For those who have no idea what the fuck is going on with Markiplier today
A couple days ago, Coryxkenshin made a video about YouTube's favoritism and how it's very likely having racist influences
It had a lot of receipts for proof and things like this have happened more than once
I highly recommend checking it out, it's short and to the point and explains the situation
But basically his playthrough of a horror game that's popular right now was age-restricted, cause of some self-harm scene
despite other youtubers of his fame level still had their videos up and with this segment still tacked on
So he sent a clip of Mark's segment (probably cause he's non-white like Cory) to prove his point
It lead to both of them getting age-restricted
Now at this point today, other youtubers made videos defending Cory like Ludwig and Jacksepticeye (jack even having personal experience with his girlfriend getting the same treatment, so it could be a case of sexism maybe as well)
Mark decided to take a different route than the long talk format:
Try Not To Get Age-Restricted Challenge, where he played an adult game. He blurred everything out of course, but he still uploaded it and didn't age-restrict it
A great move, as many people like myself were curious why this was uploaded and found the situation out
WELL IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT TODAY...
Mark uploaded this the same day he was to appear in a YouTube hosted livestream where a bunch of gamers got together to play some minecraft and other shit
If I could high-five Mark, I would
So at this point, YouTube could age-restrict this video Mark uploaded, but all eyes would be on them since everyone would Know why they did this
So instead, they went a different route:
Cut out a huge chunk of Mark's segment
That he recorded and edited together
with his editors' help
On a deadline to get this out FOR YOUTUBE
So that only about 30 SECONDS was left in the stream
Keep in mind Mark's face was the biggest on the thumbnail of the livestream
AAAND he apparently wasn't shown in the entire rest of the livestream either
Mark confirmed this on Twitter that his thing was cut
And said he would upload the whole segment tomorrow
So here is how Mark used his YouTube golden boy status to look them in the eyes and give them the middle finger.
And why i love him.

Back years ago, when Mark was on a couple talk shows, the hosts clearly had no idea what he did and just assumed he was "an expert video game guy", and Mark looked so pissed off
And recently, when Mark's In Space With Markiplier was nominated for the Emmys, Mark said how it was a miserable time cause nobody knew who he was and nobody cared to know what he did
I am. So. Fucking. Excited. For Iron Lung to make it in theaters and sweep the box office and the film industry has to start respecting indie filmmakers that stemmed from internet fame

I'm still watching Watcher BTW. I was always a casual fan for the ghoul boys, I'll just continue watching their stuff on youtube
But this is your reminder to go watch Markiplier, the numero uno YouTuber with "controversies" counted on one hand, who posts literal movie-length projects on youtube for free that are incredibly diverse and beautiful and are filled with so much storytelling and hilarity and passion and love

Mark truly is every filmmaker: "I am tired and stressed and I have to devote my entire brain to this project 25/7 because I oversee the entirety of it and have to make sure it's executed properly and i am ready to pass out on my desk editing."
Then in the very next breath "I am excited for people to see this and to do this again :)"

So Mark wants to be in the fnaf movie. But he didn't want to cameo as they tried to work out a solution.
So if they're pulling a sequel, if he wants to be a character that's still a bit of a fun cameo...
Fazbear Entertainment was founded by Afton and his partner Henry Emily, if we're still following lore

If I had a nickel everytime I watched Mark play a buggy playthrough of a fnaf game made by Steel Wool, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but MAYBE DON'T RELEASE YOUR FUCKING GAMES UNTIL THEYRE PLAYABLE
