Hey team!

Thing 1

Ragnar's new Games from the Underground video is live, complete with my four-minute segment on Peak Bleak Blues. It's mostly the same as when I showed you the preview, but Ragnar put music under it at my request (he's better at sound mixing than I am). Do check it out, the other contributors all did great work and there's some good stuff in there. :D

Thing 2

I mentioned just the other day that YouTube had age-restricted the semiotics of "cuck." At first I was like "oh well," but then learned that age restriction means people can't watch the video if they're not logged in, so I figured I'd at least try contesting it. I argued that it's impossible to discuss the racist subtext of "cuck" without unpacking its relationship to porn, and stressed that the pornographic imagery is heavily censored, and said it's mostly people under 18 using the term so it's important they have access to the context.

In response, YouTube deleted the video and gave me a community strike, saying the video was pornographic.

(also, hilariously, here's what showed up here on Patreon after I typed the above)

I can't get the video reinstated because it is gone, so I'm going to have to re-edit and re-upload. That will be a bit of trial-and-error because YouTube never tells you the specific segments they take issue with, so I'ma have to guess. That'll take a few days, I'm prioritizing my next video for now, but you can still watch the mirrored version on Vimeo.

Weird morning.
