based off of what’s been flagged the most in the last few years and doesn’t distinguish from real flags and false flags. so if, not so hypothetically, over the years there were millions of false flags on gay videos that didn’t even effect the video because it never went beyond the homophobe clicking a button, it would see a pattern. It’s NOT the result of youtube purposefully flagging LGBT videos, but the accumulation of years of homophobes false flagging videos.
New character. His name is vaud. He turns the world into classic cartoons.
does anyone else feel like they constantly have to justify everything they do? Iike I’m always mentally preparing a reason behind everything just in case anyone was to question it.
just some gash bell fanart. i’ve been rereading the manga lately with the intent to finish it this time and i love that the characters are so cute and sincere
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
