Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN

And I need to be clear:

Jacksfilms or Jack Douglass, is an old school YouTuber who’s been on the site for over a decade. You might know him from his “Your Grammar Sucks” series, or for his original songs, or for “Yesterday, I Asked You.” He is well established as a comedian. He has 5mil subs on YouTube, most of which he has gained steadily over his career on the platform.

Sssniperwolf does React content, and while most react channels will make an effort to credit original videos and creators or complication makers, or to add more helpful commentary [such as sneegsnag on twitch who has a criminology degree and reacts to police interviews to give extra context], Ssniperwolf does neither of these things. She has 34 million subscribers, and 5mil followers on Instagram.

Jacksfilms attracted Sssniperwolf’s ire because he, as a comedian, noticed this fact and decided to start a new channel, called Jjjacksfilms, where he reacts to her react content and tries to find the sources for the videos she reacts to in order to credit them. Jack has a harsh sense of humor, but this channel is not harassment by any stretch of the legal meaning. Jack is well known for being a pretty fair critic, and either way - the videos are public. What he did, while annoying for her, is not illegal.

They also go over this, but don't forget this. YouTube expects people to forget about it in a week, and people probably will, but YouTube has in the past done something if public outcry is massive.

it has to be massive.

Not only don't let Alia forget this, but don't let YouTube forget this. Don't let them forget they're making millions by platforming a criminal who, might I add, did in fact make children twerk for her on omegle and told them she's reward them by exposing herself. Only recently was this video taken down.

For those of you who do not know, HBO Max had just released a massive list of animation shows that it will be removing permanently from its streaming service. This includes Infinity Train, Mao Mao, Summer Camp Island and OK KO. For a lot of these shows, they can be found nowhere else on the internet apart from pirating sites.

I am beyond angry. I am sick and tired of animation as a medium being treated like shit. We are talking YEARS of animator’s lives being ripped away like they are nothing. This is a genocide of creativity. And as someone who has always dreamed of going into Animation, I feel like I have been shot in the chest. To say that this is disheartening is a gross understatement. It makes me want to throw up to see how my talent and the talent of artists like me and much better than me is treated like garbage.

Animators are not replaceable. You can’t just throw out works of art like this. Animation is such a personal and deeply emotional process, that seeing this purge is absolutely disgusting. I am enraged and scared and fucking PISSED OFF

I feel useless. Cartoon Network is probably going to die soon after this. And I feel like I can do nothing to stop it. This is mainly just a rant. But I am hoping that other people see this and get just as pissed off as I am.

We can’t let this happen
