"Disturbing" or "weird" or "uncomfortable" or "nice" or "awesome" and so on are not very descriptive words. Also, just because the fringe is not the center, doesn't mean they're not connected: don't lump noticing the connection together with lumping things together. None of this makes me feel "uncomfortable" though, and I'm not American either, so don't lump my reaction and your reaction together as "our" reaction. > It's important that we don't just lump everything that makes us uncomfortable into the same category. And what is an "entirely different" part of the world? Made of antimatter? What part of the world would that be? Just saying "oh, there's probably a culture that has these different sensibilities" is heard a lot around ElsaGate, without ever actually referencing a specific culture. > it seems like US Americans are projecting their particular sensibilities onto videos made by some people in an entirely different part of the world ![]() You'll also find such coloring videos on channels that have blatantly messed up content, too. I found that channel by following chains of featured channels from hardcore ElsaGate channels. I want to turn my back on it for good, and if we can't find a way to self-host and directly pay what we watch, I'll find a way to live without video on the web. Yeah I still watch videos on it, 99% of the video material on the web is on YT, but even using an ad-blocker what used to feel lame now feels positively fucked up considering how horribly bad YT has handled this before it blew up as well as after advertisers started retracting ads. But there could be a category for it, and then people could check out which advertisers advertise to little kids and let that inform their wallet voting.įor me, YT is just totally ruined anyway. ![]() However, where to draw the line? I would draw the line at "if it targets little kids, demonetize it", not even because of the content of such videos, simply because I think marketing to little kids is immoral no matter in what context, but I know that's not going to fly. ![]() The sum isn't larger than the whole, but it's larger than each individual piece seen in a vacuum. In context of a positive flood of videos with an undertone ranging from brain damaging to abusive targeted at little kids it doesn't seem that innocent to me. It's a clip-art style "coloring video" drawing a baby with a lot of syringes, which then each empty their colored liquid into the baby.
