IMPORTANT (Please spread the word, at least!)
Okay, PLEASE LISTEN UP! There are two wonderful women out there who are both going through HELL. If you haven't heard of them, they are TheLostNarrator and Magpiepony. And what I'm about to say may sound corny or cliche but I don't say these kinds of things unless I mean them:
They are two of the most amazing, genuine, fantastic people I've ever had to pleasure of being a fan of. I've been a fan of them for at least nine years at this point, and honestly? They've kept me going when I feel that there's nobody good left in the world. I'm not even a romance-loving person but their real life story is the most romantic and one of the most blessed that I've ever heard.
They really, really have had a powerful positive impact on my life. Lost has inspired me to be a fanfiction reader in the future, Magpie has inspired me to write more--I just can't understate how much they both mean to me.
Aaand if you know what happened to Jacksepticeye recently, you'll probably know where I'm going with this. BOTH of them have been demonetized by the AI Dictator and shitty, ever-changing guidelines of "You"Tube.
Here are the links to both of their videos. I can't promise there won't be triggers involving real life, but please, PLEASE go through both of their videos and spread the word of this. I'm not asking you to share their situations because they themselves already have and it's not my situation to spill.
Even if you don't like MLP, or grimdarks, or can't spend the money (I sadly can't...), please, please, PLEASE spread the word and help Lost and Magpie get all the support they need.
Not to compare traumas and issues, but I've had very similar experiences they both discuss in their videos and I can tell you how SOUL CRUSHING it is to have all of this stuff hitting you at once. It feels like your world is falling apart everywhere you turn. Like the world you once enjoyed just turned its back on you, peeling its layers back and revealing the ugly truth.
They don't deserve this on top of all of the other pain and grief and worries they're already dealing with. They're certainly not perfect people--no human is--but they're both fantastic and have worked incredibly hard to make it to where they are today. I WON'T LET THEM SUFFER.
Now, I'm not well-versed in Tumblr etiquette, and I'm deeply sorry if I'm making a mistake with this last part, but I'm going to send this to those whom I feel comfortable sending it to. I don't have a lot of social courage or knowledge, but I want to be as effective with this as I possibly can--hopefully without breaking any rules (I'm looking at the Tumblr guidelines and praying that I'm not missing any rule that could get me or anyone else in trouble).
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong with this list and what I can do to fix it! If you'd prefer me to to remove your name from here, please let me know! I won't judge; we all have our reasons.

TL;DR: YOUTUBE HAS FUCKED UP MORE PEOPLE'S LIVES AGAIN. PLEASE TELL OTHERS AND GIVE THEM SUPPORT OF ANY KIND!
