I've been reading a little of the TLJ novelization before bed each night and I have to say that I really think more authors working in Star Wars need to try for their own flair like Stover did for RotS. I know the plot but want to be sold on the experience of reading the author's craft.

I think it's noteworthy that the people who say things like "we have to sacrifice some groups to save others" or whatever are never talking about themselves. They never suggest that they should take the bullet for others.

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

As of now, a lot of you have told me you can still see the video. I've contested the strike using the built-in appeal process, and the Community Guidelines Strike/Warning appears to have vanished from my YouTube Studio; I have yet to receive an email.

I've been given a Community Strike on YouTube under what I believe to be false pretenses for an attempt to call out anti-woke grifters, and I need help addressing it.

YouTube's team may still be evaluating the infraction, which I think is a good sign because I only wanted someone to look at this with human eyes so they could see what I'm seeing. I'd be happy if this got sorted; I will keep you all updated if there are any developments.

The amount of crybabies surround Yotei is getting tiring. What is it about these people that they need to make hating something their entire personality? Like go outside and touch grass lil bro, ain't nobody on the internet interesting if hearing why you hate something.

My video called them out and only ever advocated using legal means within YouTube's terms of service, like making our voices heard, to push back. Now, I need your help so I can understand this seeming attempt by a false report to prevent me from using my voice.

Please, anybody who knows anything, share this with anyone who might be able to help. We live in dangerous times, and bad faith actors will do anything to exploit vulnerable systems to prevent people from speaking out about their obvious agendas to push bigotry and undermine our society.

I maintain that I did nothing wrong and was strictly given the strike in error as the link merely uses words that *sound* like it relates to breaking U.S. copyright law, even though it isn't, and the official "BreakingCopyright" YouTube channel, including the video with that link, is still up.

𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂, 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷 @ch4r10t.bsky.social · 17h

What I need to know from all of you seeing this is (a) if all of you can also see the video on my channel and in the search function and view it as well, and (b) if anyone knows anybody at YouTube who I could talk to about getting this pretty obviously false Community Strike removed from my channel.

However, as seen in Screenshot #6, the video, "The Truth About Anti-Woke Grifters," is still searchable even when I look for it with my side account.

This report could only have been made in bad faith, and it would never have been approved by a human being. I assume this is a symptom of YouTube's reliance on automated systems to handle moderation, something many people before me have criticized.

𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂, 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷 @ch4r10t.bsky.social · 17h

It links the user, as seen in Screenshot #5, to the website for "BreakingCopyright," which is NOT a website that encourages users to infringe U.S. copyright law but rather a website that hosts content users can use for YouTube videos *with permission* as "copyright free" content.

𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂, 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷 @ch4r10t.bsky.social · 17h

The link in question, seen in Screenshot #3, is actually an external link copied from the channel "BreakingCopyright," which as seen in Screenshot #4 is *required* for a creator to copy into their description to use as music.

𝓒𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓻𝔂, 𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓭𝓮 𝓓𝓮𝓶𝓸𝓷 @ch4r10t.bsky.social · 18h

I logged onto YouTube Studio to see that the Community Strike had in fact been issued to my channel, as seen in Screenshot #2.

I received an email (Screenshot #1) informing me that my video, "The Truth About Anti-Woke Grifters," violated YouTube's "harmful and dangerous policy" by sharing a link in the description that "promotes illegal activity."

Funny you mention that

io9: In the west, Vinland Saga is often grouped with Berserk and Vagabond as a kind of “seinen big three,” much like Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece were for shonen. What do you make of that comparison—especially in terms of how these stories center men who endure hell and emerge gentler, rather than perpetuating cycles of violence?

Yukimura: (Laughs) Wow, I’m very honored! Since the beginning of working on this story, I had this really strong feeling that I wanted to say something. This is something about morals and the state of the world. How we are submerged in violence and wars. There was something that was triggering me: “There’s something wrong with this picture.” I really wanted to tell this in a way that everyone could understand. That was a strong feeling that I was focused on writing the story. To be perfectly honest, I don’t know how people will perceive my work in the rest of society. I have no real good sense of that.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.
