Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting. 

If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr. 

THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES. 

IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES. 

WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR. 

So here is what you need to do to drag this article down. 

1. Spread the word 

I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down. 

2. Make your own content 

Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved. 

3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs 

Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD. 

The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people. 

Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.” 

We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post. 

FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE. 

Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can. 

This man, this wonderful, wonderful man, gives 500% with every game he works on to make it the best experience he can. He messes up sometimes, everyone does, but he gives his all to try and make his games packed with content and please his fans.

This game is on the 3DS. If it was remade with only HD visuals and was put on the Switch, there would be people who wouldn’t even guess it was on 3DS given how much content is stuffed into Uprising. There’s a lot.

And say what you will about Brawl, but talk about ambitious. A full-fledged story mode with Nintendo’s characters interacting with one another through cutscenes, Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog in the game, a bunch of modes and achievements, online play, 258 songs (not including variations or sound effects), live orchestrated music (main theme with Latin lyrics sung by a mixed choir), save battle replays, Stage Builder, etc.

And this man continued to work on the Super Smash Bros. series despite his calcific tendinitis (extreme pain near his shoulder) which affected him whenever moving his arm and did so against his doctor’s instruction to rest.

Masahiro Sakurai does what he can to make fans happy.

Can you even imagine how difficult it was to bring back every character from all of the Super Smash Bros. games? Especially Snake?

He did that because he didn’t want people to be disappointed that they would lose a character like in previous installments. And has included some of the most fan-requested characters people have wanted for over 15 years like Ridley and King K. Rool.

Stop complaining your favorite character didn’t get in and leave Masahiro Sakurai alone. The fact that I’ve had make another post about this makes me disappointed in the fanbase and sad for Sakurai.

like, he’s so patient and detached from all of the stuff he’s gotten.

in the newest episode he destroyed 14566 blocks of bridge and blew up his original house just because he learned about xyz coordinates by accidentally pressing F5 and he wanted his house to be at the X:0 coordinate.

also look at this quarry. it’s his 5th quarry.

look at this absolute fucking massive hole.

and it’s not like “HELLOOOOO EVERYBODY WHAT IS UP, TODAY WE’RE GONNA BE PLAYING MIIIIIINECRAAAAFT” he’s just like. a quiet 30 year old japanese man who speaks very precisely and politely. and he even does his own english captions which are overlayed on the video and he uses emoticons like (0u0)/

some highlights:

-spends literal HOURS upon HOURS building these long, seemingly endless bridges because he wants to reach “the ends of the earth”

-around episode 40, he’s learned the ins and outs of redstone but doesn’t realize you can sleep in your bed.

-the noises he makes when he’s afraid of enemies/dies are precious and gentle and not at all what you’d expect from a famous horror artist

-spends hours trading resources with villagers to get glass only to find out almost 50 episodes in that you can make glass from sand

-destroys several mountains of sand in the desert to not only fuel his love for glass, but also because “explosions are sugoi 0u0″

-sees a silverfish and

-builds a giant “machine” that runs on redstone, minecarts, and pistons that pushes colored sand through a massive glass window. it doesn’t do anything, it just pushes all the blocks to the bottom and breaks after a few minutes. piro seems very pleased with it.

-makes these complex shapes/structures in an attempt to create a nether portal, doesn’t realize it’s just a rectangle

-a fan made a skin just for him, complete with 0u0 face

-falls in lava multiple times, never gives up

-builds a giant coin pusher game for funsies

-NANI KORE?
