Here in the UK it is still labelled as 'Gulf of Mexico' with 'gulf of america' in parenthesis underneath it.

The world at large does not recognise the 'gulf of america.'

This is because the US has no legal right to change the Gulf's name under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The naming conventions only extend 22KM from the shoreline. The rest is shared between the US, Mexico, and Cuba. This means only the land on America's shores up to 22KM away from them can legally be called the 'gulf of america', they cannot rename the whole thing to the rest of the world and call it a day.

I’m a disabled trans woman living in Texas, and about to lose the place that I’m renting. I need money to cover a plane ticket back to where my family lives so they can help. I’ll be homeless come the end of January if this can’t get sorted out. Please share and donate if you can, anything helps, even a dollar or a reblog.

I only need $300 to get out of here, but anything more would be more than welcome as I'm in debt from a surgery earlier this year. Thank you so much.

Then some PR lackey was like, "you won't believe it I know the exact show"

Team YouTube waiting five days to address this, 'both sideing' the situation where there's clearly only one person in the wrong, SSSniperwolf and teams YouTube both posting their statements 14 hours ago... yeah, this is gross, their statement is a joke

tl;dr jacksfilms made a second channel to react to sssniperwolf's lazy reaction videos in which she oftentimes posts other people's content without credit, Jack called her out for stealing content among other things, no one is above criticism and she deserved to be called out a long, long time ago

he and his audience have been actively working to find and credit the original creators of the clips she stole, contact them when appropriate to let them know that sssniperwolf was using their videos and profiting off of their hard work, and help them file DMCA takedowns against her

(if you haven't seen one of his sssniperwolf bbbingo videos on jjjacksfilms, please go watch one for context. the bingo itself is pretty funny, but then it's broken up by first hand accounts from smaller or casual creators—including CHILDREN—reaching out to Jack for support because sssniperwolf stole their content and made fun of them or other shitty behavior towards them. multiple people have shared that sssniperwolf's theft damaged their self esteem and creative drive so badly that they stopped making videos. it's fucking heartbreaking)

the upside is that, with Jack and others calling her out and encouraging the original creators to file DMCA takedowns against her for copyright infringement, they are making a real difference: multiple videos of hers have been edited and re-uploaded to remove clips from creators who filed complaints, in some cases enough to bring the video under 8 minutes so that it can't get mid-roll ads anymore. there's even a whole video that's just gone now, completely deleted from her channel, because so many people have come forward to file takedowns against her, both on their own and directly because of Jack's support.

she's reacting so strongly because Jack has been standing up for and supporting her victims, and in doing so, has hurt her income.

it's absolutely terrifying behavior but it's also a sign that even though YT isn't really doing anything, the fight against her is effective anyway. filing DMCA takedowns against freebooters and "reactors" like her works! that's really exciting!
