"Algospeak is just superstition / not real / blah blah blah" I get that you probably don't respect anyone whose income depends on YouTube enough to speak to them, but if you would, you'd figure out that there are in fact words you can't say on the platform without risking a video not just being demonetized, but even search banned or deleted entirely.

"Transgender" literally used to be one of the context-sensitive banned words on YouTube. I'm the reason that got fixed 5 years ago. My video was the one that got deleted citing a "child safety" policy because I said "transgender" in a video about Super Mario Galaxy and you used to LITERALLY not be allowed to mention trans people in anything that could be assumed to be "kid friendly" (like Mario.)

As tempting as it is to say that there's no excuse on Tik Tok bc you shouldn't be doing Tik Tok for a living, videos there absolutely will be suppressed if the topic you're speaking about isn't entirely positive and social media is supposed to be for conversation. If you can't have conversations about certain topics without your video being hidden from people, that's censorship!

Instagram's captioning tool straight up bleeps out swearing FOR you if you don't do it, too.

The platforms ARE censoring people, each to varying levels of severity, and y'all are fucking up the conversation about this by pretending they don't.

[fraught-with-peril]

To give you an idea of how oddly easy it is to get a search ban on YouTube, this video briefly had a search ban for no clear reason

actually it's probably because of the word "sex"

[d-7th]

I've had people bitching at me in my inbox all day about how "oh, well some people are using it to make videos I don't like" so I'm gonna spell it out for you blithering idiots:

THIS POST WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FACT THAT YOU CANNOT SAY "GENOCIDE" WHEN TALKING ABOUT A GENOCIDE ON MOST SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS.

looks at you cutely

[sadclowncentral]

so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

it makes you a fruit.

[hightide-error]

the poster that this incredible illustration is based on is extremely striking. but while searching for it, I also found earlier posters for conveying this message along with a corresponding one for summer, and I fucking love them. absolutely lovely graphic design work. (both are from 1924, artist is Austin Cooper)

the one I was looking for originally also has a summer variant. (artist is Frederick Charles Herrick: 'it is warmer below' is from 1927, 'it is cooler below' is 1926)

[elodieunderglass]

I also like Edward McKnight Kauffer’s London Underground posters, the 1923 Natural History Museum one is such cool piece of visual art

[zetrystan]

Technically true.

Prof Rad over on youtube dubbed the Wolf Hunter comic (click here)! 

Go check it out and give them some support! :) (also the end killed me haha) ₍ᐢ•ﻌ•ᐢ₎

[zetrystan]

The farmer sheared the sheep, and it was used to make a gift for Wolf Hunter, so…

[zetrystan]

Wolf Hunter goes to the village markets.

[zetrystan]

Wolf Hunter and his conga line of sheep.

[zetrystan]

Wolf Hunter was looking for them for a while.

[zetrystan]

Not a werewolf.

[zetrystan]

The disappearance. 🐑

[zetrystan]

The worst snowman.

[zetrystan]

As you know, counting sheeps is perfect for sleep. Sheeps take that job very seriously. But some are still learning. It’s fine, I don’t think Wolf Hunter minds. 🐑🐑🐑

Watch with VERY CUTE AUDIO here!:

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

this makes me less sad every time I see it no matter how sad the rest of the world is making me

[justsomeguycore]

but there actually are some social cues that can be taught. like the obvious one is when someone says “how are you” they usually mean “friendly noise” and are not actually asking how you are, although some people ARE genuinely asking how you are and it’s usually up to the context of your relationship to determine the difference

also that apparently “when you get a chance” usually means “when you take a break from the thing you’re immediately doing” and not “on a list among various other things you are doing today or tomorrow”

and when someone says “i’ll let you get going” they mean “please leave”

[justsomeguycore]

oh and you have to learn to weaponize “thank you for your understanding”. which means “there is nothing you can do about this so accept it”

[polutropos-puppyboy]

i have for a while been using stepping on somebody's toes as a metaphor for misgendering. and i genuinely think that it's kind of a good one.

[polutropos-puppyboy]

if you keep stepping on somebody's toes for a long time at minimum they're probably going to start really hating you and at maximum you might cause them lasting damage.

if you do it on purpose you're a dick. if it's on accident but you keep doing it that person is still going to be mad at you because you don't care enough to try not to step on their toes

[polutropos-puppyboy]

if you give a grovelling begging apology after accidentally stepping on somebody's toes one time you're going to make the whole thing awkward, but not giving a quick "sorry" before moving on is still kind of rude.

The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.

Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.

No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Easy carb add on:

Cookie

Fruit (canned or fresh)

Chips

Piece of bread

Popcorn

Crackers

Easy protein add on:

Nuts

Spoonful of nut butter

Cheese

Roasted chickpea snacks

Glass of milk (dairy or non dairy)

Small canned sausages or similar

[what-even-is-thiss]

Sugar in there.

[sodorz]

thinking abt how fucked up steam engine boiler explosions can look. theyre just pipes under there

gives me the idea of a ghost/monster engine that looks normal, albeit a bit battered, only to swing their smokebox door open and a myriad of pipes come bursting out like fucked up tentacles

I'm instituting a new policy of "if I can't easily read your crusty scanned PDF then I'm sending it back to you, telling you to get your shit together and save your .docx as .pdf, and causing snakes to manifest inside your house"

[christaaah]

this but also if you are in accounting and you have an Excel file please do not save it as a PDF or take a screenshot of it and then paste it into another Excel file

[biglawbear]

I take it back whatever you have going on is way worse than what I was dealing with holy shit

[firstbornsons-deactivated202605]

@thesummoningdark hello?????

[thesummoningdark]

yeah no this is a real thing an actual human being said to me

Good afternoon to everyone in the notes having a horrible time! Y'all are fighting demons I never knew existed!! I think every person that makes you do stupid time wasting shit like this because they refuse to learn basic computer literacy should be fired!!
