Hell I’m surprised you said the three letter f-word… That’s basically become the n-word for gay people, only without the “Members of the minority group in question are allowed to say it.” loophole
Yeah, I don’t abide by that whole “only WE can say things”. I’m not calling anyone a fag. I don’t support either word, but I AM using them in historical sense to paint a broader picture for anyone who’s younger than 30. The thing I’ve noticed about most teenagers people is that they think they’re the first ones to experience things, and the things they experience is also somehow it’s always been.
I was at the airport a few weeks ago. I was rolling my eyes because this 19 year old is bickering with his mom, about how the government is corrupt. As if he’s made a HUUUUUUGE discovery that hasn’t been public knowledge since the 70s. Then he finally says the reason he’s calling the government corrupt is because they want to ban tiktok.
Before I rolled my eyes because I thought he was making obvious points. Then I rolled my eyes again, because of all the things to call the government corrupt over…you chose tiktok.
But yeah, thats not breaking any rules, because I’m not using it as a slur.
I know, I’m just saying people are so sensitive these days, I’m surprised you were able to say it even in an historical context without people jumping on your case. Maybe I’ve been subjected to Youtube’s overzealous censorship policy for too long.
Fuck youtube’s censorship.
I watch a series on youtube called MXR Plays. 10 years ago it was a guy who played video games with VERY adult mods.
Then he got a girlfriend, about 8 years ago and the series changed dramatically. This is about the time I found the channel.
So after he gets a girlfriend, they transition from playing skyrim and other PC games with adult mods into a reaction channel. Except it’s not what you think of when you think of reaction channels. They browse reddit for various subreddits now. Each 20-30 episode is either 1 episode = 1 subreddit, OR they fast cycle through multiple subreddits in one episode.
They might go on /r/aww or /r/subtleasiandating (Jeanie is korean (with the joke being that they never specify north or south) and Henry is Chinese. Or they might go on /r/nononoyes or /r/maybemaybemaybe or /r/interestingasfuck or /r/nextfuckinglevel
They watch more subreddits, but those are the normal ones.
The reason I bring this up because…in the 2010s, he rarely if ever got strikes against his channel showing video game footage of skyrim harlots in bondage, and sex escapades.
Barely a strike.
But NOW??? in the 2020s with faulty AI?
There was a video of an adult woman, fully clothed, blowing bubbles from those solutions where you dip the stick into the plastic jar, pull it out and now the solution is all over the stick with a ring at the end. Then you blow through the ring and make bubbles. Well one video showed us a trick where if you hot glued a straw to the ring, and put some salt into the solution, you get bigger bubbles. Like…WAAAAAAAY bigger. Like 20 foot round bubbles, as long as your lungs can hold out. Uhhhhhhh…I guess smokers don’t need to apply.
Anyways, they got a strike for “sexualization of a minor”. Theres no kids in the video, and theres nothing sexual about it unless you have some kink for a bunch out college aged girls smoking from bongs (hey! I guess smokers CAN try this…), and one of them is blowing really big bubbles.
CENSORED!!!
As a gay man- at least in my local community, the loophole does exist, and I’ve heard a good number of queer people use it (though only in conversations with people they know will be comfortable with it). 🤷
I don’t necessarily take issue with it being used in a clinical tone like this. Context is context tho, and I don’t speak for everybody ofc. °_o
