I have watched coryxkenshin latest video of him calling out YouTube for being racist and playing favoritism and its truly disheartening. It's 2022 and still black people are being treated unfairly on these social media platforms. Cory has always follow the guidelines. His channel is family friendly and even if he has curses or something that is deem inappropriate in his videos, he always blurs it out yet YouTube does this to him.
The fact that it had to take one of his non black friend's(markiplier) video for his own video to be lift off of age restriction says alot. It does feel targeted and racist when everyone uploads the same content but your video is the only one who gets hit with the restriction.
When will there be a platform where black content creators can feel safe and not have to worry about unfairly treatment.
I have nothing but respect for Cory because it takes alot of courage to come out and call out a big corporation such as YouTube for their unfairly treatment.

Harley: Whats he like?
Tony: I'm not sure what he's like now, we don't talk anymore
Harley: how come?
Tony: many reasons: he was always asking for money, he was a horrible drunk and many other reasons such as him being dead now
Harley: yeah, thats usually a pretty good reason for not talking to somebody
Peter: *enters the room* what is?
Harley: them being dead
Peter: *gasp* that is no excuse! I still talk to my parents and Aunt May and Uncle Ben.

.....should i have a fucking youtube account where i post about being in an actual portland polycule????

Last song?
ok so there's actually a story behind the last song i listend to: earlier i was revising some stuff we did in my thai class before christmas (bc our new course is starting tomorrow) and one of the words was "earthquake" and i saw the thai word written down in my notes and somehow i heard the word as a melody in my brain?? instead of my normal reading voice?? and so i went to look up the song and sure enough the word is there
actually i heard the melody of the word "earthquake" from this song in somebody's very specific voice and i wish i could say that you can win a prize if you're able to pinpoint who and where exactly i got this song from but alas i don't have a prize, so you'll have to do with my highest admiration lmao . yes i've linked it on my blog before some time in the last few weeks

i feel bad for raquel lee bolleau and i feel like what she's saying about the lack of transparency behind quiet on set is a bigger issue that the consumers of this type of content don't want to talk about or criticize. social media has led to a huge boom in tragedy porn and trauma porn about the entertainment industry but especially the children's entertainment industry, especially especially from the eras when the largest demographic in that audience were consuming it themselves.
it's already been problematic in itself that there is an oversaturation of unresearched and repetitive videos on the exploitation of former child stars. it seems like the creators and audience don't often ask themselves "have we gotten enough of this? do we need another take on it? is another video full of dan schneider rumors and gossipy forum posts really adding to the public discourse?" i don't know quite at what point it becomes exploitative that this content continues to be made, and be evergreen in social media algorithms. the volume, the reach, and the general lack of quality control are the evil triad. because we are far past the point where i really believe everyone consuming this stuff cares about exploited children. there's far too many people gawking and not reevaluating the systems of power involved. or, to put it more concretely: how many times do we all need to watch those clips of ariana grande squeezing the potato and spilling water on her neck? at what point is this just personally disrespectful and retraumatizing for the victims that for the most part we, the consumers of internet content, are claiming to advocate for?
quiet on set is the first time traditional media got involved in this niche. there is still a lot of value in some of the discoveries made by the series. but it does not have completely clean hands in this either. it does not feel like everyone involved in making the executive decisions cared nearly enough about the vulnerability of former child stars they recruited to share their stories, or hell, whose stories were told without their involvement, such as amanda bynes and racquel in episode 5. these people did not even give statements.
the focus of this docuseries was far too broad and not coherent enough at the end of the day. and they did not give enough support to all of the people they roped in to tell their stories about childhood trauma. i have a hard time trying not to be completely cynical about its whole production, because i really want to believe that many of the people who worked on it do care. not every individual involved knew or had control over the injustices that happened in its own production. but the executives? fuck em. they greenlit this thing, and probably incentivized the creators to make these episodes as fast as possible, because they knew it would be a cash cow. something as sensitive as THIS series should not be so poorly produced just because it will be a guaranteed smash.
