Never trust a corporation (to do the right thing).
Fuck all of that.
FUCK CORPORATIONS.
Got my YouTube account permabanned for posting a song about Luigi Mangione, citing it was ‘terrorism’ the world is bonkers now.
That seems justified. He’s a murderer and no one should celebrate murder.
Then why are people celebrating Netanyahu and all US presidents still on youtube? I reckon they killed a shitton more people than Luigi ever could.
I mean this is just them making official how they’ve been acting for 2 years minimum, as much as google and youtube want to act progressive and inclusive, people still get demonetized for talking about lgbtq or women’s issues, unless they are harassing them, in which case the video will stay up no matter how many of youtube’s rules it breaks. For example, trans NB game critic Stephanie Sterling had multiple harassment videos against them (they listed pronouns as they/them last I checked, please correct if changed) that are still up right now, several years after upload, despite those videos exclusively attacking them for being trans/non-binary, which breaks youtube’s TOS
Companies are not your friend.
Thank god for Sterling.
As far as I’m aware, they/them and she/her are both good for Steph. They said on their podcast that they use she/her most often in their personal life (because tiddies and long hair) but either set of pronouns works.
That’s good to know, thank you!
Boycott.
We knew that was coming when we saw Sundar Pichai in Oligarch Row at the inauguration
